TriState Capital Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2015 Financial Results

PITTSBURGH--()--TriState Capital Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSC), parent company of TriState Capital Bank and Chartwell Investment Partners, LLC, reported record net income of $22.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, increasing 41.2% from $15.9 million in 2014. Diluted earnings per share increased 45.5% to $0.80 in 2015 from $0.55 in 2014. Adjusting for acquisition related expenses associated with The Killen Group (TKG) transaction announced last month, the company earned $0.81 per share in 2015. TriState Capital continued to expand its private banking, middle-market commercial banking and investment management businesses by profitably growing loans, deposits and total revenue, and further enhancing the financial services company’s revenue mix and asset quality.

For the fourth quarter of 2015, the company recorded net income of $5.6 million, increasing 9.7% from $5.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Fourth quarter 2015 earnings per share were $0.20, compared to $0.18 in the fourth quarter of 2014. Excluding acquisition related expenses, the company earned $0.21 per share in the fourth quarter of 2015.

TriState Capital’s business model delivered highly profitable growth across all business lines in 2015, increasing earnings per share by more than 45%, lending by 18%, net interest income by 3%, non-interest income by 13% and total revenue by 8%,” said Chief Executive Officer James F. Getz. “Since 2011, TriState Capital has achieved compound annual growth in earnings per share of 25%. This performance is a direct result of the disciplined execution of our distinctive growth strategy, which we intend to continue through the ongoing organic expansion of private banking, middle-market commercial banking and investment management, as well as opportunistic acquisitions that accelerate Chartwell Investment Partners’ growth.”

TriState Capital entered into a definitive agreement in December to acquire TKG. The investment manager is advisor to The Berwyn Funds, including the Berwyn Income Fund, a Morningstar five-star rated conservative allocation strategy that is tailored for the type of challenging environment that the capital markets have experienced in the initial weeks of 2016. The acquisition is expected to be immediately accretive and boost Chartwell annual investment management fees to nearly 40% of total revenue. The closing is anticipated in the second quarter of 2016.

FOURTH QUARTER 2015 HIGHLIGHTS

  • Total loans grew 6.8% during the quarter and 18.4% from one year prior
  • Private banking loans grew 12.1% during the quarter and 35.9% from one year prior
  • Deposits grew 3.4% during the quarter and 15.1% from one year prior
  • Non-performing assets (NPAs) declined to 0.56% of assets and adverse rated credits declined to 1.9% of loans at December 31
  • Total revenue grew 6.5% during the quarter, with non-interest income up 12.9% and net interest income (NII) up 3.4%
  • Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue grew 11.1% during the quarter
  • Chartwell investment management fees grew to $7.4 million, or 27.9% of total revenue, on higher net inflows from new and existing clients

Fourth quarter 2015 provision expense was $244,000, reflecting the significant growth of TriState Capital’s loan portfolio, consistent with the lower credit risk profile of private banking lending, which grew to represent 47.3% of loans at year-end. The company recorded credits to provision of $1.3 million in the linked third quarter and $209,000 in the fourth quarter of 2014.

TriState Capital’s loan growth continues to generate strong NII that outpaces margin compression. NII was $17.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $17.0 million in the linked quarter and $17.5 million in the year-ago period.

Fourth quarter 2015 non-interest income was $9.1 million, or 34.2% of total revenue, compared to $8.1 million in the linked quarter and $8.8 million in the year-ago period. TriState Capital non-interest income is largely comprised of Chartwell investment management fees, which were $7.4 million, or 27.9% of total revenue, in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $7.0 million in the linked quarter and $7.7 million in the year-ago quarter.

Higher NII and non-interest income increased total revenue to $26.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, up from $25.0 million in the linked quarter and $26.3 million in the year-ago quarter.

Non-interest expenses were $18.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, including $601,000 of non-recurring TKG-acquisition related costs, and $19.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, including $1.6 million of Chartwell-acquisition earnout expense. Excluding these acquisition related costs, non-interest expenses were $17.5 million, or 2.16% of average assets on an annualized basis in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $17.3 million, or 2.25%, in the linked quarter and $17.8 million, or 2.51%, in the prior-year quarter. The efficiency ratio for the bank was 62.14% in the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to 64.93% in the linked quarter and 60.47% in the year-ago quarter.

TriState Capital reported an effective tax rate of approximately 33% for 2015 and expects a rate of approximately 35% for 2016.

BALANCE SHEET GROWTH

Loans totaled $2.84 billion at December 31, 2015, increasing 6.8% from September 30 and 18.4% from December 31, 2014. Private banking loans totaled $1.34 billion, growing 12.1% from the end of the linked quarter and 35.9% from the end of the year-ago quarter. Commercial real estate (CRE) loans totaled $862.2 million, growing 3.7% from the end of the linked quarter and 17.6% from the end of the year-ago quarter. Commercial and industrial (C&I) loan balances were $634.2 million at December 31, 2015, increasing 0.7% from the end of the linked quarter and decreasing 6.4% from one year prior.

Private banking grew to represent 47.3% of total loans at December 31, 2015, CRE represented 30.3% of total loans and C&I represented 22.4% of total loans.

Deposits totaled $2.69 billion at December 31, 2015, increasing 3.4% from September 30 and 15.1% over balances at December 31, 2014. The bank extended time deposit maturities to 264 days at December 31, 2015 from 186 days 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 December 31, 2015, 85% of TriState Capital’s loan portfolio and 58% of its securities portfolio were floating rate. In addition, 35% of deposits were fixed-rate time deposits.

ASSET QUALITY

TriState Capital’s strong asset quality metrics continued to reflect the bank’s strategic shift toward lower-risk-profile lending, particularly margin loans secured by marketable securities, which represented approximately 88% of private banking loans and 42% of total loans at December 31, 2015.

NPAs declined by $2.5 million, or 11.9%, to $18.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2015. NPAs represented 0.56% of total assets at December 31, 2015, improving from 0.67% at September 30 and 1.11% at December 31, 2014. TriState Capital reduced NPAs as a percentage of total assets by 34 basis points from 0.90% at December 31, 2011, even as the company has grown assets by 80.1% over the same period.

Adverse-rated credits declined 1.5% during the fourth quarter and 19.8% from December 31, 2014. Adverse-rated credits represented 1.9% of total loans at the end of the fourth quarter of 2015, 2.1% at September 30 and 2.8% at December 31, 2014. TriState Capital reduced adverse-rated credits as a percentage of total loans by 250 basis points from 4.4% at December 31, 2011, even as the company has grown loans by 101.9% over the same period.

TriState Capital experienced net charge-offs on loans totaling $1.6 million, or 0.23% of average total loans, in the current quarter compared to $716,000, or 0.11%, in the linked quarter and $1.9 million, or 0.32%, in the year-ago quarter. Net charge-offs for the full year were $2.3 million in 2015, compared to $8.9 million in the prior year.

The company’s allowance for loan losses declined to 0.63% of total loans at December 31, 2015, from 0.73% at September 30 and 0.84% at December 31, 2014. This reflects the reduction in NPAs and the lower provision required for private banking margin loans.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

Chartwell’s assets under management (AUM) were $8.0 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $7.6 billion at the end of the linked quarter and $7.7 billion at December 31, 2014. Fourth quarter 2015 AUM growth reflects $323 million in new business and new flows from existing accounts, as well as $131 million of market appreciation, which more than offset outflows of $74 million. Chartwell’s weighted average fee rate was 0.37% for each of the third and fourth quarters of 2015.

Chartwell's net income grew to $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, comprising 20% of TriState Capital Holdings’ consolidated earnings, or 25% when excluding acquisition related expenses. Full-year Chartwell net income was $4.4 million in 2015, comprising 19% of consolidated earnings, or 20% when excluding acquisition related expenses.

On December 16, 2015, TriState Capital announced that it entered into a definitive asset-purchase agreement to acquire TKG, which recorded investment management fees of $12.6 million on an annual-run-rate basis at an average weighted rate of 0.55%, as of December 31, 2015, as well as period-end AUM of $2.3 billion. TKG is investment advisor to The Berwyn Funds, including the Berwyn Income Fund, a Morningstar five-star rated conservative allocation strategy with a net asset value of $1.7 billion at December 31, 2015. Closing is anticipated in the second quarter of 2016, subject to regulatory requirements, approval by shareholders of The Berwyn Funds, certain TKG-client consents, and other customary closing conditions and adjustments. TriState Capital plans to integrate TKG’s personnel and operations into Chartwell, while maintaining The Berwyn Funds brand.

CAPITAL STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY

TriState Capital’s earnings in the quarter continued to support superior loan growth in the period, while the company maintained capital ratios that exceed the highest required regulatory benchmark levels. As of December 31, 2015, TriState Capital Holdings reported ratios of 13.88% for total risk-based capital, 12.20% for tier 1 risk-based capital, 12.20% for common equity tier 1 risk-based capital and 9.05% 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 business purchase combination.

“Total revenue” is defined as net interest income and non-interest income, excluding gains and losses on sales 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 net gain (loss) on 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, excluding non-recurring acquisition related expenses 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.
