-- Organic growth of commercial loans, private banking loans primarily backed by marketable securities, and liquidity management franchise continues, while Chartwell delivered strong fixed income and equity performance over benchmarks and celebrates the 25th anniversary of its founding --

TriState Capital Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: TSC) reported first quarter 2022 financial results, including record net interest income, organic loan and balance sheet growth and its sixth consecutive quarter of net interest margin (NIM) expansion.

The parent company of TriState Capital Bank and Chartwell Investment Partners reported net income available to common shareholders of $18.5 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $13.1 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2021 and $19.9 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Fetterolf said. “The company’s success and strength are entirely made possible by phenomenal clients and the exceptional talent we have been able to attract and develop together as one team. As we continue to work toward completing our transaction with Raymond James, we are incredibly proud of how our team members have kept their focus on delivering best-in-class client experience and business excellence at scale.”

NII reflected continued organic loan growth and TriState Capital’s sixth consecutive quarter of NIM expansion to 1.70% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, up from 1.59% in the first quarter of 2021 and 1.68% in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Non-interest income was $15.1 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $13.7 million in the year-ago quarter and $15.9 million in the linked quarter. Chartwell investment management fees were $9.1 million in the first quarter of 2022, compared to $9.0 million in the same period the prior year and $9.6 million in the linked quarter.

Total revenue, which is not a financial metric under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), is a measure that TriState Capital has consistently utilized to provide a greater understanding of the combined performance of its diverse fee-generating businesses. Non-interest income represented 22.0% of total revenue in the first quarter of 2022 when excluding net gains on the sale of securities, compared to 26.1% in the year-ago period and 23.6% in the linked quarter.

EXPENSES REFLECT CONTINUED INVESTMENTS IN BUSINESSES AND CLIENT EXPERIENCE

TriState Capital continues to invest in talent, technology, product, and risk and compliance management to support the continued responsible growth of its businesses, providing a premier client experience as it continues to scale its efficient branchless operating model. First quarter 2022 non-interest expense of $41.2 million included approximately $400,000, or $0.01 per diluted share net of taxes, incurred in connection with the pending Raymond James transaction, announced in October 2021. Fourth quarter 2021 non-interest expense of $42.8 million included approximately $2.7 million, or $0.06 per diluted share net of taxes, incurred in connection with the transaction announced in October 2021.

TriState Capital Bank’s efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2022 was 50.42%, compared to 50.59% in the first quarter of 2021 and 51.10% in the linked quarter. The improvement in the efficiency ratio demonstrates TriState Capital’s continued ability to scale its operational efficiency and resiliency while driving responsible growth. Efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial metric utilized to provide a greater understanding of a bank’s level of non-interest expense as a percentage of total revenue.

TriState Capital continued to maintain a low annualized non-interest expense to average assets ratio of 1.27% in the first quarter of 2022, compared to 1.24% in the first quarter of 2021 and 1.36% in the linked quarter.

Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue of $27.5 million in the first quarter of 2022 increased 30.8% from $21.0 million in the year-ago period and 13.9% from $24.2 million in the linked quarter.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

A combination of fixed income and equity strategy performance relative to benchmarks and a robust new business effort contributed to inflows of $416.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as Chartwell celebrates the 25th anniversary of its founding in April 2022.

Chartwell’s new business and new flows from existing accounts of $416.0 million were offset by market depreciation of $407.0 million and outflows of $623.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. Chartwell’s assets under management (AUM) totaled $11.23 billion on March 31, 2022, compared to $11.20 billion on March 31, 2021 and $11.84 billion on December 31, 2021. The rate of net outflows experienced by Chartwell in the period are believed to be in line with or below levels experienced by the industry in the first quarter of the year.

ORGANIC LENDING FRANCHISE GROWTH

TriState Capital’s client engagement and distribution capabilities continued to drive organic loan growth by expanding the number and depth of its premier relationships with high-quality middle-market commercial customers, as well as expanding the number of high-net-worth clients the bank serves through its growing national referral network of financial intermediaries.

Average loans totaled a record $10.83 billion in the first quarter of 2022, growing 30.9% from $8.28 billion in the prior year period and 6.0% from $10.21 billion in the linked quarter. Period-end loans totaled a record $11.25 billion on March 31, 2022, growing $2.70 billion, or 31.6%, from March 31, 2021, and $483.6 million, or 4.5%, from December 31, 2021.

TriState Capital continued to fortify its position as the nation’s leading independent provider of marketable securities-based loans for clients of independent investment advisory firms, trust companies, broker-dealers, regional securities firms, family offices, and other financial intermediaries that do not offer banking services themselves. Private banking loans totaled a record $7.27 billion at March 31, 2022, increasing $2.21 billion, or 43.8%, from one year prior and $381.7 million, or 5.5%, from the end of the linked quarter.

The company continued to grow relationships with top-quality middle-market sponsors and businesses, driving originations of commercial and industrial (“C&I”) and commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans while managing credit quality within the portfolio. Commercial loans totaled $3.98 billion at March 31, 2022, increasing $489.2 million, or 14.0%, from one year prior and $101.9 million, or 2.6%, from the end of the linked quarter.

C&I loans grew to $1.56 billion at March 31, 2022, increasing $315.1 million, or 25.2%, from one year prior and $50.9 million, or 3.4%, from December 31, 2021, including utilization of fund finance offerings and growth in equipment finance and traditional lending to middle-market companies.

CRE loans totaled $2.41 billion at March 31, 2022, increasing $174.1 million, or 7.8%, from March 31, 2021 and up $51.0 million, or 2.2%, from December 31, 2021 as new production activity offset increased amortization and paydowns in the first quarter.

STRATEGIC DEPOSIT AND LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT FRANCHISE EXPANSION

TriState Capital continues to deliver growth in its agile liquidity management franchise, which creates meaningful service-based client relationships and provides highly responsive funding. The bank is winning new business and enhancing the breadth and depth of existing client relationships with its nationally distributed service and liquidity management offerings for financial services businesses, payroll and other specialized payment servicers, real estate firms, high-net-worth individuals, family offices, middle market companies, municipalities and non-profits.

Average deposits totaled a record $11.65 billion in the first quarter of 2022, growing 31.7% from $8.85 billion in the first quarter of last year and 5.5% from $11.04 billion in the linked quarter. Period-end deposits totaled a record $12.17 billion at March 31, 2022, growing $2.92 billion, or 31.5%, from March 31, 2021, and $661.1 million, or 5.7%, from December 31, 2021.

Treasury management deposit accounts totaled $2.98 billion at March 31, 2022, increasing $1.17 billion, or 64.2%, from March 31, 2021 and $122.2 million, or 4.3%, from December 31, 2021.

The bank’s loan-to-deposit ratio at March 31, 2022 was 92.45%, compared to 92.36% at March 31, 2021 and 93.56% at December 31, 2021, as TriState Capital grew deposit balances in line with loan activity in the quarter.

INTEREST RATE MANAGEMENT

TriState Capital continues to favor an asset-sensitive approach to maintaining a balance sheet with significant flexibility to manage interest rate dynamics, while offering attractive deposit and loan pricing to clients.

Approximately 60% of TriState Capital’s non-fixed rate deposits use the Effective Federal Funds Rate or another benchmark as reference points, and the remaining non-fixed rate deposits are priced at rates set with bank discretion. Total cost of funds for all deposits and interest-bearing liabilities averaged 0.47% during the first quarter of 2022, compared to 0.59% in the same period last year and 0.45% in the linked quarter. The total cost of deposits averaged 0.37% during the first quarter of 2022, compared to 0.49% in the same period last year and 0.37% in the linked quarter.

At March 31, 2022, 95% of the company’s loans were floating rate and indexed to 30-day LIBOR, the Prime Rate, or another benchmark rate such as SOFR. TriState Capital continued to constructively use interest rate floors on existing and new variable rate loans throughout the first quarter of 2022.

The yield on total loans averaged 2.29% during the first quarter of 2022, compared to 2.41% in the prior year period and 2.30% in the linked quarter. Loan yields were affected primarily by growth in balances of private bank loans relative to commercial bank loans. The interest rate environment’s impact on first quarter of 2022 loan yields was partially offset by continued management of deposit costs.

Investment securities totaled a record $1.54 billion at March 31, 2022, up 25.0% from March 31, 2021 and 9.4% from December 31, 2021 as the bank continued to build on-balance sheet liquidity.

NIM expanded for the sixth consecutive quarter to 1.70% for the first quarter of 2022, up 11 basis points from the same period the year prior and two basis points from the linked quarter.

ASSET QUALITY

TriState Capital maintained strong asset quality metrics in the first quarter of 2022, reflecting its disciplined credit culture and lower risk profile resulting from the majority of its loans consisting of private banking non-purpose margin loans collateralized by marketable securities. Private banking grew to represent 64.6% of the total loan portfolio at March 31, 2022, while CRE and C&I comprised 21.5% and 13.9% of total loans, respectively.

The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases (ACL) was $25.0 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $34.6 million at March 31, 2021 and $28.6 million at December 31, 2021. ACL on commercial loans represented 0.58% of commercial loans at period end, excluding private banking loans primarily collateralized by liquid, marketable securities that do not require a reserve, compared to 0.99% at March 31, 2021 and 0.69% at December 31, 2021. As a percentage of total loans, ACL was 0.22% at March 31, 2022, 0.41% at March 31, 2021 and 0.27% at December 31, 2021.

TriState Capital’s net charge offs (NCOs) were $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2022, or 0.16% of total average loans of $10.83 billion, reflecting charge offs associated with an in-market commercial and industrial credit for which had previously been fully reserved. NCOs were $199,000 in the year-ago quarter and $4.2 million in the linked quarter.

NPAs were $2.0 million, or 0.01% of total assets, at March 31, 2022, compared to $25.5 million, or 0.24%, at March 31, 2021 and $6.3 million, or 0.05%, at December 31, 2021. NPLs were $0.0 million, or 0.00% of total loans, at March 31, 2022, compared to $22.7 million, or 0.27%, at March 31, 2021 and $4.3 million, or 0.04%, at December 31, 2021.

Total adverse-rated credits, including NPLs, were $32.1 million, or 0.29% of total loans, at March 31, 2022, compared to $50.9 million, or 0.60%, at March 31, 2021 and $36.9 million, or 0.34%, at December 31, 2021.

TriState Capital’s provision for credit losses was $563,000 in the first quarter of 2022, $224,000 in the first quarter of 2021 and $488,000 in the linked quarter.

CAPITAL STRENGTH AND EFFICIENCY

The company’s strong balance sheet included $2.02 billion in cash, equivalents and securities at March 31, 2022. Cash, equivalents, securities and private banking loans -- which are primarily collateralized by marketable securities that are monitored daily, liquid and subject to favorable treatment under regulatory capital requirements -- represented 67.91% of total assets at the end of the first quarter of 2022.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES

This news release and the accompanying tables contain certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Specifically, TriState Capital reviews and reports tangible common equity, tangible book value per common share, EBITDA, total revenue, pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue and efficiency ratio. Although TriState Capital believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of its business, these measures are not necessarily comparable to similar measures that may be presented by other companies. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Where non-GAAP disclosures are used, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found within this news release and in the reconciliation tables accompanying this news release.

Earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed using the two-class method, which requires that the Series C convertible preferred stock and warrants to be treated as participating classes of securities in the computation of EPS. In addition, net income is reduced by dividends declared on all series of preferred stock to derive net income available to common shareholders. The two-class method is an earnings allocation that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security. Net income available to common shareholders is reduced by the percentage of average common shares allocable to Preferred Series C holders and warrant holders on an as-if converted basis to arrive at net income allocable to common shareholders. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income allocable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding non-vested restricted stock. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, and the vesting of restricted stock awards granted utilizing the treasury stock method. The Series C convertible preferred stock is excluded from diluted weighted average common shares outstanding because the payment of the dividend is considered in the net income allocable to common shareholders for the calculation of basic EPS.

TRISTATE CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC. 

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,” “pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue” and “efficiency ratio.” These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental measures that we believe provide management and our investors with a more detailed understanding of our performance, although these measures are not necessarily comparable to similar measures that may be presented by other companies. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial measures in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein are calculated as follows:

“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 so that they can better understand and assess changes from period to period in common shareholders’ equity exclusive of changes in intangible assets associated with prior acquisitions. Intangible assets are created when we buy businesses that 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 as 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 associated with prior acquisitions.

“EBITDA” is defined as net income before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation expense and intangible amortization expense. 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 by 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 total 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 core operating revenue by removing the volatility that is associated with certain items that are unrelated to our core business.
