Unearned Revenue

The Company records unearned revenue when cash payments are received or due in advance of the Company’s performance obligations, including amounts which are refundable. Unearned revenue increased from $207.6 million as of December 31, 2024 to $263.3 million as of June 30, 2025. The increase in unearned revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 is primarily driven by cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying the Company’s performance obligations, partially offset by $207.0 million of revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2025 that was included in the unearned revenue balance as of December 31, 2024.

The Company receives cash in advance for advisory services to be performed and conferences to be held in future periods. For advisory services, revenue is recognized as the Company provides the administration, brokerage and execution services over time to satisfy the performance obligations. For conference revenue, the Company recognizes revenue as the conferences are held.

NOTE 4 -ACQUISITIONS

Closed on the Acquisition of Commonwealth Financial Network (“Commonwealth”)

On August 1, 2025, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Commonwealth, a privately-held independent wealth management firm headquartered in Massachusetts, for a cash payment of approximately $2.7 billion. As part of the transaction, Commonwealth will transition its advisory and brokerage assets to the Company’s platform. The Company expects to complete the conversion in the fourth quarter of 2026. Given the recency of the closing, the purchase accounting analysis has not yet been completed.

The Company financed this transaction through a combination of corporate cash, proceeds from the debt and equity issuances completed in April 2025, and borrowings under the LPL Holdings, Inc.’s revolving credit facility. On April 2, 2025, the Company completed a public offering of approximately 5.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an offering price of $320.00 per share, and on April 3, 2025, the Company completed the issuance of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.900% senior unsecured notes due 2028, $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.150% senior unsecured notes due 2030 and $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.750% senior unsecured notes due 2035. See Note 9 - Corporate Debt and Other Borrowings, Net, and Note 11 -Stockholders’ Equity within the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Other Acquisitions

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company completed 21 acquisitions,19 of which were completed under the Liquidity & Succession solution in which the Company buys advisor practices. Five of these acquisitions have been accounted for as business combinations and 16 have been accounted for as asset acquisitions.

Business Combinations

Acquisition of The Investment Center, Inc. (“The Investment Center”)

In March 2025, the Company acquired The Investment Center for total consideration of $70.6 million, which included $70.2 million of cash and liabilities of $0.4 million for contingent consideration. The Company was introduced to The Investment Center as part of the Atria acquisition, and the cash consideration was prefunded in 2024 in conjunction with the close of the Atria acquisition. The Company has subsequently transitioned The Investment Center’s brokerage and advisory assets to the Company’s platform. The transaction also includes potential contingent consideration of up to $10.4 million based on revenue growth in the years following the acquisition. The Company accounted for the acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Acquisition related costs incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, were $2.5 million and $4.8 million, respectively, primarily related to professional services which were classified as professional services expense and promotional expense in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company recorded purchase accounting adjustments during the three months ended June 30, 2025 which resulted in a $6.1 million decrease in other liabilities, a $0.4 million a decrease in advisor relationships, and a $5.6 million decrease in goodwill. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had allocated $43.5 million and $27.1 million

Table of Contents

LPL FINANCIAL HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNotes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

of the consideration to advisor relationships and goodwill, respectively. The advisor relationships were assigned a useful life of 16 years. See Note 7 -Goodwill and Other Intangibles, Net for additional information.

Other Business Combinations

The Company accounted forfour other acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Total consideration for these transactions was $68.0 million, which included $58.3 million of cash, and liabilities of $9.6 million for contingent consideration, which represents the acquisition date fair value of the additional cash consideration that may be transferred to the sellers if certain asset growth is achieved in the years following the closing. This contingent consideration may be settled for amounts up to $44.1 million in the years following the closing. At June 30, 2025, the Company had provisionally allocated $56.0 million of the consideration to client relationships, which were assigned a useful life of 14 years to 15 years, and $11.7 million to goodwill.

Asset Acquisitions

The Company accounted for 16 other acquisitions as asset acquisitions. These transactions included total initial consideration of $143.7 million, including $141.7 million which was allocated to client relationships and $2.0 million which was allocated to advisor relationships. These relationships were assigned useful lives of 14 years to 15 years, respectively, and the related transactions include potential contingent payments of up to $94.1 million in the years following the closing if certain asset growth is achieved. The Company has not recognized a liability for these contingent payments as the amounts to be paid will be uncertain until a future measurement date. See Note 7 –Goodwill and Other Intangibles, Net, for additional information.

Acquisitions Completed in Prior Periods

Acquisition of Atria Wealth Solutions, Inc.

On October 1, 2024 ("acquisition date"), the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of Atria, a wealth management solutions holding company headquartered in New York, in order to expand its addressable markets and complement organic growth. As part of the acquisition, the Company acquired Atria's seven introducing broker-dealer subsidiaries and completed the conversion of the related brokerage and advisory assets to the Company's platform in July 2025.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded purchase accounting adjustments that resulted in a $15.4 million decrease in total consideration, a $13.5 million decrease in advisor relationships, a $6.3 million decrease in institutional relationships, a $4.8 million decrease in other receivables, an $8.7 million decrease in other liabilities, a $0.4 million increase in deferred tax liabilities, and a $2.0 million increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. These cumulative adjustments resulted in a $2.9 million increase to goodwill.

The Company accounted for the acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The following table summarizes the total consideration for the transaction at the acquisition date (dollars in thousands):

The contingent consideration, which may be settled for amounts up to $330 million, represents the estimated fair value of the additional cash consideration that may be paid to the sellers if certain asset conversion, retention and other milestones are achieved in the year following the closing. The Company determined the fair value for each of its contingent consideration obligations using probability weighted or Monte-Carlo simulation models. These methods use significant unobservable inputs, including forecasted conversion rates and discount rates which are based on the cost of debt and equity. See Note 5 -Fair Value Measurements for additional information.

Table of Contents

LPL FINANCIAL HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNotes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The following table summarizes the Company's provisional purchase price allocation at the acquisition date (dollars in thousands):

The goodwill primarily includes synergies expected to result from combining operations. Other intangible assets comprised $195.4 million of institutional relationships and $424.7 million of advisor relationships which were each assigned useful lives of 16 years. These intangible assets were valued using the income approach and are included in the Advisor and institution relationships line item in Note 7 - Goodwill and Other Intangibles, Net. The fair value determination of institutional and advisor relationships required the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions related to future net cash flows and discount rates. The purchase accounting analysis is ongoing and may result in changes to the value of certain tax related assets acquired and liabilities recorded.

Acquisition related costs incurred as part of the Atria acquisition during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, were $32.0 million and $44.0 million, respectively, primarily related to professional services and conversion costs, which were classified as professional services expense and promotional expense, respectively, in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of income. Atria's results were included in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. For this period, total revenues attributable to Atria were approximately $185.4 million and $370.9 million, respectively, and net income was not material.

The following table presents unaudited pro forma results as if the acquisition of Atria had occurred on January 1, 2024 (dollars in thousands):

The unaudited pro forma results above were prepared by combining the historical financial information of the Company and Atria and making certain adjustments. Pro forma adjustments include the impact of amortization of intangible assets recognized as part of the acquisition, amortization of transition assistance loans made to advisors

and institutions that have converted to the Company's platform in 2025, and the related interest impact of financing the transaction. The unaudited pro forma information does not reflect the potential benefits of cost and funding synergies, opportunities to earn additional revenues or other factors, and, therefore, does not represent the actual results that would have occurred had the companies actually been combined as of January 1, 2024.

Other Acquisitions

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the Company completed 23 other acquisitions,22 of which were completed under the Liquidity & Succession solution in which the Company buys advisor practices.

See Note 7 –Goodwill and Other Intangibles, Net, for additional information.

NOTE 5 -FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized within a three-level fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

There have been no transfers of assets or liabilities between these fair value measurement classifications during the six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2024.

Table of Contents

LPL FINANCIAL HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNotes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The Company’s fair value measurements are evaluated within the fair value hierarchy, based on the nature of inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had the following financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Cash Equivalents — The Company’s cash equivalents primarily include money market funds and U.S. government obligations, which are short term in nature with readily determinable values derived from active markets.

Cash Equivalents Segregated Under Federal or Other Regulations — The Company’s cash equivalents segregated under federal or other regulations include U.S. treasury bills, which are short term in nature with readily determinable values derived from active markets.

Restricted Cash— The Company’s restricted cash is primarily composed of U.S. government obligations and money market funds which are short term in nature with readily determinable values derived from active markets.

Trading Securities and Securities Sold, But Not Yet Purchased — The Company’s trading securities consist of house account model portfolios established and managed for the purpose of benchmarking the performance of its fee-based advisory platforms and temporary positions resulting from the processing of client transactions.

The Company uses prices obtained from independent third-party pricing services to measure the fair value of its trading securities. Prices received from the pricing services are validated when security prices move beyond a certain deviation threshold using various methods including comparison to prices received from additional pricing services, comparison to available quoted market prices and review of other relevant market data including implied yields of major categories of securities. In general, these quoted prices are derived from active markets for identical assets or liabilities. When quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities are not available, the quoted prices are based on similar assets and liabilities or inputs other than the quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. For negotiable certificates of deposit and treasury securities, the Company utilizes market-based inputs, including observable market interest rates that correspond to the remaining maturities or the next interest reset dates. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not adjust prices received from the independent third-party pricing services.

Other Assets — The Company’s other assets include: (1) deferred compensation plan assets that are invested in life insurance, money market and other mutual funds, which are actively traded and valued based on quoted market prices; and (2) certain non-traded real estate investment trusts, which are valued using quoted prices for identical or similar securities and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Fractional Shares — The Company’s investment in fractional shares held by customers is reflected in other assets while the related purchase obligation for such shares is reflected in other liabilities. The Company uses prices obtained from independent third-party pricing services to measure the fair value of its investment in fractional shares held by customers and the related repurchase obligation. Prices received from the pricing services are validated when security prices move beyond a certain deviation threshold using various methods including comparison to prices received from additional pricing services, comparison to available quoted market prices and review of other relevant market data including implied yields of major categories of securities. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not adjust prices received from the independent third-party pricing services.

Contingent Consideration — The Company measures contingent consideration liabilities at fair value at the acquisition date, as applicable, and thereafter on a recurring basis using unobservable (Level 3) inputs. These contingent consideration liabilities are reflected in other liabilities. See Note 4 -Acquisitions for additional information.

Level 3 Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company determines the fair value for its contingent consideration obligations using probability weighted and Monte-Carlo simulation models. Contingent payments are estimated by applying significant unobservable inputs, including forecasted growth rates applied to project future revenue or asset growth, conversion or retention rates, and discount rates which are based on the cost of debt and equity. These projections are measured against the

Table of Contents

LPL FINANCIAL HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNotes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

performance targets specified in each respective acquisition agreement, which may include growth in assets under management, net new assets, asset conversion or retention, or revenue growth. Significant increases or decreases in the Company’s forecasted growth rates over the measurement period or discount rates would result in a higher or lower fair value measurement.

The following tables summarize inputs used in the measurement of contingent consideration (dollars in thousands):

(1)Equivalency rate is defined as the prevailing market interest rate used to discount future payments.

The components of other assets and other liabilities were as follows (dollars in thousands):

The Company entered into a 20 year credit tenant lease on its Fort Mill, South Carolina office in April 2025. The transaction was accounted for as a financing arrangement as it did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting primarily due to the existence of an option to purchase the property for $1 at the end of the lease term. The Company had previously accounted for this location as a finance lease. As a result of the transaction, the term was extended, a financing obligation of $109.3 million was recorded, and the existing finance lease liability of $105.0 million was derecognized. The Company allocated $104.0 million and $5.3 million to building and land, respectively, in the property and equipment, net line item in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

NOTE 10 -COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Service and Development Contracts

The Company is party to certain long-term contracts for systems and services that enable back-office trade processing and clearing for its product and service offerings.

Guarantees

The Company occasionally enters into contracts that contingently require it to indemnify certain parties against third-party claims. The terms of these obligations vary and, because a maximum obligation is not explicitly stated, the Company has determined that it is not possible to make an estimate of the amount that it could be obligated to pay under such contracts.

LPL Financial provides guarantees to securities clearing houses and exchanges under their standard membership agreements, which require a member to guarantee the performance of other members. Under these agreements, if a member becomes unable to satisfy its obligations to the clearing houses and exchanges, all other members would be required to meet any shortfall. The Company’s liability under these arrangements is not quantifiable and could exceed the cash and securities it has posted as collateral. However, the potential requirement for the Company to make payments under these agreements is remote. Accordingly, no liability has been recognized for these transactions.

Loan Commitments

From time to time, LPL Financial makes loans to advisors and institutions, primarily to newly recruited advisors and institutions to assist in the transition process, which may be forgivable. Due to timing differences, LPL Financial may make commitments to issue such loans prior to actually funding them. These commitments are generally contingent upon certain events occurring, including the advisor or institution joining LPL Financial. LPL Financial had no significant unfunded loan commitments at June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

The Company is subject to extensive regulation and supervision by U.S. federal and state agencies and various self-regulatory organizations. The Company and its advisors periodically engage with such agencies and organizations, in the context of examinations or otherwise, to respond to inquiries, informational requests and investigations. From time to time, such engagements result in regulatory complaints or other matters, the resolution of which has in the past and may in the future include fines, customer restitution and other remediation. Assessing the probability of a loss occurring and the timing and amount of any loss related to a legal proceeding or regulatory matter is inherently difficult. While the Company exercises significant and complex judgments to make certain estimates presented in its condensed consolidated financial statements, there are particular uncertainties and complexities involved when assessing the potential outcomes of legal proceedings and regulatory matters. The Company’s assessment process considers a variety of factors and assumptions, which may include: the procedural status of the matter and any recent developments; prior experience and the experience of others in similar matters; the size and nature of potential exposures; available defenses; the progress of fact discovery; the opinions of counsel and experts; or the potential opportunities for settlement and the status of any settlement discussions. The Company monitors these factors and assumptions for new developments and re-assesses the likelihood that a loss will occur and the estimated range or amount of loss, if those amounts can be reasonably determined. The Company has established an accrual for those legal proceedings and regulatory matters for which a loss is both probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

In February 2023, the Company received a request for information from the SEC in connection with an investigation of certain elements of the Company’s Anti-Money Laundering compliance program. In 2024, the SEC proposed a resolution, under which the Company would pay an $18.0 million civil monetary penalty. As a result, the Company recorded $18.0 million in other expense in the consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company reached a settlement with the staff of the SEC and paid the civil monetary penalty in January 2025.

In July 2024, putative class action lawsuits were filed against LPL Financial in federal district court alleging certain violations of law in connection with its cash sweep programs. The Company intends to defend vigorously against the lawsuits.

In August 2024, the Company received a request for information from the SEC regarding certain elements of the Company’s cash management program for corporate advisory accounts. The Company has been cooperating with the request.

Third-Party Insurance

The Company maintains third-party insurance coverage for certain potential legal proceedings, including those involving certain client claims. With respect to such client claims, the estimated losses on many of the pending matters are less than the applicable deductibles of the insurance policies.

Self-Insurance

The Company has self-insurance for certain potential liabilities through its captive insurance subsidiary. Liabilities associated with the risks that are retained by the Company are not discounted and are estimated by considering, in part, historical claims experience, severity factors, and actuarial assumptions and estimates. The estimated accruals for these potential liabilities could be significantly affected if future occurrences and claims differ from such assumptions and historical trends, so there are particular complexities and uncertainties involved when assessing the adequacy of loss reserves for potential liabilities that are self-insured. Self-insurance liabilities are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. Self-insurance related charges are included in other expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Of these securities, approximately $507.6 million were client-owned securities pledged to the Options Clearing Corporation as collateral to secure client obligations related to options positions.
