Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. Description of Business

Wealthfront Corporation, a Delaware corporation incorporated in January 2007 (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Wealthfront” or the “Company”), is a technology company that built a financial solutions platform for digital natives to turn their savings into long-term wealth. The Company’s broad suite of products, including cash management, investing, borrowing and lending, and financial planning solutions, address the diverse financial needs of its clients regardless of the economic environment. Clients have ownership of the securities they transact on the Company’s platform, including those that collateralize margin loans, and, as a result, such securities are not presented on the consolidated balance sheets, other than client-held fractional shares which are presented gross.

The Company’s significant, wholly owned subsidiaries include Wealthfront Advisers LLC, a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)-registered investment adviser, and Wealthfront Brokerage LLC, an SEC-registered broker-dealer and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and note disclosures included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2025 , included in the Company’s prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on December 12, 2025. There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wealthfront and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The Company operates and reports financial information inone operating segment. This is because the CODM considers company-wide key performance metrics and utilizes consolidated net income to allocate resources and determine performance. The Company’s objective in making resource allocation decisions is to optimize the condensed consolidated financial results. The significant segment expenses reviewed by the CODM conform to the presentation of such items in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The CODM does not review segment assets at a different asset level or category other than the amounts disclosed in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

All revenue and long-lived assets in these condensed consolidated financial statements relate to contracts with clients located in the United States of America.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on current and past experiences, to the extent historical experience is predictive of future performance and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, under these circumstances. Appropriate adjustments, if any, are made to the estimates prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation. Actual results could differ from these estimates and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

Estimates, judgments and assumptions in these condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to: the valuation of allowance for credit losses, warrant liabilities, SAFEs (as defined below), and a convertible note; useful lives assigned to property and equipment; the discount rates used for leases; stock-based compensation, including the determination of the fair value of the Company’s common stock; and the realizability of deferred tax assets, net and uncertain tax positions.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, margin loans to its clients, and the convertible note.

Although the Company deposits corporate cash with multiple financial institutions, the deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on deposits of cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments that are invested at financial institutions in the United States. Management believes that the institutions are financially stable and, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists.

The Company engages in trading and brokerage activities on behalf of clients with broker-dealers, banks, and other financial institutions, exposing it to counterparty risk. While equity defaults are typically shared among clearinghouse members, the Company monitors counterparty creditworthiness as needed.

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs primarily consist of accounting, legal, and other fees directly related to the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”). Upon consummation of the IPO in December 2025, the deferred offering costs were reclassified to stockholders’ equity (deficit) and recorded against the proceeds from the offering. The Company capitalized $7.2 million and $0.6 million of deferred offering costs within other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of October 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

There were no new accounting pronouncements adopted during the nine months ended October 31, 2025 that materially impacted the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Taxes Disclosures. This guidance requires annual disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provides additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2023-09 in its annual report for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026. As ASU 2023-09 affects only disclosures, the Company does not expect adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which requires additional disclosures about certain amounts included in the expense captions presented on the statement of operations as well as disclosures about selling expenses. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, which provides a delayed implementation timeline to give issuers additional time to prepare for the impacts of adopting ASU No. 2024-03. ASU No. 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the amendment on the disclosures to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Accounting for Software Costs, which provides a single capitalization model for internal-use software development and cloud implementation costs and replaces the current phase-based guidance. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied prospectively or modified retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new guidance on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

  1. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are:

Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. In addition, the Company considers and uses all valuation methods that are appropriate in estimating the fair value of an asset or liability.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, cash segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes, client-held fractional shares, restricted cash, due from/to clients, proprietary inventory in other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, payable to clearing broker, fractional shares repurchase obligation, convertible note, SAFEs, and warrant liabilities. Cash equivalents, client-held fractional shares, fractional shares repurchase obligation, proprietary inventory, convertible note, SAFEs, and warrant liabilities are stated at fair value. Cash, cash investments segregated and on deposit for regulatory purposes, restricted cash, due from/to clients, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and payable to clearing broker are stated at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short time these financial instruments are held to the expected receipt or payment date.

The following tables summarize the fair value of financial assets and liabilities and their classification by level of input within the fair value hierarchy asof October 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025 (in thousands):

The Company hadone operating lease that expired in May 2025 and was not renewed. All leases require the Company to pay annual operating, tax or utilities expenses, which are included in the variable lease costs. The Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments, as the implicit rate is not readily determinable.

  1. Financing Activities

Revolving Line of Credit

On October 31, 2024, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a third-party financial institution to provide a revolving line of up to $50.0 million (the “Revolver”) with a maturity date of October 30, 2025. Interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance is at (i) the base rate, plus 1.0% per annum or (ii) Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus 2.0% per annum. The base rate is defined as the highest of (i) the Prime Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement); (ii) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus 0.50%, and (c) Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR plus 1.00%, and is payable on a monthly basis.

On October 14, 2025, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with the same third-party financial institution acting as administrative agent to provide a revolving line of up to $250.0 million (the “Amended Revolver”), including a subfacility of up to $25.0 million for letters of credit. This Credit Agreement replaced the original Credit Agreement entered into on October 31, 2024. Interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance, at the Company’s option, is at either (i) the base rate determined by the highest of the prime rate, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and the adjusted daily SOFR plus the 1.00%, or (ii) the adjusted daily SOFR plus the applicable interest margin. In addition, the Company will be required to pay commitment fees of (i)0.25% per annum on the undrawn portion of the commitments under the Credit Agreement based on a consolidated total net leverage ratio less than 2.00 to 1.00, (ii)0.375% per annum based on a consolidated total net leverage ratio greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 but less than 3.00 to 1.00, and (iii)0.50% per annum based on a consolidated total net leverage ratio greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00.

Neither the Revolver nor the Amended Revolver was drawn on during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025.

Simple Agreement for Future Equity

In November 2019, the Company entered into a series of SAFEs with new investors associated with a small “acquihire” for an aggregate purchase amount of $2.2 million (the “Purchase Amount”). Upon equity financing or termination, the SAFE holders will receive an aggregate number of shares of common stock equal to the Purchase Amount divided by the conversion price.

Upon a liquidity event (and at the election of the Majority Holders, whose investment represents a majority of the Purchase Amount), the holders will receive in aggregate either: (i) a cash payment equal to the Purchase Amount or (ii) a number of shares of common stock equal to the Purchase Amount divided by the product of the liquidity price and the discount rate (such product, the “Discounted Price”). On March 10, 2022, the Company amended the Discounted Price of the SAFEs to $5.00 with respect to a specified strategic transaction. If there are insufficient funds to pay the holders, available funds will be distributed on a pro rata basis among the SAFE holders. In a dissolution event, the holders will receive the Purchase Amount. If the Company has insufficient funds to pay the SAFE holders, the Company will be liable to distribute available assets on a pro rata basis among the holders for the remaining amount.

The SAFEs represent an obligation to issue a variable number of shares of the Company’s common stock, the monetary value of which is known when entering into the SAFEs.

The fair value of the SAFEs was estimated using the following assumptions:

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

As of October 31, 2025, the Company hadthree noncancelable contracts, one of which is related toa third-party partner bank in connection with services that the Company offers its clients as part of the cash sweep program. Payments made to this third-party partner bank during the three andnine months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024 towards this contract were immaterial.

During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, the Company entered into a noncancelable contract for cloud computing services with a third-party provider. The Company is committed to a minimum spend during the term of the contract. Payments made to this third-party provider during the three andnine months ended October 31, 2025 were $1.7 million and $4.7 million, respectively.

In July 2025, the Company entered into another noncancelable contract for an application programming interface service with a third-party provider. The Company is committed to a minimum monthly spend during the term of the contract.

The following table provides the future minimum payments over the term of the noncancelable contracts (in thousands):

Fiscal Year Ended January 31,Amount
2026 (remaining)$1,325
20276,750
20287,400
Total$15,475

Contingencies

The Company reviews its lawsuits, regulatory inquiries, and other legal proceedings on an ongoing basis and provides disclosure and records loss contingencies in accordance with the loss contingencies accounting guidance. The Company establishes an accrual for losses at management’s best estimate when it assesses that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If an estimated loss is only reasonably possible rather than probable, no liability is recognized. However, where a material loss is reasonably possible, the Company will disclose details of the legal proceeding or claim and an estimate of the possible loss or range of losses if an estimate can be reasonably made. An event is defined as reasonably possible if the chance of the loss to the Company is more than remote but less than probable. The Company monitors these matters for developments that would affect the likelihood of a loss and the accrued amount, if any, and adjusts the amount as appropriate. As of October 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, the Company’s loss contingencies were immaterial.

(1)Dividend per share per annum when and if declared by the board of directors.

(2)The convertible note to purchase shares of Series H-1 and H-2 redeemable convertible preferred stock was paid off in full in March 2024.

The holders of redeemable convertible preferred stock have various rights and preferences, as follows:

Voting

Each share of redeemable convertible preferred stock, except for Series H-2, has voting rights equal to an equivalent number of shares of common stock.

Dividends

Holders of redeemable convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive noncumulative dividends out of funds legally available, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any cash dividend on the common stock of the Company. The per annum dividend rate per share is disclosed in the above table.

No dividends on redeemable convertible preferred stock or common stock have been declared since the inception of the Company through October 31, 2025.

Any additional dividends or distributions paid in common stock shall be distributed among all holders of common stock and redeemable convertible preferred stock in proportion to the number of shares of common stock that would be held by each such holder if all shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock are converted to common stock at the then-effective conversion rate; provided, however, that holders of a series of stock that does not carry voting rights shall receive such stock dividend in non-voting common stock and holders of series of stock with voting rights shall receive such stock dividend in voting common stock.

Redemption

Theredeemable convertible preferred stock is not mandatorily redeemable at the option of the holder. However, as theredeemable convertible preferred stock is contingently redeemable upon certain deemed liquidation events such as a merger or change in control, which constitute a redemption event outside the Company’s control, all shares ofredeemable convertible preferred stock are presented outside of stockholders’ deficit in redeemable convertible preferred stock in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company is not permitted to redeem any shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock or any of its other capital stock in violation of any applicable beneficial ownership limitations or in the event that a regulated stockholder reasonably concludes that such redemption would result in adverse regulatory or reputational consequences to such stockholder.

Liquidation

Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company (each, a “Liquidation Event”), whether voluntary or involuntary, and under certain change of control and sale transactions by the Company, holders ofredeemable convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to holders of common stock, an amount per share up to the original issue price (as adjusted for any stock dividends, splits, combinations, recapitalizations, and the like) in addition to all declared but unpaid dividends, if any.

As of October 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, no adjustments to the liquidation preferences have been made. If upon occurrence of any such event, the assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution are insufficient to permit payment of the preferential amounts, then the assets and funds of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among theredeemable convertible preferred stockholders in proportion to the full preferential amount that each such stockholder is otherwise entitled to receive. If there are any available funds and assets remaining after the payment or distribution (or the setting aside for payment or distribution) to the holders of the redeemable convertible preferred stock of their full preferential amounts described above, any remaining assets of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably to the holders of common stock.

Notwithstanding the above, for purposes of determining the amount that each holder of shares ofredeemable convertible preferred stock is entitled to receive with respect to a Liquidation Event, each such holder of shares of a series ofredeemable convertible preferred stock shall be deemed to have converted (regardless of whether such holder actually converted) such holder’s shares of such series into equal shares of fully paid and nonassessable common stock immediately prior to the liquidation event if, as a result of an actual conversion, such holder would receive, in the aggregate, an amount greater than the amount that would be distributed to such holder if such holder did not convert such series ofredeemable convertible preferred stock into shares of common stock.

Conversion

Other than shares of Series H-2 redeemable convertible preferred stock, each share of redeemable convertible preferred stock outstanding is convertible at the option of the holder thereof intoone share of common stock at any time or from time to time prior to the date fixed for redemption of such share, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations applicable to the Series H-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock.

Each outstanding share of redeemable convertible preferred stock, other than Series H-2, will automatically convert intoone fully paid and nonassessable share of voting common stock immediately prior to the closing of an IPO that results in aggregate net proceeds to the Company of at least $35.0 million.

  1. Common Stock

As of October 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, the Company was authorized to issue 214.6 million shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Each share of voting common stock has the right toone vote. The holders of common stock are also entitled to receive dividends whenever funds are legally available and when declared by the board of directors, subject to the prior rights of holders of all classes of stock outstanding having priority rights to dividends, and subject to beneficial ownership limitations applicable to certain regulated stockholders. No dividends have been declared by the board of directors from the Company’s inception through October 31, 2025.

Common Stock Reserved for Future Issuance

At October 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, the Company reserved the following shares of common stock for issuance:

  1. Warrants

Equity-Classified Warrants

From 2019 to 2023, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1.6 million shares of common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $2.60. All warrants expire 10 years from the date of grant. As of October 31, 2025, none of the equity-classified warrants had vested or been exercised.

Liability-Classified Warrants

The warrant liabilities are included in other noncurrent liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the warrants is remeasured at the end of every reporting period, with changes in fair value during the period recorded as a component of other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Common Stock Warrant

In April 2020, the Company issued a warrant to purc hase 60,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.16 per share. At October 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, warrant was recorded at fair value of approximately $0.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The warrant expires in April 2030.

The fair value of the common stock warrant was estimated using the BSM option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

  1. Stock-Based Compensation

In January 2008, the Company adopted the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”), which was most recently amended in October 2017 and subsequently terminated in connection with the adoption of the Company’s 2017 Plan (as defined below). The 2008 Plan allowed stock options to be granted to Company employees, officers, directors, advisors, consultants, and other service providers as either incentive stock options (“ISOs”) or non-statutory stock options (“NSOs”). ISOs could be granted only to the Company’s employees. NSOs could be granted to the Company’s service providers who were not employees.

Under the 2008 Plan, options could be granted for terms no longer than 10 years from the date of the grant. In the case of an ISO grant to an optionee who, at the time the option is granted, owned stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary, the term of the option wasfive years from the date of grant. ISOs and NSOs generally vested at a rate of 25% on the first anniversary of the grant date and then ratably over the next three years. Upon termination of employment, any unvested shares were automatically returnedto the Company. Those shares were added back to the plan and made available for future grants. The 2008 Plan was terminated in 2017, but the awards granted previously still vest. At October 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025, no shares from the 2008 Plan remained available for future grants.

In December 2017, the Company adopted the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”), which was most recently amended in September 2025 and subsequently terminated in connection with the adoption of the Company’s 2025 Plan (as defined below). The 2017 Plan allowed stock options to be granted to Company employees, officers, directors, advisors, consultants, and other service providers as either stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock appreciation rights, and other equity awards. The 2017 Plan was initially adopted with substantively similar plan features as the 2008 Plan. In August 2018, the 2017 Plan was amended to extend the post-termination exercise period for vested awards, other than terminations for cause, to up to 10 years. At October 31, 2025 and January 31, 2025,1,668.478 and 5,795.839 shares respectively, from the 2017 Plan remained available for future grants.

In December 2025, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan” and, together with the 2017 and 2008 Plan, the “Plans”). The 2025 Plan became effective in connection with the IPO, and provides for the issuance of up to 17,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to stock options, RSUs, stock appreciation rights, and other equity awards. The 2025 Plan was initially adopted with substantively similar plan features to the 2017 and 2008 Plans. The Company expects to begin issuing awards under the 2025 Plan during the quarter ended January 31, 2026.

In accordance with the Plans, the exercise price of an ISO and NSO shall not be less than 100% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant unless expressly determined in writing by the board of directors or its designated committee, and the exercise price of an ISO granted to a 10% stockholder shall not be less than 110% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant.

Stock Options

A summary of stock option activity as of and for thenine months ended October 31, 2025 under the Plans is as follows:

*The Plans allow for early exercise of stock options and exercised/forfeited balances include only vested stock options exercised.

Vested(187,074)4.35
Forfeited(19,375)4.73
Unvested at October 31, 2025102,044$4.73

As of October 31, 2025, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options was $0.4 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.8 years years.

No options were granted during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024.

Early Exercise of Unvested Options

Under the Plans, employees are offered the option to elect early exercise of their stock options prior to vesting. The Company has the right to repurchase any unvested (but issued) shares of common stock upon termination of service of an employee, either voluntarily or involuntarily, at the lower of: (i) the exercise price paid per share or (ii) the fair market value per share of common stock at the time of the employee’s termination. The consideration received for early exercise of a stock option is initially recorded as a liability and is reclassified to stockholders’ deficit as the stock options vest. As of October 31, 2025, the Company did not have unvested shares that were early exercised by employees and subject to repurchase. As of January 31, 2025, the Company recorded immaterial liabilities for 1,519,220 unvested shares that were early exercised by employees and subject to repurchase.

Modification of Stock Options

The Company has, from time to time, modified the terms of stock options granted to its employees. The Company accounts for the incremental increase in the fair value over the original award on the date of the modification as an expense for vested awards or over the remaining service (vesting) period for unvested awards. The incremental compensation cost is the excess of the fair value-based measure of the modified award on the date of modification over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification.

During the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not have any modification of stock options.

Restricted Stock Units

RSUs are issued at no cost to the recipient and can be settled only in shares after the RSUs have vested. RSUs do not provide the holder with voting rights or cash dividends. The majority of RSUs vest upon satisfaction of time-based service and performance-based conditions (“dual-trigger RSUs”). During the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, no stock-based compensation expense was recognized for dual-trigger RSUs as the performance condition, the occurrence of a qualifying event such as an IPO, was not probable.

A summary of RSU activity for the nine months ended October 31, 2025 under the Plans is as follows:

Number of SharesWeighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at January 31, 202531,294,850$8.23
Granted5,915,68114.45
Settled(3,000)7.62
Forfeited(1,045,963)7.33
Outstanding at October 31, 202536,161,568$8.94

As of October 31, 2025, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested RSUs was $338.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.

Modification of Restricted Stock Units

In September 2025, the Company approved the acceleration of vesting of dual-triggered RSUs granted under the 2017 Plan to certain employees. These RSUs were subject to dual-trigger vesting conditions, consisting of a service-based vesting and an initial vesting event. The initial vesting event was defined as the earlier of (i) the date that is earlier of (1)six months following the effective date of the Company’s IPO (“the IPO Vesting Condition”) and (2) March 15 of the calendar year following the year in which the IPO was declared effective, or (ii) the date of an acquisition, as defined by the 2017 Plan. Upon approval of the vesting acceleration, the RSUs will vest as follows: (i) with respect to any portion of an RSU for which the applicable service-based vesting conditions had been satisfied as of the effective date of the acceleration, such portion vested on the effective date of the acceleration; and (ii) with respect to any portion of an RSU for which the service-based vesting conditions had not been satisfied as of the effective date of the acceleration, such portion will vest on the first date following the effective date on which the applicable service-based vesting conditions are satisfied (the “IPO RSU Vesting Acceleration”).

The approval of the IPO RSU Vesting Acceleration represents a modification of the affected RSUs. As of the three months ended October 31, 2025, the Liquidity Vesting Event remains improbable, as the IPO has not occurred. Accordingly, the Company’s modification of dual-trigger RSU awards to provide for acceleration of vesting in the event of IPO does not impact RSUs previously expected to vest or result in any incremental fair value of the award on the modification date. Therefore, there is no additional compensation cost recognized as a result of this modification.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On September 26, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) to allow eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a discounted price through payroll deductions. The plan will be submitted to stockholders for approval within the next 12 months. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, though the Company will evaluate both qualified and unqualified features for accounting purposes. The plan became effective on the date our registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC in connection with the IPO became effective. The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2025 ESPP shall be 4,500,000 shares, and the first offering period will commence on the ESPP effective date.

Allocation of Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024 was as follows (in thousands):

  1. Employee Benefit Plan

The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan for its employees. This plan provides for tax-deferred salary deductions for all employees. Employee contributions are voluntary. Employees may contribute up to 90% of their annual compensation to this plan, as limited by an annual maximum amount as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company may match employee contributions in amounts to be determined at the Company’s sole discretion. The Company made no contributions to the plan for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024.

Provision for (benefit from) income taxes3,844(519)17,138(54,582)
Effective tax rate11.1%(1.8)%15.8%(50.6)%

Each quarter, the Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined by using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. The Company updates the estimated annual effective tax rate and makes a year-to-date adjustment to the provision.

The Company’s effective tax rate was 11.1% and 15.8% for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025. The primary difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate for each period was primarily due to nondeductible expenses and research and development tax credits. The Company’s effective tax rate was (1.8)% and (50.6)% for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2024. The primary difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate for each period is primarily due to the release in the valuation allowance on federal and state net deferred tax assets.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), was enacted into law in the United States. The OBBBA introduces significant changes to U.S. tax law, including full expensing of qualified capital expenditures, full expensing of domestic research and development expenditures, changes to the business interest limitation, and modifications to the international tax framework. The Company is still evaluating the impact of the OBBBA; however, we do anticipate a material reduction in current income tax expense for the year, primarily driven by the permanent reinstatement of full expensing of domestic research and development expenditures, with no material impact to the effective tax rate.

  1. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Credit Risk

As a securities broker, the Company executes transactions with and on behalf of clients. The Company clears these transactions with its clearing firm on an omnibus basis.

In the normal course of business, the Company’s client activities involve the execution of securities transactions and settlement by its clearing broker. The agreement between the Company and its clearing broker provides that the Company is obligated to assume any exposure related to nonperformance by its clients. These activities may expose the Company to off-balance sheet risk in the event the client is unable to fulfill its contracted obligations. In the event the client fails to satisfy its obligations, the Company may be required to purchase or sell financial instruments at the prevailing market price in order to fulfill the client’s obligation. The Company seeks to control off-balance sheet credit risk by monitoring its client transactions and reviewing information it receives from its clearing broker on a daily basis and reserving for doubtful accounts when necessary.

  1. Related Party Transactions

Related party transactions may include any transaction between the Company and entities under common control or with a related party. The Company has defined related parties as members of the board of directors, executive officers, existing investors holding 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding stock, principal owners of the Company’s outstanding stock and any immediate family members of each related party, as well as any other person or entity with significant influence over the management or operations of the Company.

In July 2024, in connection with the acquisition of Unified National Mortgage LLC (renamed Wealthfront Home Lending, LLC), the Company entered into a series of agreements with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Wealthfront Home Lending, and Wealthfront Holdings LLC, the purchasing entity. Through related management and financing agreements, the Company directs the significant activities of Wealthfront Home Lending and absorbs all associated benefits and losses. As of and during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025 and 2024, the assets, liabilities and activities of Wealthfront Home Lending and Wealthfront Holdings were immaterial to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

  1. Subsequent Events

On December 15, 2025, the Company closed the IPO of 34,615,384 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $14.00 per share. In the IPO,21,468,038 shares of common stock were sold by the Company and 13,147,346 shares of common stock were sold by selling stockholders. The Company’s net proceeds from the sale of common stock was approximately $275 million after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. In connection with the IPO, all of the outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock automatically converted into 69,852,421 shares of common stock and all warrants became exercisable at a weighted average price of $2.73 per share for an aggregate of 1,953,463 shares of common stock. Upon completion of the IPO, approximately $8.5 million of deferred offering costs were reclassified into stockholders’ equity as a reduction of the IPO proceeds, and the Company recognized a one-time cumulative share-based compensation expense of approximately $238.9 million related to RSUs for which the time-based vesting condition was satisfied or partially satisfied as the performance condition was satisfied.

On December 5, 2025, the Company drew $200 million under its existing credit facility (the Amended Revolver; see Note 7— Financing Activities) in connection with the RSU Net Settlement and used a portion of the net proceeds from the IPO to repay such indebtedness. The $140.9 million of anticipated tax withholding and remittance obligations in connection with the RSU Net Settlement reduced the net proceeds from the IPO retained by the Company. The borrowing was repaid in full on December 18, 2025, using proceeds from the IPO. No amounts were outstanding under the credit facility as of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
