Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc. Reports Q3 2023 Results
NEW YORK, Nov. 02, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SAMG) (the “Company” or “Silvercrest”) today reported the results of its operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.
Business Update
Uncertain and more volatile markets had an outsized effect on assets under management (“AUM”) during the third quarter of 2023, with Silvercrest concluding the quarter with Total AUM of $31.2 billion and Discretionary AUM of $20.5 billion.
Discretionary AUM, which primarily drives revenue, decreased by $1.0 billion from the second quarter. Discretionary AUM has increased by $1.1 billion or 5.7% year-over-year, since the third quarter of 2022. The firm’s Total AUM has increased by $3.8 billion or 13.9% year-over-year from $27.4 billion to $31.2 billion.
Revenue increased 2.3% year-over-year for the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. Revenue decreased 6.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Most business metrics remain down on a year-over-year and year-to-date basis. Higher expenses during the third quarter this year negatively impacted Adjusted EBITDA1 and the Adjusted EBITDA Margin1. The year-to-date decline in revenue affected Adjusted EBITDA1, the Adjusted EBITDA Margin1and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share1,2, but Silvercrest’s Adjusted EBITDA Margin1 of 26.9% and 27.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, remains healthy for the company.
Silvercrest’s pipeline of new business opportunities remain solid but have weakened since the second quarter. This is the result of slower decision-making, not lost opportunities. We attribute this to a changing and uncertain business environment, higher interest rates, and geopolitical concerns. We are focused on those new opportunities as well as investments to drive future growth in the business, including value-added hires.
On October 31, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.19 per share of Class A common stock. The dividend will be paid on or about December 15, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 8, 2023.

- Total AUM of $31.2 billion, inclusive of discretionary AUM of $20.5 billion and non-discretionary AUM of $10.7 billion at September 30, 2023.

- U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) consolidated net income and net income attributable to Silvercrest of $5.4 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

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 (“RSUs”) 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.
