Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc. Reports Q4 and Year-end 2019 Results

NEW YORK, March 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc. SAMG (the "Company" or "Silvercrest") today reported the results of its operations for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019.

Business Update

Total assets under management at Silvercrest grew to $25.1 billion as of December 31, 2019, of which $18.8 billion comprised the firm's discretionary assets under management. This represents new AUM highs for the firm, driven by the firm's largest acquisition to date, strong equity markets, and new client accounts. These results culminated in a recovery of the business from the market lows of the fourth quarter of 2018.

We experienced good new account growth during Q4 and 2019. We had announced our expectation for near-term success of Silvercrest's Outsourced Chief Investment Officer (OCIO) initiative during the latter half of 2019. We won our first OCIO clients during the third quarter of 2019. That strength continued into Q4 2019, during which the OCIO business doubled to $300 million in AUM and drove half of Silvercrest's new client account growth during the quarter. We are proud of Silvercrest's internally built OCIO capability and of growing that business from scratch. Our team and performance track record are strong, our new business pipeline is growing, and we expect continued success in the OCIO business during 2020.

Silvercrest has a proven ability to continue attracting net positive asset flows into its high-quality equity capabilities, despite the industry-wide trend toward passive investment vehicles. Silvercrest now has $6.0 billion in total institutional asset management AUM. Each of Silvercrest's equity strategies show strong 3- and 5-year track records, vital for attracting new institutional business. We now have fully integrated our institutional marketing teams and are excited to bring our small cap growth capabilities to market.

Silvercrest has recently invested in new high net worth portfolio management professionals to support organic growth of that business and to diversify the firm's talent. Silvercrest has a track record of growing new talent and will continue to do so. The current M&A environment for wealth management firms remains active and expensive. 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.

1             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 three and twelve months ended December 31, 2019 are based on the number of 

           shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding as of December 31, 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.

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 $25.1 billion

Silvercrest's discretionary assets under management increased by $4.6 billion, or 32.4%, to $18.8 billion at December 31, 2019 from $14.2 billion at December 31, 2018.  The increase was attributable to net client inflows of $1.7 billion in addition to market appreciation of $2.9 billion.  Silvercrest's total AUM increased by $6.1 billion, or 32.1%, to $25.1 billion at December 31, 2019 from $19.0 billion at December 31, 2018.  The increase was attributable to net client inflows of $1.9 billion in addition to market appreciation of $4.2 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" and the "Cortina Acquisition"), which is included in net client inflows.

Fourth Quarter 2019 vs. Fourth Quarter 2018

Revenue increased by $3.0 million, or 12.1%, to $27.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, from $24.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018. This increase was driven primarily by the acquisition of Cortina in July 2019.  Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2019 related to the Cortina Acquisition was approximately $3.1 million

Total expenses increased by $4.1 million, or 20.9%, to $23.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 from $19.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018. Compensation and benefits expense increased by $3.4 million, or 23.9%, to $17.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 from $14.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in salaries and benefits expense of $0.6 million primarily as a result of merit-based increases and newly hired staff, including the addition of Cortina staff and an increase in the accrual for bonuses of $3.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in equity based compensation expense of $0.7 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 $0.8 million, or 14.8%, to $6.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 from $5.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $0.4 million primarily related 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 $0.2 million, an increase in legal and other professional fees of $0.1 million related to the Cortina Acquisition, 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 travel and entertainment costs of $0.1 million, an increase in the fair value of earnout payments related to the acquisition of Jamison Eaton & Wood, Inc. ("Jamison") of $0.2 million and an increase in the fair value of earnout payments related to the acquisition of Cortina of $0.2 million.  This was partially offset by a decrease in the fair value of earnout payments related to the acquisition of Neosho Capital, LLC ("Neosho") of $0.3 million and a decrease in the fair value of earnout payments related to the acquisition of Cappiccille & Company, LLC ("Cappiccille") of $0.1 million.

Consolidated net income was $4.2 million or 15.1% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $5.2 million or 21.1% of revenue for the same period in the prior year.  Net income attributable to Silvercrest was $2.4 million, or $0.26 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2019.   Our Adjusted Net Income1 was $4.5 million, or $0.31 per adjusted basic and diluted share2 for the three months ended December 31, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA1 was $7.3 million or 26.3% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $8.6 million or 34.6% of revenue for the same period in the prior year.

Year Ended December 31, 2019 vs. Year Ended December 31, 2018

Revenue increased by $3.5 million, or 3.5%, to $102.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, from $98.7 million for the year ended December 31, 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, and an increase in family office services.

Total expenses increased by approximately $5.8 million, or 7.4%, to $83.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $77.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Compensation and benefits expense increased by $2.1 million, or 3.6%, to $60.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $57.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in salaries and benefits expenses of $2.5 million primarily as a result of merit-based increases and newly-hired staff, including the addition of Cortina staff and an increase in the accrual for bonuses of $0.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in equity based compensation expense of $1.0 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 $3.6 million, or 18.7%, to $23.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $19.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This increase was primarily due to an increase in occupancy and related costs of $0.7 million mainly due to an increase in rent expense associated with the extension of the lease for our office space in New York City, an increase in the fair value of earnout payments related to the acquisition of Jamison of $0.2 million, an increase in the fair value of earnout payments related to the acquisition of Cortina of $0.2 million, an increase in professional fees of $1.3 million due to an increase in acquisition-related legal fees, an increase in portfolio and systems expenses of $0.5 million due to an increase in accrued soft dollar-related research costs, an increase in depreciation and amortization of $0.8 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 moving and storage costs of $0.4 million related to the renovations of our office space in New York City, an increase in travel and entertainment related expense of $0.4 million and an increase in office expense of $0.1 million.  This was partially offset by a decrease in recruiting costs of $0.4 million, a decrease in the fair value of earnout payments related to the acquisition of Neosho of $0.3 million, a decrease in the fair value of earnout payments related to the acquisition of Cappiccille of $0.1 million and a decrease in sub-advisory and referral fees of $0.1 million.

Adjusted EBITDA1 was $28.6 million or 28.0% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $29.6 million or 30.0% of revenue for the same period in the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $52.8 million at December 31, 2019, compared to $69.3 million at December 31, 2018.  As of December 31, 2019, there was $16.2 million outstanding under our term loan with City National Bank, and nothing outstanding on our revolving credit facility with City National Bank. 

Total Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc.'s equity was $65.0 million at December 31, 2019.  We had 9,329,879 shares of Class A common stock outstanding and 5,031,017 shares of Class B common stock outstanding at December 31, 2019.

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.
