RECORD NET INTEREST INCOME

TriState Capital’s record fourth quarter 2018 NII of $29.5 million increased 19.1% from $24.8 million in the year-ago quarter and 2.5% from $28.8 million in the linked quarter, as the company continued to expand its deposit franchise to fund organic loan growth at double-digit annual rates, while reducing balance sheet risk via the continued growth in private banking loans backed by marketable securities.

Fourth quarter 2018 non-interest income totaled $11.6 million and represented 28.3% of total revenue for the period, reflecting a modest quarterly decline in Chartwell investment management fees, after positive net inflows of client assets last year were offset by market depreciation. In the fourth quarter of 2017 and third quarter of 2018 non-interest income totaled $12.1 million and $12.8 million, respectively. Fees from borrower-facing interest rate swap activity grew to $2.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2018, increasing 36.5% from the year-ago quarter and 19.4% from the linked quarter.

NII and non-interest income, excluding gains and losses on the sale of securities, combined to generate total revenue of $41.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $36.9 million in the year-ago period and $41.6 million in the linked quarter. Full year 2018 total revenue of $161.4 million increased 16.9% from $138.0 million in 2017.

OPERATING LEVERAGE

TriState Capital Bank’s efficiency ratio for the fourth quarter of 2018 was 54.60%, compared to 61.42% in the year-ago quarter and 52.86% in the linked quarter. The bank’s full-year efficiency ratio improved to 53.09% in 2018, from 57.39% in 2017, as investments made in talent and building scale continue to drive revenue growth while building incremental operating leverage.

Non-interest expense totaled $26.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, $25.7 million in the year-ago quarter and $25.7 million in the linked quarter. For the full year, non-interest expense totaled $101.2 million, increasing by 10.6% from 2017.

Fourth quarter 2018 non-interest expenses were reduced by a $218,000 adjustment in the fair value of previously accrued contingent consideration associated with last year’s acquisition of client assets under management from Columbia Partners, L.L.C.

TriState Capital’s 2018 effective tax rate was 9.8%, reflecting the favorable impact of tax credit investments and prudent tax expense management strategies. For 2019, the company currently expects an effective tax rate ranging in the mid to high teens. The company’s effective tax rate will vary according to certain factors including the number, timing and size of tax credit investments, as well as the proportion of consolidated earnings attributed to investment management, which has a higher effective tax rate than the bank.

Fourth quarter 2018 net income available to common shareholders, as well as EPS, reflected $679,000 of quarterly cash dividends payable on the company’s Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock.

ORGANIC LOAN GROWTH

TriState Capital continued to deliver strong organic growth on both sides of its balance sheet, expanding the number and depth of its relationships with middle-market commercial customers, as well as the high-net-worth clients the bank serves through registered investment advisors and other financial intermediaries in its national referral network.

Average loans totaled a record $4.85 billion in the fourth quarter of 2018, growing 21.8% from $3.98 billion in the year- ago quarter and 5.6% from $4.59 billion in the linked quarter. Loans at December 31, 2018 totaled $5.13 billion, growing $948.6 million, or 22.7%, from one year prior and $374.5 million, or 7.9%, from September 30, 2018.

TriState Capital’s growing distribution helped drive record new loan originations for the fourth quarter of 2018 in its national private banking business. Private banking loans grew to $2.87 billion at December 31, 2018, up $603.8 million, or 26.6%, from one year prior and $241.8 million, or 9.2%, from September 30, 2018.

The company grew relationships with middle-market borrowers in the fourth quarter of 2018 to drive record originations of commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans. Total commercial loans grew to $2.26 billion at December 31, 2018, increasing by $344.8 million, or 18.0%, from one year prior and $132.7 million, or 6.2%, from September 30, 2018.

STRATEGIC DEPOSIT FRANCHISE EXPANSION

TriState Capital continues to support demand for its private banking and commercial loans with the strategic and organic expansion of its deposit franchise. The bank’s national deposit, treasury management and liquidity management offerings are increasing the number and depth of depositor relationships with financial services businesses, high-net-worth individuals, family offices, middle market companies, municipalities, and non-profits.

Deposits at December 31, 2018 totaled $5.05 billion, growing by $1.06 billion, or 26.7%, from one year prior and $295.9 million, or 6.2%, from September 30, 2018. Average deposits totaled $4.80 billion in the fourth quarter of 2018, growing 25.5% from $3.82 billion in the same period last year and 4.9% from $4.57 billion in the linked quarter.

INTEREST RATE MANAGEMENT

TriState Capital continues to manage an asset-sensitive balance sheet, while maintaining significant flexibility to manage interest rate risk in changing markets. At December 31, 2018, 92% of the company’s loan portfolio was floating rate and 24% of deposits were fixed-rate certificates of deposit.

The yield on total loans averaged 4.35% in the fourth quarter of 2018, expanding 80 basis points from 3.55% in the fourth quarter of 2017 and 16 basis points from 4.19% in the third quarter of 2018.

Total cost of funds for all deposits and interest-bearing liabilities averaged 2.19% during the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to 1.26% in the fourth quarter of 2017 and 1.94% in the linked third quarter. The cost of total deposits averaged 2.17% for the three months ended December 31, 2018, compared to 1.21% for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 1.92% in the third quarter of 2018.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

Chartwell total assets under management (AUM) were $9.19 billion at December 31, 2018, compared to $8.31 billion one year prior and $9.87 billion at September 30, 2018. Chartwell reported new business and new flows from existing accounts of $372 million, which more than offset outflows of $347 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. AUM at the end of the fourth quarter of 2018 also reflected market depreciation of $701 million in the period. Fixed income represented 58% of client AUM at the end of the fourth quarter of 2018, with the balance in equity strategies.

Chartwell’s weighted average fee rate was 0.39% at December 31, 2018. Investment management fee revenue totaled $9.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $9.4 million in the year-ago quarter and $9.8 million in the linked quarter.

ASSET QUALITY

TriState Capital maintained strong asset quality metrics in the fourth quarter of 2018, reflecting the company’s disciplined credit culture and expansion of its private banking non-purpose margin loans secured by marketable securities. Private banking grew to represent 55.9% of total loans at December 31, 2018, while commercial real estate and commercial and industrial comprised 28.8% and 15.3% of total loans, respectively.

Non-performing assets (NPAs) totaled $5.7 million at December 31, 2018, declining 16.2% from $6.8 million at December 31, 2017 and 3.1% from $5.8 million at September 30, 2018. NPAs made up 0.09% of total assets at year-end, declining by 5 basis points during 2018 and 1 basis point during the fourth quarter.

Non-performing loans (NPLs) totaled $2.2 million at December 31, 2018, declining 29.7% from $3.2 million at December 31, 2017 and 1.4% from $2.3 million at September 30, 2018. NPLs made up 0.04% of total loans at year-end, declining by 4 basis points during 2018 and 1 basis point during the fourth quarter.

Adverse-rated credits declined 17.2% from December 31, 2017, and 12.2% during the fourth quarter of 2018. Adverse-rated credits represented 0.48% of total loans at the end of the fourth quarter of 2018, 0.71% at December 31, 2017 and 0.59% at September 30, 2018.

The company recorded net recoveries of $206,000 in the fourth quarter of 2018 and $103,000 in the year-ago quarter. Net charge-offs were $1.5 million, or 0.13% of average total loans, in the third quarter of 2018.

TriState Capital recorded a credit to provision of $581,000 for the fourth quarter of 2018, $1.7 million for the year-ago quarter and $234,000 for the third quarter of 2018. These credits to provision reflect net recoveries as well as declining non-performing loans and adverse rated credits.

The company’s allowance for loan losses (ALL) continued to reflect declining NPLs and lower levels of provision required by the low risk profile of the growing proportion of private banking loans in the bank’s portfolio. ALL represented 0.26% of total loans at December 31, 2018, 0.34% at December 31, 2017 and 0.29% at September 30, 2018.

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 common equity,” “tangible book value per common share,” “EBITDA,” “total 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 common equity” is defined as common shareholders’ equity reduced by intangible assets, including goodwill. We believe this measure is important to management and investors to better understand and assess changes from period to period in common shareholders’ equity exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Intangible assets are created when we buy businesses which add relationships and revenue to our Company. Intangible assets have the effect of increasing both equity and assets, while not increasing our tangible equity or tangible assets.

“Tangible book value per common share” is defined common shareholders’ equity reduced by intangible assets, including goodwill, 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 common share exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

“EBITDA” is defined as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses. We use EBITDA particularly to assess the strength of our investment management business. We believe this measure is important because it allows management and investors to better assess our investment management performance in relation to our core operating earnings, excluding certain non-cash items and the volatility that is associated with certain discrete items that are unrelated to our core business.

“Total revenue” is defined as net interest income and non-interest income, excluding gains and losses on the sale and call of debt securities. 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 items that are unrelated to our core business.

“Efficiency ratio” is defined as non-interest expense 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 that are unrelated to our core business.
