FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE




TRISTATE CAPITAL REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2016 FINANCIAL RESULTS


PITTSBURGH, April 20, 2016 - TriState Capital Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSC) reported earnings per share of $0.21 for the first quarter of 2016, an increase of 16.7% from the first quarter of 2015 and 5.0% from the fourth quarter of 2015. Revenue growth, strong credit quality, and expansion of loans, deposits and assets under management in the first quarter of 2016 all contributed to the strong EPS performance.

Net income for the parent company of TriState Capital Bank and Chartwell Investment Partners was $5.8 million in the first quarter of 2016, increasing 15.6% from $5.1 million in the first quarter of 2015 and 4.6% from $5.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Net income per diluted share was $0.21 in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $0.18 in the first quarter of 2015 and $0.20 in the fourth quarter of 2015.

“We delivered solid top- and bottom-line results in the first quarter as we maintained our focus on building a growth-oriented company that achieves sustainable and meaningful increases in earnings per share over multi-year periods,” Chief Executive Officer James F. Getz said. “We continued to expand TriState Capital Bank’s balance sheet in support of our ongoing long-term compound annual loan growth goal of 15%, while Chartwell’s $574 million in organic growth of assets under management in the quarter demonstrated our sales, distribution and service capabilities ahead of closing our acquisition of The Killen Group (TKG).”

FIRST QUARTER 2016 HIGHLIGHTS
Net interest income (NII) increased 11.1% from the first quarter of 2015 and 4.3% from the fourth quarter of 2015
Net interest margin (NIM) expanded by 5 basis points from the linked quarter, driven largely by the Federal Reserve’s December increase in the fed-funds rate
Bank pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue increased 19.1% from the year-ago quarter and 13.1% from the linked quarter
Total loans grew 16.9% from one year prior and 1.9% during the quarter, driven by expansion of private banking and commercial real estate loans
Adverse-rated credits represented 1.96% of total loans at period end, compared to 2.35% at March 31, 2015 and 1.92% at December 31, 2015
Bank efficiency ratio improved to 59.40%, declining 201 basis points from 61.41% in the first quarter of 2015 and 274 basis points from 62.14% in the fourth quarter of 2015
Chartwell net inflows of new and existing client assets grew to $604 million in the first three months of 2016, exceeding the $502 million achieved in the 12 months of 2015
Assets under management grew 7.2% during the quarter to $8.6 billion, as net inflows more than offset market depreciation of $30 million

Total revenue grew to $27.3 million in the first quarter of 2016, reflecting higher NII and stable non-interest income, increasing 7.0% from $25.5 million in the year-ago quarter and 2.5% from $26.6 million in the linked quarter.

TriState Capital’s loan growth continues to generate increases in NII, which totaled $18.3 million in the first quarter of 2016. NII grew 11.1% from $16.5 million in the first quarter of 2015 and 4.3% from $17.5 million in the linked quarter, aided by a 5 basis point increase in NIM during the quarter.

Investment management fees of $7.0 million in the first three months of 2016 reflected market volatility, partially offset by Chartwell’s significant growth in new and existing accounts. Chartwell investment management fees were $7.7 million in the year-ago quarter and $7.4 million in the linked quarter. On an annualized run-rate basis, Chartwell’s revenues increased to $30.9 million at March 31, 2016, up 3.1% from $30.0 million at March 31, 2015 and 5.4% from $29.3 million at December 31, 2015.

Other non-interest income was $2.0 million in the first quarter of 2016, including higher fees from commercial borrowers’ use of interest rate swaps in the period, compared to $1.4 million in the year-ago quarter and $1.7 million in the linked quarter. Total non-interest income was $9.0 million, or 33.0% of total revenue, in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $9.1 million in the year-ago period and $9.1 million in the linked quarter.

The bank’s efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2016 was 59.40%, improving 201 basis points from 61.41% in the first quarter of 2015 and 274 basis points from 62.14% in the fourth quarter of 2015. Non-interest expenses in the first quarter of 2016 were $18.0 million, or 2.19% of average assets on an annualized basis, compared to $17.1 million, or 2.41%, in the first quarter of 2015. Fourth quarter 2015 non-interest expenses were $17.5 million, or 2.16% of average assets on an annualized basis, when excluding $601,000 of non-recurring TKG-acquisition related costs.

TriState Capital’s first quarter 2016 effective tax rate of approximately 36% is in line with the company’s current expectation for the balance of the year.

BALANCE SHEET GROWTH
Loans totaled $2.90 billion at March 31, 2016, increasing 16.9% over balances at March 31, 2015 and 1.9% from December 31. Private banking loans totaled $1.37 billion at March 31, 2016, growing 28.6% from the end of the year-ago quarter and 1.8% from the end of the linked quarter. Commercial loans totaled $1.53 billion at March 31, 2016, growing 8.2% from the end of the year-ago quarter and 2.1% from the end of the linked quarter.

Deposits totaled $2.76 billion at March 31, 2016, increasing 12.9% from March 31, 2015 and 2.5% from December 31. The bank’s maturities on fixed rate deposits remained relatively constant at 262 days on March 31, 2016, compared to 262 at March 31, 2015 and 264 at December 31.

TriState Capital remains very well positioned to profit from a rising interest-rate environment as the bank continues to manage a highly asset-sensitive balance sheet. At March 31, 2016, 86% of TriState Capital’s loan portfolio and 52% of its securities portfolio were floating rate. In addition, 31% of deposits were fixed-rate time deposits.

ASSET QUALITY
TriState Capital’s solid asset quality metrics in the first quarter of 2016 continued to reflect the bank’s ongoing focus on growing its private banking franchise, particularly margin loans secured by marketable securities.

Non-performing assets (NPAs) were $22.9 million at March 31, 2016, or 0.67% of total assets, increasing during the first quarter primarily due to the downgrade of a single in-market C&I loan, which was a substandard credit downgraded to non-performing. NPAs were $30.7 million, or 1.05% of assets, at March 31, 2015 and $18.4 million, or 0.56%, at December 31, 2015.

TriState Capital experienced no charge-offs during the first quarter of 2016, while recognizing recoveries of $450,000 on loans previously charged-off. The company experienced net recoveries of $7,000 in the first quarter of 2015. Fourth quarter 2015 net charge-offs on loans were $1.6 million, or 0.23% of average total loans.

Provision expense was $122,000 in the first quarter of 2016, $925,000 in the first quarter of 2015 and $244,000 in the fourth quarter of 2015.

The company’s allowance for loan losses represented 0.64% of total loans at March 31, 2016, compared to 0.86% at March 31, 2015 and 0.63% at December 31, 2015.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
Chartwell saw first quarter 2016 net inflows of $604 million, attributed to strong investment performance relative to benchmarks across all disciplines, as well as the boutique investment manager’s business development efforts. New business and new flows from existing accounts totaled $665 million in the first quarter, meaningfully offsetting outflows of $61 million and

market depreciation of $30 million. Chartwell grew assets under management to $8.6 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2016, up 5.9% from $8.1 billion at March 31, 2015 and 7.2% from $8.0 billion at December 31, 2015.

Investment management fees of $7.0 million in the first three months of 2016 reflected market depreciation driven by volatility in the U.S. equity markets in January and February, partially offset by Chartwell’s significant growth in new business and inflows late in the quarter. Chartwell’s annualized run-rate revenues increased to $30.9 million at March 31, 2016, increasing 3.1% from $30.0 million at March 31, 2015 and 5.4% from $29.3 million at December 31, 2015.

Chartwell earned $858,000 in the first quarter, comprising 15% of TriState Capital Holdings’ consolidated net income for the first three months of 2016.

In December 2015, TriState Capital announced that it entered into a definitive asset-purchase agreement to acquire The Killen Group. TKG is investment advisor to The Berwyn Funds, including the Berwyn Income Fund, a Morningstar five-star rated conservative allocation strategy fund. Closing continues to be anticipated in the second quarter of 2016, subject to regulatory requirements, approval by shareholders of The Berwyn Funds, certain TKG-client consents, and other customary closing conditions and adjustments. Terms of the all-cash transaction include an initial purchase price due at closing of $15 million, or 5.0 times a base EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of $3.0 million, and contingent consideration valued at 7.0 times any incremental growth in TKG’s December 31, 2016, annual run-rate EBITDA in excess of $3.0 million. As previously announced, TriState Capital intends to integrate TKG’s personnel and operations into Chartwell while maintaining The Berwyn Funds brand.

CAPITAL STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY
TriState Capital continued to maintain capital ratios that exceed the highest required regulatory benchmark levels. As of March 31, 2016, TriState Capital Holdings reported ratios of 13.36% for total risk-based capital, 11.76% for tier 1 risk-based capital, 11.76% for common equity tier 1 risk-based capital and 8.83% for tier 1 leverage.

In January 2016, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $10 million, authorizing TriState Capital Holdings to repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares of its common stock. The company repurchased a total of 148,206 shares for approximately $1.7 million during the first quarter at an average cost of $11.76 per share.

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,” “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 common 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 business purchase combination, has 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 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 business purchase 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, excluding non-recurring acquisition related expenses 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.
