In the future, Wealthfront envisions providing holistic financial plans through digital solutions using natural language interfaces and financial models. The focus will be on incrementally releasing features that build client trust and enhance the business. Q: Can you clarify the cash management fee rate and its comparison to previous quarters? A: Alan Inberman, CFO, stated that the May end cash management fee rate was 54 basis points, considering the current rate incentives and the Fed funds rate. On an EFFR neutral basis, the rate would have been 56 basis points. The 54 basis points reflect a recent 2 basis point decline in the effective Fed funds rate. For comparison, the quarterly rate was 58 basis points. Q: What are the expectations for profit margins as Wealthfront continues to invest in new initiatives like mortgage lending? A: Alan Inberman, CFO, noted that prior to investing in home lending, EBITDA margins were around 45% to 47%. With the investment, margins are expected to be closer to 40% in the near term. As home lending ramps up, it will have a slightly lower margin profile, but it offers a large addressable market and helps Wealthfront evolve with its clients. The trade-off of margin for growth is considered worthwhile. Q: How is the competitive environment for deposits evolving, and what are the expectations for cash outflow trends? A: David Fortunato, CEO, mentioned that the competitive environment for deposits has become more conservative, with high-yield savings institutions and fintech players adjusting rates. Wealthfront's investor sentiment surveys indicate fluctuating investment sentiment, which impacts cash and investment flows. The company feels confident about its rate positioning and expects favorable cash trends in a stable rate environment, supported by strong cross-product adoption incentives.

Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Alan Imberman said revenue for the quarter was $90.5 million, up 7% year-over-year. Cash management revenue declined 1% to $63.4 million, reflecting a lower annualized cash management fee rate of 58 basis points, down four basis points from the prior year. Imberman said the decline was driven primarily by the lower Fed funds rate and the company’s new cross-product adoption incentive, which affected two months of the quarter. → Will the SpaceX IPO Put These 5 Public Space Stocks Into a Higher Orbit? Investment advisory revenue rose 32% year-over-year to $26.2 million, driven by average investment advisory balances of $50.2 billion, up 34%. The annualized investment advisory fee rate was roughly flat at 21 basis points. Gross profit was $80.5 million, up 6%, with gross margin of 89%, down about one percentage point. Imberman attributed the decline in part to startup expenses tied to Wealthfront Home Lending, higher money movement costs and increased data and other cost-of-revenue expenses. → Alphabet's $80 Billion Offering: Worrisome Dilution or AI Confidence? Total GAAP expenses rose 46% year-over-year to $75.9 million. Adjusted operating expenses, excluding share-based compensation, increased 16% to $58 million, mainly due to higher product development expense, including personnel-related costs and cloud computing expense. Adjusted EBITDA was $37.5 million, down 1% year-over-year, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 41%, down three percentage points. Imberman said the margin performance was consistent with expectations, including continued investment in incentives and the rollout of Home Lending. GAAP net income was $12.8 million, and GAAP earnings per share were $0.07. Total net deposits were $554 million in the quarter. Fortunato said the figure included $577 million in cash management net withdrawals in April, primarily due to tax seasonality. He said the outcome was in line with the company’s prior expectation that April cash management net withdrawals would exceed the $538 million recorded in April of the previous year. Looking more broadly at March and April, which Wealthfront refers to as tax season, Fortunato said the company estimates clients made more than $3 billion in combined tax payments from Wealthfront cash accounts and linked external accounts. Clients directly paid tax authorities more than $500 million from Wealthfront cash accounts during tax season, up 40% year-over-year. Fortunato said the company views tax payments from cash accounts as a sign of growing trust in its liquidity offerings. He also pointed to increased use of Wealthfront’s Portfolio Line of Credit, saying tax payments funded with PLOC balances were up roughly two times year-over-year. The company recently introduced dynamic withdrawal limits, increasing client-specific limits up to $1 million per account. Fortunato said the higher limits allowed more clients to satisfy tax obligations in a single payment from cash accounts. Management highlighted early results from a cross-product adoption incentive launched in early March. The program gives clients who direct deposit at least $1,000 per month and fund an investment account an ongoing 25-basis-point increase to their cash APY. Fortunato said the incentive directly led to more than 4,000 new account openings and helped push asset-weighted cross-product adoption to about 63% as of the end of May, up roughly 1.5 percentage points from the level immediately before launch at the end of February. During the question-and-answer session, Fortunato said clients adopting the direct deposit incentive tend to bring “a few thousand dollars more” on an average net deposit basis. He also said recent cohorts that start with cash are adopting investment accounts at higher rates than before. In response to an analyst question about the economics of the incentive, Imberman said it was too early to provide specific payback periods, but noted that Wealthfront remains profitable on clients using the incentive because they bring cash management assets and investment advisory revenue. Wealthfront Home Lending added a second takeout investor during the quarter and launched general availability in Colorado in early April and Texas in early May. Fortunato said the company is applying a similar strategy to home lending as it has in cash and investing: using technology to deliver a digital experience, better rates and transparent fees. Fortunato said Wealthfront continues to aim to provide mortgage rates at least 50 basis points better than the national average on average in the states where it operates. He said rate lock volume increased roughly 25% month-over-month in May despite rising mortgage rates. Management said the rollout remains deliberate as the company gathers data and improves automation. Fortunato said the company is focused on automating decisioning for client pre-qualifications, from application intake through approval. In Q&A, he noted that higher mortgage rates may require the company to expand more broadly to generate enough volume for product learnings, while also shifting demand toward purchase activity and away from refinancing. Wealthfront published May metrics showing total platform assets reached another month-end record of $99 billion. Total net deposits in May were $447 million, including $342 million in investment advisory and $140 million in cash management. Imberman said May also produced the strongest month in total cross-product flow from cash to investing since January 2026. The company repurchased 3.1 million shares for roughly $27 million during the quarter under a $100 million share repurchase authorization, at an average price of $8.66 per share. Wealthfront ended the quarter with $428 million in cash and cash equivalents, excluding temporary client funding receivables. Management also addressed artificial intelligence, with Fortunato saying AI has played and will continue to play a role in Wealthfront’s goal of automating and improving the personal finance experience. He said the company is entering a phase of experimenting and testing AI solutions with clients, while emphasizing that any new tools must support client trust. “It’s not very difficult to build tools using large language models that provide automated financial advice to clients,” Fortunato said during Q&A. “What is more difficult and more important from our perspective is to use those tools in a way that achieves the trust-building objectives that we have.” Wealthfront (NASDAQ:WLTH) is a technology-driven wealth management firm that provides automated investment services to individual investors. Operating as a robo-advisor, the company uses algorithms and software to construct and manage diversified portfolios largely composed of low-cost exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

The difference between revenue growth and Total Platform Asset growth was due to stronger growth in Investment Advisory Assets versus that of higher-fee Cash Management Assets. Investment Advisory Assets of $51.7 billion, which were up 39% year-over-year and Cash Management Assets of $44.9 billion, which were up 3% year-over-year. Total Platform Asset growth included Total Net Deposits of $0.6 billion in the quarter. Funded Clients of 1.46 million grew 15% year-over-year. Funded Accounts of 1.90 million also grew 15% year-over-year. GAAP expenses of $75.9 million increased from $51.9 million in the prior year quarter, with the increase due primarily to higher stock-based compensation (SBC) expense and higher product development expense. SBC expense was $17.1 million in the quarter versus $1.9 million in the prior year quarter, with this increase due primarily to the recognition of dual-trigger stock awards following the IPO. Adjusted operating expenses of $58.0 million increased 16% year-over-year primarily due to higher adjusted product development expense. The increase in adjusted product development expense was primarily due to higher personnel-related expenses which were, primarily due to increased headcount, and higher cloud computing expense. GAAP diluted net income of $12.8 million decreased from $25.9 million in the prior year quarter with the decline due to higher GAAP expenses as a result of higher SBC expense from the recognition of dual-trigger stock awards following the IPO. GAAP diluted net income margin was 14%, a decrease from 31% in the prior year quarter driven primarily by the same SBC impact noted above. GAAP diluted EPS was $0.07 compared to $0.18 in the prior year quarter driven primarily by higher SBC expense tied to the recognition of dual-trigger stock awards following the IPO. Adjusted EBITDA1 of $37.5 million declined 1% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA margin1 was 41%, compared to 45% for the prior year quarter. Net cash provided by operating activities was $22.7 million and Adjusted free cash flow1 was $42.7 million. Adjusted free cash flow conversion ratio1 was 114% for the three months ended April 30, 2026. 1 Non-GAAP measure. Wealthfront’s reasons for use of the non-GAAP measure and a detailed reconciliation between the non-GAAP measure and the comparable GAAP amount are included at the end of this document in the section labeled ‘Non-GAAP Reconciliations’. F1Q27 Business Highlights Launched a cross-product adoption incentive in early March to deepen client relationships. This incentive provides clients that direct deposit at least $1,000 per month as well as fund an investment account with an ongoing 25 basis point increase to their Cash Account annual percentage yield (APY). This helped drive asset-weighted cross-product adoption to roughly 62.5% at the end of the quarter, up over one percentage point quarter-over-quarter and aided in the strongest quarter of investment account sign-ups since the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2025. Launched general availability of Wealthfront Home Lending in Colorado in early April and Texas in early May. Wealthfront Home Lending intends to deliver a better digital home mortgage experience with below market rates and transparent fees. By building a fully digital product, removing unnecessary steps, and automating away most overhead, Wealthfront Home Lending aims to consistently offer rates at least 50 basis points below the national average. During the quarter, we onboarded a second takeout investor, creating multi-investor support and more options to secure low rates for our clients. Bolstered the Cash Management account experience with the launch of Cash Category Goals and recurring Cash-to-Category transfers. Cash Category Goals allow clients to more easily track their progress towards personalized financial targets within specific Cash sub-accounts. Our new recurring Cash-to-Category transfers feature provides clients another option to better achieve their goals on an automated basis. Added one-tap-to-invest to the Stock Investing Account to streamline the purchase and sale of individual stocks and ETFs. The Stock Investing Account remains one of the most popular investment accounts among younger clients. The improved Stock Investing Account along with the Automated Investing Account, Automated Bond Portfolios, Automated Bond Ladders, and direct index offerings represent a robust suite of investment products that provide both delegator and self-directed clients a broad set of options across a variety of macroeconomic environments.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond Wealthfront’s control. Wealthfront’s actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors. Further information on potential risks that could affect actual results is included in Wealthfront’s most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 filed with the SEC on April 24, 2026 and our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, copies of which may be obtained by visiting Wealthfront’s Investor Relations website at https://ir.wealthfront.com or the SEC's website at https://www.sec.gov.

Wealthfront undertakes no intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Wealthfront’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Additional Information We announce material information to the public through filings with the SEC, the investor relations page on our website (ir.wealthfront.com), press releases, public conference calls, public webcasts, and our social media accounts on X and LinkedIn in order to achieve broad, non-exclusionary distribution of information to the public and for complying with our disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. The content of our websites and information that we may post on or provide to online and social media channels, including those mentioned above, and information that can be accessed through our websites or these online and social media channels are not incorporated by reference into this presentation or in any report or document we file with the SEC, and any references to our websites or these online and social media channels are intended to be inactive textual references only. Non-GAAP Financial Measures We collect and analyze operating and financial data to evaluate the health of our business, allocate our resources, and assess our performance. In addition to total revenue, net income (loss) and other results under GAAP, we utilize non-GAAP calculations of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), excluding: (i) interest expenses, (ii) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation expense, (v) change in fair value of the convertible note, warrant liabilities, and SAFEs, and (vi) nonrecurring expenses, if any. The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, are not driven by core results of operations and render comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as providing a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Moreover, we have included Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in this press release because they are key measurements used by our management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluate performance, identify trends affecting our business and perform strategic planning and annual budgeting. Adjusted Free Cash Flow reflects net cash provided from operating activities, less (i) purchases of property, software, and equipment and (ii) capitalized internally developed software, plus (i) the change in temporary client funding receivables, which include (a) the change in direct deposit receivables and (b) the change in instant withdrawal receivables. We believe Adjusted Free Cash Flow allows investors to evaluate the cash generated from our underlying operations in a manner similar to the method used by management. However, the utility of Adjusted Free Cash Flow as a measure of our liquidity is limited as it does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for a given period. Adjusted Free Cash Flow Conversion reflects 1) Adjusted Free Cash Flow divided by 2) Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted Operating Expenses reflect GAAP operating expenses, less (i) stock-based compensation expense and (ii) nonrecurring expenses, if any. The above items are excluded from our Adjusted Operating Expenses because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, are not driven by core results of operations and render comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. Please refer to the Appendix for a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure presented herein to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Key Business Metrics Platform assets: We define “platform assets” as the total value of financial assets held by clients in their accounts as of a stated date on our platform. Net deposits and changes in value attributable to financial market performance are included in the change in platform assets in any given period. We further break down platform assets into two categories of products: cash management and investment advisory. Net deposits: We define “net deposits” as the value of all assets clients have placed into products on our platform, net of withdrawals, over a defined period of time. We exclude changes in value attributable to financial market performance from this metric. We view net deposits as an important barometer of our ability to scale and grow organically and accumulate assets onto our platform. We view the relevant metric as net deposits on a platform-wide basis, not by individual product. Although net deposits can vary by product based on the economic environment, total net deposits provides a more comprehensive view of our growth because our platform offers diverse financial products that are designed to perform under a wide range of economic conditions, allowing the business to maintain resilience and increase total platform assets across market cycles and through extraordinary events. Funded clients: We define “funded clients” as clients with balances greater than zero or that have been greater than zero on at least one occasion during the 45 consecutive calendar days ending as of the measurement date. Funded clients include clients with a zero balance across all accounts as of the measurement date if they had greater than zero balances in at least one account within 45 calendar days prior to the measurement date. Individuals who shared funded joint accounts are each considered to be a separate funded client. The number of funded clients is as of a stated date and reflects our scale and monetization potential.

Good day everyone, thank you for standing by. Welcome to Wealthfront's first quarter 2027 earnings conference call. At this time, all participants are in a listen only mode. After the presentation, there will be a question and answer session. To ask a question, you will need to press star one one on your telephone. You will hear a message advising your hand is raised. To withdraw the question, please press star one one again. Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. It's my pleasure to hand the conference to the Vice President of Investor Relations, Matthew Moon. Please proceed.

Matthew Moon

Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us today to discuss Wealthfront's fiscal first quarter 2027 financial results, which reflect the quarter ended April 30th, 2026. On the line are David Fortunato, our Chief Executive Officer and President, and Alan Imberman, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. After prepared remarks, we will open the line for Q&A. During the course of today's call, we may make forward-looking statements as defined under applicable securities laws. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and the company can give no assurance that they will be or prove to be correct.

Matthew Moon

To better understand the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ, we refer you to the documents that Wealthfront files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent Form 10-Q. Our discussion today will include certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute or in isolation from GAAP measures. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP measures can be found in our press release accompanying this call, which is posted to our investor relations website at ir.wealthfront.com. With that, I'll turn the call over to David.

David Fortunato

Good afternoon, everyone. In our fiscal first quarter 2027, we continued to deliver on our objective of becoming the leading tech-driven platform for digital natives seeking to turn their savings into wealth. We believe we make the best practices of personal finance accessible at low fees through automation, and intuitive and convenient through user-friendly design. At scale, this drives high margins, allowing us to share savings with clients, creating and engendering trust, driving asset retention and low-cost word-of-mouth growth, which once again drives high margins.

David Fortunato

This flywheel enables us to reinvest in and enhance our core cash management and investment advisory product offerings, supports our organic build-out of Wealthfront Home Lending and future product innovations, and most importantly, helps our clients save more on every paycheck, earn higher returns on their savings, and borrow at lower rates. In other words, grow their wealth. We remain grounded in our belief that the best way to build deep, long-term client relationships is to continue to delight clients by offering them more value than they can find anywhere else and focusing on their long-term financial outcomes.

David Fortunato

This informs our product development strategy and keeps us focused on our roadmap regardless of short-term market conditions. At quarter end, total platform assets grew 19% year-over-year to a record $96.6 billion, with investment advisory assets of $51.7 billion up 39% year-over-year, and cash management assets of $44.9 billion up 3% year-over-year. We ended the quarter at roughly 1.46 million funded clients, up 15% year-over-year, and roughly 1.9 million funded accounts, also up 15% year-over-year, reflecting 1.3 funded accounts per funded client. Total net deposits in the quarter were $554 million.

David Fortunato

This includes $577 million in cash management net withdrawals in April, primarily due to tax seasonality. Recall, our clients are net cash taxpayers, highlighting the attractive financial profile of our average client. This monthly result was consistent with the expectation we set last quarter for cash management net withdrawals in April of this year to exceed the $538 million in net withdrawals realized in April of last year.

David Fortunato

These are, of course, net figures and specific to activity realized directly on our platform. Looking more broadly, this March and April, a period we refer to as tax season, we estimate our clients made over $3 billion in combined tax payments from their Wealthfront cash accounts and from their linked external accounts, with the latter including amounts that were initially withdrawn from Wealthfront accounts prior to tax payment, in addition to payments from funds held in linked accounts.

David Fortunato

Clients directly paid tax authorities over $500 million from their Wealthfront cash accounts during the year's tax season, up 40% year-over-year, indicating growing trust in our liquidity offerings. This has likely been the result of significant investment into our platform over the years made to deliver positive tax time experiences to our clients. For example, clients increasingly utilized our leading low-cost Portfolio Line of Credit, or PLOC rates, in order to fund tax obligations, with tax dollar payments funded with PLOC balances up roughly two times year-over-year.

David Fortunato

We also recently invested in dynamic withdrawal limits, increasing client-specific limits up to $1 million per account. These new client-specific limits enabled more of our clients to fully satisfy their tax obligations in a single tax payment out of their cash accounts, strengthening our position as an attractive primary operating account option for our clients. It might be counterintuitive, but we want our clients to pay their taxes from their cash accounts given our ability to drive delightful tax time experiences. Which we believe will lead to us receiving a disproportionate share of their future savings over time.

David Fortunato

We've also experienced strong uptake in our cross-product adoption incentive launched in early March. Recall, this incentive provides clients who direct deposit at least $1,000 per month and also fund an investment account with an ongoing 25 basis point increase to their cash APY. This directly led to over 4,000 new account openings and helped drive asset-weighted cross-product adoption to roughly 63% as of May end, up one and a half percentage points versus the level realized immediately prior to launch at February end.

David Fortunato

In the early days, we've also been encouraged by the fact that on average, new adopters of the incentive have consistently brought on a notably larger amount of net deposits in each month since launch than that of similar clients that have not adopted the incentive. We also continuously invest in our core products. In cash management, we launched Cash Category Goals and recurring cash to category transfers. Cash Category Goals allow clients to more easily track their progress towards personalized financial targets within specific cash sub-accounts.

David Fortunato

Our new recurring cash to category transfer feature provides clients another option to better achieve those goals on an automated basis. On investment accounts, we shipped one-tap-to-invest in the Stock Investing Account to streamline the purchase and sale of individual stocks and ETFs as we continue to transition this account to a more traditional brokerage offering. Wealthfront Home Lending added a second takeout investor in the quarter and launched general availability in Colorado in early April and in Texas in early May.

David Fortunato

As a reminder, we're running a similar playbook for home lending that we have successfully deployed in our cash and investing businesses. That is using technology to deliver a better digital experience and a better rate with transparent fees. While we are still in early days, the initial client feedback and data supports our conviction and our ability to deliver on these objectives. While anecdotal, I'd like to share a couple of specific client comments to bring the experience to life. One of our clients raved about the self-serve capability relative to his prior experiences.

David Fortunato

That is the ability to independently explore the latest mortgage rates without having to call up a mortgage banker or broker every time he wanted to open the fridge, as he described it. Another client enjoyed the ability to track the progress of his application in real time in-app. The fact that our application process can be handled entirely through mobile completely end to end is a differentiator, and we've seen more than half of Wealthfront Home Lending clients interacting with the flow via mobile.

David Fortunato

This is all while continuing to deliver on our objective of providing clients home mortgage rates at least 50 basis points better than the national average on average in the states in which we operate today. As we noted last quarter, we are deliberately rolling this service out at a measured pace in order to maximize learnings to optimize long-term client outcomes. The fact that we've been able to increase rate lock volume by roughly 25% month-over-month in May amidst this build-out is a feat that I'm particularly proud of, especially in the face of rising mortgage rates.

David Fortunato

Currently, we are focused on automating the decisioning process of client pre-qualifications, starting from the application intake process all the way through approval. We plan to share more details with you all in the coming quarters. Taking a step back, since the early days of Wealthfront, we have been saying that we can utilize technology to provide digital advisory solutions at a level similar to or better than traditional solutions provided by financial advisors. AI has, and will certainly continue to play a role in achieving this goal.

David Fortunato

We're confident in our ability to continue to build solutions, including AI solutions, that automate and improve the personal financial experience for our clients, so long as they continue to build client trust. In order to determine which AI solutions best achieve our trust and wealth-building goals, we need to experiment and test these solutions with our clients. We are entering that phase now and will share more with you over time as we learn more. With that, I'd like to turn it over to Alan to go over the financials.

Alan Imberman

Thanks, David. Starting with the income statement. Revenue came in at $90.5 million, up 7% year-over-year. Cash management revenue was $63.4 million, down 1% year-over-year due to a lower annualized cash management fee rate of 58 basis points, down four basis points year-over-year, and within the expected 57-58 basis point range we had communicated last quarter. The lower fee rate was partially offset by higher average cash management balances measured as the simple average of beginning and end-of-quarter figures, up 5% year-over-year to $45.1 billion.

Alan Imberman

The year-over-year decline in the annualized cash management fee rate was driven primarily by the fee rate lost in converting APYs to an APR, given the lower Fed funds rate, as well as the new cross-product adoption incentive introduced in early March that impacted two months of the quarter. As David noted, we estimate that in the first few months in market, this incentive has notably increased net deposits brought to the platform from new adopters relative to similar non-adopters, reflecting early success in deepening relationships with adopted clients.

Alan Imberman

To help inform your models, the run rate annualized cash management fee rate at May end was 54 basis points. On an EFFR neutral basis, the run rate annualized cash management fee rate at May end was 56 basis points. The 54 basis points, however, includes the recent impact of the effective fed funds rate declining by two basis points within its target range, with this decline having started on May 7th.

Alan Imberman

Investment advisory revenue was $26.2 million, up 32% year-over-year, primarily due to average investment advisory balances of $50.2 billion, up 34% year-over-year, while the annualized investment advisory fee rate of 21 basis points was roughly flat versus the same period last year. Asset growth was driven by both strong markets and net deposits over the trailing 12-month timeframe. Gross profit was $80.5 million, up 6% year-over-year, reflecting a gross profit margin of 89%, down roughly one percentage point year-over-year, due in part to start-up expenses associated with Wealthfront Home Lending, higher money movement costs, and higher data and other cost of revenue expenses.

Alan Imberman

Total GAAP expenses of $75.9 million were up 46% year-over-year, which recall, does not incorporate an apples-to-apples comparison of share-based compensation, as share-based compensation prior to the IPO did not incorporate dual trigger RSU expense, given that the second of the two dual trigger conditions was not satisfied until the IPO occurred. Adjusted operating expenses, that is, expenses excluding share-based compensation, were $58 million, up 16% year-over-year, due primarily to higher product development expense.

Alan Imberman

The adjusted product development expense increase was due to higher personnel-related expenses, primarily increased headcount, and higher cloud computing expense. Adjusted EBITDA of $37.5 million was down 1% year-over-year and reflected an adjusted EBITDA margin of 41%, down three percentage points year-over-year, consistent with the expectations that we communicated last quarter, including the impact of continued investment into incentives and to rolling out Home Lending.

Alan Imberman

We continue to demonstrate significant operational and financial discipline, delivering a Rule of 40 metric of 49 for the quarter. This is our 15th consecutive quarter exceeding the Rule of 40 and underscores a business model designed to successfully and consistently balance top-line growth with structural efficiencies of our automated platform. GAAP net income was $12.8 million, and GAAP earnings per share was $0.07. Taking a moment on share count, our GAAP weighted average diluted shares outstanding in the quarter was 175.5 million.

Alan Imberman

This includes the impact of 3.1 million open market repurchases executed throughout the quarter, as well as the treasury method impact of outstanding RSUs and options. The future impact of these awards on our diluted share count for the purposes of reporting GAAP financials may fluctuate meaningfully period to period depending on our average share price in those periods. We've provided a table in the back of our presentation to illustrate what our GAAP weighted average diluted share count could have been in the first quarter under different average share prices, with important caveats noted on that page.

Alan Imberman

Beyond share price, our GAAP weighted average diluted share count in future periods would be impacted by new grants, forfeitures, and the change in unamortized stock-based compensation expense. Net cash provided by operating activities was $22.7 million, and adjusted free cash flow was $42.7 million. This results in an adjusted free cash flow conversion ratio, that is, adjusted free cash flow as a percentage of adjusted EBITDA of 114%. Our robust cash flow generation and significant proceeds raised through the IPO helped facilitate the recent transition of our clients' cash accounts to a new bank provider.

Alan Imberman

This bank provider unlocked the ability to administer the higher client-specific withdrawal limits of up to 1 million that David mentioned, which led to improved tax time outcomes for our clients. As a result of this transition, we now initially fund our clients' early direct deposit payments and are subsequently reimbursed when the client receives their direct deposit at most, just two days later. Therefore, this quarter and going forward, we will be presenting free cash flow adjusted for this change in direct deposit receivables in combination with the change in funded instant withdrawal receivables, given that both activities have no impact to our cash profitability but will continue to impact quarter-end figures simply due to timing.

Alan Imberman

The early direct deposit, in particular, consistently occurs in larger quantities near typical pay cycles, including at the end of each month. The cumulative change in these short-term receivables was $21 million quarter-over-quarter. Once again, this does not have a material impact to the cash profitability of the business but does provide our clients with additional days of interest income generation at our leading APY. Looking ahead, recall we pay out 35% of accrued annual cash bonuses to our employees each July.

Alan Imberman

We anticipate a lower adjusted free cash flow conversion ratio in the fiscal second quarter relative to this quarter. In March, we received board authorization for a $100 million share repurchase program. During the fiscal first quarter 2027, we repurchased 3.1 million shares for roughly $27 million as part of this repurchase program at an average price of $8.66 per share. We are comfortable deploying our cash for share repurchases because of our robust free cash flow generation, our debt-free capital structure, as well as the multi-decade opportunity to compound wealth with new and existing clients who are in the wealth accumulation phase of their lives.

Alan Imberman

Even with the strong repurchase activity, we ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $428 million, which excludes the receipt of temporary client funding receivables referenced earlier. As a reminder, our long-term capital priorities are to invest in organic product-led growth, including in infrastructure and automation, to evaluate opportunities to repurchase shares, and to assess M&A with a preference to build versus buy. Any remaining capital would be added to our surplus reserves in order to bolster resilience and durability. Closing with current trends. Today we published May metrics. Total platform assets ended May at another month-end record of $99 billion.

Alan Imberman

Total net deposits were $447 million, including $342 million in investment advisory and $140 million in cash management. The continued resilience and positive market sentiment in May drove the strongest month in total cross-product flow from cash to invest since January 2026, helping drive asset-weighted cross-product adoption to roughly 63%, up roughly one and a half percentage points since February end, immediately prior to the launch of the Cross-Product Adoption Incentive.

Alan Imberman

Looking ahead, while we remain in a dynamic macro backdrop, we have built a diverse product suite that allows our clients to build wealth through a multitude of environments. We make money when our clients do, and this product suite, as well as continued organic investments, puts us in a strong position to continue to grow with our clients over the long term. With that, let's move to Q&A.

Operator

Thank you. As a reminder, to ask a question, simply press star one one on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced. To remove yourself, press star one one again. One moment for our first question. Comes from Devin Ryan with Citizens JMP. Please proceed.

Devin Ryan

Great. Thanks. Good afternoon, everyone. First question on the new cross-product adoption incentive. Good to hear about some of the early uptake, 4,000 account openings related to that. That's about 10% of the new account growth in the quarter. Just love to hear about how the marketing is going for that and whether you could maybe lean in more to accelerate that element of new accounts. If you can also just give us a sense of how much more cash these customers are bringing on platform relative to the average since you guys highlighted that as well. Thanks.

David Fortunato

Hey, Devin. Yeah, thanks for the question. May was a good month for client acquisition on a relative basis, and we saw good positive trends in client acquisition. I think the two key top-of-funnel drivers were the direct deposit incentive. On top of the kind of natural growth from the direct deposit incentive, I would add that we tend to see a few thousand dollars more on an average net deposit basis from clients who adopt the direct deposit incentive. On an aggregate, recent cohorts who start with cash are adopting investment accounts at a higher rate than they have been.

David Fortunato

That's been a number that's been improving for over the last six months on a monthly cohort basis. That's been great to see. The other thing that we've noticed is elevated organic traffic from large language models that are referencing Wealthfront as a solution to folks that are engaging. The elevated traffic has also been a positive change for getting clients on board and coming in as sort of warm leads to Wealthfront.

Devin Ryan

Got it. Thanks. As a follow-up, just big picture on AI, you kind of alluded to looking at obviously potential opportunities over time, and it would be great just to hear a little bit more about the strategy and what we should expect in the coming quarters. Are there specific products that you’ll be launching, or is it more just more deeply integrating AI into what you’re already doing? Obviously appreciate you have a culture of automation and a lot of what you’re doing is already effectively connected to AI, but would love to hear more about kind of client-facing or products that are tailored around that and whether we should expect anything in the coming quarters around that. Thanks.

David Fortunato

Yeah. The first thing I would say is the base and foundation of our business is client trust and growing client trust in Wealthfront and our offerings. When clients think about their futures, we want to make sure that everything that we do builds trust as the technology capabilities and what we're able to offer clients evolve. I would say it's not very difficult to build tools using large language models that provide automated financial advice to clients. What is more difficult and more important from our perspective is to use those tools in a way that achieves the trust-building objectives that we have.

David Fortunato

I think if you look a number of years down the road the expectation that we have would be the [great] solution can provide a using a natural language interface and a variety of financial models a holistic financial plan for a client day they can talk a client through difficult scenario they can help with tax they can help with estate and trust planning.

David Fortunato

Some of those capabilities we have today some of those capabilities that will need in the future but when we think about that future what were going to do is as we build toward we believe is long term solution focus on identifying areas where we can both build client trust and improve the business along the way to get those solution out to clients incrementally we're thinking about sort of the value of the integral of the features that we release over time and maximizing that along the path.

Devin Ryan

Understood. Great color, David. Thanks so much. Appreciate it.

David Fortunato

Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. Our next question comes from Dan Perlin with RBC Capital Markets. Please proceed.

Dan Perlin

Thanks. Good evening. Alan, I just wanted to make sure I heard you correctly. You said the May end cash management fee was running around 54 basis points, as it takes into consideration, I think current rate incentives then thinks the Fed funds kind of curve. Is that equivalent to the 58 basis points that you guys just posted or are we closer to the 56 basis points that you also referenced? I just want to make sure I fully appreciate what you're trying to tell us there.

Alan Imberman

Yeah. Hey, Dan. What I was referencing is, yes, what we would calculate May revenue on would have been a 54 basis points effective annualized cash fee rate. You have to recall, the color there was that the Fed funds dropped two basis points, on an EFFR neutral basis, had that not dropped on May 7th is when the first drop happened, it would have been a 56 basis points. If you were trying to compare the 58 basis points for the quarter, you would want to compare it to 56 since there was no EFFR drop during the quarter. That's on a more comparable basis. Yes, it's a comparable number in terms of its representation.

Dan Perlin

Got it. Yep. No, that's super helpful. Can you guys also just dovetailing on some of the last kind of questions that were asked, the payback period as you think about these incentives that you put in the market, obviously you've talked about clients coming in with higher balances, and to that extent, I would suspect they're fairly sticky. I'm just wondering what's the payback period, or is that even a measurement stick that you guys think about just at these levels? Thank you.

David Fortunato

I think it's too early to get into specifics of how we would look at the payback period. Again, we're profitable on these clients that are coming in because a 25 basis point incentive on the cash management assets were still making.

Alan Imberman

Thirty

David Fortunato

30-ish basis point fee on the cash that they're bringing on the platform. We're driving cross-product adoption, there's an investment advisory revenue piece associated with it. We're still profitable bringing these clients on board even with the incentive. As they're growing faster, both in cash and investing, we would expect that that pays back in the future, too early to get into specifics of that payback time.

Dan Perlin

Okay. Nope, that's great. It's clearly working. Okay. Thank you very much.

Operator

One moment for our next question, please. It comes from Ryan Tomasello with KBW. Please proceed.

Ryan Tomasello

Hi, everyone. This one's for Alan. I guess last quarter you provided some guardrails on near-term margin expectations. Any update you can provide there? I guess zooming out as you balance continued investment in the core brokerage platform and also newer initiatives like mortgage, how are you thinking about the path of margins over the next several years? Specifically, the key milestones or timing we should be watching for a return to positive operating leverage in the business. Thanks.

Alan Imberman

Ryan. I would say that nothing has really changed since what we provided last quarter which was before kind of really heavily investing in getting closer to rolling out home lending, we were in the kind of 45%-47% EBITDA margins. As we invest in that, we expected margins to get closer to 40%, and that seems to be the case here for the near term. It's hard to talk about future milestones and timing going forward because obviously the momentum we're going to have with home lending is somewhat rate dependent, as I'm sure you appreciate.

Alan Imberman

What we did and have been consistent in talking about is as that ramps up and does become steady state, it is a slightly lower margin profile, and it takes a while to get to kind of steady state in the way we look at it. We would expect margins to be lower than kind of what they were prior to Wealthfront Home Lending as we get in that steady state environment. What it does is it opens up a bunch of different things for Wealthfront.

Alan Imberman

One, it's a great dynamic macro hedge in low rate environment. It offers a large total addressable market. Even better, it helps us evolve with our clients and gives them an opportunity, again, to share the savings with them that we can get by doing a totally digital automated experience. There's obviously the trade-off of margin for growth. I think we're happy to make that trade.

Ryan Tomasello

Thanks for that. Then, I guess, switching gears more broadly on mortgage. Appreciate the commentary you gave in prepared remarks, can we just double-click on how that rollout and timeline to scaling the mortgage product is tracking relative to the expectations you set out several months ago? I guess any interesting operational learnings that have emerged so far or unexpected bottlenecks. I guess, David, it sounds like the use of the word deliberate and measured pace, I can appreciate just how tactical you're trying to be with getting that right. Just trying to understand how it's tracking relative to the initial guideposts you laid out. Thanks.

David Fortunato

Yeah. I'll start, and then maybe Alan can chime in. I think I used some of the same terms last quarter, I'm not trying to portray a difference there. The environment's changed, right? Rates have gone up. To get the same level of learnings in a higher rate environment, you're going to see more purchase, less refi volume, and you're probably going to have to go a little bit broader a little bit earlier to continue having the volume in the funnel that you want to be able to evaluate the digital experience and the rate benefit that we're giving to clients. I think I mentioned in the prepared remarks that we did 25% month-over-month increase in rate lock volume in May as we started ramping up a little bit. We'll see how the sort of forward macro outlook evolves in the mortgage space.

David Fortunato

We still think there is seasonality that we would expect to see in terms of demand for mortgages kind of industry-wide. We still see our clients purchasing homes and engaging with They're born short one unit of housing, and they need housing, and our clients are in the market. I think there's a lot of learnings that we have around specifics of the flow and our clients. As an example, being able to automate RSU income verification is something that's more important for our client base than it might be for the average mortgage borrower.

David Fortunato

That's something that we're investing in and working on. Ultimately, the goal is to be able to, at scale, deliver a great digital experience and at least 50 basis point better rate than they would get on average. We feel confident in our ability to deliver those things, and we're going to see how the macro environment evolves and how our technology capacity evolves as we start to scale up a little bit more.

Alan Imberman

Yeah. Kind of on the timing. Obviously, when we came up with the timing, it was based on kind of expectations that included potential rate cuts in the forecast. Now there's potential for even a rate increase next year. It's going to be macro-dependent. As David mentioned, counterintuitively, as rates go up, we actually need to expand broader to get more data. That doesn't necessarily mean we get as much uptake because rates are so high and less people are refinancing. It's difficult call to see exactly where we're going to get on timing relative to what we thought, call it six to nine months ago. We're really happy with the progress we are making, and just the long-term nature of this investment and what it will do for our clients and our business.

Ryan Tomasello

Great. Thank you, guys.

Operator

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Jonathan Yarrow with Goldman Sachs. Please proceed.

Speaker 8

Hi. Thanks for taking the question. This is Matthew in for James. Congratulations again on the strong results. Could you please contextualize for us the deposit pricing competition you're seeing in the market today, and how has that evolved over the course of the year and versus your expectations?

David Fortunato

Yeah. I mean, the competitive environment for deposits has changed in the last few months. We've seen high-yield savings institutions, and more of the fintech players be a little bit more conservative on rates. I think that the thing to keep in mind that's important is when we look at our investor sentiment surveys, which we run monthly, we run them towards the end of the month. End of month February investment sentiment was quite good.

David Fortunato

I would say there was a fair amount of uncertainty in the market. People weren't sure, but in general, it was a reasonably positive level of investment sentiment. Late March, we saw a really steep and sharp decline in investment sentiment. We saw part of the way recovery in April and a further recovery in May. When we think about the flows with cash and investing, it's primarily dominated by investor sentiment and changes in investor sentiment. We get some recurring flows into the investment platform through recurring deposits.

David Fortunato

We get recurring flows into the cash platform from both recurring deposits and direct deposits. I would say we feel good about where our rate is. We'll see how effective Fed funds evolves over time. I would point folks to a speech that the New York Fed System Open Market Account manager gave a couple of weeks ago, talking about the supply of reserves in the system and how he's thinking about it, which I think is a useful framework to keep in mind. We've seen less competition from a rate perspective in the past few months.

Speaker 8

Thank you. That's super helpful. Just kind of piggyback on that, how would you think about the cash outflow trends now that rate cuts are pretty much fully out of the forecast for 2026? Would you expect to see less attrition of cash balances? I know you mentioned very strong cross-product adoption.

Alan Imberman

Yeah, I don't know. I would definitely say it's a more favorable environment than one where cuts are happening and expected. I think going back to your previous question too, one of the thing that clients really like about the way we price is that it's predictable. We only change rates when the Fed does, except when we gave back the five basis points previously when rates went up, which is obviously a delightful moment.

Alan Imberman

Relative to the competition, which will change it kind of ad hoc and even within weeks of each other. Some of that I think helps us from a stability perspective, win business and retain business. Directly to your question, obviously in an environment where rates are at a pretty good level and not declining, we would expect to see good trends in cash. May was positive, as a reminder.

Alan Imberman

We do have the cross-product adoption incentive, so we are encouraging that. We're seeing really good results as we laid out in the prepared remarks. We've built the business to be resilient no matter which side of the house clients want to grow their wealth on. We think the environment is conducive for that currently, but obviously, market conditions can change.

Speaker 8

Thank you so much.

Operator

Thank you. One moment for our next question. It comes from Alex Markgraff with KeyBanc Capital Markets. Please proceed.

Alex Markgraff

Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my questions. Just a couple from me. First, just sort of on the client acquisition side of things, I'm curious if there's anything or how we should think about Wealthfront sort of showing up in consideration of private company liquidity events, just as we think about some higher profile or potential higher profile activity this year. Just a question there on the client acquisition side and kind of showing up in the right place around those. Two, just on the incentives, I'm clear the Direct Deposit Incentive. That's a sort of perpetual incentive applied to those accounts. Is there any off-ramp to those? Maybe just in that same vein, how are you thinking about maintaining that incentive, and when might you look to off-ramp and stop offering that?

David Fortunato

We like the way the incentive is performing now. We think it provides a broader ecosystem adoption of Wealthfront. We like the investing flows and the cash flows that it's leading to. We have obviously the ability to change it in the future, but we're not looking to make changes to that incentive at the moment. On your first question, I would say that if you think about what Wealthfront's strategy historically and generally has been, it's to try to help people early in their financial journey, and then as they experience liquidity events or gain wealth over time through savings, we want to help them do the best job that we possibly can in growing their wealth.

David Fortunato

The benefit we have is we have a number of clients who are clients of some of the companies that I suspect you're anticipating having liquidity events this year and next. Our goal is really to grow with them and to help them grow their wealth, both through investing and cash management as we continue to offer more features. We think we'll be able to facilitate growing their wealth for many decades to come. The strategy is quite different than what you might see from a traditional wealth manager trying to acquire clients at a point of wealth generation.

David Fortunato

We're really seeking to acquire clients very early in their journey and then grow with them for the long term. I think we've had some success with the companies that you're thinking of. We'll see how that plays out. I would also just note, though, that most of these companies are going to have lockups that are going to impact the timing of even the possibility of liquidity reaching an outside account.

Alan Imberman

Yeah. I would add too, the nature of those companies. The employees working there who are most likely looking for an experience with their financial solutions, their financial advisor that looks more like what we offer rather than incumbents. I think we're well-positioned from that standpoint of having the products that we have and probably already have many clients, as David mentioned, working at those companies to evangelize us for others as that occurs. We feel good about the position we have there.

Alex Markgraff

Got it. Thank you. I appreciate the thoughtful response.

Operator

Thank you. As I see no further questions in the queue, I will conclude the Q&A session and pass it back to David Fortunato for closing comments.

David Fortunato

Thank you. I want to thank everyone for joining the call and for your continued interest in Wealthfront. We look forward to staying in touch and updating you on our progress in the months ahead. Thank you all, and have a great rest of your day.

Operator

This concludes our conference. Thank you for participating, and you may now disconnect.

Funded Accounts of 1.84 million grew 16% year-over-year. GAAP expenses of $310.7 million compared to $51.8 million in the prior year quarter, with the increase due primarily to higher stock-based compensation (SBC) expense primarily tied to one-time, IPO-related SBC expense of $239.0 million. Adjusted operating expenses of $57.1 million increased 15% year-over-year due to higher product development expense, partially offset by lower marketing expense. GAAP diluted net income (loss) of $(134.8) million compared to $32.1 million in the prior year quarter with the decline due to higher GAAP expenses primarily tied to one-time, IPO-related SBC expense of $239.0 million.

Annual GAAP diluted net income (loss) of $(43.2) million compared to $181.8 million in the prior year due to the one-time impact of IPO-related SBC expense of $239.0 million. Annual GAAP diluted net income margin was (12)%, compared to 59% in the prior year with the decrease primarily driven by the same factors. Annual GAAP diluted EPS was $(0.76) down year-over-year compared to $1.31 in the prior year due primarily to the one-time impact of IPO-related SBC expense. Annual adjusted EBITDA1 of $170.7 million grew 20% year-over-year. Annual adjusted EBITDA margin1 was 47%, compared to 46% for the twelve months ended January 31, 2025. F4Q26 Business Highlights Generated a second consecutive record quarter of net cross account transfers from Cash Management to Investment Advisory amidst a Cash-to-Invest transition environment. This helped drive annualized organic growth2 in Investment Advisory to 11% in the quarter, with monthly annualized organic growth accelerating throughout the period, ending at 15% in January. Increased the base Annual Percentage Yield (APY) on the Wealthfront Cash Account by five basis points to 3.30% effective January 30, 2026, as a result of the effective federal funds rate (EFFR) stabilizing at a higher rate within its target range. This industry-leading APY reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to sharing structural efficiencies and higher yields directly with its clients, further bolstering the value proposition of the Wealthfront Cash Account as the primary home for digital native clients' uninvested cash and savings. Launched early access to Wealthfront Home Lending, which is intended to deliver a digitally seamless home mortgage experience with low, transparent rates and no hidden fees. The company began a measured rollout to clients in November, starting in Colorado and having since expanded to Texas and California, with a full rollout in those states as well as early access in additional states expected to come later this year. Rolled out the Wealthfront Treasury Money Market Fund (WLTXX), a proprietary fund intended to improve after-tax returns through a low-risk, highly liquid investment vehicle and offered at a competitive 0.25% expense ratio. The fund invests primarily in U.S. Treasury securities, offering clients a Cash Management option whose interest is generally exempt from state and local taxes. The fund was initially released to select clients in December with a full rollout scheduled to be completed in March. Took further steps in making the Wealthfront Cash account the best cash account experience for young professional savers including the introduction of a comprehensive transaction search function, real-time debit card notifications for both individual and joint accounts, and increased daily withdrawal limits up to $1 million for qualified clients. The company also bolstered the interoperability of the Cash Management and Investment Advisory accounts, including the introduction of auto dividend sweeps from Investment Advisory accounts to Cash Management accounts. 1 Non-GAAP measure.

These forward-looking statements are made as of the date they were first issued and are based on information available to Wealthfront together with Wealthfront’s expectations, estimates, forecasts, projections, beliefs, and assumptions as of such date. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond Wealthfront’s control. Wealthfront’s actual results could differ materially from those stated or implied in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors. Further information on potential risks that could affect actual results is included in Wealthfront’s most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including in our most recent Form 10-Q, copies of which may be obtained by visiting Wealthfront’s Investor Relations website at https://ir.wealthfront.com or the SEC's website at https://www.sec.gov. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Wealthfront undertakes no intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Wealthfront’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Additional Information We announce material information to the public through filings with the SEC, the investor relations page on our website (ir.wealthfront.com), press releases, public conference calls, public webcasts, and our social media accounts on X, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn in order to achieve broad, non-exclusionary distribution of information to the public and for complying with our disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. The content of our websites and information that we may post on or provide to online and social media channels, including those mentioned above, and information that can be accessed through our websites or these online and social media channels are not incorporated by reference into this presentation or in any report or document we file with the SEC, and any references to our websites or these online and social media channels are intended to be inactive textual references only. Non-GAAP Financial Measures We collect and analyze operating and financial data to evaluate the health of our business, allocate our resources, and assess our performance. In addition to total revenue, net income (loss) and other results under GAAP, we utilize non-GAAP calculations of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), excluding: (i) interest expenses, (ii) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation expense, (v) change in fair value of the convertible note, warrant liabilities, and SAFEs, and (vi) nonrecurring expenses, if any. The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, are not driven by core results of operations and render comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as providing a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Moreover, we have included Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in this press release because they are key measurements used by our management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluate performance, identify trends affecting our business and perform strategic planning and annual budgeting. Free Cash Flow reflects net cash provided from operating activities, less (i) purchases of property, software, and equipment and (ii) capitalized internally developed software. We believe Free Cash Flow allows investors to evaluate the cash generated from our underlying operations in a manner similar to the method used by management. However, the utility of Free Cash Flow as a measure of our liquidity is limited as it does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for a given period. Free Cash Flow Conversion reflects 1) Free Cash Flow divided by 2) Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted Operating Expenses reflect GAAP operating expenses, less (i) stock-based compensation expense and (ii) nonrecurring expenses, if any. The above items are excluded from our Adjusted Operating Expenses because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, are not driven by core results of operations and render comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. Please refer to the Appendix for a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure presented herein to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Key Business Metrics Platform assets: We define “platform assets” as the total value of financial assets held by clients in their accounts as of a stated date on our platform. Net deposits and changes in value attributable to financial market performance are included in the change in platform assets in any given period. We further break down platform assets into two categories of products: cash management and investment advisory. Net deposits: We define “net deposits” as the value of all assets clients have placed into products on our platform, net of withdrawals, over a defined period of time. We exclude changes in value attributable to financial market performance from this metric. We view net deposits as an important barometer of our ability to scale and grow organically and accumulate assets onto our platform. We view the relevant metric as net deposits on a platform-wide basis, not by individual product. Although net deposits can vary by product based on the economic environment, total net deposits provides a more comprehensive view of our growth because our platform offers diverse financial products that are designed to perform under a wide range of economic conditions, allowing the business to maintain resilience and increase total platform assets across market cycles and through extraordinary events. Funded clients: We define “funded clients” as clients with balances greater than zero or that have been greater than zero on at least one occasion during the 45 consecutive calendar days ending as of the measurement date. Funded clients include clients with a zero balance across all accounts as of the measurement date if they had greater than zero balances in at least one account within 45 calendar days prior to the measurement date. Individuals who shared funded joint accounts are each considered to be a separate funded client. The number of funded clients is as of a stated date and reflects our scale and monetization potential. Funded accounts: We define “funded accounts” as accounts with balances greater than zero or that have been greater than zero on at least one occasion during the 45 consecutive calendar days ending as of the measurement date. Funded accounts include accounts with a zero balance as of the measurement date if they had greater than zero balances within 45 calendar days prior to the measurement date. A shared funded joint account is considered a single funded account. The number of funded accounts is as of a stated date and reflects our scale and monetization potential. Stock-Based Compensation by Type 1 Average balance rows represent the average of the beginning of period and end of period balances. 2 Annualized cash management fee rate and Annualized investment advisory fee rate is calculated by annualizing revenue for the given period and dividing by the simple average asset balance presented. The following tables present reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP measures disclosed within this document.
