Review of First Quarter 2013 Financial Results

Adjusted revenues increased 43% to $46.8 million for the first quarter of 2013 from $32.6 million for the first quarter of 2012. The increase was primarily due to a 29% increase in revenues from AUM or AUA to $36.3 million from $28.3 million in the prior year period, as well as higher licensing and professional services revenues related to the acquisitions of Tamarac, Inc. and Prima Capital Holding, Inc., both of which closed during the second quarter of 2012.

Total operating expenses in the first quarter of 2013 increased 47% to $46.0 million from $31.4 million in the prior year period. Cost of revenues increased 46% to $16.8 million in the first quarter of 2013 from $11.5 million in the first quarter of 2012 due to the increase in revenue from AUM or AUA and additional cost from acquired businesses. Compensation and benefits increased 61% to $17.2 million in the first quarter of 2013 from $10.7 million in the prior year period due to higher personnel cost from completed acquisitions, as well as higher non-cash compensation expense. General and administration expenses increased 31% to $8.9 million in the first quarter of 2013 from $6.8 million in the prior year period, primarily due to $1.3 million in re-audit related professional fees and ongoing expense from the acquired companies.

Income from operations was $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2012. Net income was $0.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $0.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2012. Adjusted EBITDA(1) in the first quarter of 2013 was $8.2 million, compared to $5.1 million in the prior year period. Adjusted Net Income(1) was $4.1 million, compared to $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2012. Adjusted Net Income Per Share(1) was $0.12 per diluted share, compared to $0.07 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2012.

At March 31, 2013, the Company had $32.2 million in cash with no debt.

Acquisition of Prudential’s Wealth Management Solutions Business

On April 12, 2013, Envestnet announced that it would acquire Prudential’s Wealth Management Solutions (“WMS”) business for $10 million cash upon closing, and up to an additional $23 million in cash over the following three years. The transaction, subject to customary closing conditions, including customer consents, is expected to be completed by early third quarter 2013. Upon completion of the transaction, Envestnet will be the largest independent wealth management platform in the United States, as measured by platform assets. Additionally, the acquisition of WMS further solidifies Envestnet’s leadership position in the bank channel. Once the platform consolidation is complete, which could take a year or more from the closing date, the acquisition should generate financial returns in excess of the Company’s hurdle rates for consolidating acquisitions.

India Tax Update

As previously disclosed in a Form 8-K filed on April 2, 2013, the Company has been evaluating its overall position related to potential tax obligations to the India Income Tax Department. The total exposure for 2012 and prior periods is estimated to be approximately $850,000, which will be recognized in the Company’s income tax provision for the fourth quarter of 2012.

Audit Update

The Company continues to work diligently to facilitate having the necessary audits of 2010, 2011 and 2012 completed, and expects to file its 2012 Form 10-K, as well as its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, in the coming weeks.

(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, re-audit related expenses, severance and litigation related expense.

“Adjusted net income” represents net income before deferred revenue fair value adjustment, non-cash compensation expense, restructuring charges and transaction costs, re-audit related expenses, severance, amortization of acquired intangibles and litigation related expense. Reconciling items are tax effected using the income tax rates in effect on the applicable date.

“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 or net income determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
