TABLE OF CONTENTS

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD‑LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) of Robinhood Markets, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “we”, “us”, “RHM”, “Robinhood”, or the “Company”) contains forward-looking statements (as such phrase is used in the federal securities laws), which involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential”, or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. This Quarterly Report includes, among others, forward-looking statements regarding:

•our expectations regarding legal and regulatory proceedings and investigations;

•our intent to continue expanding our operations outside of the United States; and

•our belief that, based on our current level of operations, our primary sources of liquidity will be adequate to meet our current liquidity needs for the next 12 months.

Our forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors that may cause our actual future results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied in this Quarterly Report. Reported results should not be considered an indication of future performance. Factors that contribute to the uncertain nature of our forward-looking statements include, among others:

•our limited operating experience at our current scale;

•the difficulty of managing our business effectively, including the size of our workforce, and the risk of continued declining or negative growth;

•the fluctuations in our financial results and key metrics from quarter to quarter;

•our reliance on transaction-based revenue, including payment for order flow (“PFOF”), and the risk of new regulation or bans on PFOF and similar practices;

•our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and rapidly changing interest rate environments;

•the difficulty of raising additional capital (to provide liquidity needs and support business growth and objectives) on reasonable terms, if at all;

•the need to maintain capital levels required by regulators and self-regulatory organizations (“SROs”);

•the risk that we might mishandle the cash, securities, and cryptocurrencies we hold on behalf of customers, and our exposure to liability for processing, operational, or technical errors in clearing functions;

•the impact of negative publicity on our brand and reputation;

•the risk that changes in business, economic, or political conditions that impact the global financial markets, or a systemic market event, might harm our business;

•our dependence on key employees and a skilled workforce;

•the difficulty of complying with an extensive, complex, and changing regulatory environment and the need to adjust our business model in response to new or modified laws and regulations;

•the possibility of adverse developments in pending litigation and regulatory investigations;

•the effects of competition;

•our need to innovate and invest in new products, services, technologies and geographies in order to attract and retain customers and deepen their engagement with us in order to maintain growth;

•our reliance on third parties to perform some key functions and the risk that processing, operational or technological failures could impair the availability or stability of our platforms;

•the risk of cybersecurity incidents, theft, data breaches, and other online attacks;

•the difficulty of processing customer data in compliance with privacy laws;

•our need as a regulated financial services company to develop and maintain effective compliance and risk management infrastructures;

•the risks associated with incorporating artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies into some of our products and processes;

•the volatility of cryptocurrency prices and trading volumes;

•the risk that our platforms and services could be exploited to facilitate illegal payments; and

•the risk that substantial future sales of Class A common stock in the public market, or the perception that they may occur, could cause the price of our stock to fall.

Because some of these risks and uncertainties cannot be predicted or quantified and some are beyond our control, you should not rely on our forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. More information about potential risks and uncertainties that could affect our business and financial results is included in the section of this Quarterly Report titled “Risk Factors” and our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), all of which are available on the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment; new risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risks nor identify all uncertainties. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements might not be achieved and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Except as otherwise noted, all forward-looking statements are made as of the date we file this Quarterly Report, and are based on information and estimates available to us at this time. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, performance, or achievements. Except as required by law, Robinhood assumes no obligation to update any of the statements in this Quarterly Report whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances, or otherwise. You should read this Quarterly Report with the understanding that our actual future results, performance, events, and circumstances might be materially different from what we expect.
