Exhibit 99.1

Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc. Reports Q1 2016 Results

New York, NY – May 9, 2016 - Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SAMG) (the "Company" or "Silvercrest") today reported the results of its operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Business Update

During the first quarter of 2016, a difficult period for investing, Silvercrest increased year-over-year top-line revenue and EBITDA, while maintaining a solid pipeline of new business opportunities. Silvercrest’s investment capabilities continued their outperformance, supporting business development efforts.

Top line revenue increased 10.5% for the quarter ended March 2016 versus March 2015, from $17.4 million to $19.3 million – due to organic growth, increased institutional business and our successful acquisition of Jameson, Eaton & Wood, Inc.  Discretionary assets under management – primarily responsible for the firm’s revenue – increased from $11.8 billion to $12.2 billion from March 2015 to March 2016.  Discretionary assets under management increased by $0.1 billion during the first quarter of 2016.

As discussed last quarter, our business opportunities reflect the maturity of our marketing efforts and investments in the business, and we continue to believe that our outperformance bodes well for future organic growth, both institutionally and with high net worth families.

The firm has ongoing potential acquisition opportunities and we believe that, with one of the premier brands in the fast-growing RIA business, organic growth will be supported by selective acquisitions.

On May 3, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share of Class A common stock.  The dividend will be paid on or about June 17, 2016 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 10, 2016.

AUM at $17.0 billion

Silvercrest’s discretionary assets under management increased by $0.4 billion, or 3.4%, to $12.2 billion at March 31, 2016 from $11.8 billion at March 31, 2015.  Silvercrest’s AUM decreased by $1.2 billion, or 6.6%, to $17.0 billion at March 31, 2016 from $18.2 billion at March 31, 2015.  The decrease in total AUM was attributable to net client outflows of $0.1 billion and market depreciation of $1.1 billion.

Silvercrest’s discretionary assets under management increased by $0.1 billion, or 0.8%, to $12.2 billion at March 31, 2016 from $12.1 billion at December 31, 2015.  Silvercrest’s AUM decreased by $1.1 billion, or 6.1%, to $17.0 billion at March 31, 2016 from $18.1 billion at December 31, 2015.  The decrease was attributable to net client outflows of $0.9 billion and market depreciation of $0.2 billion.

First Quarter 2016 vs. First Quarter 2015

Revenue increased by $1.8 million, or 10.5%, to $19.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from $17.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This increase was driven primarily by growth in our management and advisory fees as a result of increased assets under management, mainly as a result of the Jamison, Eaton & Wood, Inc. acquisition (the “Jamison acquisition”).  Revenue related to the Jamison acquisition for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $1.4 million.

Total expenses increased by $2.3 million, or 17.7%, to $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $13.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Compensation and benefits expense increased by $1.7 million, or 17.2%, to $11.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the accrual for bonuses of $0.3 million, an increase in benefits costs of $0.1 million, an increase in equity-based compensation of $0.7 million due to the granting of restricted stock units in August 2015 and an increase in salaries expense of $0.6 million as a result of both merit-based increases and increased headcount due to the Jamison acquisition and the acquisition of Cappiccille & Company, LLC (“Cappiccille”). General and administrative expenses increased by $0.7 million, or 19.0%, to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 from $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This increase was primarily due to an increase in investment research costs of $0.1 million and an increase in sub-advisory and referral fees of $0.2 million, both due to the Jamison acquisition, an increase in client reimbursements of $0.1 million, an increase in occupancy and related expenses of $0.1 million due to the Jamison acquisition and an increase in depreciation and amortization of $0.2 million due primarily to intangibles acquired as part of the Jamison acquisition.

Consolidated net income was $2.5 million.  Net income attributable to Silvercrest was $1.3 million, or $0.16 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2016.   Our Adjusted Net Income1 was $2.3 million, or $0.18 per adjusted basic share and $0.17 per adjusted diluted share3 for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA1 was $5.3 million or 27.3% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to $5.0 million or 28.5% of revenue for the same period in the prior year.

 

 

 

1

Adjusted measures are non-GAAP measures and are explained and reconciled to the comparable GAAP measures in Exhibits 2 and 3.

2

We have computed average AUM by averaging AUM at the beginning of the applicable period and AUM at the end of the applicable period.

3

Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share measures for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are based on the number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2016.  Adjusted diluted earnings per share are further based on the addition of unvested deferred equity units, restricted stock units, and performance units to the extent dilutive at the end of the reporting period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $19.1 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $31.6 million at December 31, 2015. Silvercrest L.P. had notes payable of $4.5 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2015.  As of March 31, 2016, there was nothing outstanding on our revolving credit facility with City National Bank.  

Total stockholders' equity was $46.3 million at March 31, 2016.  We had 8,027,825 million shares of Class A common stock outstanding and 4,661,849 million shares of Class B common stock outstanding at March 31, 2016.

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.  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.  

 

·

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenue.

 

·

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. Furthermore, Adjusted Net Income includes income tax expense assuming a corporate rate of 40%.

 

·

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 deferred equity units, restricted stock units and performance units 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.
