Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc. Reports Q1 2025 Results
Source: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 08 May 2025 13:52:46 America/Los_Angeles
NEW YORK, May 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SAMG) (the “Company” or “Silvercrest”) today reported the results of its operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Business Update
Silvercrest experienced strong new client organic flows of $0.4 billion during the first quarter of 2025. The new assets under management (“AUM”) follow on the significant new client flows of $1.4 billion in the 4th quarter of 2024. Our first quarter’s new client account flows was in itself stronger than in some recent years. Silvercrest’s strategic investments continue to promote growth. The increases during the quarter bode well for future revenue, and we remain highly optimistic about securing more significant organic flows over the course of 2025, as we discussed during our last earnings call.
Total AUM did decline during the quarter as a result of highly volatile markets amidst global economic and trade concerns. Discretionary AUM stands at $22.7 billion as of the end of the quarter, which is flat year over year. Total AUM was $35.3 billion. We expect continued market volatility to affect our short-term results. That said, we believe market and economic dislocations present meaningful opportunities for our business.
Strategically, we will continue to pursue more initiatives to better highlight Silvercrest in both the institutional and wealth markets. The firm has invested in talent across the firm to drive new growth and successfully transition the business toward the next generation. Our new business pipeline remains robust.
Silvercrest will continue to monitor and adjust our interim compensation ratio to match important investments in the business as long as we have compelling opportunities to grow the firm and build our return on invested capital. We will keep you informed of our plans and the progress of these investments.
We also completed a $12.0 million stock repurchase program. We will continue to look for opportunities to return capital to or accrete shareholders, especially as we invest in the business. Our strong balance sheet supports ongoing capital returns as well as our growth initiatives.
On May 5, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share of Class A common stock. The dividend will be paid on or about June 20, 2025 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 13, 2025.

The table below presents a comparison of certain GAAP and non-GAAP (“Adjusted”) financial measures and AUM.
For the Three Months
Ended March 31,(in thousands except as indicated) 2025 2024 Revenue $ 31,392 $ 30,272 Income before other income (expense), net $ 4,837 $ 5,904 Net income $ 3,928 $ 4,915 Net income margin 12.5 % 16.2 % Net income attributable to Silvercrest $ 2,469 $ 3,000 Net income per basic share $ 0.26 $ 0.32 Net income per diluted share $ 0.26 $ 0.32 Adjusted EBITDA1 $ 6,497 $ 7,453 Adjusted EBITDA Margin1 20.7 % 24.6 % Adjusted net income1 $ 3,894 $ 4,718 Adjusted basic earnings per share1, 2 $ 0.29 $ 0.34 Adjusted diluted earnings per share1, 2 $ 0.27 $ 0.33 Assets under management at period end (billions) $ 35.3 $ 34.5 Average assets under management (billions)3 $ 35.9 $ 33.9 Discretionary assets under management (billions) $ 22.7 $ 22.7 1 Adjusted measures are non-GAAP measures and are explained and reconciled to the comparable GAAP measures in Exhibits 2 and 3. 2 Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share measures for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are based on the number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2025. Adjusted diluted earnings per share are further based on the addition of unvested restricted stock units and non-qualified stock options to the extent dilutive at the end of the reporting period. 3 We have computed average AUM by averaging AUM at the beginning of the applicable period and AUM at the end of the applicable period. AUM at $35.3 Billion
Silvercrest’s discretionary AUM remained flat at $22.7 billion at March 31, 2025 and 2024. Silvercrest’s total AUM increased by $0.8 billion, or 2.3%, to $35.3 billion at March 31, 2025, from $34.5 billion at March 31, 2024. The increase was attributable to market appreciation of $0.8 billion.
Silvercrest’s discretionary assets under management decreased by $0.6 billion, or 2.6%, to $22.7 billion at March 31, 2025, from $23.3 billion at December 31, 2024. The decrease was attributable to market depreciation of $0.9 billion partially offset by net client inflows of $0.3 billion. Silvercrest’s total AUM decreased by $1.2 billion, or 3.3%, to $35.3 billion at March 31, 2025, from $36.5 billion at December 31, 2024. The decrease was attributable to market depreciation of $1.4 billion, partially offset by net client inflows of $0.2 billion.
First Quarter 2025 vs. First Quarter 2024
Revenue increased by $1.1 million, or 3.7%, to $31.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $30.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was driven by market appreciation during the twelve month period.
Total expenses increased by $2.2 million, or 9.0%, to $26.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $24.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Compensation and benefits expense increased by $1.2 million, or 6.9%, to $18.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $17.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in equity-based compensation of $0.1 million and salaries and benefits of $1.5 million primarily as a result of merit-based increases, partially offset by decreases in the accrual for bonuses of $0.3 million and severance expense of $0.1 million. General and administrative expenses increased by $1.0 million, or 14.6%, to $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This was primarily attributable to increases in professional fees of $0.3 million, portfolio and systems expense of $0.3 million, recruiting costs of $0.1 million, marketing and advertising costs of $0.1 million, office expenses of $0.1 million and travel and entertainment expenses of $0.1 million.
Consolidated net income was $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to consolidated net income of $4.9 million for the same period in the prior year. Net income attributable to Silvercrest was $2.5 million, or $0.26 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our Adjusted Net Income1 was $3.9 million, or $0.29 per adjusted basic share and $0.27 per adjusted diluted share2, for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA1 was $6.5 million, or 20.7% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $7.5 million, or 24.6% of revenue, for the same period in the prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were $36.3 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $68.6 million at December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, there was nothing outstanding under our term loan with City National Bank and nothing outstanding on our revolving credit facility with City National Bank.
Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc.’s total equity was $81.0 million at March 31, 2025. We had 9,473,772 shares of Class A common stock outstanding and 4,081,055 shares of Class B common stock outstanding at March 31, 2025.
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 believe 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 stockholders.
- Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenue. We believe 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 stockholders.
- 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 partners, 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 blended corporate rate of 26%. We believe 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 stockholders.
- 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 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 believe 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.
