Exhibit 99.1

Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc. Reports Q4 and Year-end 2018 Results

New York, NY – March 7, 2019 - 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, 2018.

Business Update

Silvercrest completed 2018 with record calendar-year revenue. The firm achieved an 8% increase in 2018 year-over-year revenue to $98.7 million. Net income and Adjusted net income1 grew from $12.5 million to $17.4 million and $13.1 million to $17.9 million, respectively; and Silvercrest maintained its Adjusted EBITDA margin1 of 30% for full year 2018, as compared with 30.5% for full year 2017, despite investments in new initiatives.

While Silvercrest experienced organic growth for most of 2018, including net new asset flows, the fourth quarter of 2018 was difficult, experiencing both negative flows as well as market declines during a volatile quarter for the markets. After achieving a new high of $16.6 billion in discretionary assets under management to end the third quarter of 2018, the firm ended the fourth quarter and year-end 2018 with $14.2 billion in discretionary assets under management and $19.0 billion in total assets under management.

In January 2019, Silvercrest announced the acquisition of a new institutional-quality international equity strategy. We expect the capability to benefit both our high net worth client base and resonate with institutional investors. We have completed our business integration and are bringing the strategy to market. During 2018, the firm also made investments to grow its institutional asset management, the outsourced CIO and family office businesses. Silvercrest firmly believes that re-investment in our business and in our clients will create the greatest long-term value for shareholders. We remain prepared to use our capital for additional strategic initiatives, the hiring of intellectual capital and potential acquisitions, including new asset management capabilities.

While the current M&A environment remains expensive, Silvercrest continues to actively evaluate selective and prudent acquisitions with culturally compatible firms to complement our organic growth, investment capabilities and professional talent, including the potential to expand into new geographies.

As previously announced on February 14, 2019, Silvercrest raised its quarterly dividend to $0.15 per share of Class A common stock from $0.14 per share of Class A common stock, representing a 7.1% increase in the dividend.

Adjusted measures are non-GAAP measures and are explained and reconciled to the comparable GAAP measures in Exhibits 3 and 4.

2

Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share measures for the year ended December 31, 2018 are based on the number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding as of December 31, 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 $19.0 billion

Silvercrest’s discretionary assets under management declined by $1.8 billion, or 11.3%, to $14.2 billion at December 31, 2018 from $16.0 billion at December 31, 2017.  The decrease was attributable to market depreciation of $1.4 billion and net client outflows of $0.4 billion.  Silvercrest’s total AUM declined by $2.3 billion, or 10.8%, to $19.0 billion at December 31, 2018 from $21.3 billion at December 31, 2017.  The decrease was attributable to market depreciation of $1.1 billion and net client outflows of $1.2 billion.

Fourth Quarter 2018 vs. Fourth Quarter 2017

Revenue increased by $0.4 million, or 1.5%, to $24.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018, from $24.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017. This increase was driven primarily by growth in our management and advisory fees as a result of an increase in average management fees partially offset by a decrease in performance fees.  

Total expenses increased by $0.3 million, or 1.4%, to $19.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 from $19.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017. Compensation and benefits expense decreased by $0.3 million, or 2.0%, to $14.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 from $14.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the accrual for bonuses of $0.6 million, partially offset by an increase in salaries expense of $0.2 million primarily as a result of merit-based increases and newly hired staff. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.6 million, or 12.0%, to $5.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018 from $4.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in occupancy costs of $0.1 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 professional fees of $0.2 million, an increase in portfolio and systems expenses of $0.1 million due to an increase in accrued soft dollar-related research costs, an increase in the fair value of earnout payments related to the acquisition of Jamison Eaton & Wood, Inc. of $0.1 million and an increase in recruiting costs of $0.1 million related to newly hired staff, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization of $0.2 million.

Consolidated net income was $5.2 million or 21.1% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2018 as compared to $1.9 million or 7.8% of revenue for the same period in the prior year.  Net income attributable to Silvercrest was $2.9 million, or $0.35 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2018.   Our Adjusted Net Income1 was $5.3 million, or $0.40 per adjusted basic share and $0.39 per adjusted diluted share2 for the three months ended December 31, 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA1 was $8.6 million or 34.6% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2018 as compared to $7.6 million or 31.0% of revenue for the same period in the prior year.

Year Ended December 31, 2018 vs. Year Ended December 31, 2017

Revenue increased by $7.3 million, or 8.0%, to $98.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, from $91.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This increase was driven primarily by growth in our management and advisory fees as a result of an increase in average management fees partially offset by a decrease in performance fees.

Total expenses increased by $6.5 million, or 9.2%, to $77.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 from $71.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. Compensation and benefits expense increased by $3.8 million, or 7.0%, to $57.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 from $54.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the accrual for bonuses of $3.5 million and an increase in salaries expense of $0.3 million primarily as a result of merit-based increases and newly-hired staff. General and administrative expenses increased by $2.7 million, or 16.2%, to $19.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 from $16.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This increase was primarily due to an increase in occupancy and related costs of $1.3 million mainly due to an increase in rent expense associated with the extension of the lease for our office space in New York, and increase in recruiting costs of $0.4 million related to newly-hired staff, an increase in shareholder-related expenses of $0.1 million, an increase in the fair value of earnout payments related to the acquisition of Jamison of $0.1 million, an increase in professional fees of $0.3 million due to increased audit fees for services related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as increased legal fees, an increase in sub-advisory and referral fees of $0.1 million related to increased sub-advised revenue and an increase in portfolio and systems expenses of $0.7 million due to an increase in accrued soft dollar-related research costs.  This was partially offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization of $0.4 million.

Consolidated net income was $17.4 million or 17.6% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to $12.5 million or 13.7% of revenue for the same period in the prior year.  Net income attributable to Silvercrest was $9.6 million, or $1.16 per basic and diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2018.   Our Adjusted Net Income1 was $17.9 million, or $1.33 per adjusted basic share and $1.30 per adjusted diluted share2 for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA1 was $29.6 million or 30.0% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to $27.9 million or 30.5% of revenue for the same period in the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $69.3 million at December 31, 2018, compared to $53.8 million at December 31, 2017. Silvercrest L.P. had notes payable of $0 at December 31, 2018 and $0.7 million at December 31, 2017.  As of December 31, 2018, there was nothing outstanding on our revolving credit facility with City National Bank.  

Total Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc.’s equity was $56.0 million at December 31, 2018.  We had 8,518,096 shares of Class A common stock outstanding and 4,934,103 shares of Class B common stock outstanding at December 31, 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

3


 

 

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.
