Review of Third Quarter 2015 Financial Results

Adjusted revenues increased 17% to $103.5 million for the third quarter of 2015 from $88.6 million for the third quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily due to a 14% increase in revenues from AUM or AUA to $85.6 million from $74.9 million in the prior year period.

Total operating expenses in the third quarter of 2015 increased 15% to $95.0 million from $82.6 million in the prior year period. Cost of revenues increased 5% to $41.0 million in the third quarter of 2015 from $39.1 million in the third quarter of 2014 due to the increase in revenue from AUM or AUA. Compensation and benefits increased 26% to $32.7 million in the third quarter of 2015 from $25.8 million in the prior year period due to higher personnel cost from Placemark and Finance Logix. General and administration expenses increased 13% to $15.2 million in the third quarter of 2015 from $13.4 million in the prior year period, due partly to the inclusion of Placemark and Finance Logix.

Income from operations was $8.3 million for the third quarter of 2015 compared to $6.0 million for the third quarter of 2014. Net income attributable to Envestnet, Inc. was $3.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2015 compared to $3.8 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2014. Adjusted EBITDA(1) in the third quarter of 2015 was $19.2 million, compared to $14.7 million in the prior year period. Adjusted Net Income(1) was $9.3 million, compared to $7.9 million in the third quarter of 2014. Adjusted Net Income Per Share(1) was $0.25, compared to $0.21 in the third quarter of 2014.

At September 30, 2015, the Company had $208 million in cash and cash equivalents, and its revolving credit facility was undrawn with $100 million available.

(1) Non-GAAP Financial Measures

“Adjusted revenues” exclude the effect of purchase accounting on the fair value of acquired deferred revenue. Under 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, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization, non-cash compensation expense, restructuring charges and transaction costs, severance, accretion on contingent consideration, fair market value adjustment on contingent consideration, litigation related expense, other income (expense) and pre-tax loss attributable to non-controlling interest.

“Adjusted net income” represents net income before deferred revenue fair value adjustment, non-cash interest expense, non-cash compensation expense, restructuring charges and transaction costs, severance, accretion on contingent consideration, fair-market value adjustment on contingent consideration, litigation related expense, other income (expense), amortization of acquired intangibles, and net loss attributable to non-controlling interest. Reconciling items, excluding non-deductible transaction costs, are tax effected using an income tax rate of 40% for all periods presented.

“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. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for revenues, net income or net income per share determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
