FolioDynamix Acquisition

 

On January 2, 2018, Envestnet (“the Company”) completed its acquisition of FolioDynamix. In connection with the acquisition, Envestnet paid $195 million in cash for all the outstanding shares of FolioDynamix, subject to certain closing and post-closing adjustments, using a combination of cash on the Company’s balance sheet and borrowings under its revolving credit facility. As a standalone firm, the FolioDynamix platform supported approximately 28,000 advisors, 3.2 million accounts and $899 billion in assets  as of December 31, 2017. FolioDynamix’s expected contribution to Envestnet’s 2018 financial results is included in the Outlook section below.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Effective January 1, 2018, Envestnet adopted ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” using the modified retrospective method. The new rules impact the accounting for revenue, as well as the costs to obtain customer contracts. While most of the changes in revenue and expense recognition will be immaterial to Envestnet’s financial results,  revenues and cost of revenues will be lower under the new rules, beginning in the first quarter of 2018, due to the treatment of certain third party fees. The expected financial impact from these changes in accounting principles is included in the Outlook section below.

 

Income Taxes

 

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law in the US. The provisions of the new tax law that are effective during 2017 do not have a material impact on Envestnet’s financial statements due to a valuation allowance on our U.S. temporary differences. From a cash tax perspective, we also do not anticipate a material impact as a result of the new tax law due to the use of foreign tax credits and net operating losses.  For 2017, we will pay foreign income tax and in the U.S. alternative minimum tax and state income tax.  

 

For purposes of calculating and reporting adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share, we are reducing our estimated normalized effective tax rate from 40% to 27% beginning in 2018. This reflects the new 21% federal statutory rate and an incremental 6% for state taxes. The expected financial impact of this change in assumption is included in the Outlook section below.

 

Outlook

 

The Company provided the following outlook for the first quarter ended March 31, 2018 and full year ending December 31, 2018. This outlook is based on the market value of assets on December 31, 2017. As noted above, it also includes the anticipated contribution from FolioDynamix, the change in accounting for certain revenues and expenses under ASU 2014-09, and a lower normalized effective tax rate.

 

The above outlook for adjusted revenues is equal to GAAP revenues, as the Company currently expects immaterial deferred revenue fair value adjustments in 2018. The Company does not forecast net income and net income per share due to the unpredictable nature of various items adjusted for non-GAAP disclosure purposes, including the periodic GAAP income tax provision.

 

As noted above, various items have been incorporated into the Company’s outlook for 2018. Estimates of the impact on growth in revenue and adjusted EBITDA are noted in the table below.

(1) Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

“Adjusted revenues” excludes 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 (loss) before deferred revenue fair value adjustment, interest income, interest expense, accretion on contingent consideration and purchase liability, 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 income, non-income tax expense adjustment, impairment of equity method investment, loss allocation from equity method investment and loss attributable to non-controlling interest.

 

“Adjusted net income” represents net income (loss) before deferred revenue fair value adjustment, accretion on contingent consideration and purchase liability, 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 income, non-income tax expense adjustment, impairment of equity method investment, loss allocation from equity method investment and 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. 

 

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

 

See reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures on pages 9-11 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, such as the GAAP tax provision. 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.
