Previous wording

We have experienced historical growth and we expect to continue to invest broadly across our organization to support our growth. Our revenue was $90.5 million and $84.5 million for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our number of employees has grown to 396 as of April 30, 2026 from 345 as of April 30, 2025. Although we have experienced growth in the past, we may not sustain our current growth rates, and we cannot assure you that our investments to support our growth will be successful. Even if our revenue continues to increase, we expect our revenue growth rate to decline in the future as our business matures and our platform achieves more widespread adoption. Accordingly, our historical growth makes it difficult to evaluate our business and future prospects and you should not rely on the revenue growth of any prior quarterly or annual period as an indication of our future performance. Overall growth of our revenue will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, our ability to:

Previous wording

Prior to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024, we incurred losses each year since our incorporation in 2007. Our net income was $12.8 million and $25.9 million for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We achieved a net income of $194.4 million and $77.0 million in the fiscal years ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, but incurred a net loss of $42.1 million in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $142.0 million as of January 31, 2026. We expect our operating expenses to increase in the future, including our general and administrative expenses as a result of increased costs associated with operating as a public company and as we continue to invest for our future growth, including investing in our operating infrastructure, developing our platform, products, and services, investing in research and development, and expanding our marketing activity. As a result of these efforts, there is no guarantee that we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability in future periods at the same level or at all. Further, these anticipated increases in operating expenses will negatively affect our operating results if our total revenue does not increase.

Current wording

Prior to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024, we incurred losses each year since our incorporation in 2007. Our net income was $17.8 million and $34.7 million for the three months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and our net accumulated deficit as of July 31, 2026 was $111.4 million. We achieved a net income of $194.4 million and $77.0 million in the fiscal years ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, but incurred a net loss of $42.1 million in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $142.0 million as of January 31, 2026.

Previous wording

The imposition of new tariffs, border taxes, or other barriers to trade may directly or indirectly impact our business, operating results, and financial condition and our stock price. For example, in 2025, the United States announced tariffs on imported goods from most countries. While in February 2026, the Supreme Court of the United States declared unlawful some of the existing U.S. tariffs, it remains uncertain how this decision will affect the existing tariffs or whether additional tariffs will be imposed under other laws. Such U.S. tariffs, and any new or additional retaliatory tariffs that may be imposed by other countries in response, may adversely affect our clients and, consequently, demand for our platform. Moreover, the announcement of these tariffs resulted in significant volatility in the stock market and temporarily resulted in a decrease in platform assets, but fully recovered to pre-announcement levels within one month of the tariffs announcement. We are closely monitoring this evolving situation and there can be no assurance that we will be able to mitigate the impacts of any trade measures on our clients, which could adversely impact our business, operating results, and financial condition and our stock price.

For example, in 2025, the United States announced tariffs on imported goods from most countries. While in February 2026, the Supreme Court of the United States declared unlawful some of the existing U.S. tariffs, the U.S. government has since imposed new tariffs under other statutory authority, certain of which remain subject to ongoing legal challenges. Such U.S. tariffs, and any new or additional retaliatory tariffs that may be imposed by other countries in response, may adversely affect our clients and, consequently, demand for our platform. Moreover, the announcement of these tariffs resulted in significant volatility in the stock market and temporarily resulted in a decrease in platform assets, which fully recovered to pre-announcement levels within one month of the tariffs announcement.

Previous wording

We hold cash and securities at financial institutions in accounts designated as for the benefit of our clients and we maintain our own internal ledgering process with respect to such accounts. We have also entered into partnerships with third parties where we or our partners receive and hold client funds and securities. Our financial partners’ abilities to manage and accurately hold client cash and securities requires a high level of internal controls. We are limited in our ability to influence or manage the controls and processes of third-party partners or vendors and may be dependent on our partners’ and vendors’ operations, liquidity, and financial condition to manage the risk associated with managing or accurately holding client cash or securities. As we maintain, grow, and expand our product and services offerings, we also must scale and strengthen our internal controls and processes, including maintenance and monitoring of client asset balances through our own internal ledgering process, and monitoring our third-party partners’ and vendors’ ability to similarly scale and strengthen. Failure to do so could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition. This is important both to the actual controls and processes and the public perception of the same. Further, any material failure by us or our partners to maintain the necessary controls or to manage client assets and funds appropriately and in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements could result in reputational harm, litigation, regulatory enforcement actions, significant financial losses, lead clients to discontinue or reduce their use of our platform, products, and services, and result in significant penalties and fines and additional restrictions, which could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Further, each of Wealthfront Advisers LLC and Wealthfront Brokerage LLC delivers its investment advisory and brokerage services, respectively, exclusively through software or software-based tools. Although we rigorously design, develop, and test our software before deploying it for our advisory services and we periodically monitor the behaviors of our software after its deployment, it is possible that our software may not perform as intended, due to design error, implementation error, or otherwise. Furthermore, it is possible that clients, Wealthfront Advisers LLC, or Wealthfront Brokerage LLC may experience computer equipment failure, loss of internet access, viruses, or other events that may impair, limit, or prevent us or our clients from accessing or using our software-based advisory or brokerage services. We do not currently maintain an infrastructure to provide investment advisory services other than through our software enabled platform. As a result, the failure of Wealthfront Advisers LLC’s or Wealthfront Brokerage LLC’s software, computer equipment, internet access, viruses, or other events could have a material impact on our reputation, as well as our business, operating results, and financial condition. These risks may be heightened by the rapid growth and complexity of new software or software-based tools, evolving data sets and standards, and market volatility.

Previous wording

Wealthfront Advisers LLC relies on automated investment technology to provide investment advisory and financial planning services, including administration of our clients’ investment portfolios. As investment technology evolves, increasing complexity requires more expertise and efforts to manage and test. No automatic tools are guaranteed to function completely without error. While we believe that automated investment technology improves our services, automated systems are subject to a variety of risks including, but not limited to, technical system flaws, outages, system failures, or latency that could prevent timely trades or rebalancing, or employee tampering or manipulation of those systems, which may result in losses to our clients. The computer software that underlies our automated investing technology are constructed based on models and assumptions that may be inaccurate, may not reflect a client's risk profile and tolerance, including, but not limited to, as a result of incorrect, incomplete or outdated client inputs, and may be subject to errors or bugs that cause the software to operate differently than intended. Even if we institute additional controls, it is possible our automated systems may not behave in accordance with our protocols and processes due to human error or influence. Problems could arise if our investment advisory services do not work as intended, particularly if Wealthfront Advisers LLC fails to detect program errors over an extended period. We may also be found to be liable for such errors, which may include liability for breach of Wealthfront Advisers LLC’s fiduciary duty or applicable law. As a result, dependence on automated systems may further increase the risk of operational system flaws as compared to systems using more constant human managing and oversight. If our automated systems are found to be materially inaccurate, if investors believe these metrics are materially inaccurate, or if we uncover significant inaccuracies in these figures, our reputation could suffer greatly. This could negatively impact our business, operating results, and financial condition. Additionally, some of our systems depend on the accuracy and completeness of information provided by clients, borrowers, and other third parties. If this information is inaccurate, incomplete, or misrepresented, whether intentionally or unintentionally, our systems or models may produce incorrect results or fail to function as intended. Such program errors may not be detected despite our quality assurance practices. Further, as a registered investment adviser, we are subject to periodic examinations with the SEC, during which we are required to provide the SEC with, among other things, information regarding controls we implement in connection with our automated advisory services. In the event the SEC does not find our controls to be sufficient, we may be required to implement additional, and potentially costly, remedial measures to protect our clients’ i…

Previous wording

Additionally, many of our key personnel are vested in a substantial number of shares of our common stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), or stock options. Employees may be more likely to terminate their employment with us if the shares they own or the shares underlying their vested RSUs or options have significantly appreciated in value relative to the original purchase prices of the shares, exercise price of the options, or grant date values of the RSUs, or, conversely, if the exercise price of the options that they hold are significantly above the trading price of our common stock.

Previous wording

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, as discussed in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, and equity, and the amount of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant assumptions and estimates used in preparing our consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the valuation of allowance for credit losses, warrant liabilities, simple agreements for future equity (“SAFEs”), and the 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 our common stock, and the realizability of deferred tax assets, net and uncertain tax positions. Our operating results may be adversely affected if our assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from those in our assumptions, which could cause our operating results to fall below the expectations of industry or financial analysts and investors, potentially resulting in a decline in the market price of our common stock.

As of April 30, 2026, we had stock options and RSUs outstanding that, if fully exercised or vested and settled, as applicable, would result in the issuance of 23,248,431 shares of common stock and 14,686,339 shares of common stock, respectively, and we also had outstanding warrants exercisable for the purchase of 1,378,963 shares of common stock. All of the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise, settlement, or conversion of stock options, warrants, or RSUs, and the shares reserved for future issuance under our equity incentive plans, are registered for public resale under the Securities Act. Accordingly, these shares will be able to be freely sold in the public market upon issuance subject to existing lock-up or market stand-off agreements and applicable vesting requirements.

In March 2026, our board of directors authorized the share repurchase program, under which we may repurchase up to $100.0 million of shares of our outstanding common stock, and as of April 30, 2026, $72.9 million of the original authorized amount remained. The actual timing and amount of repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including stock price, trading volume, market and business conditions, regulatory requirements, and other considerations, all of which may be impacted by factors outside of our control. The share repurchase program could affect the trading price of our common stock, increase volatility, and any repurchases under the program could diminish our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions, investments, or business opportunities, and other general corporate purposes. The share repurchase program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason, and we cannot guarantee that the share repurchase program will be fully consummated, or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value.
