Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2016

  • Adjusted revenues(1) were $28.9 million for the period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $3.0 million for the period.

Non-Segment

Non-segment expenses totaled $8.3 million for the first quarter of 2016, up from $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2015. Non-segment expenses were 6% of consolidated operating expenses for the first quarter of 2016, compared to 3% of consolidated operating expenses for the first quarter of 2015. The increase in expense was primarily due to an increase in non-cash compensation expense, an increase in restructuring and transaction related costs and a decrease in fair market value adjustments to contingent consideration.

At March 31, 2016, Envestnet had $36.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $51.7 million at December 31, 2015.

(1) Non-GAAP Financial Measures

“Adjusted revenues” exclude the effect of purchase accounting on the fair value of acquired deferred revenue. Under United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we record at fair value the acquired deferred revenue for contracts in effect at the time the entities were acquired. Consequently, revenue related to acquired entities for periods subsequent to the acquisition does not reflect the full amount of revenue that would have been recorded by these entities had they remained stand-alone entities.

“Adjusted EBITDA” represents net income before deferred revenue fair value adjustment, interest income, interest expense, accretion on contingent consideration, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization, non-cash compensation expense, restructuring charges and transaction costs, severance, fair market value adjustment on contingent consideration, litigation related expense, foreign currency and related hedging activity, other loss and pre-tax loss attributable to non-controlling interest.

“Adjusted net income” represents net income before deferred revenue fair value adjustment, accretion on contingent consideration, non-cash interest expense, non-cash compensation expense, restructuring charges and transaction costs, severance, amortization of acquired intangibles, fair market value adjustment on contingent consideration, litigation related expense, foreign currency and related hedging activity, other loss and net loss attributable to non-controlling interest. Reconciling items are presented gross of tax, and a normalized tax rate is applied to the total of all reconciling items to arrive at adjusted net income. The reconciling items, and resulting adjusted net income, are presented on a different basis than historically shown to eliminate the impact of quarterly volatility of the GAAP tax provision (benefit) on the Company’s adjusted earnings figures.

“Adjusted net income per share” represents adjusted net income divided by the diluted number of weighted-average shares outstanding.

See reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures at the end of this press release. Reconciliations are not provided for guidance on such measures as the Company is unable to predict the amounts to be adjusted. The Company’s Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be viewed as a substitute for revenues, net income or net income per share determined in accordance with GAAP.
