“2015 was an uneven performance year for Boston Private,” said Clayton G. Deutsch, CEO. “The Private Bank continued to build franchise value and expand its client base across its footprint. However, our Wealth Management businesses came under pressure from sector-based headwinds and client withdrawals. Nevertheless, all of our wealth management businesses took steps to strengthen their positions. Despite near-term challenges, we enter 2016 confident that we have the right team and client offering in place to execute on our goal of being the premier Wealth Management and Private Banking company in our select markets nationally.”

Core Fees and Income

Core Fees and Income decreased 6% year-over-year and linked quarter to $37.1 million reflecting lower levels of AUM and lower Other Banking Fee Income. For the full year 2015, Core Fees and Income increased 13% to $157.1 million, largely due to the acquisition of Banyan Partners, which was completed on October 2, 2014.

AUM increased to $27.6 billion in the fourth quarter, up 1% from $27.4 billion in the third quarter of 2015, reflecting positive market action offset by negative net flows. AUM decreased 8% year-over-year due to negative net flows and negative market action. The Company experienced fourth quarter 2015 AUM net outflows of $543 million, as compared to net outflows of $751 million and $156 million in the third quarter of 2015 and fourth quarter of 2014, respectively.

These additional shares reflect the assumed exercise, conversion, or contingent issuance of dilutive securities. If the additional shares would result in anti-dilution they would be excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation. The potential dilutive shares relate to: unexercised stock options, unvested non-participating restricted stock, and unexercised stock warrants. See Part II. Item 8.
