-- The company continued to expand the client base utilizing its asset management, private banking, commercial banking, and treasury and liquidity management capabilities, while all of its businesses enter 2022 with strong new business pipelines --

TriState Capital Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: TSC) (“TriState Capital” or the “company”) reported fourth quarter and full year 2021 financial results including double-digit organic growth in assets under management (AUM), loans, deposits, revenue and earnings.

The parent company of TriState Capital Bank and Chartwell Investment Partners reported net income available to common shareholders of $65.7 million, or $1.71 per diluted share, for 2021 and $19.9 million, or $0.52, per diluted share in the fourth quarter, including the $0.06 impact of expenses associated with its previously announced agreement to be acquired by Raymond James Financial, Inc. (“Raymond James”). Net income available to common stockholders was $37.4 million or $1.30 per diluted share in 2020, $10.6 million or $0.37 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2020, and $16.9 million or $0.44 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2021.

“TriState Capital’s unwavering support of our talented people as they meet the needs of our clients in extraordinary times, while creating long-term value for our common stockholders, resulted in a spectacular year for this company and each of our asset management, private banking and commercial banking businesses,” Chairman James F. Getz said. “Our solid performance in 2021 exemplified TriState Capital’s ability to consistently execute against our long-term strategy for achieving responsible growth in a range of economic and rate environments. Since 2011, TriState Capital has delivered average annual growth of 23% in loans, 17% in revenue and 20% in earnings per share, all while diversifying our sources of fee income, launching a best-in-class treasury and liquidity management offering, building exceptional national financial services distribution capabilities, enhancing operating leverage, and implementing the infrastructure to accommodate the continued organic expansion of our businesses.”

Mr. Getz added that the company also continues to expect to close its transaction with Raymond James in 2022, subject to customary conditions including TriState Capital shareholder and regulatory approvals. He noted, “TriState Capital is aligned with a strong partner that appreciates the value of the franchises and personnel we have in place today, as well as our ability to put its capital, low-cost deposits and other resources to work to support the continued success of TriState Capital Bank and Chartwell Investment Partners.”

Non-interest expense also included investment tax credit expense of $2.8 million and $1.7 million in the fourth quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively.

TriState Capital Bank’s efficiency ratio decreased to 51.10% in the fourth quarter of 2021, from 60.95% in the prior year period and 54.79% in the linked quarter. The efficiency ratio, a widely used industry non-GAAP financial metric, is utilized to provide a greater understanding of a bank’s level of non-interest expense as a percentage of total revenue.

In addition, Chartwell’s new business pipeline currently has in excess of $353 million in commitments from institutional investors.

ORGANIC LENDING FRANCHISE GROWTH

Private banking loans totaled a record $6.89 billion at December 31, 2021, increasing $2.08 billion, or 43.2%, from one year prior and $682.5 million, or 11.0%, 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.

CRE loans grew to $2.36 billion at December 31, 2021, increasing $207.9 million, or 9.6%, from one year prior and $39.2 million, or 1.7%, from the end of the linked 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 $11.04 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021, growing 30.8% from $8.44 billion in the prior year period and 7.7% from $10.25 billion in the linked quarter. Deposits at December 31, 2021 totaled $11.50 billion, growing by an annual record $3.02 billion, or 35.5%, from one year prior and $748.2 million, or 7.0%, from September 30, 2021.

Treasury management deposit accounts grew to $2.86 billion at December 31, 2021, increasing $1.4 billion, or 96.1%, from one year prior and $406.3 million, or 16.6%, from September 30, 2021.

INTEREST RATE MANAGEMENT

TriState Capital continues to maintain 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 0.45% during the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 0.67% in the same period last year and 0.49% in the linked quarter. The total cost of deposits averaged 0.37% during the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 0.57% in the same period last year and 0.41% in the linked quarter.

At December 31, 2021, 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 fourth quarter of 2021.

The yield on total loans averaged 2.30% during the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 2.44% in the prior year period and 2.32% in the linked quarter. Loan yields resulted primarily from trends in 30-day LIBOR in 2021, as well as higher rates of growth in private bank loans relative to commercial loans. Loan yield movement was more than offset by a continued reduction in deposit costs.

Investment securities totaled $1.41 billion at December 31, 2021, increasing 66.8% from one year prior and decreasing 1.7% from the end of the linked quarter.

NIM expanded for the fifth consecutive quarter to 1.68% for the fourth quarter of 2021, up 15 basis points from the same period last year and up 3 basis points from the linked quarter.

ASSET QUALITY

TriState Capital maintained strong asset quality metrics in the fourth quarter of 2021, 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 64.0% of total loans at December 31, 2021, while CRE and C&I loans comprised 21.9% and 14.1% of total loans, respectively.

The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases (“ACL”) totaled $28.6 million at the end of 2021, compared to $34.6 million at December 31, 2020 and $32.4 million at September 30, 2021.

As a percentage of total loans, ACL was 0.27% at December 31, 2021, 0.42% at December 31, 2020 and 0.33% at September 30, 2021.

The company recorded net charge-offs of $4.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, net recoveries of $109,000 in the year-ago quarter, and net charge-offs of $238,000 in the linked quarter.

Non-performing assets (“NPAs”) were $6.3 million, or 0.05% of total assets, at December 31, 2021, compared to $12.4 million, or 0.13%, at December 31, 2020 and $10.8 million, or 0.09%, at September 30, 2021. Non-performing loans (“NPLs”) were $4.3 million, or 0.04% of total loans, at December 31, 2021, compared to $9.7 million, or 0.12%, at December 31, 2020 and $8.6 million, or 0.09%, at September 30, 2021.

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 67.24% of total assets at the end of the fourth quarter of 2021.

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.

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.

“Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue” is defined as net interest income and non-interest income, excluding gains and losses on the sale and call of debt securities and total non-interest expense. 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 credit losses and changes in our tax rates and other items that are unrelated to our core business.

“Efficiency ratio” is defined as total non-interest expense divided by our total revenue. We believe this measure allows management and investors to better assess our operating expenses in relation to our core operating revenue, particularly at the Bank.
