FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


TRISTATE CAPITAL REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2015 FINANCIAL RESULTS

PITTSBURGH, Apr. 22, 2015 - TriState Capital Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSC) today reported solid growth in first quarter 2015 net income, earnings per share and total revenue over the first quarter of 2014, driven by excellent credit quality, investment management fees and continued double-digit expansion of lending.

Net income was $5.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2015, compared to $4.6 million, or $0.16 per share, in the prior year quarter. Results for the first quarter of 2014 included $1.0 million in pre-tax gains from the sales of investment securities and one month’s contribution from the Chartwell Investment Partners acquisition, which closed March 5, 2014. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2014, net income was unchanged.

“Robust first quarter results clearly exhibit our disciplined execution of TriState Capital’s profitable-growth strategy,” said Chief Executive Officer James F. Getz. “Over the last 12 months, we have delivered a 32% increase in total revenue, 28% growth in loans while maintaining high credit quality, and 28% growth in pre-tax, pre-provision earnings. In the last quarter alone, we expanded private banking channel lending by 8%, surpassing $1 billion for the first time, and increased Chartwell assets under management by 5%. We are very pleased with our early momentum at the start of 2015.”

FIRST QUARTER 2015 HIGHLIGHTS
Non-interest income grew to represent 35.5% of total revenue, excluding investment securities gains
Total loans increased 13.0%, annualized
Total deposits increased 18.2%, annualized
Lower regulatory capital required for much of TriState Capital’s private banking channel lending under Basel III rules implemented Jan. 1, 2015 resulted in the holding company’s total risk-based ratio improving to 14.39% at period end from 11.02% at Dec. 31, 2014, making $70 million of regulatory capital available to the bank
Total adverse-rated credits declined 14.3%

TriState Capital’s net interest income (NII) totaled $16.5 million in the first quarter of 2015, compared to $17.5 million in the linked fourth quarter of 2014 and $15.9 million in the first quarter of 2014. Linked quarter net interest income included $762,000 in deferred-interest income earned from the full payoff of a previously non-performing loan during the quarter, as well as the impact of two additional days of NII in the period. Significant organic expansion of the bank’s loan portfolio occurred late in the first quarter of 2015, preceded by robust deposit growth. Net interest margin was 2.44% in the first quarter of 2015, compared to 2.61% in the linked quarter, which included approximately 12 basis points from the full payoff of the previously mentioned non-performing loan.

Provision expense totaled $925,000, or 0.15% of average loans, annualized, for the first quarter of 2015, compared to $608,000, or 0.13% of average loans, annualized, in the year ago quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2014, TriState Capital recorded negative provision expense of $209,000, primarily driven by an $800,000 specific reserve reversal resulting from the full payoff of the previously mentioned non-performing loan.

First quarter 2015 non-interest income was $9.1 million, compared to $8.8 million in the linked quarter and $4.5 million in the year-ago quarter, which included one month of investment management fee income from Chartwell totaling $2.5 million, as well as $1.0 million in pre-tax gains from the sales of investment securities. Investment management fees were $7.7 million in both the first quarter of 2015 and the fourth quarter of 2014. First quarter of 2015 non-interest income also reflected higher swap fees and Federal Home Loan Bank dividends. Non-interest income, excluding net gains on sales of investment

securities, represented 35.5% of total revenue in the first quarter of 2015, compared to 33.5% in the linked quarter and 17.9% in the year-ago quarter.

In the first quarter of 2015, TriState Capital’s total revenue was $25.5 million, compared to $26.3 million in the linked quarter and up 31.9% from $19.3 million in the year-ago quarter. The linked quarter included $762,000 in deferred loan interest income and two additional business days of NII.

First quarter 2015 non-interest expenses were $17.1 million, or 2.41% of average assets on an annualized basis, compared to $19.4 million, or 2.74%, in the linked quarter and $12.8 million, or 2.22%, in prior year quarter. Excluding the $1.6 million Chartwell incremental earnout accrual during the linked quarter, fourth quarter 2014 non-interest expenses were $17.8 million, or 2.51% of average assets on an annualized basis. Non-interest expenses were higher than in the year-ago quarter, largely as a result of the March 2014 acquisition of Chartwell. The first quarter 2015 efficiency ratio, as adjusted, for the bank was 62.86%, compared to 61.84% in the linked quarter and 64.11% in the year-ago quarter.

First quarter 2015 pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue was $8.4 million versus $7.0 million in the linked quarter and $6.5 million in the year-ago quarter.

The company’s first quarter effective tax rate increased to 32.5% from 29.1% in the linked quarter, reflecting Chartwell as a larger percentage of TriState Capital’s consolidated taxable income.

BALANCE SHEET GROWTH
Loans totaled $2.48 billion at March 31, 2015, increasing 3.2%, or 13.0% annualized, during the first quarter of 2015. Total loans grew 28.3% over the 12 months ended March 31, 2015. Private banking channel loans totaled $1.06 billion, growing 31.0%, annualized, from the end of the linked quarter and 76.9% from the end of the year-ago quarter. CRE loans totaled $754.4 million, growing 11.7%, annualized, from the end of the linked quarter and 27.5% from the end of the year-ago quarter. C&I loan balances were $657.9 million at March 31, 2015, decreasing 11.7%, annualized, from the end of the linked quarter and 10.7% from one year prior.

Deposits grew by 18.2%, annualized, during the first quarter to $2.44 billion at March 31, 2015, while deposit funding costs increased 2 basis points from the linked quarter. Compared to the year-ago quarter, deposits grew 11.4% at period end, while deposit funding costs were flat at 49 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 March 31, 2015, 82% of TriState Capital’s loans and 64% of its securities portfolio were floating rate. In addition, 35% of deposits were fixed-rate time deposits. The duration of the investment portfolio was 1.6 as of March 31, 2015.

ASSET QUALITY
TriState Capital experienced net recoveries on loans previously charged off totaling $7,000 during the first quarter, compared to net charge offs totaling $1.9 million, or 0.32% of average loans, annualized, for the linked quarter and $852,000, or 0.19%, in the year-ago quarter. Non-performing assets represented 1.05% of total assets at March 31, 2015, improving from 1.11% at Dec. 31, 2014 and 1.20% at March 31, 2014. In addition, total adverse-rated credits declined by 14.3% for the first quarter of 2015.

The company’s allowance for loan losses is impacted by its growing portfolio of private banking channel loans secured by marketable securities, which have lower provision based on their lower risk profile. The allowance for loan losses represented 0.86% of total loans at March 31, 2015, compared to 0.84% at Dec. 31, 2014 and 0.97% at March 31, 2014.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
Chartwell’s assets under management (AUM) grew to $8.1 billion at March 31, 2015, compared to $7.7 billion at Dec. 31, 2014 and $8.0 billion at March 31, 2014. First quarter AUM growth reflects $272 million in new business and new flows from existing accounts, as well as market appreciation of $256 million, partially offset by outflows of $138 million. The weighted average fee rate for the fourth quarter was 0.37%, consistent with the linked quarter.

Chartwell investment management fees remained in line with the linked quarter at $7.7 million. Continued strong performance reflects net inflows, including those into new funds launched in 2014 and strong product performance relative to benchmarks across disciplines.

Net income for the Chartwell segment totaled $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2015, comprising 21% of TriState Capital Holdings, Inc.’s consolidated net income.

CAPITAL STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY
Under Basel III capital rules effective Jan. 1, 2015, the company benefits from risk-weighted capital treatment recognizing the lower-risk profile of TriState Capital’s private banking channel non-purpose margin loans, which are over-collateralized by cash and marketable securities that are marked to market and monitored daily. Accordingly, TriState Capital Holdings’ total risk-based capital ratio increased to 14.39% at March 31, 2015, from 11.02% at Dec. 31, 2014. TriState Capital Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio increased to 13.65% at March 31, 2015, from 10.69% at Dec. 31, 2014. This implementation had the favorable net effect of making $70 million of regulatory capital available to the bank in the first quarter of 2015.

The company currently expects to continue the execution of its growth strategy without the need to externally raise additional capital for the foreseeable future, given Basel III’s recognition of the credit-risk-mitigation benefits of loans backed by financial collateral, including TriState Capital’s private banking channel non-purpose margin loans.

TriState Capital’s other capital ratios also continue to exceed the highest required regulatory benchmark levels. As of March 31, 2015, TriState Capital Holdings reported ratios of 12.13% for tier 1 risk-based capital, 12.13% for common equity tier 1 risk-based capital and 9.42% for tier 1 leverage.

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 the sale 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 gains and losses on the 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.
