We are pleased to report another strong quarter and year of financial results for Silvercrest, with new high earnings marks.

The firm’s discretionary assets under management (“AUM”), which drive revenue, increased by $2.6 billion, or 11.6%, during the fourth quarter of 2021, to $25.1 billion as of December 31, 2021.

The firm’s total AUM concluded the quarter and the year at $32.3 billion, up 16.2% and 4.2% for the year and during the fourth quarter, respectively.

AUM increased to $32.3 billion

Silvercrest’s discretionary assets under management increased by $4.5 billion, or 21.8%, to $25.1 billion at December 31, 2021 from $20.6 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase was attributable to client inflows of $5.7 billion and market appreciation of $4.3 billion, partially offset by client outflows of $5.5 billion. Silvercrest’s total AUM increased by $4.5 billion, or 16.2%, to $32.3 billion at December 31, 2021 from $27.8 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase was attributable to client inflows of $6.2 billion and market appreciation of $4.3 billion, partially offset by client outflows of $6.0 billion.

Silvercrest’s discretionary assets under management increased by $2.6 billion, or 11.6%, to $25.1 billion at December 31, 2021 from $22.5 billion at September 30, 2021. The increase was attributable to client inflows of $2.1 billion and market appreciation of $1.8 billion, partially offset by client outflows of $1.3 billion. Silvercrest’s total AUM increased by $1.3 billion, or 4.2%, to $32.3 billion at December 31, 2021 from $31.0 billion at September 30, 2021. The increase was attributable to client inflows of $2.2 billion and market appreciation of $0.5 billion, partially offset by client outflow of $1.4 billion.

Assets under management as of December 31, 2020 were impacted by the effects of COVID-19 on financial markets during the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Fourth Quarter 2021 vs. Fourth Quarter 2020

Revenue increased by $5.4 million, or 19.0%, to $33.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, from $28.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. This increase was driven by market appreciation in discretionary assets under management and net client inflows.

Total expenses decreased by $0.6 million, or 2.4%, to $24.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 from $25.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. Compensation and benefits expense decreased by $0.5 million, or 2.6%, to $17.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 from $18.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to an decrease in the accrual for bonuses of $1.1 million and a decrease in benefits expense of $0.1 million. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in salaries and benefits of $0.5 million primarily as a result of merit-based increases and newly hired staff and an increase in equity-based compensation expense of $0.1 million due to an increase in the number of vested and unvested restricted stock units and unvested non-qualified stock options outstanding. General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.1 million, or 1.2%, to $6.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021 from $6.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020. This was primarily attributable to a decrease in the adjustment to the fair value of contingent consideration related to the Cortina Acquisition of $0.5 million, a decrease in the adjustment to the fair value of contingent consideration related to the Neosho Acquisition of $0.3 million and a decrease in occupancy and related costs of $0.1 million primarily due to a decrease in cleaning and maintenance costs, partially offset by an increase in portfolio and systems expense of $0.5 and an increase in travel and entertainment expense of $0.2 million due primarily to the easing of coronavirus-related travel restrictions.

Revenue increased by $23.6 million, or 21.9%, to $131.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, from $108.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This increase was driven by net client inflows and market appreciation in discretionary assets under management.

The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the accrual for bonuses of $7.8 million, an increase in salaries expense of $1.6 million primarily as a result of merit-based increases and newly-hired staff and an increase in equity based compensation expense of $0.8 million due to an increase in the number of unvested restricted stock units and unvested non-qualified stock options outstanding.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with additional insight, promote transparency and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making, we supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a basis consistent with GAAP with Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Earnings Per Share which are non-GAAP financial measures of earnings. These adjustments, and the non-GAAP financial measures that are derived from them, provide supplemental information to analyze our operations between periods and over time. Investors should consider our non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

  • EBITDA represents net income before provision for income taxes, interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization.
  • We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA without giving effect to the Delaware franchise tax, professional fees associated with acquisitions or financing transactions, gains on extinguishment of debt or other obligations related to acquisitions, impairment charges and losses on disposals or abandonment of assets and leaseholds, client reimbursements and fund redemption costs, severance and other similar expenses, but including partner incentive allocations, prior to our initial public offering, as an expense. We feel that it is important to management and investors to supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis with Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure of earnings, as this measure provides a perspective of recurring earnings of the Company, taking into account earnings attributable to both Class A and Class B shareholders.
  • Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenue. We feel that it is important to management and investors to supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis with Adjusted EBITDA Margin, a non-GAAP financial measure of earnings, as this measure provides a perspective of recurring profitability of the Company, taking into account profitability attributable to both Class A and Class B shareholders.
  • Adjusted Net Income represents recurring net income without giving effect to professional fees associated with acquisitions or financing transactions, losses on forgiveness of notes receivable from our principals, gains on extinguishment of debt or other obligations related to acquisitions, impairment charges and losses on disposals or abandonment of assets and leaseholds, client reimbursements and fund redemption costs, severance and other similar expenses, but including partner incentive allocations, prior to our initial public offering, as an expense. Furthermore, Adjusted Net Income includes income tax expense assuming a blended corporate rate of 26%. We feel that it is important to management and investors to supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis with Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP financial measure of earnings, as this measure provides a perspective of recurring income of the Company, taking into account income attributable to both Class A and Class B shareholders.
  • Adjusted Earnings Per Share represents Adjusted Net Income divided by the actual Class A and Class B shares outstanding as of the end of the reporting period for basic Adjusted Earnings Per Share, and to the extent dilutive, we add unvested restricted stock units and non-qualified stock options to the total shares outstanding to compute diluted Adjusted Earnings Per Share. As a result of our structure, which includes a non-controlling interest, we feel that it is important to management and investors to supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis with Adjusted Earnings Per Share, a non-GAAP financial measure of earnings, as this measure provides a perspective of recurring earnings per share of the Company as a whole as opposed to being limited to our Class A common stock.
