Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc. Reports Q3 2019 Results

New York, NY – October 31, 2019 - Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SAMG) (the "Company" or "Silvercrest") today reported the results of its operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.

Business Update

Silvercrest’s results for the third quarter of 2019 reflect a full quarter of the successful integration of our new small cap growth equity strategies and professionals based in Milwaukee. As we expected, the transaction contributed meaningfully to accretively grow Silvercrest’s cash flow, margins, and earnings per share. Since the second quarter, the firm’s Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share1 have increased to $0.38 per Adjusted Diluted Share for the third quarter. Silvercrest’s Adjusted EBITDA1 rose to $8.9 million and Silvercrest’s Adjusted EBITDA margin1 has increased to 32.1%, both for the third quarter of 2019.

Total assets under management at Silvercrest now stand at $23.5 billion as of September 30, 2019, with associated revenue of $27.8 million for the quarter. Institutional assets under management now comprise nearly 30% of the firm’s discretionary assets under management. While the firm did experience outflows primarily due to rebalancing, the firm established new high net worth relationships and 2019 looks to be a good year overall for business development and continued organic growth, a trend we are proud of compared with many peers.

Last quarter we announced that we expected near-term success for the firm’s Outsourced Chief Investment Officer (OCIO) initiative. I am pleased to announce that we have won our first few OCIO clients during the third quarter, representing a diversity of institutions. The remainder of 2019 and 2020 remain important for organic growth in the OCIO effort, and I am pleased to report that the marketing opportunities for that business remain strong.

Following a slowdown for institutional business opportunity in the latter part of 2018, we now have a robust institutional asset management pipeline with substantial institutional interest across Silvercrest's equity strategies.

Both our asset management and OCIO growth initiatives buttress Silvercrest’s value proposition to deliver excellent institutional-quality capabilities to our wealth management families and investors, placing Silvercrest at the forefront of the competitive landscape.

We will continue to invest in high net worth portfolio management professionals to support the organic growth of that business and to diversify talent. As we have discussed previously, the current M&A environment for wealth management firms remains both active and expensive. Silvercrest, however, is involved in multiple conversations at any given time. We believe our brand, culture, capabilities and technological innovation make Silvercrest a premier partner for select businesses and professionals. Regardless of the environment, Silvercrest will opportunistically seek to effectively deploy capital to complement our organic growth.

On October 28, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share of Class A common stock.  The dividend will be paid on or about December 20, 2019 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 13, 2019.

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

Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are based on the number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2019.  Adjusted diluted earnings per share are further based on the addition of unvested restricted stock units, and non-qualified stock options to the extent dilutive at the end of the reporting period.

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 $23.5 billion

Silvercrest’s discretionary assets under management increased by $0.9 billion, or 5.4%, to $17.5 billion at September 30, 2019 from $16.6 billion at September 30, 2018.  The increase was attributable to net client inflows of $1.1 billion partially offset by market depreciation of $0.2 billion.  Silvercrest’s total AUM increased by $1.8 billion, or 8.3%, to $23.5 billion at September 30, 2019 from $21.7 billion at September 30, 2018.  The increase was attributable to net client inflows of $1.2 billion in addition to market appreciation of $0.6 billion.

Silvercrest’s discretionary assets under management increased by $1.5 billion, or 9.4%, to $17.5 billion at September 30, 2019 from $16.0 billion at June 30, 2019.  The increase was attributable to net client inflows of $1.5 billion.  Silvercrest’s total AUM increased by $1.8 billion, or 8.3%, to $23.5 billion at September 30, 2019 from $21.7 billion at June 30, 2019.  The increase was attributable to net client inflows of $1.5 billion and market appreciation of $0.3 billion.

On July 1, 2019, Silvercrest acquired $1.7 billion of assets under management in connection with the acquisition of certain assets of Cortina Asset Management, LLC (“Cortina”), which is included in net client inflows.

Third Quarter 2019 vs. Third Quarter 2018

Revenue increased by $2.9 million, or 11.7%, to $27.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, from $24.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was driven by net client inflows in discretionary assets under management, including $1.7 billion of assets under management in connection with the acquisition of certain assets of Cortina (the “Cortina Acquisition”), partially offset by net client outflows during the three months ended September 30, 2019.  Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019 related to the Cortina Acquisition was approximately $3.2 million.  

Total expenses increased by $1.8 million, or 9.0%, to $21.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $19.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Compensation and benefits expense increased by $0.2 million, or 1.0%, to $15.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $14.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in salaries and benefits expense of $0.8 million primarily as a result of merit-based increases and newly hired staff, including the addition of Cortina staff, partially offset by a decrease in the accrual for bonuses of $0.3 million and a decrease in equity based compensation expense of $0.3 million due to a decrease in the number of unvested restricted stock units and unvested non-qualified stock options outstanding. General and administrative expenses increased by $1.6 million, or 33.8%, to $6.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in professional fees of $1.0 million due to an increase in acquisition-

related legal fees resulting from the Cortina Acquisition, an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $0.4 million related mainly to the amortization of intangible assets related to the Cortina Acquisition and to the renovation of our office space in New York City, an increase in occupancy and related expenses of $0.1 million and an increase in insurance costs of $0.1 million.

Consolidated net income was $4.8 million or 17.3% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to $3.9 million or 15.6% of revenue for the same period in the prior year.  Net income attributable to Silvercrest was $2.7 million, or $0.30 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2019.   Our Adjusted Net Income1 was $5.4 million, or $0.38 per adjusted basic and diluted share2 for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

This increase was driven by net client inflows in discretionary assets under management, including $1.7 billion of assets under management in connection with the acquisition of certain assets of Cortina, and market appreciation, partially offset by net client outflows.  Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to the Cortina Acquisition was approximately $3.2 million.

The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the accrual for bonuses of $2.7 million and a decrease in equity based compensation expense of $0.3 million due to a decrease in the number of unvested restricted stock units and unvested non-qualified stock options outstanding, partially offset by an increase in salaries and benefits expense of $1.7 million primarily as a result of merit-based increases and newly hired staff, including the addition of Cortina staff.

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%.  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 restricted stock units and non-qualified stock options 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.
