TriState Capital Reports Fourth Quarter 2014 Financial Results

PITTSBURGH--()--TriState Capital Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSC) today reported very strong growth in net income and earnings per share for the fourth quarter and 12 months of 2014, driven by investment management fees increasing non-interest income to represent a third of the company’s revenue and 29% annual loan portfolio expansion, supported by 19% deposit growth over 2013.

Net income was $15.9 million, or $0.55 per share, in 2014 and $5.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter. Full year and fourth quarter earnings included an incremental contingent earnout accrual related to the acquisition of Chartwell Investment Partners, Inc., due to Chartwell’s 49% growth in profitability exceeding our original estimates.

Excluding the fourth quarter earnout accrual, full year net income grew 32.5% to $17.0 million in 2014 from $12.9 million in 2013. Even with more than 2 million additional average shares outstanding, earnings per share grew 22.9% to $0.59 in 2014, excluding the one-time accrual, from $0.48 in 2013.

Fourth quarter 2014 net income grew to $6.2 million, or $0.22 per share, excluding the earnout accrual. Net income was $5.7 million, or $0.20 per share, in the third quarter of 2014 and $4.8 million, or $0.17, in the fourth quarter of 2013.

“We’re very pleased to deliver a 23% increase in EPS in 2014 driven by 29% organic loan growth, 19% expansion in deposits and the addition of investment management fees provided by our high-performing Chartwell business,” Chief Executive Officer James F. Getz said. “In 2015, we intend to continue executing our growth strategy, with an emphasis on further leveraging our financial services distribution expertise for Chartwell’s benefit, expanding the lower-risk-profile portions of our loan portfolio, and maintaining our scalable business model and a balance sheet that is ready to take full advantage of a rising interest rate environment.”

FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2014 HIGHLIGHTS

  • EPS grew 10.0% from the previous quarter to $0.22 and 22.9% for the year to $0.59, excluding the earnout accrual
  • Total loans increased 17.9%, annualized, during the quarter and 29.0% for the year
  • Total deposits increased 16.4%, annualized, during the quarter and 19.1% for the year
  • Net interest income grew 7.8% during the quarter and 6.3% for the year
  • Non-interest income represented 33.5% of total revenue for the quarter and 31.6% for the year

TriState Capital’s net interest income (NII) grew to $17.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, from $16.2 million in the linked third quarter and $16.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. Growing interest income from the organic expansion of the bank’s loan portfolio was the primary driver of $429,000 of the fourth quarter 2014 NII increase, with the balance resulting from $762,000 in deferred-interest income earned from the full payoff of a previously non-performing loan during the quarter. Net interest margin was 2.61% in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to 2.50% in the linked quarter and 2.97% in the fourth quarter of 2013. Approximately 12 basis points of fourth quarter 2014 NIM was attributed to the full payoff of the previously mentioned non-performing loan. For the full year our NIM was 2.62% versus 2.92% for 2013.

TriState Capital recorded negative provision expense of $209,000 in the fourth quarter of 2014, primarily driven by an $800,000 specific reserve reversal resulting from the full payoff of the previously mentioned non-performing loan, as well as the bank’s overall asset quality. TriState Capital recorded provision expense in the linked and year-ago quarters of $651,000 and $473,000, respectively. Full year provision expense was $10.2 million, or 0.47% of average loans, in 2014, compared to $8.2 million, or 0.47%, in 2013. Provision expense as a percentage of loans in 2014 remained in line with TriState Capital’s historical averages, which ranged from 0.40% to 0.53% and averaged 0.46% from 2010 through 2013.

Fourth quarter 2014 non-interest income was $8.8 million, compared to $9.3 million in the linked quarter and $1.6 million in the year-ago quarter, as 3.5% growth in investment management revenue in the last three months of the year was offset by lower service, swap and other fees. Non-interest income, excluding net gains on sales of investment securities, represented 33.5% of total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to 36.4% in the linked quarter and 8.8% in the year-ago quarter.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, TriState Capital grew total revenue to $26.3 million, up 3.2% from $25.5 million in the linked quarter and up 46.7% from $18.0 million in the year-ago quarter.

Fourth quarter 2014 non-interest expenses were $19.4 million. Excluding the $1.6 million increase in the Chartwell earnout accrual, fourth quarter 2014 non-interest expenses were $17.8 million, or 2.51% of average assets on an annualized basis. This compares to $16.7 million, or 2.43%, in the linked quarter and $11.2 million, or 1.98%, in the year-ago period. Higher fourth quarter 2014 compensation and benefits expenses reflected improved financial performance compared to the third quarter. Non-interest expenses were higher than in the year-ago quarter, largely as a result of the March 2014 acquisition of Chartwell. The fourth quarter 2014 efficiency ratio, as adjusted, for the bank was 61.84%, compared to 59.68% in the linked quarter and 58.21% in the year-ago quarter.

Fourth quarter 2014 pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue was $7.0 million versus $8.9 million in the linked quarter and $6.7 million in the year-ago quarter. The decline from the linked quarter was primarily due to the increased Chartwell earnout accrual.

The company’s fourth quarter and full year 2014 effective tax rates of 29.1% and 30.4%, respectively, reflect the benefit of energy tax credits, bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) and tax-exempt income. The company anticipates a higher rate in 2015 as Chartwell provides a larger percentage of TriState Capital’s consolidated taxable income.

BALANCE SHEET GROWTH

Continued strong loan growth reflects the bank’s current focus on expanding private banking channel and commercial real estate (CRE) loans at a faster rate than its commercial and industrial (C&I) portfolio.

Loans totaled $2.40 billion at Dec. 31, 2014, increasing 4.5%, or 17.9% annualized, during the fourth quarter of 2014. Total loans grew 29.0% over the 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2014. Private banking channel loans totaled $989.3 million, growing 32.6%, annualized, from the end of the linked quarter and 73.8% from the end of the year-ago quarter. CRE loans totaled $733.3 million, growing 27.2%, annualized, from the end of the linked quarter and 32.7% from the end of the year-ago quarter. C&I loan balances were $677.5 million at Dec. 31, 2014, decreasing 10.7%, annualized, from the end of the linked quarter and decreasing 8.3% from one year prior.

Deposits grew by 16.4%, annualized, during the fourth quarter to $2.34 billion at Dec. 31, 2014, while deposit funding costs declined 2 basis points from the linked quarter. Compared to the year-ago quarter, deposits grew 19.1% at period end, while deposit funding costs declined 10 basis points.

TriState Capital remains very well positioned to profit from a rising interest-rate environment, and the bank continues to manage a highly asset-sensitive balance sheet. At Dec. 31, 2014, 83% of TriState Capital’s loans and 60% of its securities portfolio were floating rate. In addition, 36% of deposits were fixed-rate time deposits. The duration of the investment portfolio was 1.8 as of Dec. 31, 2014, which is meaningfully lower than peers.

ASSET QUALITY

Net charge offs to average loans, annualized, were 0.32% in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to 0.19% in the linked quarter and net recoveries of 0.05% in the year-ago quarter. Non-performing assets represented 1.11% of total assets at Dec. 31, 2014, compared to 1.03% at Sept. 30, 2014 and 0.95% at Dec. 31, 2013.

The company’s allowance for loan losses is a function of its growing portfolio of loans secured by marketable securities, which have lower provision based on their lower risk profile. The allowance for loan losses represented 0.84% of total loans at Dec. 31, 2014, compared to 0.97% at Sept. 30, 2014 and 1.02% at Dec. 31, 2013.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

Chartwell’s assets under management (AUM) were $7.7 billion at Dec. 31, 2014, compared to $7.6 billion at Sept. 30, 2014 and $7.5 billion at Dec. 31, 2013. Fourth quarter AUM growth reflects $155 million in new business and new flows from existing accounts, as well as market appreciation of $378 million, partially offset by outflows of $397 million. The weighted average fee rate for the fourth quarter was 0.37%, declining 1 basis point from the linked quarter.

Growth in Chartwell investment management fees, to $7.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 from $7.4 million in the third quarter of this year, reflect net inflows, including those into new funds launched in 2014 and strong product performance relative to benchmarks across disciplines. From the Chartwell acquisition closing on March 5 through Dec. 31, TriState Capital’s investment management fees totaled $25.1 million.

Under the terms of the Chartwell acquisition agreement, the former owners of Chartwell were eligible to earn additional consideration based upon the incremental EBITDA in 2014 versus 2013. In determining the estimated purchase price at closing in March, it was estimated that Chartwell would have a 44% increase in its EBITDA for 2014. Chartwell’s actual 2014 performance exceeded this estimate as the business delivered a 49% increase in EBITDA to more than $8.7 million, on an adjusted basis. This increase in EBITDA resulted in a one-time charge to fourth quarter pre-tax earnings of $1.6 million. The total earnout payment is expected to be $17.2 million. At the company’s option, up to 60% of this amount may be paid in TriState Capital common stock.

Including the contingent earnout, the Chartwell acquisition is valued at $61.5 million, or just 7.0 times the investment management subsidiary’s 2014 adjusted EBITDA.

CAPITAL STRENGTH

TriState Capital’s capital ratios continue to exceed the highest required regulatory benchmark levels. As of Dec. 31, 2014, TriState Capital Holding’s tier 1 leverage, tier 1 risk-based capital and total risk-based capital ratios were 9.21%, 9.24% and 11.02%, respectively. The company's ratio of tangible equity to tangible assets was 9.05% at Dec. 31, 2014.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

In October 2014, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10 million, or up to 1,000,000 shares, of the company’s common stock through Dec. 31, 2015. TriState Capital Holdings repurchased a total of 678,891 shares for approximately $6.7 million during the fourth quarter at an average cost of $9.94 per share.

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 purchase business 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 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 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.
