Current report
Cost of revenue increased by $1.2 million, or 12%, and $2.5 million, or 14% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to:
Current report
General and administrative expenses increased by $6.8 million, or 77%, and $13.9 million, or 74%, for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $6.1 million and $12.4 million in personnel-related costs due to increased headcount, including an increase of $5.3 million and $10.7 million in stock-based compensation, and $0.8 million and $1.7 million in salary and allocated overhead costs for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, respectively. Professional fees increased $0.5 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year.
Current report
Operations and support expenses increased by $0.9 million, or 28%, and $2.0 million, or 34% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Personnel-related costs increased by $0.8 million and $2.0 million due to increased headcount, including an increase of $0.6 million and $1.4 million in stock-based compensation and an increase of $0.2 million and $0.6 million in salary and allocated overhead costs for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, respectively.
Current report
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes decreased by $2.5 million and $6.1 million for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. These decreases were primarily driven by lower pre-tax income compared to the prior year comparative periods, partially offset by higher effective tax rates measured during the periods. The effective tax rate was 13.0% and 19.1% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, respectively, compared to 12.9% and 18.0% for the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for both current year periods was primarily driven by non-deductible executive compensation under IRC Section 162(m) following the Company becoming a publicly traded entity, partially offset by net excess tax benefits recognized from share-based compensation and research and development tax credits. Non-deductible executive compensation under IRC Section 162(m) did not impact the effective tax rate in prior-year comparative periods since the Company was not yet a publicly traded entity.

Current report
Warehouse Line of Credit
Current report
In July 2025, we, through our subsidiary Wealthfront Home Lending, LLC, entered into a master terms agreement for a mortgage loan warehouse facility (the “Warehouse Line”) with a third-party financial institution to provide a warehouse line of up to $10.0 million. The Warehouse Line is utilized exclusively to fund the origination of residential mortgage loans held for sale. Borrowings under the facility are structured as repurchase transactions secured by the underlying pledged mortgage loans and related assets, and are repaid through proceeds received from sales of the loans to third-party investors.
Current report
Interest on outstanding draws accrues at the underlying promissory note rate, subject to a minimum rate of 6.00% per annum, plus a transaction funding fee of $100 per loan purchased. Outstanding borrowings under the Warehouse Line were $5.1 million and $0.2 million as of July 31, 2026 and January 31, 2026, respectively.

Previous report
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.
Previous 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:
Previous 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.
Previous 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.
Previous 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.

As of July 31, 2026, our platform served 1.5 million funded clients and had $99.0 billion in platform assets reflecting the deep trust we have established through fundamentally aligned incentives and a commitment to our clients' financial success.
Previous wording
Our revenue, earned primarily from platform asset-based fees, grows as clients’ wealth increases and they trust us with more assets. This aligns our incentives directly with our clients’ long-term financial success, allowing us to focus solely on growing and maintaining their wealth. We primarily generate revenue from cash management and investment advisory products. Cash management revenue is primarily earned from fees received for the delivery of cash management services, including our cash sweep program.1 Investment advisory revenue consists of fees charged for investment advisory and portfolio management services. Investment advisory fees are earned based on the market value, less fee waivers, of investment advisory assets. Other revenue primarily consists of fees earned from clients’ borrowings on margin and proxy distribution revenue earned through a partnership with a third-party investor communications company.

Previous wording
Platform assets were $96.6 billion as of April 30, 2026, an increase of $15.7 billion, or 19%, compared to April 30, 2025. The increase in platform assets was primarily due to a 3% year-over-year increase in cash management assets and a 39% year-over-year increase in investment advisory assets.
Current wording
Platform assets were $99.0 billion as of July 31, 2026, an increase of $10.8 billion, or 12%, compared to July 31, 2025. The increase in platform assets is due to a 30% year-over-year increase in investment advisory assets, partially offset by a 4% year-over-year decrease in cash management assets.

Net deposits: We define “net deposits” as the value of all assets clients have placed into products on our platform, net of withdrawals, over a defined period of time. We exclude changes in value attributable to financial market performance from this metric. We view net deposits as an important barometer of our ability to scale and grow organically and accumulate assets onto our platform. We view the relevant metric as net deposits on a platform-wide basis, not by individual product. Although net deposits can vary by product based on the economic environment, as described below, total net deposits provides a more comprehensive view of our growth because our platform offers diverse financial products that are designed to perform under a wide range of economic conditions, allowing the business to maintain resilience and increase total platform assets across market cycles and through extraordinary events.

Previous wording
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 wording
Net deposits were $1.1 billion during the three months ended July 31, 2026, a decrease of $2.6 billion, or 71%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decline was primarily due to 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. This led to lower cash management net deposits, partially offset by higher investment advisory net deposits.

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 26% 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.
Previous wording
Funded clients: We define “funded clients” as clients with balances greater than zero or that have been greater than zero on at least one occasion during the 45 consecutive calendar days ending as of the measurement date. Funded clients include clients with a zero balance across all accounts as of the measurement date if they had greater than zero balances in at least one account within 45 calendar days prior to the measurement date. Individuals who shared funded joint accounts are each considered to be a separate funded client. The number of funded clients is as of a stated date and reflects our scale and monetization potential.

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 expense, (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.

Cash management primarily consists of fees earned from program banks in our cash sweep program with respect to clients’ cash swept to each program bank (“Cash Account fees”). Cash Account fees are recognized daily and received on a monthly basis in arrears. We recognize Cash Account fees on a gross basis. We offer a referral incentive program for Cash Accounts whereby both the referred and referring clients receive a promotional benefit on Cash Account balances for a limited period of time. Consideration paid, additional interest, to a referred client is accounted for as a reduction to Cash Account fees. Consideration paid, additional interest, to clients for referring a new client is accounted for as a marketing cost within our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The amount of consideration paid in connection with Cash Account referrals through this promotional benefit program varies based on the Cash Account balance of each client participating in the program, as each such client receives a benefit in the form of an increased APY being passed along to that client for a period of time. We also offer a promotional benefit for a limited period of time to new clients that sign-up and to clients who enable direct deposits into their Cash Accounts. These benefits are also accounted for as a reduction to Cash Account fees. From time to time we have also paid consideration to clients in connection with Cash Account referrals in the form of a fixed amount flat fee cash bonus.

Investment advisory consists of fees charged for investment advisory and portfolio management services. Investment advisory fees are earned based on a percentage applied to the market value, less fee waivers, of assets held in client accounts at the close of market. Investment advisory fees are recognized daily and charged to client accounts on a monthly basis in arrears. Advisory fee waivers are offered in connection with certain investing account referrals to each of the referred and referring clients on a portion of each such client’s own investing account balance, and such advisory fee waivers are accounted for as a reduction to investment advisory fees. We may also pay consideration to new clients in connection with investing account referrals in the form of a partial deposit match on deposits placed in the new client’s account within a specified period of time. Such consideration paid to a referred client is accounted for as a reduction to investment advisory fees, while the consideration paid to clients for referring a new client is accounted for as a marketing expense within our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

A large portion of our cost of revenue is variable and tied to Cash Account assets, new and existing clients and accounts, or money movement volumes. As the assets on our platform increase, the costs associated with maintaining and moving these assets to and from our platform also increase.

During the three months ended April 30, 2026, share-based compensation reflected the ongoing, time-based vesting of outstanding equity awards. During the three months ended April 30, 2025, share-based compensation for these awards was not yet recognized because the performance-based qualifying event, such as an IPO, had not occurred and therefore could not be considered probable. See Note 12. — Stock-Based Compensation of our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for more information.
Current wording
During the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, share-based compensation reflected the ongoing, service-based vesting of outstanding equity awards including dual-trigger RSUs issued prior to the IPO. Upon completion of the IPO, the performance-based qualifying event was satisfied, and the remaining dual-trigger awards are now subject only to the service-based vesting condition and expensed upon satisfaction of this condition. During the three and six months ended July 31, 2025, share-based compensation for dual-trigger RSUs was not yet recognized because the performance-based qualifying event, such as an IPO, had not occurred and therefore could not be considered probable.

Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended July 31, 2026 and July 31, 2025
Previous wording
Total revenue increased by $6.0 million, or 7% for the three months ended April 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by an increase in investment advisory assets.
Current wording
Total revenue increased by $0.8 million, or 1%, and $6.7 million, or 4%, for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily driven by an increase in investment advisory assets.
Previous wording
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.
Current wording
Cash management revenue decreased by $7.1 million, or 10%, and $8.0 million, or 6%, for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decline in cash management revenue was primarily attributable to a 10% and 7% decrease in the annualized cash management fee rate for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decline in the annualized cash management fee rate was primarily due to APY boosts from client incentives and the inherent mathematical impact of converting annual percentage rates (APR) to annual percentage yields (APY) in a declining rate environment.
Previous wording
Investment advisory revenue increased by $6.4 million, or 32% for the three months ended April 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in investment advisory revenue was primarily driven by a 34% increase in the average balance of investment advisory assets for the three months ended April 30, 2026 compared to the same period in the prior year. The annualized investment advisory fee rate declined by 2% for the three months ended April 30, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year. The annualized investment advisory fee rate for the three months ended April 30, 2026 was consistent with the prior year period when using the daily average balance instead of the simple average. Utilizing daily average balances neutralizes the impacts of significant investment advisory asset appreciation (depreciation) and net deposits that occur throughout the comparison periods that are not always captured using the simple average of beginning and ending quarter balances.
Current wording
Investment advisory revenue increased by $6.8 million, or 31%, and $13.1 million, or 31%, for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase in investment advisory revenue was primarily driven by a 35% and 30% increase in the average balance of investment advisory assets for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The annualized investment advisory fee rate declined 3% for the three months ended July 31, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by the impact of one-time client incentives tied to the launch of custodial accounts. The annualized investment advisory fee rate increased by 1% for the six months ended July 31, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year. The annualized investment advisory fee rate for the six months ended July 31, 2026 was consistent with the prior year period when using the daily average balance instead of the simple average.

Current wording
Other revenue increased by approximately $1.1 million, or 525%, and $1.6 million, or 272%, for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase in other revenue was primarily due to increased portfolio line of credit net interest margin revenue.
Previous wording
