NEW YORK, July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Silvercrest Asset Management Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SAMG) (the \u201cCompany\u201d or \u201cSilvercrest\u201d) today reported the results of its operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026.<\/p>\n

\n Business Update<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n

Silvercrest made strategic progress during the second quarter, and the plan we have described over the past two years is proceeding as designed. Discretionary assets under management (\u201cAUM\u201d), which primarily drives the firm’s revenue, increased 6.9% during the second quarter to $24.7 billion at June 30, 2026, and from $23.1 billion at March 31, 2026, driven by market appreciation partially offset by net client outflows. Outflows during the quarter were primarily attributable to seasonal high net worth client withdrawals for tax payments, consistent with prior second quarters, as well as institutional outflows. Over $200 million of those outflows will have no revenue effect. Year over year, discretionary AUM grew 4.2% from $23.7 billion. Total AUM increased 3.6% during the quarter to $37.0 billion.<\/p>\n

Organic new client account flows were $111 million for the second quarter, up from $81 million in the first quarter and $80 million in the prior-year period. As discussed in prior quarters, non-discretionary AUM are associated with a small portion of revenue. We will adjust how the firm reports non-discretionary AUM next quarter, likely eliminating the non-discretionary category. This adjustment will substantially lower reported non-discretionary and total AUM on a one-time basis without any revenue effect. We seek to provide investors with a clearer picture of the discretionary AUM and economics that drive our business. While revenue was flat year over year, reflecting average AUM levels weighed down by first-quarter outflows, we enter the third quarter with discretionary AUM meaningfully above the level that drove second-quarter billing.<\/p>\n

Our institutional pipeline has grown substantially and remains robust, particularly in our Global and International Equity strategies, which continue to deliver exceptional performance. This week, we received and are investing an AUS$500 million (~$351 million) contribution to our Global Value strategy. That strategy now manages $2.5 billion. Silvercrest’s institutional business now stands at $9.8 billion in AUM, up from $8.7 billion at the end of the first quarter. Our OCIO business, which the firm built from inception, now manages $2.9 billion.<\/p>\n

We have made significant progress on our global infrastructure and distribution build-out and are entering the revenue phase. We expect to complete our MiFID license through the Central Bank of Ireland by the end of the third quarter. With our Australian unit trust established, our UCITS vehicle and European licensing near completion, the administrative and legal costs associated with these initiatives will decline meaningfully as the distribution access they create begins to contribute. We now have achieved important third-party ratings for our strategies and vehicles, and we are working on additional ratings with major global consultants, which we expect to further open institutional distribution channels worldwide.<\/p>\n

We continue to invest in the firm’s talent. Our Dublin head of office and our first Dublin-based portfolio manager join the firm next week, and we look forward to making announcements about these impressive professionals.<\/p>\n

As previously discussed, Silvercrest will continue to adjust our compensation ratio to match compelling opportunities to organically grow the business. Total compensation and benefits expense was $20.5 million, representing 66.6% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2026. As we have consistently communicated, our earnings and Adjusted EBITDA\u00b9 reflect the deliberate cost of the most significant investment program in the firm’s history, and we expect the compensation ratio to remain elevated as these investments mature.<\/p>\n

As previously announced, our shareholders approved an increase in the number of shares issuable under our equity incentive plan. Intellectual capital is Silvercrest’s most important resource, and we intend to imminently make equity grants to the professionals who are building our business and executing our strategy. Attracting and motivating our professionals and working to align their long-term interests with those of our shareholders is fundamental to how we intend to grow the firm and compound value through this investment cycle and beyond.<\/p>\n

Cash and cash equivalents were $20.7 million at June 30, 2026, and we had $9.5 million outstanding under our term loan with City National Bank. Our strong balance sheet continues to support our strategic growth initiatives, our substantial dividend, and ongoing capital returns to shareholders.<\/p>\n

On July 29, 2026, the Company\u2019s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.21 per share of Class A common stock. The dividend will be paid on or about September 18, 2026 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 11, 2026.<\/p>\n
