NEW YORK, Nov. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SAMG) (the "Company" or "Silvercrest") today reported the results of its operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2018.

Business Update

Silvercrest experienced an increase of approximately $430 million in its discretionary AUM during the third quarter of 2018, a quarterly increase of 3%, primarily driven by capital markets. Silvercrest's discretionary AUM drives the firm's revenue and it has increased $1.3 billion year over year, driven by good capital markets and new client organic growth. The firm achieved a new high of $16.6 billion in discretionary assets under management to end the third quarter of 2018. As a result of increased discretionary assets, Silvercrest's quarterly revenue increased by 9.1% year over year.

We announced during our second quarter that Silvercrest would complete its investment in its outsourced CIO business with the addition of professionals to complement the firm's superb investment team. We plan to aggressively grow this business, and the firm has developed a good pipeline of opportunities. Silvercrest also has laid the groundwork for future growth in the high net worth business and has launched a value-added family business advisory capability. We are determined to grow our wealth management, institutional asset management, outsourced CIO and family office businesses. We remain prepared to use our capital for new strategic initiatives, the hiring of intellectual capital and potential acquisitions, including new asset management capabilities.

On October 30, 2018, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.14 per share of Class A common stock.  The dividend will be paid on or about December 21, 2018 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 14, 2018.

Adjusted measures are non-GAAP measures and are explained and reconciled to the comparable GAAP measures in Exhibits 2 and 3.

2

Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are based on the number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2018.  Adjusted diluted earnings per share are further based on the addition of unvested deferred equity units, restricted stock units, and performance units to the extent dilutive at the end of the reporting period.

3

We have computed average AUM by averaging AUM at the beginning of the applicable period and AUM at the end of the applicable period.

 

AUM at $21.7 billion

Silvercrest's discretionary assets under management increased by $1.3 billion, or 8.5%, to $16.6 billion at September 30, 2018 from $15.3 billion at September 30, 2017.  The increase was attributable to market appreciation of $1.1 billion and net client inflows of $0.2 billion.  Silvercrest's total AUM increased by $1.1 billion, or 5.3%, to $21.7 billion at September 30, 2018 from $20.6 billion at September 30, 2017.  The increase was attributable to market appreciation of $1.8 billion and net client outflows of $0.7 billion.

Silvercrest's discretionary assets under management increased by $0.4 billion, or 2.5%, to $16.6 billion at September 30, 2018 from $16.2 billion at June 30, 2018.  The increase was attributable to market appreciation of $0.5 billion partially offset by net client outflows of $0.1 billion.  Silvercrest's total AUM decreased by $0.1 billion, or 0.5%, to $21.7 billion at September 30, 2018 from $21.8 billion June 30, 2018.  The decrease was attributable to net client outflows of $1.0 billion, partially offset by market appreciation of $0.9 billion.

Third Quarter 2018 vs. Third Quarter 2017

Revenue increased by $2.1 million, or 9.1%, to $24.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, from $22.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. This increase was driven primarily by growth in our management and advisory fees as a result of increased assets under management. 

Total expenses increased by $2.2 million, or 12.8%, to $19.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $17.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017.  Compensation and benefits expense increased by $1.4 million, or 10.7%, to $14.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $13.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the accrual for bonuses of $1.3 million and an increase in salaries expense of $0.1 million primarily as a result of merit-based increases and newly hired staff.  General and administrative expenses increased by $0.8 million, or 19.8%, to $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in occupancy costs of $0.5 million mainly due to an increase in rent expense associated with the extension of the lease for our office space in New York and an increase in recruiting costs of $0.3 million related to newly hired staff.

Consolidated net income was $3.9 million or 15.6% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to $3.7 million or 16.3% of revenue for the same period in the prior year.  Net income attributable to Silvercrest was $2.2 million, or $0.26 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2018.   Our Adjusted Net Income1 was $4.2 million, or $0.31 per adjusted basic share and $0.31 per adjusted diluted share2 for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA1 was $7.0 million or 28.3% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to $7.0 million or 30.7% of revenue for the same period in the prior year.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

Revenue increased by $6.9 million, or 10.4%, to $73.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, from $66.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This increase was driven primarily by growth in our management and advisory fees as a result of increased assets under management. 

Total expenses increased by $6.3 million, or 12.1%, to $57.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $51.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.  Compensation and benefits expense increased by $4.1 million, or 10.3%, to $43.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $39.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the accrual for bonuses of $4.0 million and an increase in salaries expense of $0.1 million primarily as a result of merit-based increases and newly-hired staff.  General and administrative expenses increased by $2.2 million, or 18.0%, to $14.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in occupancy costs of $1.2 million mainly due to an increase in rent expense associated with the extension of the lease for our office space in New York, an increase in sub-advisory and referral fees of $0.1 million due to an increase in sub-advisory revenue, an increase in recruiting costs of $0.3 million related to newly hired staff, an increase in bank fees of $0.1 and an increase in portfolio and systems expenses of $0.6 million due to an increase in accrued soft dollar-related research costs.  This was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization of $0.1 million.

Consolidated net income was $12.1 million or 16.4% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to $10.6 million or 15.9% of revenue for the same period in the prior year.  Net income attributable to Silvercrest was $6.7 million, or $0.81 per basic and diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.   Our Adjusted Net Income1 was $12.6 million, or $0.93 per adjusted basic share and $0.92 per adjusted diluted share2 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA1 was $21.1 million or 28.5% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to $20.3 million or 30.3% of revenue for the same period in the prior year.

Silvercrest L.P. had notes payable of $0 at September 30, 2018 and $0.7 million at December 31, 2017.  As of September 30, 2018, there was nothing outstanding on our revolving credit facility with City National Bank. 

Total Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc.'s equity was $53.4 million at September 30, 2018.  We had 8,345,635 shares of Class A common stock outstanding and 5,106,564 shares of Class B common stock outstanding at September 30, 2018.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with additional insight, promote transparency and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making, we supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a basis consistent with GAAP with Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share which are non-GAAP financial measures of earnings.  These adjustments, and the non-GAAP financial measures that are derived from them, provide supplemental information to analyze our operations between periods and over time. Investors should consider our non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

  • EBITDA represents net income before provision for income taxes, interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization.

  • We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA without giving effect to the Delaware franchise tax, professional fees associated with acquisitions or financing transactions, gains on extinguishment of debt or other obligations related to acquisitions, impairment charges and losses on disposals or abandonment of assets and leaseholds, client reimbursements and fund redemption costs, severance and other similar expenses, but including partner incentive allocations, prior to our initial public offering, as an expense. We feel that it is important to management and investors to supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis with Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure of earnings, as this measure provides a perspective of recurring earnings of the Company, taking into account earnings attributable to both Class A and Class B shareholders.

  • Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenue. We feel that it is important to management and investors to supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis with Adjusted EBITDA Margin, a non-GAAP financial measure of earnings, as this measure provides a perspective of recurring profitability of the Company, taking into account profitability attributable to both Class A and Class B shareholders.

  • Adjusted Net Income represents recurring net income without giving effect to professional fees associated with acquisitions or financing transactions, losses on forgiveness of notes receivable from our principals, gains on extinguishment of debt or other obligations related to acquisitions, impairment charges and losses on disposals or abandonment of assets and leaseholds, client reimbursements and fund redemption costs, severance and other similar expenses, but including partner incentive allocations, prior to our initial public offering, as an expense. Furthermore, Adjusted Net Income includes income tax expense assuming a blended corporate rate of 26% for periods beginning on January 1, 2018 as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and 40% for periods prior to 2018. We feel that it is important to management and investors to supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis with Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP financial measure of earnings, as this measure provides a perspective of recurring income of the Company, taking into account income attributable to both Class A and Class B shareholders.

  • Adjusted Earnings Per Share represents Adjusted Net Income divided by the actual Class A and Class B shares outstanding as of the end of the reporting period for basic Adjusted Earnings Per Share, and to the extent dilutive, we add unvested deferred equity units, restricted stock units and performance units to the total shares outstanding to compute diluted Adjusted Earnings Per Share. As a result of our structure, which includes a non-controlling interest, we feel that it is important to management and investors to supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis with Adjusted Earnings Per Share, a non-GAAP financial measure of earnings, as this measure provides a perspective of recurring earnings per share of the Company as a whole as opposed to being limited to our Class A common stock.
