FEE AND SPREAD INCOME, LOAN GROWTH AND MARGIN EXPANSION

-- Record annual revenue, net interest income and non-interest income achieved in 2020 while the company
organically grew both loans and deposits at double-digit rates for the seventh consecutive year --

PITTSBURGH, January 27, 2021 - TriState Capital Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: TSC) (“TriState Capital” or the “company”) reported fourth quarter and full year 2020 financial results including strong contributions by each of its investment management, private banking and commercial banking businesses, double-digit annual loan and deposit growth, assets under management growth, and year end margin expansion.

The parent company of TriState Capital Bank and Chartwell Investment Partners reported fourth quarter 2020 net income available to common shareholders of $10.6 million or $0.37 per diluted share, compared to $12.6 million or $0.44 in the fourth quarter of 2019 and $7.4 million or $0.26 in the third quarter of 2020.

“TriState Capital achieved record levels of revenue, interest income, fees, loans and deposits while maintaining superior asset quality and showing meaningful growth in fourth quarter margins,” Chairman and Chief Executive Officer James F. Getz said. “Our unique business model demonstrated its ability to achieve profitable growth in the most extraordinary operating and rate environments in 2020. We believe our balance sheet and capital position have never been stronger, including more than $200 million of growth capital secured last year. We also believe TriState Capital is well positioned to achieve its goals for 2021, including double-digit organic loan growth with credit quality outperformance, double-digit revenue growth fueled by all of our banking and asset management businesses, and improved profitability while continuing to invest in our clients, people, technology, and risk and compliance infrastructure.”

FULL YEAR AND FOURTH QUARTER 2020 HIGHLIGHTS
Earnings reflected $3.0 million in fourth quarter provision expense toward building allowance for credit loss on loans and leases (ACL) by 145.5% from December 31, 2019 and 12.8% during the last three months of the year to $34.6 million at period end, representing 67.4% of adverse-rated credits, 1.01% of commercial loans and 0.42% of total loans.
The company maintained superior credit quality, including period-end non-performing assets representing 0.13% of total assets and non-performing loans representing 0.12% of total loans, as well as COVID-19 deferral levels declining to 1.0% of total loans.
Chartwell grew net income to $2.8 million in 2020, up 15.0% from the year prior, even as investment management fees declined 12.1% over the same period.
Assets under management increased 5.8% from December 31, 2019 and 6.3% during the quarter to $10.26 billion at period end, while Chartwell’s run rate revenues grew to $35.6 million at year end.
Fourth quarter funding costs declined 10 basis points and net interest margin improved by 7 basis points to 1.53% from the linked quarter, as the company managed deposit growth to 3.7% for the fourth quarter and 28.0% for the year, while expanding its liquidity relationships and franchise.

Non-interest income totaled $14.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $13.5 million in the same period the year prior and $16.9 million in the linked quarter.

Chartwell investment management fees were $8.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $8.9 million in the same period the year prior and $8.1 million in the linked quarter. Fees from the bank’s back-to-back, loan-level interest rate swap offering for clients totaled $4.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $3.4 million in the same period the year prior and $4.0 million in the linked quarter.

TriState Capital recorded a $133,000 net gain on the sale and call of debt securities in the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily attributed to the continued repositioning of a portion of the corporate bond portfolio into government agency securities to take advantage of significant market appreciation and enhance the overall credit quality of the securities portfolio. Net gain on the sale and call of debt securities was $70,000 in the same period a year prior and $3.7 million in the linked quarter.

NII and non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses on the sale of securities, combined to generate record total revenue of $49.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $46.5 million in the same period the year prior and $46.6 million in the linked quarter. Full year 2020 total revenue was a record $191.2 million, up 6.6% from $179.4 million in 2019. Total revenue, which is not a financial metric under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), is a measure that TriState Capital has consistently utilized to provide a greater understanding of its diverse fee-generating businesses. TriState Capital’s non-interest income represented 27.8% of total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2020.

EXPENSES IN LINE WITH EXPECTATIONS
To support the continued growth of each of its businesses and its balance sheet, the company increased annual non-interest expense by 9.8% in 2020, which was its lowest rate of growth since 2013. Non-interest expense was $123.1 million in 2020, compared to $112.1 million in 2019. Total non-interest expense was $34.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, $30.1 million in the same period the year prior and $31.4 million in the linked quarter.

Fourth quarter 2020 operating expenses were favorably impacted by what are expected to be sustainable reductions in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance expense as a percentage of average assets, as compared to prior years. Premium assessments in the fourth quarter reflected TriState Capital’s portfolio of private banking non-purpose margin loans collateralized by marketable securities, as well as the branchless bank approaching $10 billion in assets and becoming a “large institution” for examination purposes. FDIC insurance expense was $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, or an annualized 0.08% of average assets, compared to $1.8 million, or 0.10%, the same period the year prior and $3.0 million, or 0.13%, in the linked quarter.

Other fourth quarter of 2020 operating expense increases included investments in technology and new hires to support continued growth, as well as accruals for the performance-based variable compensation program in which virtually all of the company’s employees participate. Technology and data services expense was $3.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $2.3 million in the same period the year prior and $2.6 million in the linked quarter. New hires and bonus accruals reflecting the company’s record annual revenue and other key financial metrics were primary factors in compensation and benefits expense increasing to $18.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, from $16.7 million in the same period the year prior and $18.5 million in the linked quarter.

TriState Capital Bank’s efficiency ratio was 55.57% in 2020 and 54.49% in 2019. The bank’s efficiency ratio for the fourth quarter of 2020 was 60.95%, compared to 56.03% in the same period the year prior and 58.73% in the linked quarter. The efficiency ratio, which is a non-GAAP financial metric, is a measure utilized to provide a greater understanding of a bank’s level of non-interest expense as a percentage of total revenue. Non-interest expense represented just 1.40% of average assets in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to 1.60% in the same period the prior year and 1.31% in the linked quarter.

Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue was $15.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $16.4 million in the same period the year prior and $15.2 million in the linked quarter. Pre-tax, pre-provision net revenue is a non-GAAP financial metric representing net income, without giving effect to loan loss provision and income taxes, and excluding gains and losses on the sale and call of investment securities.

Pre-tax income was $12.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $15.7 million in the same period a year prior and $11.5 million in the linked quarter.

EXHIBIT 99
TriState Capital’s effective tax rate in 2020 was 0.4% for the fourth quarter and 14.1% for the full year. The company’s effective tax rate is impacted by certain factors including the number, timing and size of tax credit investments, as well as the proportion of consolidated earnings attributed to investment management. The company’s 2021 tax rate, based on factors including anticipated tax credit investment opportunities, is currently expected to range from 15% to 17%.

Net income available to common shareholders, earnings per share and weighted average diluted shares in the fourth quarter of 2020 reflected the company’s previously disclosed $105 million sale of common stock, convertible preferred stock and warrants to funds managed by Stone Point Capital LLC on December 30, 2020. Net income available to common shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2020 also reflected $2.0 million in dividends payable to holders of the company’s Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock and Series B Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
Chartwell’s operating leverage potential was on full display in 2020, with significant growth in profitability. The unit’s net income grew to $2.8 million in 2020, up 15.0% from $2.4 million the year prior, even as investment management fees declined 12.1% over the same period. Chartwell earnings grew to $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, increasing from $13,000 in the same period the year prior and up 62.3% from $719,000 in the linked quarter.

Segment non-interest expenses were $29.7 million in 2020, down from $33.6 million in 2019, and $7.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, down from $8.9 million in the same period the year prior and $7.3 million in the linked quarter.

Strong investment performance across Chartwell’s active equity and fixed income strategies contributed to positive net inflows of client assets in 2020, as well as the full recovery of assets under management and run rate revenues from the financial markets’ trough in March 2020. At the end of 2020, Chartwell had $115 million in unfunded institutional investor commitments in its new business pipeline.

Chartwell new business and new flows from existing accounts of $278 million and market appreciation of $747 million more than offset outflows of $415 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Chartwell assets under management were $10.26 billion at December 31, 2020, compared to $9.70 billion one year prior and $9.65 billion at September 30, 2020.

Chartwell annual run rate revenue grew 6.0% during the fourth quarter of 2020 to $35.6 million at December 31, 2020. Chartwell’s weighted average fee rate was 0.35% at December 31, 2020.

ORGANIC LOAN GROWTH
TriState Capital’s client engagement and distribution capabilities continued to grow both sides of its balance sheet organically, expanding the number and depth of its premier relationships with high-quality middle-market commercial customers, as well as the family offices and high-net-worth clients the bank serves through its national referral network of investment advisors and other financial intermediaries.

Average loans totaled a record $7.86 billion in the fourth quarter of 2020, growing 25.8% from $6.25 billion in the same period the year prior and 6.4% from $7.39 billion in the linked quarter. Loans at December 31, 2020 totaled $8.24 billion, growing an annual record $1.66 billion, or 25.2%, from one year prior and a quarterly record $583.0 million, or 7.6%, from September 30, 2020.

TriState Capital continued to fortify its position as the nation’s leading independent provider of marketable securities-backed loans for clients of independent investment advisory and other financial services firms. Private banking loans totaled a record $4.81 billion at December 31, 2020, increasing $1.11 billion, or 30.1%, from one year prior and $349.0 million, or 7.8%, 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. Commercial loans totaled $3.43 billion at December 31, 2020, increasing $547.5 million, or 19.0%, from one year prior and $233.9 million, or 7.3%, from the end of the linked quarter.

CRE loans grew to $2.16 billion at December 31, 2020, increasing $359.0 million, or 20.0%, from one year prior and $98.1 million, or 4.8%, from the end of the linked quarter. CRE loans represented 26.1% of total period-end loans.

TriState Capital’s 2020 commercial lending activity is attributed to its regional middle market and financial services franchise, including the continued expansion of its equipment finance and investment fund finance offerings. The bank does not offer small business lending products and did not participate in the Paycheck Protection Program.

STRATEGIC DEPOSIT FRANCHISE EXPANSION
TriState Capital continues to support private banking and commercial loan growth with its highly responsive funding capability and the agile expansion of its strategic deposit franchise. The bank’s national treasury management and liquidity management offerings are increasing the breadth and depth of depositor relationships with financial services businesses, payroll and other specialized payment processors, high-net-worth individuals, family offices, middle market companies, professional service firms, municipalities and non-profits.

Average deposits totaled $8.44 billion in the fourth quarter of 2020, growing 35.8% from $6.21 billion in the same period the year prior and 2.8% from $8.21 billion in the linked quarter. Deposits at December 31, 2020 totaled $8.49 billion, growing by an annual record $1.85 billion, or 28.0%, from one year prior and $305.4 million, or 3.7%, from September 30, 2020.

Treasury management deposit accounts grew to $1.46 billion at December 31, 2020, increasing $383.2 million, or 35.7%, from one year prior and $110.1 million, or 8.2%, from September 30, 2020.

The bank’s loan-to-deposit ratio was 97.04% at December 31, 2020, compared to 99.14% one year prior and 93.53% at the end of the linked quarter, as TriState Capital managed deposit balances in line with loan activity in the quarter and the improving cash markets.

INTEREST RATE MANAGEMENT
TriState Capital continues to maintain a balance sheet with significant flexibility to actively manage interest rate dynamics and profitability, while offering attractive deposit and loan pricing to clients, even as the Federal Reserve’s target Federal Funds Rate has declined dramatically since the third quarter of 2019.

Investment securities totaled a record $842.5 million at December 31, 2020, up 79.6% from one year prior and 2.7% from the end of the linked quarter.

Most of TriState Capital’s non-fixed rate deposits are linked to the Effective Fed Funds Rate or another benchmark, and the remaining deposits are priced at rates set with bank discretion. Total cost of funds for all deposits and interest-bearing liabilities averaged 0.67% during the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to 1.93% in the same period last year and 0.77% in the linked quarter. The cost of total deposits averaged 0.57% during the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to 1.92% in the same period last year and 0.67% in the linked quarter.

At December 31, 2020, 94% of the company’s loans were floating rate and indexed to 30-day LIBOR or the Prime Rate. TriState Capital continued to constructively use interest rate floors on existing and new variable rate loans throughout the fourth quarter of 2020.

The yield on total loans averaged 2.44% during the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to 3.81% in the same period the year prior and 2.49% in the linked quarter. Loan yields resulted from trends in 30-day LIBOR during the fourth quarter of 2020, as well as an overall focus on premier relationships and product types, variable rate pricing, and strong asset quality.

TriState Capital reported a net interest margin of 1.53% for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to 1.84% in the same period the year prior and 1.46% in the linked quarter as the company managed deposit costs and balances.

ASSET QUALITY
TriState Capital maintained strong asset quality metrics in the fourth quarter of 2020, reflecting the company’s disciplined credit culture and the majority of its private banking non-purpose margin loans collateralized by marketable securities. Private banking grew to represent 58.4% of total loans at December 31, 2020, while CRE and C&I loans comprised 26.1% and 15.5% of total loans, respectively.

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 its 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.

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,” “tangible assets,” “tangible assets excluding private banking loans,” tangible common equity ratio,” “tangible common equity ratio excluding private banking loans,” “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.

“Tangible assets” is defined as total assets reduced by intangible assets, including goodwill. We believe this measure is important to many investors who are interested in changes from period to period in total assets exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

“Tangible assets excluding private banking loans” is defined as total assets reduced by intangible assets, including goodwill, and private banking loans. We believe this measure is important to many investors who are interested in changes from period to period in total assets exclusive of changes in intangible assets and private banking loans.

“Tangible common equity ratio” is defined as (i) common shareholders’ equity reduced by intangible assets, including goodwill, divided by (ii) total assets reduced by intangible assets, including goodwill. We believe this measure is important to many investors who are interested in changes from period to period in the ratio of common shareholders’ equity to total assets exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

“Tangible common equity ratio excluding private banking loans” is defined as (i) common shareholders’ equity reduced by intangible assets, including goodwill, divided by (ii) total assets reduced by intangible assets, including goodwill, and private banking loans. We believe this measure is important to many investors who are interested in changes from period to period in the ratio of common shareholders’ equity to total assets exclusive of changes in intangible assets and private banking loans.

“EBITDA” is defined as net income before interest expense, income tax expense, 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 loan and lease 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 (as defined herein). 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.
