Review of Third Quarter 2014 Financial Results

Adjusted revenues increased 27% to $88.6 million for the third quarter of 2014 from $69.9 million for the third quarter of 2013. The increase was primarily due to a 26% increase in revenues from AUM or AUA to $74.9 million from $59.6 million in the prior year period.

Total operating expenses increased 21% to $82.6 million in the third quarter of 2014 from $68.1 million in the third quarter of 2013. Cost of revenues increased 30% to $39.1 million in the third quarter of 2014 from $30.2 million in the third quarter of 2013 due to the increase in revenue from AUM or AUA and a higher mix of AUM products which carry a relatively high cost of revenue. Compensation and benefits increased 23% to $25.8 million in the third quarter of 2014 from $21.1 million in the prior year period primarily due to an increase in headcount to support growth in the business. General and administration expenses increased 12% to $13.4 million in the third quarter of 2014 from $12.0 million in the prior year period.

Income from operations was $6.0 million for the third quarter of 2014 compared to $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2013. Net income attributable to Envestnet, Inc. was $3.8 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2014 compared to $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA(1) in the third quarter of 2014 was $14.7 million, compared to $10.0 million in the third quarter of 2013. Adjusted Net Income(1) was $7.9 million, compared to $5.1 million in the third quarter of 2013. Adjusted Net Income Per Share(1) was $0.21, compared to $0.14 in the third quarter of 2013.

At September 30, 2014, Envestnet had $105.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and $30.0 million in debt. On October 1, 2014, Envestnet completed its acquisition of Placemark Holdings, Inc. for approximately $66 million in cash.

(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, imputed interest on contingent consideration, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization, non-cash compensation expense, restructuring charges and transaction costs, re-audit related expenses, severance, fair market value adjustment on contingent consideration, litigation related expense, other income and pre-tax loss attributable to non-controlling interest.

“Adjusted net income” represents net income before deferred revenue fair value adjustment, imputed interest on contingent consideration, non-cash compensation expense, restructuring charges and transaction costs, re-audit related expenses, severance, fair market value adjustment on contingent consideration, amortization of acquired intangibles, litigation related expense, other income and net loss attributable to non-controlling interest. Reconciling items are tax effected using the income tax rates noted in the reconciliation table found in this release.

“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 GAAP.
