TriState Capital Reports Third Quarter 2015 Financial Results

PITTSBURGH--()--TriState Capital Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSC) reported higher net income and earnings per share, significant loan growth and strong improvement in credit metrics in the third quarter 2015.

Net income for the parent company of TriState Capital Bank and Chartwell Investment Partners was $6.1 million in the third quarter of 2015, increasing from $5.7 million in the second quarter and $5.7 million in the third quarter of 2014. Net income per diluted share was $0.22 in the third quarter of 2015, increasing from $0.20 in the second quarter and $0.20 in the third quarter of 2014.

We are extremely pleased with the results we’ve posted, and more importantly, with the underlying trends that produced superior performance once again for TriState Capital,” said Chief Executive Officer James F. Getz. “Our strategy is being executed on all fronts. The exceptional growth of our lower-risk-profile private banking channel lending business, coupled with the strong contributions of our middle-market commercial banking and investment management businesses, enabled us to continue very positive momentum through the first nine months of 2015. The third quarter also illustrated TriState Capital's ability to acquire, retain and grow client relationships in a range of economic, interest rate and capital markets environments, thanks to our sales-driven culture and financial services distribution model.”

THIRD QUARTER 2015 HIGHLIGHTS

  • Pre-tax and net income increased to $9.1 million and $6.1 million, respectively
  • Total loans grew 4.2%, or 16.6% annualized, during the quarter and 15.9% from one year prior
  • Private banking channel loans grew 7.7%, or 30.5% annualized, during the quarter and 31.3% from one year prior

TriState Capital recorded a credit to provision expenses of $1.3 million and $231,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. The third quarter credit provision was driven by a $1.1 million reserve reversal from payoffs on two substandard-rated credits and a $433,000 recovery on one loan previously charged-off. Provision expenses were $185,000 and $651,000 for the second quarter of 2015 and the third quarter of 2014, respectively.

TriState Capital’s loan growth continues to generate strong net interest income (NII) that continues to outpace margin compression. NII was $17.0 million in the third quarter of 2015, increasing 2.0% from $16.6 million in the second quarter and 4.4% from $16.2 million in the third quarter of 2014.

Investment management fees of $7.0 million reflected Chartwell’s net growth in new business and inflows in the third quarter of 2015, offset by general declines in U.S. equity markets for the three months ended September 30. Chartwell investment management fees were $7.5 million in the linked quarter and $7.4 million in the year-ago quarter.

Other non-interest income was $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2015, reflecting lower activity levels for swaps in the period, compared to $2.1 million in the linked quarter and $1.9 million in the year-ago quarter. Total non-interest income was $8.1 million, or 32.2% of total revenue, in the third quarter of 2015, compared to $9.6 million in the linked quarter and $9.3 million in the year-ago period.

Total revenue was $25.0 million in the third quarter of 2015, reflecting lower investment management fees and other non-interest income in the period, compared to $26.2 million in the linked quarter and $25.5 million in the year-ago quarter.

Third quarter 2015 non-interest expenses were $17.3 million, or 2.25% of average assets on an annualized basis, compared to $17.6 million, or 2.39%, in the linked quarter and $16.7 million, or 2.43%, in the prior year quarter. The efficiency ratio for the bank was 64.93% in the third quarter of 2015, compared to 60.78% in the linked quarter and 58.34% in the year-ago quarter as a result of lower total revenue in the current quarter.

BALANCE SHEET GROWTH

Loans totaled $2.66 billion at September 30, 2015, increasing 4.2%, or 16.6% annualized, from June 30. Total loans grew 15.9% over balances at September 30, 2014. Private banking channel loans totaled $1.20 billion, growing 7.7% from the end of the linked quarter and 31.3% from the end of the year-ago quarter. Commercial real estate (CRE) loans totaled $831.2 million, growing 2.8% from the end of the linked quarter and 21.1% from the end of the year-ago quarter. Commercial and industrial (C&I) loan balances were $630.1 million at September 30, 2015, decreasing 0.2% from the end of the linked quarter and 9.5% from one year prior.

Deposits grew by 2.0% during the third quarter to $2.60 billion at September 30, 2015, while deposit funding costs remained flat from the linked quarter. Compared to the year-ago quarter, deposits grew 15.9% at period end, while deposit funding costs increased 2 basis points. The bank continues to grow deposits and has extended time deposit maturities to 299 days at September 30, 2015 from 213 one year prior.

TriState Capital remains very well positioned to profit from a rising interest-rate environment as the bank continues to manage a highly asset-sensitive balance sheet. At September 30, 2015, 84% of TriState Capital’s loan portfolio and 58% of its securities portfolio were floating rate. In addition, 36% of deposits were fixed-rate time deposits.

ASSET QUALITY

TriState Capital’s strong asset quality metrics in the third quarter of 2015 reflected the bank’s strategic shift toward lower-risk-profile earning loans, particularly private banking channel margin lending, as well as the payoffs of two substandard-rated credits and a recovery on one loan previously charged-off.

The company’s allowance for loan losses reflects its growing portfolio of private banking channel margin loans secured by marketable securities, which require lower provision based on their lower risk profile, as well as a decrease in non-performing loans. The allowance for loan losses represented 0.73% of total loans at September 30, 2015, compared to 0.84% at June 30, 2015 and 0.97% at September 30, 2014.

TriState Capital experienced net charge-offs on loans totaling $716,000, or 0.11% of average total loans, in the current quarter and net recoveries of $17,000 in the linked quarter. Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2014 were $1.1 million, or 0.19% of average total loans. Non-performing assets (NPAs) declined by $5.9 million, or 21.9%, to $20.9 million during the third quarter of 2015. NPAs represented 0.67% of total assets at September 30, 2015, improving from 0.89% at June 30, 2015 and 1.03% at September 30, 2014.

Adverse-rated credits declined 2.2% during the third quarter and 22.4% from September 30, 2014. Adverse-rated credits represented 2.1% of total loans at the end of the third quarter of 2015, 2.2% at June 30, 2015 and 3.1% at September 30, 2014.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

In spite of U.S. equity market volatility in the third quarter, net inflows reflect Chartwell's continued strong performance relative to benchmarks across disciplines, as well as the productivity of the boutique investment manager's business development efforts. Third quarter assets under management (AUM) reflects $258 million in new business and new flows from existing accounts, offset by outflows of $197 million and market depreciation of $560 million. Chartwell’s AUM were $7.6 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2015, compared to $8.1 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2015 and $7.6 billion at September 30, 2014.

Chartwell net income grew to $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2015, increasing 4.3% from the linked quarter and 15.5% from the year-ago quarter. Chartwell profitability remained strong, comprising 18% of TriState Capital Holdings’ consolidated net income, as the lower investment management fees associated with recent equity market volatility were offset by lower incentive compensation expense in the third quarter of 2015.

The weighted average fee rate was 0.37% for each of the second and third quarters of 2015. Chartwell investment management fees were $7.0 million in the third quarter of 2015, compared to $7.5 million in the linked quarter and $7.4 million in the year-ago quarter.

CAPITAL STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY

TriState Capital’s earnings in the quarter funded superior loan growth in the period, while the company maintained capital ratios that exceed the highest required regulatory benchmark levels. As of September 30, 2015, TriState Capital Holdings reported ratios of 13.99% for total risk-based capital, 12.22% for tier 1 risk-based capital, 12.22% for common equity tier 1 risk-based capital and 9.30% for tier 1 leverage.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The information set forth above contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are “tangible equity,” “tangible equity to tangible assets,” “tangible book value per common share,” “total revenue,” “pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue,” and “efficiency ratio.” Although we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of our business, these measures are not necessarily comparable to similar measures that may be presented by other companies.

“Tangible equity” is defined as shareholders' equity reduced by intangible assets, including goodwill, if any. We believe this measure is important to management and investors to better understand and assess changes from period to period in shareholders' equity exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Goodwill, an intangible asset that is recorded in a business purchase combination, has the effect of increasing both equity and assets, while not increasing our tangible equity or tangible assets.

“Tangible equity to tangible assets” is defined as the ratio of shareholders' equity reduced by intangible assets, divided by total assets reduced by intangible assets. We believe this measure is important to many investors who are interested in relative changes from period to period in equity and total assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

“Tangible book value per common share” is defined as book value, excluding the impact of goodwill, if any, divided by common shares outstanding. We believe this measure is important to many investors who are interested in changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Goodwill is an intangible asset that is recorded in a purchase business combination.

“Total revenue” is defined as net interest income and non-interest income, excluding gains and losses on the sale of investment securities available-for-sale. We believe adjustments made to our operating revenue allow management and investors to better assess our operating revenue by removing the volatility that is associated with certain other items that are unrelated to our core business.

“Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue” is defined as net income, without giving effect to loan loss provision and income taxes, and excluding gains and losses on the sale of investment securities available-for-sale. We believe this measure is important because it allows management and investors to better assess our performance in relation to our core operating revenue, excluding the volatility that is associated with provision for loan losses or other items that are unrelated to our core business.

“Efficiency ratio” is defined as non-interest expense divided by our total revenue. “Efficiency ratio, as adjusted” is defined as non-interest expense, excluding non-recurring expenses associated with the Chartwell acquisition and intangible amortization expense, where applicable, divided by our total revenue. We believe this measure, particularly at the Bank, allows management and investors to better assess our operating expenses in relation to our core operating revenue by removing the volatility that is associated with certain one-time items and other discrete items that are unrelated to our core business.
