ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Current report
Net deposits were $0.6 billion during the three months ended April 30, 2026, a decrease of $1.2 billion, or 69%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decline was primarily due to cash management net deposits due to expected tax time seasonality and the continued lower absolute level of interest rates following the Federal Reserve interest rate cuts that took effect towards the end of fiscal year 2026. When interest rates decline, we expect to see a slowdown in cash management asset growth but an increase in investment advisory asset growth, and vice versa. We refer to these periods as transition environments. Transition environments create an opportunity for us to grow cross product flows, that is cash management clients’ cross account transfers to existing investment advisory accounts as well as cash management clients’ cross product adoption of new investment advisory accounts, and vice versa. Investment advisory net deposits increased 141% compared to the same period in the prior year due to successful cross-product adoption and increased interest in investment advisory products as interest rates decline.
Current report
Cash Management 2
Current report
Cash management revenue decreased by $0.9 million, or 1% for the three months ended April 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year. The decline in cash management revenue was primarily attributable to a 6% decrease in the annualized cash management fee rate, partially offset by a 5% increase in the average balance of cash management assets. The decline in the annualized cash management fee rate was primarily due to the inherent mathematical impact of converting annual percentage rates (APR) to annual percentage yields (APY) in a declining rate environment. Separately, on January 30th, we increased the base APY across all cash management accounts by 5 basis points. This move effectively passed through the bulk of the 6-basis-point increase in the Effective Federal Funds Rate (EFFR) that had accumulated relative to the target range over the preceding months.

Investment Advisory 3
Current report
Other revenue increased by approximately $0.5 million, or 130% for the three months ended April 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in other revenue was primarily due to increased portfolio line of credit net interest margin revenue.
Current report
Cost of revenue increased by $1.3 million, or 15%, for the three months ended April 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to:
Current report
Product development expenses increased by $13.5 million, or 67%, for the three months ended April 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $13.1 million in personnel-related costs due to increased headcount, including an increase of $8.9 million in stock-based compensation and $4.2 million in salary and allocated overhead costs. Cloud computing costs increased $0.4 million for the three months ended April 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year.
Current report
General and administrative expenses increased by $7.1 million, or 71%, for the three months ended April 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $6.3 million in personnel-related costs due to increased headcount, including an increase of $5.4 million in stock-based compensation, and $0.9 million in salary and allocated overhead costs. Professional fees increased $0.8 million for the three months ended April 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year.
Current report
Marketing expenses increased by $1.0 million, or 10%, for the three months ended April 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $0.8 million in personnel-related costs due to increased headcount, including $0.1 million in stock-based compensation, and $0.7 million in salary and allocated overhead costs. Marketing consulting fees and other expenses increased $0.2 million for the three months ended April 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year.
Current report
Interest expense increased by $0.2 million, or 276%, for the three months ended April 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to increased unused commitment fees following the increase to our revolving credit facility in October 2025 from $50.0 million to $250.0 million.
Current report
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes decreased by $3.6 million for the three months ended April 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily driven by a $16.7 million decrease in pre-tax book income evaluated at the estimated annualized effective tax rate, partially offset by minor, unfavorable discrete tax adjustments consisting primarily of excess tax deficiencies on stock-based compensation. For additional information, refer to Note 13. — Income Taxes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.
Current report
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”). The Amended Revolver was not drawn on during the three months ended April 30, 2026, and no amounts were outstanding under the Amended Revolver as of April 30, 2026.
Current report
No amounts were outstanding under the Amended Revolver as of April 30, 2026.
Current report
Cash used in financing activities was $30.8 million for the three months ended April 30, 2026, primarily due to $28.3 million in repurchases of common stock and $4.7 million in taxes paid related to the net settlement of RSUs, slightly offset by $2.1 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and common stock warrants.
Current report
Share Repurchase Program
Current report
In March 2026, our board of directors approved a share repurchase program with authorization to purchase up to $100.0 million of our outstanding common stock. Repurchases under the share repurchase program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or by other methods, with the amount and timing of repurchases to be determined at our discretion, depending on market conditions and corporate needs. Open market repurchases are structured to occur in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including within the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. We may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of our shares under this authorization. The share repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of our common stock, and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time at the discretion of our board of directors. We fund repurchases with existing cash and cash equivalents and cash from operations. For the three months ended April 30, 2026, we repurchased 3.1 million shares as part of the share repurchase program at an average price of $8.66 per share for a total of $27.1 million.

Net deposits were $1.6 billion during the three months ended October 31, 2025, a decrease of $2.8 billion, or 64%, compared to the same period in the prior year. During the three months ended October 31, 2025, we recorded the second-highest quarterly volume of cross product flows—cash management clients' cross account transfers to existing investment advisory accounts as well as cash management clients' cross product adoption of new investment advisory accounts—in our history, as cash management clients increasingly transitioned liquidity into our investment advisory products. This successful internal rotation demonstrates our ability to capture and retain client wealth across product lines, deepening our relationship with 'digital native' high earners even as market conditions shift.

Cash Management 3
Previous report
Cash management revenue increased by $8.7 million, or 14%, and $33.1 million, or 20%, for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase in cash management revenue was primarily attributable to a 18% and 26% increase, year-over-year, in the average balance of cash management assets for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The annualized cash management fee rate declined by 3% and 5% for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The compression in our cash management fee rate during the periods primarily resulted from two factors: our strategic practice of maintaining client interest rates for a standard grace period (typically seven calendar days) following a Federal Reserve rate cut, and the inherent mathematical impact of converting annual percentage rates (APR) to annual percentage yields (APY) in a declining rate environment. These temporary yield protections are designed to enhance client trust and retention, though they result in a short-term reduction in the net fee captured.

Previous report
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes increased by $4.4 million, and $71.7 million for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to the release of the $75.0 million valuation allowance on our U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets for the nine months ended October 31, 2025.

We collect and analyze operating and financial data to evaluate the health of our business, allocate our resources, and assess our performance. In addition to total revenue, net income and other results under GAAP, we utilize non-GAAP calculations of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income, excluding: (i) interest expenses, (ii) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation expense, (v) change in fair value of the convertible note, warrant liabilities, and SAFEs, and (vi) nonrecurring expenses, if any. The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items is unpredictable, are not driven by core results of operations and render comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as providing a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Moreover, we have included Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in this Form 10-Q because it is a key measurement used by our management internally to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluate performance, identify trends affecting our business and perform strategic planning and annual budgeting.

However, as a percentage of revenue our cost of revenue has declined and we expect our existing products’ cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue to continue to decline in the long term as we benefit from the scalability of our platform.

We borrowed $10.0 million under the Bridge Loan in each of January 2022 and March 2022 for a total of $20.0 million. Borrowings under the Bridge Loan agreement accrued simple interest on the outstanding amounts at an interest rate of 10.0% per annum, based upon a year of 365 days and actual days elapsed. The Bridge Loan agreement was amended in August 2023 to extend the maturity date from April 2, 2024 to September 30, 2025 and allow for interest to accrue on the outstanding balance of the Bridge Loan as of April 3, 2024 at a rate of 12.5% per annum, compounded annually from April 3, 2024 until September 30, 2025.
