Exhibit 99.1
Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc. Reports Q4 and
Year-end 2015 Results
New York, NY – March 10, 2016 - Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SAMG) (the "Company" or "Silvercrest") today reported the results of its operations for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015.
Business Update
During the fourth quarter of 2015, Silvercrest benefitted from improved market conditions and asset values, increased top-line revenue, a growing pipeline of new business opportunities and continued outperformance of its proprietary value equity capabilities. The firm increased discretionary assets under management by nearly $0.3 billion, ending the fourth quarter with $12.1 billion, up from $11.8 billion as of September 30, 2015. For the calendar year 2015, new client discretionary assets increased by $0.9 billion but were offset by $0.4 billion in market depreciation. Total assets under management now stand at $18.1 billion, up from $17.9 billion in December 2014, despite more difficult market conditions that led to $0.7 billion in market depreciation during the year.
Top line revenue increased 8.2% for the calendar year ended December 2015 versus the year ended 2014 -- from $69.5 million to $75.1 million -- due to organic growth, increased institutional business, and our successful acquisition of Jameson, Eaton & Wood, Inc., which has performed in-line with projections. Top line revenue was up 8.5% for the fourth quarter 2015 versus the fourth quarter 2014.
Importantly, our new business pipeline has rebuilt since the market turmoil of the third quarter 2015, reflecting the maturity of our marketing efforts. Silvercrest's proprietary value equity strategies have maintained their relative outperformance compared with their benchmarks. Each of the firm's six strategies has now outperformed its benchmark for nearly all periods, as well as since inception. Our outperformance bodes well for future organic growth, both institutionally and with high net worth families.
We remain focused on finding selective and prudent acquisitions in our space and believe Silvercrest has built one of the premier brands in the fast-growing RIA business, focused on high net worth families and select institutions.

AUM Increased to $18.1 billion
Silvercrest’s discretionary assets under management increased by $0.5 billion, or 4.3%, to $12.1 billion at December 31, 2015 from $11.6 billion at December 31, 2014. Silvercrest’s AUM increased by $0.2 billion, or 1.1%, to $18.1 billion at December 31, 2015 from $17.9 billion at December 31, 2014. The increase was attributable to net client inflows of $0.9 billion, which include $0.7 billion of AUM related to our acquisition of Jamison, Eaton & Wood, Inc. (“the Jamison Acquisition”) on June 30, 2015, partially offset by $0.7 billion in market depreciation.
Silvercrest’s discretionary assets under management increased by $1.5 billion, or 14.9%, to $11.6 billion at December 31, 2014 from $10.1 billion at December 31, 2013. Silvercrest’s AUM increased by $2.2 billion, or 14.0%, to $17.9 billion at December 31, 2014 from $15.7 billion at December 31, 2013. The increase was attributable to $1.5 billion in market appreciation in addition to net client inflows of $0.7 billion.
Fourth Quarter 2015 vs. Fourth Quarter 2014
Revenue increased by $1.5 million, or 8.5%, to $19.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015, from $17.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014. This increase was driven primarily by growth in our management and advisory fees as a result of increased AUM. Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2015 related to the Jamison Acquisition was $1.2 million.
Total expenses increased by $0.4 million, or 2.4%, to $15.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 from $14.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014. Compensation and benefits expense increased by $0.2 million, or 1.8%, to $11.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 from $10.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in benefits costs of $0.1 million, an increase in equity-based compensation of $0.6 million due to the granting of restricted stock units in August 2015 and an increase in salary expense of $0.5 million as a result of both merit-based increases and increased headcount due to the Jamison Acquisition, partially offset by a decrease in the accrual for bonuses of $1.0 million. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.1 million, or 2.6%, to $4.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 from $4.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014. This increase was primarily due to an increase in investment research costs of $0.4 million, an increase in sub-advisory and referral fees of $0.2 million and an increase in depreciation and amortization of $0.2 million due primarily to the Jamison Acquisition, partially offset by a change in the fair value of estimated earnout payments of $0.6 million related to the Jamison Acquisition and our 2011 acquisition of certain assets of Milbank Winthrop & Co. (the “Milbank Acquisition”).
Consolidated net income was $2.2 million. Net income attributable to Silvercrest was $0.9 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2015. Our Adjusted Net Income1 was $2.5 million, or $0.20 per adjusted basic share and $0.19 per adjusted diluted share3 for the three months ended December 31, 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA1 was $5.8 million or 30.0% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to $5.8 million or 32.5% of revenue for the same period in the prior year.
2
Year Ended December 31, 2015 vs. Year Ended December 31, 2014
Revenue increased by $5.7 million, or 8.2%, to $75.2 million for year ended December 31, 2015, from $69.5 million for year ended December 31, 2014. This increase was driven primarily by growth in our management and advisory fees as a result of increased assets under management, partially as a result of the Jamison Acquisition. Revenue related to the Jamison Acquisition for the six months ended December 31, 2015 was $2.6 million.
Total expenses increased by $4.0 million, or 7.4%, to $58.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 from $54.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in compensation and benefits expense of $2.6 million and an increase in general and administrative expenses of $1.5 million. The increase in compensation and benefits expense was primarily attributable to an increase in salaries and benefits of $1.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, due to both merit increases and increased headcount, an increase in the accrual for bonuses of $0.2 million, an increase of $0.1 million related to an earnout for the principals hired as part of the Richmond, VA office expansion, and increased equity-based compensation expense of $0.5 million primarily as a result of the granting of restricted stock units in 2015. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in professional fees of $0.6 million related to the timing of audit expenses and increased legal fees as a result of the Jamison Acquisition and the granting of restricted stock units, an increase in investment research costs of $1.2 million due to decreased soft dollar costing, an increase in occupancy and related expenses of $0.1 million, an increase in depreciation and amortization of $0.4 million due primarily to intangibles acquired as part of the Jamison Acquisition and an increase in travel and entertainment expenses of $0.2 million. This was partially offset by a change in the fair value of estimated earnout payments related to the Milbank and Jamison acquisitions of $0.6 million, a decrease in bad debt expense of $0.2 million because we increased our reserve in 2014, a decrease in client reimbursements of $0.1 million and a decrease in sub-advisory and referral fees of $0.1 million as a result of lower sub-advisory revenue.
Consolidated net income was $11.1 million. Net income attributable to Silvercrest was $5.3 million, or $0.68 per basic and diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Silvercrest’s Adjusted Net Income1 was $10.7 million, or $0.84 and $0.78 per adjusted basic and diluted share3, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Adjusted EBITDA1 was $21.9 million or 29.1% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to $21.1 million or 30.4% of revenue for the same period in the prior year.

1 |
Adjusted measures are non-GAAP measures and are explained and reconciled to the comparable GAAP measures in Exhibits 3 and 4. |
|
2 |
We have computed average AUM by averaging AUM at the beginning of the applicable period and AUM at the end of the applicable period. |
|
3 |
Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share measures for the year ended December 31, 2015 are based on the number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2015. 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. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $31.6 million at December 31, 2015, compared to $30.8 million at December 31, 2014. Silvercrest L.P. had notes payable of $4.5 million at December 31, 2015 and $4.1 million at December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2015, there was nothing outstanding on our revolving credit facility with City National Bank.
Total stockholders' equity was $45.8 million at December 31, 2015. We had 7,989,749 million shares of Class A common stock outstanding and 4,695,014 million shares of Class B common stock outstanding at December 31, 2015.
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. |
|
|
· |
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenue. |
|
|
· |
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 corporate rate of 40%. |
|
|
· |
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. |

(a) |
Primarily represents legal fees of $105 and other professional fees of $164 associated with the Jamison Acquisition. |
|
|
(b) |
In 2015, represents $292 of accrued earnout and $69 of professional fees related to our Richmond, VA office expansion. In 2014, represents $185 of accrued earnout and $55 of professional fees related to our Richmond, VA office expansion. |
|
|
(c) |
In 2015, represents professional fees of $57 related to the initial award agreements of restricted stock unit grants, relocation expenses for a specific partner of $28, software implementation costs of $40, professional fees of $49 related to a telecom project and compensatory incentive fees of $11 paid to a former Marathon principal. This was offset by a fair value adjustment to the Milbank contingent purchase price consideration of ($82), a fair value adjustment to the Jamison contingent purchase price consideration of ($87) and a true-up adjustment to our tax receivable agreement of ($1,209). The adjustment in fair value of the tax receivable agreement is the result in a reduction in future effective corporate tax rate in New York City as a result of a law change. The reduction in the future effective corporate tax rate will result in less tax benefits being recognized by the Company from future amortization reducing its liability pursuant to the tax receivable agreement. In 2014, represents $51 in professional fees related to the modification of certain partner redemption notes, a fair value adjustment to the Milbank contingent consideration of $541, a one-time charitable donation of $30, professional fees of $13 related to the estate of our former Chief Executive Officer, compensatory incentive fees of $178 paid to a former Marathon principal and $78 of professional fees related to our shelf registration filing, offset by an $713 true-up adjustment to our tax receivable agreement. |
