Diluted Loss Per Share of ($0.17); Adjusted Earnings Per Share of $0.27
17% Annualized Organic Flow Growth Rate
Operating Margin Expanded by 560 bps Year over Year; or 770 bps, on an Adjusted Basis
WisdomTree, Inc. (NYSE: WT), a global financial innovator, today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2026.
($23.1) million of net loss ($40.6(1) million of net income, as adjusted), including a loss on extinguishment of convertible notes of $62.3 million, comprised of a loss on extinguishment of $16.9 million associated with the repurchase of $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 3.25% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and a $45.4 million inducement expense related to the repurchase of $275.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 3.25% convertible senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”). See “Non-GAAP Financial Measurements” for additional information.
$152.6 billion of ending AUM, an increase of 5.6% from the prior quarter arising primarily from net inflows and market appreciation.
$5.9 billion of net inflows, primarily driven by inflows into our international developed equity, fixed income and leveraged and inverse products across the United States and Europe.
0.36% average advisory fee, a 1 basis point increase from the prior quarter.
0.42% revenue yield(2), unchanged from the prior quarter.
$159.5 million of operating revenues, an increase of 8.2% from the prior quarter due to higher average AUM and higher other revenues attributable to our European listed exchange-traded products (“ETPs”).
84.4% gross margin(1), a 1.2 point increase from the prior quarter primarily due to higher revenues.
37.2% operating income margin (39.3%(1) as adjusted), a 3.3 point decrease (2.4 point decrease, as adjusted) from the prior quarter primarily due to seasonally higher compensation expense.
$603.75 million issuance of convertible senior notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”), bearing interest at a rate of 4.50% and issued with a conversion price of $21.58 per share. Concurrent with the issuance of the 2031 Notes, we completed separate, privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of our outstanding 2026 Notes (conversion price of $11.04 per share) to exchange $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes for approximately 6.81 million shares of our common stock and with certain holders of our outstanding 2029 Notes (conversion price of $11.82 per share) to exchange $275.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes for approximately $302.7 million in cash and approximately 4.19 million shares of common stock.
$0.03 quarterly dividend declared, payable on May 27, 2026 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 13, 2026.
Update from Jarrett Lilien, WisdomTree President and COO
“This was another quarter of consistent, broad-based execution, with nearly $6 billion of net inflows and continued momentum across the business. What stands out most is the quality and breadth of those flows, with clients engaging across asset classes, geographies and use cases. That speaks to the strength of our platform and our ability to generate growth across market environments. We are not reliant on any single product or theme – our business is becoming increasingly diversified, resilient and positioned to scale.”
Update from Jonathan Steinberg, WisdomTree CEO
“We delivered another quarter of strong execution in a volatile environment, reinforcing the strength of a business that is becoming more diversified, more durable and increasingly capable of compounding growth over time. Our strategy is centered on building a high-quality growth platform – combining organic momentum with disciplined, strategic acquisitions like Ceres Partners and Atlantic House that expand our capabilities, enhance our economics and accelerate our long-term trajectory. We believe this positions WisdomTree to deliver sustained growth, margin expansion and increasing earnings power.”

QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS
Operating Revenues
Operating revenues increased 8.2% from the fourth quarter of 2025, driven by higher average AUM, a higher average advisory fee and increased other revenues attributable to our European listed ETPs, partly offset by lower performance fees. Operating revenues increased 47.5% from the first quarter of 2025, driven by higher average AUM, a higher average advisory fee, revenues arising from our acquisition of Ceres Partners, LLC (the “Ceres Acquisition”) and increased other revenues from our European listed ETPs.
Our average advisory fee was 0.36% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 0.35% for both the first and fourth quarters of 2025.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased 14.2% from the fourth quarter of 2025 primarily due to higher seasonal compensation expenses related to payroll taxes, benefits and other costs associated with year-end bonus payments, as well as acquisition-related costs associated with our acquisition of Atlantic House and higher third-party distribution fees.
Operating expenses increased 35.4% from the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to higher incentive compensation and headcount, as well as increases in fund management and administration expenses, acquisition-related costs, third-party distribution fees and amortization of intangible assets.
Other Income/(Expenses)
Interest expense was essentially unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2025 and increased 102.6% from the first quarter of 2025 due to a higher level of debt outstanding.
Interest income decreased 12.6% from the fourth quarter of 2025 and increased 36.6% from the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to changes in interest rates and the level of interest-earning assets.
During the first quarter of 2026, we recognized a $62.3 million loss related to transactions involving our convertible notes, comprised of a loss on extinguishment of $16.9 million associated with the repurchase of $75.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2026 Notes and a $45.4 million inducement expense related to the repurchase of $275.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2029 Notes.
Contingent consideration related to the Ceres Acquisition increased from $11.8 million on December 31, 2025 to $14.4 million at March 31, 2026, resulting in a $2.6 million loss on remeasurement recognized during the first quarter of 2026.
Other losses and gains, net, was a loss of $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2026. This included net losses of $0.9 million on our financial instruments owned and net losses of $0.5 million on our investments. Gains and losses also generally arise from the sale of gold and cryptocurrency earned from advisory fees paid by our physically-backed gold and crypto ETPs, foreign exchange fluctuations and miscellaneous items.
Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 was negative 58.6%, resulting in income tax expense of $8.5 million. Despite a pre-tax loss for the quarter, we recorded income tax expense primarily due to certain non-deductible amounts associated with the extinguishment of convertible notes, which caused our effective tax rate to differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0%. Other items impacting our effective tax rate included non-deductible executive compensation, partly offset by state and local taxes and tax windfalls associated with the vesting of stock-based compensation awards.
Our adjusted effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 was 25.7%(1).

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASUREMENTS
In an effort to provide additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP information which we believe provides useful and meaningful information. Our management reviews these non-GAAP financial measurements when evaluating our financial performance and results of operations; therefore, we believe it is useful to provide information with respect to these non-GAAP measurements so as to share this perspective of management. Non-GAAP measurements do not have any standardized meaning, do not replace nor are they superior to GAAP financial measurements and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measurements should be considered in the context with our GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measurements contained in this press release include the following:
Adjusted Operating Income, Operating Expenses, Income Before Income Taxes, Income Tax Expense, Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Share
We disclose adjusted operating income, operating expenses, income before income taxes, income tax expense, net income and diluted earnings per share as non-GAAP financial measurements in order to report our results exclusive of items that are non-recurring or not core to our operating business. We believe presenting these non-GAAP financial measurements provides investors with a consistent way to analyze our performance. These non-GAAP financial measurements exclude the following:
Gains or losses on financial instruments owned: We account for our financial instruments owned as trading securities, which requires these instruments to be measured at fair value with gains and losses reported in net income. We exclude these items when calculating our non-GAAP financial measurements as the gains and losses introduce earnings volatility and are not core to our operating business.
Foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses on U.S. dollars held by foreign subsidiaries: GAAP requires account balances to be remeasured into an entity’s functional currency, with resulting gains and losses reported in net income. Foreign subsidiaries holding U.S. dollars remeasure these balances into their functional currencies and recognize the gains and losses. We exclude remeasurement effects from our non-GAAP financial measures, as they introduce earnings volatility, are not core to our operations and arise from balances denominated in our reporting currency.
Tax windfalls and shortfalls upon vesting of stock-based compensation awards: GAAP requires the recognition of tax windfalls and shortfalls within income tax expense. These items arise upon the vesting of stock-based compensation awards and the magnitude is directly correlated to the number of awards vesting/exercised, as well as the difference between the price of our stock on the date the award was granted and the date the award vested or was exercised. We exclude these items when calculating our non-GAAP financial measurements as they introduce earnings volatility and are not core to our operating business.
Amortization of intangible assets and remeasurement of contingent consideration arising from our acquisition of Ceres Partners, LLC: On October 1, 2025, we completed the Ceres Acquisition for aggregate consideration consisting of (i) $275 million in cash payable at closing, subject to customary post-closing adjustments and (ii) contingent consideration of up to $225 million, payable in 2030, contingent upon Ceres Partners, LLC achieving a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) in revenues of 12% to 22% during the measurement period of January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2029. GAAP requires contingent consideration to be re-measured each reporting period with changes in fair value reported in net income. In addition, a portion of the consideration totaling $143.5 million was allocated to intangible assets, which is amortized over 25 years. We exclude changes in fair value of contingent consideration and amortization of intangible assets arising from the Ceres Acquisition when calculating our non-GAAP financial measurements as these items are not core to our operating business.
Other items: Losses related to convertible notes transactions, changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowance, acquisition-related costs, imputed interest on our payable to Gold Bullion Holdings (Jersey) Limited (“GBH”) and gains and losses recognized on our investments are excluded when calculating our non-GAAP financial measurements.
Adjusted Effective Income Tax Rate
We disclose our adjusted effective income tax rate as a non-GAAP financial measurement in order to report our effective income tax rate exclusive of items that are non-recurring or not core to our operating business. We believe reporting our adjusted effective income tax rate provides investors with a consistent way to analyze our income taxes. Our adjusted effective income tax rate is calculated by dividing adjusted income tax expense by adjusted income before income taxes. See above for information regarding the items that are excluded.
Gross Margin and Gross Margin Percentage
We disclose our gross margin and gross margin percentage as non-GAAP financial measurements because we believe they provide investors with a consistent way to analyze the amount we retain after paying third-party service providers to operate our ETPs. These measures also assist us in analyzing the profitability of our products. We define gross margin as total adjusted operating revenues less fund management and administration expenses. Gross margin percentage is calculated as gross margin divided by total adjusted operating revenues.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements relate to future events or our future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and could materially affect results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, the risks described below. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. You should read this press release completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
In particular, forward-looking statements in this press release may include statements about:
anticipated trends, conditions and investor sentiment in the global markets and ETPs;
anticipated levels of inflows into and outflows out of our ETPs;
our ability to deliver favorable rates of return to investors;
competition in our business;
whether we will experience future growth;
our ability to develop new products and services and their potential for success;
our ability to maintain current vendors or find new vendors to provide services to us at favorable costs;
our ability to successfully implement our strategy relating to digital assets and blockchain-enabled financial services, including WisdomTree Connect™ and WisdomTree Prime®, and achieve its objectives;
our ability to successfully operate and expand our business in non-U.S. markets;
the effect of laws and regulations that apply to our business;
the potential benefits arising from our acquisitions of Ceres Partners, LLC, and Atlantic House Holdings Limited, including financial or strategic outcomes; and
our ability to successfully implement our strategic goals relating to the acquisitions and integrate the acquired businesses.
Our business is subject to many risks and uncertainties, including without limitation:
declining prices of securities, gold and other precious metals and other commodities and changes in interest rates and general market conditions can adversely affect our business by reducing the market value of the assets we manage or causing WisdomTree ETP investors to sell their fund shares and trigger redemptions;
fluctuations in the amount and mix of our AUM, whether caused by disruptions in the financial markets or otherwise, including but not limited to events such as a pandemic or war, geopolitical conflicts, political events, acts of terrorism and other matters beyond our control, may negatively impact revenues and operating margins, and may impede our ability to refinance our debt upon maturity or increase the cost of borrowing upon a refinancing;
competitive pressures could reduce revenues and profit margins;
we derive a substantial portion of our revenues from a limited number of products, and, as a result, our operating results are particularly exposed to investor sentiment toward investing in the products’ strategies and our ability to maintain the AUM of these products, as well as the performance of these products and market-specific and political and economic risk;
a significant portion of our AUM is held in products with exposure to U.S. and international developed markets, and we therefore have exposure to domestic and foreign market conditions and are subject to currency exchange rate risks;
withdrawals or broad changes in investments in our ETPs by investors with significant positions may negatively impact revenues and operating margins;
we face increased operational, regulatory, financial and other risks as a result of conducting our business internationally, and as we expand our digital assets product offerings and services beyond our existing ETP business;
many of our ETPs have a limited track record, and poor investment performance could cause our revenues to decline; and
we depend on third parties to provide many critical services to operate our business and our ETPs. The failure of key vendors to adequately provide such services could materially affect our operating business and harm WisdomTree ETP investors.
Additional risks include those associated with the acquisitions of Ceres Partners, LLC and Atlantic House Holdings Limited, including the risk that the integrations may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected, or that expected benefits (including projected business growth, realization of synergies, or the ability to raise additional capital into the funds of the acquired businesses) may not be realized as anticipated. Other factors, such as general economic conditions, including currency exchange rate fluctuations, also may have an effect on the results of our operations. For a more complete description of the risks noted above and other risks that could cause our actual results to differ from our current expectations, see “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The forward-looking statements in this press release represent our views as of the date of this press release. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. Therefore, these forward-looking statements do not represent our views as of any date other than the date of this press release.

WisdomTree, Inc. (NYSE: WT), a global financial innovator, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter of 2025.
$40.0 million of net income ($41.2(1) million of net income, as adjusted). See “Non-GAAP” Financial Measurements” for additional information.
$144.5 billion of ending AUM, an increase of 5.3% from the prior quarter arising from market appreciation and AUM related to our acquisition of Ceres Partners, LLC (the “Ceres Acquisition”), partly offset by net outflows.
($0.3) billion of net outflows, primarily driven by outflows from our fixed income products and partly offset by inflows into our international developed equity products.
0.35% average advisory fee, unchanged from the prior quarter.
0.42% adjusted revenue yield(2), a 4 basis point increase from the prior quarter due to revenues arising from the Ceres Acquisition.
$147.4 million of operating revenues, an increase of 17.4% from the prior quarter due to revenues arising from the Ceres Acquisition, higher average AUM and higher other revenues attributable to our European listed exchange-traded products (“ETPs”).
83.2% gross margin(1), a 1 point increase from the prior quarter primarily due to an increase in revenues arising from the Ceres Acquisition.
40.5% operating income margin (41.7%(1) as adjusted), a 4.2 point increase (3.4 point increase, as adjusted) from the prior quarter primarily due to an increase in revenues arising from the Ceres Acquisition.
$0.03 quarterly dividend declared, payable on February 25, 2026 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 11, 2026.
Update from Jarrett Lilien, WisdomTree COO and President
“We closed 2025 with strong momentum, delivering $8.5 billion in net inflows, approximately 8% organic growth, and meaningful margin expansion. Model portfolios and SMAs continue to be a major growth engine, with model AUA surpassing $6 billion as adoption deepens across our client base. Combined with continued strength in ETFs and early traction in digital assets and private markets, we enter 2026 well positioned for sustained growth.”
Update from Jonathan Steinberg, WisdomTree CEO
“WisdomTree is operating from a position of strength, with a diversified and scalable platform delivering growth across asset classes, geographies and channels. What were once emerging initiatives, including models, tokenized assets and private markets, are now real businesses contributing to momentum today while still early in their growth. With disciplined execution and improving guidance, we enter 2026 with conviction in the durability of our strategy and its long-term compounding potential.”

QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS
Operating Revenues
Operating revenues increased 17.4% and 33.2% from the third quarter of 2025 and fourth quarter of 2024, respectively, due to revenues arising from the Ceres Acquisition, higher average AUM and higher other revenues attributable to our European listed ETPs. The increase from the fourth quarter of 2024 was partly offset by a lower average advisory fee.
Our average advisory fee was 0.35% during the third and fourth quarters of 2025 and 0.36% during the fourth quarter of 2024.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased 9.7% from the third quarter of 2025 primarily due to compensation expense arising from the Ceres Acquisition, fund management and administration expenses, and amortization of intangible assets arising from the Ceres Acquisition. These increases were partly offset by lower acquisition-related costs.
Operating expenses increased 15.9% from the fourth quarter of 2024 primarily due to compensation expense arising from the Ceres Acquisition and higher headcount, fund management and administration expenses, third-party distribution fees and amortization of intangible assets arising from the Ceres Acquisition. These increases were partly offset by lower professional fees and marketing expenses.

Interest expense increased 30.2% and 96.3% from the third quarter of 2025 and the fourth quarter of 2024, respectively, due to a higher level of debt outstanding, partly offset by a lower average interest rate.
Interest income decreased 26.2% and increased 38.1% from the third quarter of 2025 and the fourth quarter of 2024, respectively, due to fluctuations in the level of interest-earning assets.
Other gains and losses, net, was a gain of $0.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. This included net gains of $0.1 million on our investments. Gains and losses also generally arise from the sale of gold and cryptocurrency earned from advisory fees paid by our physically-backed gold and crypto ETPs, foreign exchange fluctuations and miscellaneous items.
Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 20.7%, resulting in income tax expense of $10.4 million. The effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to a reduction in the valuation allowance on capital losses and a lower tax rate on foreign earnings. These items were partly offset by state and local income taxes.
Our adjusted effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 23.4%(1).
ANNUAL HIGHLIGHTS
Operating revenues increased 15.4% as compared to 2024 due to revenues arising from the Ceres Acquisition, higher average AUM and higher other revenues attributable to our European listed ETPs, partly offset by a lower average advisory fee. Other income for the prior year also included $4.3 million of other revenues related to legal and other related expenses incurred in connection with a settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding certain statements about the ESG screening process for three ETFs advised by WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. (the “SEC ESG Settlement”) that were covered by insurance.
Operating expenses increased 10.0% as compared to 2024 primarily due to compensation expense arising from the Ceres Acquisition and higher headcount, fund management and administration expenses, acquisition-related costs, third-party distribution fees, occupancy costs and sales and business development expenses. These increases were partly offset by lower professional fees, as the prior year included $5.0 million of expenses incurred in response to an activist campaign and $4.3 million of other revenues related to legal and other related expenses incurred in connection with the SEC ESG Settlement that were covered by insurance.
Significant items reported in other income/(expense) in 2025 include: an increase in interest expense of 60.9% due to a higher level of debt outstanding, partly offset by a lower average interest rate; a loss on extinguishment of convertible notes of $13.8 million arising from the repurchase of $25.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.75% convertible senior notes due 2028; an increase in interest income of 61.8% due to an increase in our interest-earning assets; net gains on our financial instruments owned of $1.9 million and $1.2 million of foreign currency remeasurement losses on U.S. dollars held by foreign subsidiaries. Gains and losses also generally arise from the sale of gold earned on advisory fees paid by our physically-backed gold ETPs, other foreign exchange fluctuations and miscellaneous items.
Our effective income tax rate for 2025 was 23.3%, resulting in an income tax expense of $33.1 million. Our tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to a non-deductible loss on extinguishment of convertible notes and state and local income taxes. These items were partly offset by a reduction in the valuation allowance on capital losses and a lower tax rate on foreign earnings.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASUREMENTS
In an effort to provide additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP information which we believe provides useful and meaningful information. Our management reviews these non-GAAP financial measurements when evaluating our financial performance and results of operations; therefore, we believe it is useful to provide information with respect to these non-GAAP measurements so as to share this perspective of management. Non-GAAP measurements do not have any standardized meaning, do not replace nor are they superior to GAAP financial measurements and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measurements should be considered in the context with our GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measurements contained in this press release include:
Adjusted Revenues, Operating Income, Operating Expenses, Income Before Income Taxes, Income Tax Expense, Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Share
We disclose adjusted revenues, operating income, operating expenses, income before income taxes, income tax expense, net income and diluted earnings per share as non-GAAP financial measurements in order to report our results exclusive of items that are non-recurring or not core to our operating business. We believe presenting these non-GAAP financial measurements provides investors with a consistent way to analyze our performance. These non-GAAP financial measurements exclude the following:
Gains or losses on financial instruments owned: We account for our financial instruments owned as trading securities, which requires these instruments to be measured at fair value with gains and losses reported in net income. We exclude these items when calculating our non-GAAP financial measurements as the gains and losses introduce earnings volatility and are not core to our operating business.
Foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses on U.S. dollars held by foreign subsidiaries: GAAP requires account balances to be remeasured into an entity’s functional currency, with resulting gains and losses reported in net income. Foreign subsidiaries holding U.S. dollars remeasure these balances into their functional currencies and recognize the gains and losses. Beginning in the second quarter of 2025, we began excluding remeasurement effects from our non-GAAP financial measures, as they introduce earnings volatility, are not core to our operations and arise from balances denominated in our reporting currency.
Tax windfalls and shortfalls upon vesting of stock-based compensation awards: GAAP requires the recognition of tax windfalls and shortfalls within income tax expense. These items arise upon the vesting of stock-based compensation awards and the magnitude is directly correlated to the number of awards vesting/exercised, as well as the difference between the price of our stock on the date the award was granted and the date the award vested or was exercised. We exclude these items when calculating our non-GAAP financial measurements as they introduce earnings volatility and are not core to our operating business.
Amortization of intangible assets and remeasurement of contingent consideration arising from our acquisition of Ceres Partners, LLC: On October 1, 2025, we completed the Ceres Acquisition for aggregate consideration consisting of (i) $275 million in cash payable at closing, subject to customary post-closing adjustments and (ii) contingent consideration of up to $225 million, payable in 2030, contingent upon Ceres Partners, LLC achieving a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) in revenues of 12% to 22% during the measurement period of January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2029. GAAP requires contingent consideration to be re-measured each reporting period with changes in fair value reported in net income. In addition, a portion of the consideration totaling $143.5 million was allocated to intangible assets, which is amortized over 25 years. We exclude changes in fair value of contingent consideration and amortization of intangible assets arising from the Ceres Acquisition when calculating our non-GAAP financial measurements as these items are not core to our operating business.
Other items: Changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowance, loss on extinguishment of convertible notes, acquisition-related costs, imputed interest on our payable to Gold Bullion Holdings (Jersey) Limited (“GBH”) and gains and losses recognized on our investments are excluded when calculating our non-GAAP financial measurements. We also offset revenues and related expenses pertaining to legal and other related expenses covered by insurance as the gross presentation required under GAAP serves to overstate our revenues and expenses in the ordinary course of business.
Adjusted Effective Income Tax Rate
We disclose our adjusted effective income tax rate as a non-GAAP financial measurement in order to report our effective income tax rate exclusive of items that are non-recurring or not core to our operating business. We believe reporting our adjusted effective income tax rate provides investors with a consistent way to analyze our income taxes. Our adjusted effective income tax rate is calculated by dividing adjusted income tax expense by adjusted income before income taxes. See above for information regarding the items that are excluded.
Gross Margin and Gross Margin Percentage
We disclose our gross margin and gross margin percentage as non-GAAP financial measurements because we believe they provide investors with a consistent way to analyze the amount we retain after paying third-party service providers to operate our ETPs. These measures also assist us in analyzing the profitability of our products. We define gross margin as total adjusted operating revenues less fund management and administration expenses. Gross margin percentage is calculated as gross margin divided by total adjusted operating revenues.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements relate to future events or our future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and could materially affect results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, the risks described below. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. You should read this press release completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
In particular, forward-looking statements in this press release may include statements about:
anticipated trends, conditions and investor sentiment in the global markets and ETPs;
anticipated levels of inflows into and outflows out of our ETPs;
our ability to deliver favorable rates of return to investors;
competition in our business;
whether we will experience future growth;
our ability to develop new products and services and their potential for success;
our ability to maintain current vendors or find new vendors to provide services to us at favorable costs;
our ability to successfully implement our strategy relating to digital assets and blockchain-enabled financial services, including WisdomTree Connect™ and WisdomTree Prime®, and achieve its objectives;
our ability to successfully operate and expand our business in non-U.S. markets;
the effect of laws and regulations that apply to our business;
the potential benefits arising from our acquisition of Ceres Partners, LLC, including financial or strategic outcomes; and
our ability to successfully implement our strategic goals relating to the acquisition and integrate the acquired business.
Our business is subject to many risks and uncertainties, including without limitation:
declining prices of securities, gold and other precious metals and other commodities and changes in interest rates and general market conditions can adversely affect our business by reducing the market value of the assets we manage or causing WisdomTree ETP investors to sell their fund shares and trigger redemptions;
fluctuations in the amount and mix of our AUM, whether caused by disruptions in the financial markets or otherwise, including but not limited to events such as a pandemic or war, geopolitical conflicts, political events, acts of terrorism and other matters beyond our control, may negatively impact revenues and operating margins, and may impede our ability to refinance our debt upon maturity or increase the cost of borrowing upon a refinancing;
competitive pressures could reduce revenues and profit margins;
we derive a substantial portion of our revenues from a limited number of products, and, as a result, our operating results are particularly exposed to investor sentiment toward investing in the products’ strategies and our ability to maintain the AUM of these products, as well as the performance of these products and market-specific and political and economic risk;
a significant portion of our AUM is held in products with exposure to U.S. and international developed markets, and we therefore have exposure to domestic and foreign market conditions and are subject to currency exchange rate risks;
withdrawals or broad changes in investments in our ETPs by investors with significant positions may negatively impact revenues and operating margins;
we face increased operational, regulatory, financial and other risks as a result of conducting our business internationally, and as we expand our digital assets product offerings and services beyond our existing ETP business;
many of our ETPs have a limited track record, and poor investment performance could cause our revenues to decline; and
we depend on third parties to provide many critical services to operate our business and our ETPs. The failure of key vendors to adequately provide such services could materially affect our operating business and harm WisdomTree ETP investors.
Additional risks include those associated with the acquisition of Ceres Partners, LLC, including the risk that integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected, or that expected benefits (including projected business growth or the ability to raise additional capital into the funds of the acquired business) may not be realized as anticipated. Other factors, such as general economic conditions, including currency exchange rate fluctuations, also may have an effect on the results of our operations. For a more complete description of the risks noted above and other risks that could cause our actual results to differ from our current expectations, see “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and in subsequent reports filed with or furnished to the SEC.
The forward-looking statements in this press release represent our views as of the date of this press release. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. Therefore, these forward-looking statements do not represent our views as of any date other than the date of this press release.

Record $13.5 billion in net inflows for the quarter with AUM reaching record $55.8 billion
Net inflow market share of 23.8% for the quarter
Declares $0.08 quarterly dividend
NEW YORK, May 1, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WisdomTree Investments, Inc. (WETF), an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") and exchange-traded product ("ETP") sponsor and asset manager today reported net income of $12.1 million for the first quarter of 2015 or $0.09 per share on a fully diluted basis. This compares to $30.2 million in the first quarter of 2014 (which included a non-recurring tax benefit of $13.7 million) and $9.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Included in the quarter was a loss of $1.8 million, or $0.01 per diluted EPS, associated with the Company`s European listed ETP business, which was acquired in April 2014.
WisdomTree CEO and President Jonathan Steinberg said, "We reported a record $13.5 billion in net inflows in the first quarter in the U.S., making WisdomTree one of the fastest-growing companies within the ETF and broader asset management industry in 2015 to date. WisdomTree`s industry-leading growth underscores our ability to identify and disseminate useful and differentiated investment solutions to an ever-growing ETF market. We also recorded record revenues and pre-tax earnings in the quarter."
"Now the sixth largest ETP sponsor in the world with $61.2 billion in AUM globally, we are continuing to experience strong organic growth in the second quarter, led by our currency hedged equity ETFs. Importantly, we are continuing to plant the seeds for future growth as we execute against the strategic growth initiatives we previously outlined for the year, including investments in people, products and technology."

In evaluating the performance of our US listed equity, fixed income and alternative ETFs against actively managed and index based mutual funds and ETFs, 90.2% of the $49.5 billion invested in our ETFs and 60% (31 of 52) of our ETFs outperformed their comparable Morningstar average since inception as of March 31, 2015.

First Quarter Financial Discussion
Revenues
Total revenues increased 40.1% from the first quarter of 2014 and 21.3% compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 to a record $60.1 million primarily due to higher average AUM from strong inflows. Revenues from our European listed ETPs, which were acquired in April 2014, increased to $0.6 million from $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 primarily due to higher inflows for the Boost branded ETPs. The average advisory fee for our US listed ETFs increased to 0.52% as compared to 0.51% for the first quarter of 2014 due to the change in the mix of our AUM and remained the same at 0.52% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2014.
Margins
Gross margin for our US listed ETFs, which is our total revenues less fund management and administration expenses and third party sharing arrangements, was 83.2% in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to 78.6% in the first quarter of 2014 and 82.5% in the fourth quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily due to beneficial pricing changes for our fund accounting, administration and custody services, which took effect in April 2014, as well as higher average AUM.
Consolidated pre-tax margin was 35.0% in the first quarter of 2015. Pre-tax margin for our U.S. listed ETFs was 38.3% on average U.S. listed AUM of $46.4 billion. The Company`s margins were compressed in the first quarter due to the timing difference between when the Company recorded higher compensation costs from record inflows levels versus when it recognizes the full impact of the revenues from these inflows.
Expenses
Total expenses increased 48.0% from the first quarter of 2014 and 18.8% compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 to $39.1 million. Included in the quarter was $2.4 million of expenses associated with our European listed ETPs.
•Compensation and benefits expense increased 110% from the first quarter of 2014 to $19.6 million due to higher accrued incentive compensation due to our record setting inflow levels experienced in the quarter as well as higher headcount related expenses to support our growth. Included in the quarter was $1.1 million in compensation costs for employees associated with our European listed ETPs. Our headcount was 109 in the US and 136 globally at the end of the quarter.
•Fund management and administration expense increased 10.9% from the first quarter of 2014 to $10.2 million. Fees associated with higher inflow levels, average AUM and number of ETFs increased, and were partly offset by lower fees as a result of changing our fund accounting, administration and custody service provider in April 2014. We also incurred additional costs for our European listed ETPs which were acquired in April 2014. This expense increased 13.8% compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 due to expenses associated with higher inflow levels and additional costs for the WisdomTree branded ETFs which were launched in Europe in the fourth quarter. We had 70 US listed ETFs and 63 European listed ETPs at the end of the quarter.
•Marketing and advertising expense increased 19.3% from the first quarter of 2014 and 7.2% from the fourth quarter to $3.1 million primarily due to higher levels of advertising related activities to support our growth.
•Sales and business development expense increased 46.0% from the first quarter of 2014 to $1.9 million primarily due to higher spending for sales related activities. This expense was relatively unchanged compared to the fourth quarter of 2014.
•Professional and consulting fees decreased 18.5% from the first quarter of 2014 to $1.5 million. In the first quarter of last year, we incurred advisory fees in connection with our acquisition of Boost. This expense decreased 42.9% compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 primarily due to lower fees relating to strategic consulting services.
•Occupancy, communication and equipment expense was essentially unchanged at $0.9 million as compared to the first and fourth quarters of last year.
•Depreciation and amortization expense was also relatively unchanged at $0.2 million as compared to the first and fourth quarters of last year.
•Third-party sharing arrangements expense increased to $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the first quarter of 2014 primarily due to higher fees for our marketing agents in Latin America and listing our ETFs on a third party platform.
•Acquisition contingent payment expense was $0.3 million in the first quarter. This represents the current expense accrual for expected payments due to the former Boost shareholders related to our acquisition in April 2014 and is primarily driven by increased AUM derived from our European business.
•Income tax expense was $9.0 million for the first quarter of 2015. The effective tax rate on our US listed ETF business increased to 39.4% from 38.3% in the fourth quarter of last year due to state taxes. The Company`s overall effective tax rate was 42.6% due to the non-deductibility of losses in our European ETP business. These losses may be recognized in the future after the European business is profitable. The Company recorded a tax benefit of $13.7 million in the first quarter of last year related to its deferred tax asset, which previously had been recorded with a full valuation allowance.
Balance Sheet
As of March 31, 2015, the Company had total assets of $217.9 million which consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents and investments of $173.3 million. There were approximately 135.6 million shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2015. Fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 137.3 million for the first quarter.
Quarterly Dividend and Stock Buyback
The Company`s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share of the Company`s common stock. The dividend will be paid on May 27, 2015 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 13, 2015. In addition, during the quarter, the Company purchased approximately 773,000 shares for $14.1 million.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management`s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements relate to future events or our future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, the risks described below. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. You should read this press release completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
In particular, forward-looking statements in this press release may include statements about:
•anticipated trends, conditions and investor sentiment in the global markets and ETPs;
•anticipated levels of inflows into and outflows out of our ETPs;
•our ability to deliver favorable rates of return to investors;
•our ability to develop new products and services;
•our ability to maintain current vendors or find new vendors to provide services to us at favorable costs;
•our ability to successfully expand our business into non-U.S. markets;
•timing of payment of our cash income taxes;
•competition in our business; and
•the effect of laws and regulations that apply to our business.
Our business is subject to many risks and uncertainties, including without limitation:
•Recent historical growth may not provide an accurate representation of the growth we may experience in the future, which may make it difficult to evaluate our future prospects.
•Challenging global market conditions associated with declining prices of securities can adversely affect our business by reducing the market value of the assets we manage or causing customers to sell their fund shares and trigger redemptions.
•Fluctuations in the amount and mix of our AUM may negatively impact revenue and operating margin.
•We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from a limited number of products - in particular two funds, the WisdomTree Europe Hedged Equity Fund and the WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund - and, as a result, our operating results are particularly exposed to the performance of those funds, investor sentiment toward the strategies pursued by those funds and our ability to maintain the AUM of those funds.
•Most of our AUM are held in our U.S. listed ETFs that invest in foreign securities and we therefore have substantial exposure to foreign market conditions and are subject to currency exchange rate risks.
•We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from international hedged equity ETFs and are exposed to the market-specific political and economic risks, as well as general investor sentiment regarding monetary policy of those markets.
•We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from products invested in securities of Japanese and European companies and are exposed to the market-specific political and economic risks, as well as general investor sentiment regarding future growth of those markets and currency fluctuations.
•We derive a significant portion of our revenue from products invested in emerging markets and are exposed to the market-specific political and economic risks as well as general investor sentiment regarding future growth of those markets.
•Many of our ETPs and ETFs have a limited track record, and poor investment performance could cause our revenue to decline.
•We depend on third parties to provide many critical services to operate our business and our ETPs and ETFs. The failure of key vendors to adequately provide such services could materially affect our operating business and harm our customers.
Other factors, such as general economic conditions, including currency exchange rate fluctuations, also may have an effect on the results of our operations. For a more complete description of the risks noted above and other risks that could cause our actual results to differ from our current expectations, please see the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Company`s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
The forward-looking statements in this press release represent our views as of the date of this press release. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. Therefore, these forward-looking statements do not represent our views as of any date other than the date of this press release.

Our management reviews these non-GAAP financial measurements when evaluating our financial performance and results of operations; therefore, we believe it is useful to provide information with respect to these non-GAAP measurements so as to share this perspective of management. Non-GAAP measurements do not have any standardized meaning, do not replace nor are superior to GAAP financial measurements and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measurements should be considered in the context with our GAAP results. We disclose gross margin as a non-GAAP financial measurement to allow investors to analyze our revenues less the direct costs paid to third parties attributable to those revenues. We disclose the results of our US listed ETF business to allow investors to better compare our results to the prior year as in April 2014, we acquired Boost ETP, a UK based ETP sponsor.

$0.08 diluted net income EPS
Pre-tax income increases 35% and revenues increase 19% from year ago quarter
Declares $0.08 quarterly dividend and $100 million share buyback program
Lowers baseline U.S. tax rate to approximately 38%
NEW YORK, Oct. 31, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WisdomTree Investments, Inc. ( WETF), an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") and exchange-traded product ("ETP") sponsor and asset manager, today reported net income of $10.6 million or $0.08 per diluted EPS in the third quarter. Pre-tax income was $20.3 million in the third quarter, an increase of 35.4% from the third quarter of 2013 and 0.6% from the second quarter of 2014. Pre-tax income is comparable to previous periods since prior to 2014, the Company did not record tax expense because of its net operating losses.
Included in the quarter was a loss of $1.5 million, or $0.01 per diluted EPS, associated with the Company's European listed ETP business, which was acquired in April 2014. The Company also lowered its U.S. income tax rate to approximately 38% from 45% (see "Income Taxes" for further discussion).
WisdomTree CEO and President Jonathan Steinberg said, "WisdomTree reported another quarter of record revenues and strong financial results. Despite the challenging market, net inflow levels increased from the second quarter to $748 million."
Mr. Steinberg continued, "The growing scale and positive momentum of our business is driving powerful cash generation. In addition, we are lowering our tax rate which will increase our earnings going forward, further propelling WisdomTree to a position of financial strength. As a result, we believe the time is right to institute a new component of our capital management program."
Capital Return Program - Quarterly Dividend and Share Buyback
The Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share of the Company's common stock. The dividend will be paid on November 26, 2014, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 12, 2014.
The Board also authorized the Company to purchase up to $100 million of its common stock over three years, including purchases to offset future equity grants made under the Company's equity plans. Purchases under this program will be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions. This authority may be exercised from time to time and in such amounts as market conditions warrant, and subject to regulatory considerations. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, market conditions, and other corporate liquidity requirements and priorities. The repurchase program may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice.
"We have structured a capital management plan which reflects WisdomTree's strength, strategy and commitment to our shareholders. With $164 million in cash and investments, we are confident we can continue to profitably grow the business and reinvest aggressively for future growth while continuing to generate surplus cash," added Mr. Steinberg.

Third Quarter Financial Discussion
Revenues
Total revenues increased 18.9% from the third quarter of 2013 and 6.8% compared to the second quarter of 2014 to $47.1 million primarily due to higher average AUM and average fee capture. Included in the third quarter was $0.2 million in revenues from our European listed ETPs, which were acquired in April 2014. Our average advisory fee for our U.S. listed ETFs was 0.52% as compared to 0.51% for the third quarter of 2013 and 0.51% in the second quarter of 2014.
Margins
Gross margin for our U.S. listed ETFs, which is our total revenues less fund management and administration expenses and third party sharing arrangements, was 82.2% in the third quarter of 2014 as compared to 76.9% in the third quarter of 2013 and 82.4% in the second quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily due to beneficial pricing changes for our fund accounting, administration and custody services, which took effect April 2014.
Pre-tax margin was 43.0% in the third quarter of 2014 as compared to 37.8% in the third quarter of 2013 and 45.6% in the second quarter of 2014. Pre-tax margin for our U.S. listed ETFs was 46.6% in the quarter.
Expenses
Total expenses increased 8.9% from the third quarter of 2013 and 11.9% compared to the second quarter of 2014 to $26.9 million. Included in the quarter was $1.8 million of expenses associated with our European listed ETPs.
• Compensation and benefits expense increased 3.5% from the third quarter of 2013 to $10.0 million as lower accrued incentive compensation due to our inflow levels were offset by higher headcount related expenses to support our growth. In addition, we incurred higher compensation costs due to our acquisition of Boost in April 2014. This expense increased 32.3% as compared to the second quarter of 2014 primarily due to higher accrued incentive compensation and headcount related expenses. Our global headcount was 114 at the end of the third quarter of 2014.
• Fund management and administration expense decreased 3.7% from the third quarter of 2013 to $8.5 million. This decrease was primarily due to the transfer of our fund accounting, administration and custody services to State Street, despite the higher average AUM. Partly offsetting this decrease was $0.3 million of expenses for our European listed ETPs. This expense increased 8.3% from the second quarter of 2014 primarily due to variable costs related to higher average AUM. We had 69 U.S. listed ETFs and 42 European listed ETPs at the end of the third quarter of 2014.
• Marketing and advertising expense increased 64.5% from the third quarter of 2013 and 22.6% from the second quarter of 2014 to $3.3 million primarily due to higher levels of advertising related activities to support our growth.
• Sales and business development expense decreased 2.0% from the third quarter of 2013 and 25.9% from the second quarter of 2014 to $1.3 million primarily due to lower spending for sales and product development related initiatives.
• Professional and consulting fees increased $0.8 million from the third quarter of 2013 to $1.4 million primarily due to higher strategic corporate consulting costs. This expense decreased 24.8% compared to the second quarter of 2014. The second quarter of 2014 included advisory and other costs associated with our transaction to acquire Boost, which we completed in April 2014.
• Occupancy, communication and equipment expense increased 22.0% from the third quarter of 2013 to $0.9 million primarily due to costs for new office space which we began to occupy in January 2014. This expense was relatively unchanged compared to the second quarter of 2014.
• Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.1 million to $0.2 million from the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to amortization of leasehold improvements for our new office space. This expense was essentially unchanged compared to the second quarter of 2014.
• Third-party sharing arrangements expense decreased 50.0% to $0.2 million in the third quarter of 2014 as compared to the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to lower fees to our third party marketing agent in Latin America. This expense was relatively unchanged as compared to the second quarter of 2014.
• Other expenses remained relatively unchanged as compared to the third quarter of 2013 and second quarter of 2014 at $1.1 million.
Income Taxes
The Company completed state tax planning which resulted in a reduction of its current baseline operating tax rate in the U.S. from 45% to approximately 38%. As a result, the Company recorded a charge to tax expense to reduce the value of its deferred tax asset, which had previously been recorded at a 45% rate. In addition, the Company accounted for non-deductible expenses associated with its acquisition of Boost in April 2014. As a result of these items, the Company recorded a charge of $1.3 million to tax expense. Management will discuss income taxes further on its conference call.
Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2014, the Company had total assets of $202.2 million which consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents of $151.3 million and investments of $12.2 million. There were approximately 131.9 million shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2014. Fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 138.3 million for the third quarter.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements relate to future events or our future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, the risks described below. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. You should read this press release completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
In particular, forward-looking statements in this press release may include statements about:
• anticipated trends, conditions and investor sentiment in the global markets and ETPs;
• anticipated levels of inflows into and outflows out of our ETPs;
• our ability to deliver favorable rates of return to investors;
• our ability to develop new products and services;
• our ability to maintain current vendors or find new vendors to provide services to U.S. at favorable costs;
• our ability to successfully expand our business into non-U.S. markets;
• timing of payment of our cash income taxes;
• competition in our business; and
• the effect of laws and regulations that apply to our business.
Our business is subject to many risks and uncertainties, including without limitation:
• We have only a limited operating history and, as a result, recent historical growth may not provide an accurate representation of the growth we may experience in the future, which may make it difficult to evaluate our future prospects.
• Challenging market conditions associated with declining prices of securities can adversely affect our business by reducing the market value of the assets we manage or causing customers to sell their fund shares and trigger redemptions.
• Fluctuations in the amount and mix of our AUM may negatively impact revenue and operating margin.
• Most of our assets under management are held in our U.S. listed ETFs that invest in foreign securities and we therefore have substantial exposure to foreign market conditions and are subject to currency exchange rate risks.
• We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from products invested in emerging markets and are exposed to the market-specific political and economic risks as well as general investor sentiment regarding future growth of those markets.
• We derive a substantial amount of our revenue from products invested in securities of Japanese companies and are exposed to the market-specific political and economic risks as well as general investor sentiment regarding future growth of those markets and currency fluctuations between the Japanese Yen and the U.S. Dollar.
• We derive a majority of our revenue from a limited number of products -- in particular one fund, WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund, that accounted for approximately 30% of our ETF AUM -- and, as a result, our operating results are particularly exposed to the performance of those funds, investor sentiment toward the strategies pursued by those funds and our ability to maintain the assets under management of those funds.
• Our ETPs and ETFs have a limited track record, and poor investment performance could cause our revenue to decline.
• We depend on other third parties to provide many critical services to operate our business and our ETPs and ETFs. The failure of key vendors to adequately provide such services could materially affect our operating business and harm our customers.
Other factors, such as general economic conditions, including currency exchange rate fluctuations, also may have an effect on the results of our operations. For a more complete description of the risks noted above and other risks that could cause our actual results to differ from our current expectations, please see the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
The forward-looking statements in this press release represent our views as of the date of this press release. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. Therefore, these forward-looking statements do not represent our views as of any date other than the date of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measurements
In an effort to provide additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP information which we believe provides useful and meaningful information. The non-GAAP financial measurements included in this release include gross margin, gross margin percentage and our operating results for our U.S. listed ETF business. Our management reviews these non-GAAP financial measurements when evaluating our financial performance and results of operations; therefore, we believe it is useful to provide information with respect to these non-GAAP measurements so as to share this perspective of management. Non-GAAP measurements do not have any standardized meaning, do not replace nor are superior to GAAP financial measurements and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measurements should be considered in the context with our GAAP results. We disclose gross margin as a non-GAAP financial measurement to allow investors to analyze our revenues less the direct costs paid to third parties attributable to those revenues. We disclose the results of our U.S. listed ETF business to allow investors to better compare our results to the prior year as in April 2014, we acquired Boost ETP, a UK based ETP sponsor.

First Quarter Financial Discussion
Revenues
Total revenues increased 46.3% to $42.9 million as compared to the first quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher average AUM. Revenues decreased 0.6% compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 due to two less revenue days in the first quarter. Our average advisory fee was 0.51% as compared to 0.54% for the first quarter of 2013 and 0.51% in the fourth quarter of 2013 due to a change in mix of our ETFs.
Margins
Our gross margin, which is our total revenues less fund management and administration expenses and third party sharing arrangements, was 78.6% in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to 71.6% in the first quarter of 2013 and 78.2% in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Our pre-tax margin was 38.4% in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to 26.8% in the first quarter of 2013 and 38.2% in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Expenses
Total expenses increased 23.1% to $26.4 million from $21.5 million in the first quarter of 2013. Total expenses decreased 0.9% from $26.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. Included in the quarter was $0.8 million of costs associated with our acquisition of Boost and $0.5 million in non-recurring costs for transitioning our fund accounting and administration services.
Compensation and benefits expense increased 25.0% to $9.4 million compared to the first quarter of 2013. This increase was primarily due to higher headcount related expenses to support our growth as well as higher payroll taxes associated with 2013 bonus payments.
Compensation and benefits expense decreased 2.9% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 primarily due to lower accrued incentive compensation partly offset by higher payroll taxes and stock based compensation associated with 2013 bonus awards.
Our headcount at the end of the first quarter of 2014 was 90 compared to 72 at the end of the first quarter of 2013 and 87 at the end of 2013.
Fund management and administration expenses increased 11.5% to $9.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2013. Higher average AUM resulted in a $0.6 million increase in variable fees charged by our third party service providers associated with AUM. In addition, we incurred a non-recurring charge of $0.5 million for transitioning our fund accounting and administration services.
Fund management and administration expenses increased 2.4% compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 primarily due to the transition cost referred to above. Partly offsetting this increase was a decrease in regulatory fees associated with net inflow levels and certain variable fees associated with a decrease in our emerging markets AUM.
We had 62 ETFs at the end of the first quarter of 2014 compared to 47 at the end of the first quarter of 2013 and 61 at the end of 2013.
Marketing and advertising expenses increased to $2.6 million representing an increase of 33.1% from the first quarter and 20.2% from the fourth quarter of last year primarily due to higher levels of advertising related activities to support our growth.
Sales and business development expenses decreased to $1.3 million representing a decrease of 27.8% from the first quarter and 29.6% from the fourth quarter of last year primarily due to lower levels of spending for sales related initiatives.
Professional and consulting fees increased to $1.8 million representing an increase of 192.8% from the first quarter and 91.8% from the fourth quarter of last year primarily due to advisory and other costs associated with our transaction to acquire Boost. In addition, corporate legal fees increased as well as technology consulting expenses associated with our office relocation.
Occupancy, communication and equipment expense increased to $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2014 representing a 138.7% increase from the first quarter of last year primarily due to costs for new office space which we began to occupy in January 2014. This expense decreased 17.7% compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 primarily due to the expiration in January 2014 of the lease for our previous office space. From September 2013 to January 2014, we recognized rent expense for the new office space we were preparing to occupy while continuing to recognize rent expense for the old space we were occupying at the time.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2014 representing a 134.1% increase from the first quarter of last year primarily due to amortization of leasehold improvements for our new office space. This expense was essentially unchanged compared to the fourth quarter of 2013.
Third-party sharing arrangements expense decreased to $0.01 million representing a decrease of 91.0% from the first quarter and 97.8% from the fourth quarter of last year primarily due to lower levels of inflows from our third party marketing agent in Latin America.
Other expenses increased 32.6% to $1.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher independent director fees as well as higher general and administrative expenses. This expense decreased 20.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 primarily due to lower overhead related expenses.
Taxes
The Company recorded a non-recurring tax benefit of $13.7 million in the first quarter to recognize the Company's deferred tax asset, which previously had been reserved with a 100% valuation allowance. The Company expects to record GAAP taxes beginning in the second quarter at a rate of 45%; however, for some time it will not be paying cash taxes due to the size of its net operating losses. The Company will discuss this topic on its conference call.
Balance Sheet
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had total assets of $159.7 million which consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents of $104.8 million and investments of $11.8 million. There were approximately 131.5 million shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2014. Fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding were approximately 138.7 million for the first quarter.

If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. You should read this press release completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
In particular, forward-looking statements in this press release may include statements about:
anticipated trends, conditions and investor sentiment in the global markets;
anticipated levels of inflows into and outflows out of our exchange traded funds;
our ability to deliver favorable rates of return to investors;
our ability to develop new products and services;
our ability to maintain current vendors or find new vendors to provide services to us at favorable costs;
competition in our business; and
the effect of laws and regulations that apply to our business.
Our business is subject to many risks and uncertainties, including without limitation:
We have only a limited operating history and, as a result, recent historical growth may not provide an accurate representation of the growth we may experience in the future, which may make it difficult to evaluate our future prospects.
Challenging market conditions associated with declining prices of securities can adversely affect our business by reducing the market value of the assets we manage or causing WisdomTree ETF shareholders to sell their fund shares and trigger redemptions.
Fluctuations in the amount and mix of our AUM may negatively impact revenue and operating margin.
Most of our assets under management are held in ETFs that invest in foreign securities and we therefore have substantial exposure to foreign market conditions and are subject to currency exchange rate risks.
We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from products invested in emerging markets and are exposed to the market-specific political and economic risks as well as general investor sentiment regarding future growth of those markets.
We derive a substantial amount of our revenue from products invested in securities of Japanese companies and are exposed to the market-specific political and economic risks as well as general investor sentiment regarding future growth of those markets and currency fluctuations between the Japanese Yen and the U.S. Dollar.
We derive a majority of our revenue from a limited number of products--in particular one fund, WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund, that accounted for approximately one third of our ETF AUM--and, as a result, our operating results are particularly exposed to the performance of those funds, investor sentiment toward the strategies pursued by those funds and our ability to maintain the assets under management of those funds.
The WisdomTree ETFs have a limited track record, and poor investment performance could cause our revenue to decline.
We depend on other third parties to provide many critical services to operate our business and the WisdomTree ETFs. The failure of key vendors to adequately provide such services could materially affect our operating business and harm WisdomTree ETF shareholders.
Other factors, such as general economic conditions, including currency exchange rate fluctuations, also may have an effect on the results of our operations. For a more complete description of the risks noted above and other risks that could cause our actual results to differ from our current expectations, please see the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
The forward-looking statements in this press release represent our views as of the date of this press release. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. Therefore, these forward-looking statements do not represent our views as of any date other than the date of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measurements
In an effort to provide additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP information which we believe provides useful and meaningful information. The non-GAAP financial measurements included in this release include gross margin and gross margin percentage. Our management reviews these non-GAAP financial measurements when evaluating our financial performance and results of operations; therefore, we believe it is useful to provide information with respect to these non-GAAP measurements so as to share this perspective of management. Non-GAAP measurements do not have any standardized meaning, do not replace nor are superior to GAAP financial measurements and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measurements should be considered in the context with our GAAP results. We disclose gross margin as a non-GAAP financial measurement to allow investors to analyze our revenues less the direct costs paid to third parties attributable to those revenues.

WisdomTree Announces Fourth Quarter and Year End 2013 Results
GlobeNewswire WisdomTree Investments, Inc.

Diluted EPS $0.12 for the quarter and $0.37 for the year
Record revenues up 83% from year ago quarter and 76% for the year
$2.3 billion net inflows in quarter and record $14.3 billion for the year
NEW YORK, Jan. 31, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WisdomTree Investments, Inc. (WETF), an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") sponsor and asset manager, today reported net income of $16.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, or $0.12 per share on a fully diluted basis. This compares to $5.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $15.0 million in the third quarter of 2013. For the full year, net income was $51.5 million, or $0.37 per share on a fully diluted basis. This compares to $11.0 million in 2012.
WisdomTree CEO and President Jonathan Steinberg commented, "2013 was a year of transformational growth, stellar operating performance and record financial results for WisdomTree. Powered by $14.3 billion in net inflows, our revenues are up 76% for the year, and with the growth of our business we are demonstrating the scale, efficiency and earnings power of our operating model."
Mr. Steinberg continued, "We also continued to invest in our business to position WisdomTree for future growth. During the course of the year we bolstered our product set in important categories like domestic equities, domestic fixed income and currency hedged equities. In total, 15 new products launched in 2013 provide investment solutions for a strengthening U.S. dollar, as well as rising interest rates."
Mr. Steinberg concluded, "We also made important strides at the business level, including the announcement last quarter of a new fund administration and custody services relationship with State Street Bank and Trust Company, a global leader with the infrastructure to support our growth. Today, we announced expansion plans for the European ETF market. As we continue into 2014 with strong momentum, I am excited about the significant opportunities for WisdomTree's expansion and development."

Fourth Quarter Financial Discussion
Revenues
Total revenues increased 83.1% to a record $43.2 million as compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 and 8.9% compared to the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher average AUM as a result of positive net inflows into our ETFs and market appreciation. Our average advisory fee earned was 0.51% as compared to 0.54% for the fourth quarter of 2012 and 0.51% in the third quarter of 2013 due to the majority of our inflows going to our Japan hedged equity ETF (DXJ), which has an expense ratio of 0.48%.
Margins
Our gross margin, which is our total revenues less fund management and administration expenses and third party sharing arrangements, was 78% in the fourth quarter of 2013 as compared to 68% in the fourth quarter of 2012 and 77% in the third quarter of 2013.
Our pre-tax margin was 38% in the third and fourth quarters of 2013 as compared to 22% in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Expenses
Total expenses increased 45.7% to $26.7 million from $18.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Included in the prior year quarter was $0.2 million of net costs related to patent litigation and offering costs. Total expenses increased 8.2% from $24.7 million in the third quarter of 2013.
Compensation and benefits expense increased 56.3% to $9.6 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. This increase was primarily due to higher accrued incentive compensation due to our record level of net inflows in 2013 and higher headcount related expenses to support our growth.
Compensation and benefits expense was essentially unchanged from the third quarter of 2013 as higher accrued incentive compensation was partly offset by lower stock based compensation.
Our headcount at the end of 2013 was 87 compared to 70 at the end of 2012 and 84 at the end of the third quarter of 2013.
Fund management and administration expenses increased 41.1% to $9.0 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. At the end of 2012, we ended our joint venture with BNY Mellon. As a result, we began to record certain operating costs related to our currency and fixed income ETFs, which were previously recognized by BNY Mellon as part of the joint venture. This resulted in approximately $0.5 million in higher costs this quarter, while eliminating the expense of the third-party sharing arrangement. Higher average AUM resulted in a $1.9 million increase in variable fees charged by our third party service providers associated with AUM.
Fund management and administration expenses increased 1.8% compared to the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher average AUM as well as costs associated with new ETFs.
We have 61 ETFs at the end of the year compared to 46 at the end of 2012 and 53 at the end of the third quarter of 2013.
Marketing and advertising expenses increased to $2.1 million representing an increase of 31.8% from the fourth quarter of last year and 5.6% from the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher levels of advertising related activities to support our growth.
Sales and business development expenses increased to $1.8 million representing an increase of 75.5% from the fourth quarter of last year and 41.6% from the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher levels of spending for sales related initiatives.
Professional and consulting fees increased to $0.9 million representing an increase of 18.8% from the fourth quarter of last year and 72.7% from the third quarter of 2013 primarily due advisory costs associated with our transaction to acquire a majority stake in Boost ETP.
Occupancy, communication and equipment expense increased to $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 representing a 196.2% increase from the fourth quarter of last year and 51.2% from the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to costs for new office space which we began to occupy in January 2014.
Third-party sharing arrangements expense decreased 65.0% to $0.5 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 due to the end of our joint venture with BNY Mellon discussed above.
Third-party sharing arrangements expense increased 21.7% compared to the third quarter of 2013 due to higher inflow levels by our marketing agent in Latin America.
Other expenses increased 87.8% to $1.4 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 and increased 23.5% compared to the third quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher general and administrative expenses.

As of December 31, 2013, WisdomTree had total assets of $141.8 million which consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents of $104.3 million and investments of $11.7 million.

Fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding were approximately 140.0 million for the fourth quarter and full year.
Net Operating Loss
The Company's pretax net operating loss carryforward (NOL) was $136.5 million at December 31, 2012. The Company estimates its NOL has increased to approximately $143.0 million as of December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to the tax benefit the Company receives when its employees exercise options or vest in restricted stock. The Company will discuss the treatment of its NOL further on its earnings call.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements relate to future events or our future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, the risks described below. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. You should read this press release completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
In particular, forward-looking statements in this press release may include statements about:
anticipated trends, conditions and investor sentiment in the global markets;
anticipated levels of inflows into and outflows out of our exchange-traded funds;
our ability to deliver favorable rates of return to investors;
our ability to develop new products and services;
our ability to maintain current vendors or find new vendors to provide services to us at favorable costs;
competition in our business; and
the effect of laws and regulations that apply to our business.
Our business is subject to many risks and uncertainties, including without limitation:
We have only a limited operating history and, as a result, recent historical growth may not provide an accurate representation of the growth we may experience in the future, which may make it difficult to evaluate our future prospects.
Challenging market conditions associated with declining prices of securities can adversely affect our business by reducing the market value of the assets we manage or causing WisdomTree ETF shareholders to sell their fund shares and trigger redemptions.
Fluctuations in the amount and mix of our AUM may negatively impact revenue and operating margin.
Most of our assets under management are held in ETFs that invest in foreign securities and we therefore have substantial exposure to foreign market conditions and are subject to currency exchange rate risks.
We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from products invested in emerging markets and are exposed to the market-specific political and economic risks as well as general investor sentiment regarding future growth of those markets.
We derive a substantial amount of our revenue from products invested in securities of Japanese companies and are exposed to the market-specific political and economic risks as well as general investor sentiment regarding future growth of those markets and currency fluctuations between the Japanese Yen and the U.S. Dollar.
We derive a majority of our revenue from a limited number of products--in particular one fund, WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund, that accounted for more than one third of our ETF AUM--and, as a result, our operating results are particularly exposed to the performance of those funds, investor sentiment toward the strategies pursued by those funds and our ability to maintain the assets under management of those funds.
The WisdomTree ETFs have a limited track record, and poor investment performance could cause our revenue to decline.
We depend on other third parties to provide many critical services to operate our business and the WisdomTree ETFs. The failure of key vendors to adequately provide such services could materially affect our operating business and harm WisdomTree ETF shareholders.
Other factors, such as general economic conditions, including currency exchange rate fluctuations, also may have an effect on the results of our operations. For a more complete description of the risks noted above and other risks that could cause our actual results to differ from our current expectations, please see the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2013.
The forward-looking statements in this press release represent our views as of the date of this press release. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. Therefore, these forward-looking statements do not represent our views as of any date other than the date of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measurements
In an effort to provide additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP information which we believe provides useful and meaningful information. The non-GAAP financial measurements included in this release include proforma operating income, proforma operating expenses, proforma pre-tax operating margin, gross margin and gross margin percentage. Our management reviews these non-GAAP financial measurements when evaluating our financial performance and results of operations; therefore, we believe it is useful to provide information with respect to these non-GAAP measurements so as to share this perspective of management. Non-GAAP measurements do not have any standardized meaning, do not replace nor are superior to GAAP financial measurements and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measurements should be considered in the context with our GAAP results. We have disclosed our results excluding certain non-operating items including (1) our patent litigation with Research Affiliates LLC; (2) expenses for the WisdomTree ETF shareholder proxy solicitation; and (3) advisory and other related fees associated with the secondary offering of our common stock in November 2012. Management excludes these items when measuring our financial performance as they are not directly related to our core business of being an ETF sponsor and asset manager. We disclose gross margin as a non-GAAP financial measurement to allow investors to analyze our revenues less the direct costs paid to third parties attributable to those revenues.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WisdomTree Investments, Inc. (WETF), an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") sponsor and asset manager, today reported net income of $15.0 million for the third quarter of 2013, or $0.11 per share on a fully diluted basis. This compares to $4.5 million in the third quarter of 2012 and $12.2 million in the second quarter of 2013.
WisdomTree CEO and President Jonathan Steinberg commented, "WisdomTree continues to drive top line growth with $1.2 billion in net inflows in the quarter, comprised by balanced inflows across domestic, international and emerging market equity ETFs; as well as continued strength in our franchise-leading yen hedged Japan fund. We are effectively capitalizing on the greater awareness of our currency hedged equity family which is translating into significant asset growth in sister products. Importantly, we continue to position the company for future growth and have launched eight new ETFs so far this year."
Mr. Steinberg added, "As we continue to grow and reach economies of scale, we are demonstrating the powerful operating leverage in our business. WisdomTree's pre-tax margins reached 38% on a base of $30.5 billion in average assets under management."
Assets Under Management, Net Inflows and Market Share
ETF assets under management ("AUM") were $31.4 billion at September 30, 2013, up 86.8% from $16.8 billion at September 30, 2012, and up 8.2% from $29.0 billion at June 30, 2013.

WisdomTree's market share of industry net inflows was 2.1% in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to 2.0% in the third quarter of 2012 and 32.2% in the second quarter of 2013.

Third Quarter Financial Discussion
Revenues
Total revenues increased 83.0% to a record $39.6 million as compared to the third quarter of 2012 and 6.2% compared to the second quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher average AUM as a result of positive net inflows into our ETFs and market appreciation. Our average advisory fee earned was 0.51% as compared to 0.54% for the third quarter of 2012 and 0.52% in the second quarter of 2013 due to the majority of our inflows going to our Japan hedged equity ETF (DXJ), which has an expense ratio of 0.48%.
Margins
Our gross margin, which is our total revenues less fund management and administration expenses and third party sharing arrangements, was 77% in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to 68% in the third quarter of 2012 and 74% in the second quarter of 2013.
Our pre-tax margin was 38% in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to 21% (or 22% proforma) in the third quarter of 2012 and 33% in the second quarter of 2013 reflecting the operating scale in our business model.
Expenses
Total expenses increased 44.0% to $24.7 million from $17.1 million in the third quarter of 2012. Included in the prior year quarter was $0.2 million of net costs related to patent litigation. Excluding this cost, total expenses increased 45.9% compared to the third quarter of 2012. Total expenses decreased 1.7% from $25.1 million in the second quarter of 2013.
• Compensation and benefits expense increased 68.3% to $9.6 million compared to the third quarter of 2012. This increase was primarily due to higher accrued incentive compensation due to our record level of net inflows on a year-to-date basis in 2013; higher headcount related expenses to support our growth; and higher stock based compensation expense due to equity awards granted to our employees as part of 2012 year-end compensation.
Compensation and benefits expense increased 2.1% compared to the second quarter of 2013 primarily due to payroll taxes as a result of option exercises as well as increased headcount. Partly offsetting these increases, was lower accrued incentive compensation due to our lower level of net inflows in the third quarter as compared to the second quarter of 2013.
Our headcount at the end of the third quarter of 2013 was 84 compared to 70 at the end of the third quarter of 2012 and 79 at the end of the second quarter of 2013.
• Fund management and administration expenses increased 55.1% to $8.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2012. At the end of 2012, we ended our joint venture with BNY Mellon. As a result, we began to record certain operating costs related to our currency and fixed income ETFs, which were previously recognized by BNY Mellon as part of the joint venture. This resulted in approximately $0.5 million in higher costs this quarter, while eliminating the expense of the third-party sharing arrangement. Higher average AUM resulted in a $2.3 million increase in variable fees charged by our third party service providers associated with AUM.
Fund management and administration expenses decreased 3.4% compared to the second quarter of 2013 primarily due to variable regulatory fees associated with net inflow levels. We also incurred higher expenses in the second quarter due to the annual rebalancing of our international equity ETFs.
• Marketing and advertising expenses increased $1.2 million to $2.0 million compared to the third quarter of 2012 primarily due to higher levels of advertising related activities to support our growth. This expense decreased 7.5% compared to the second quarter of 2013 due to lower levels of advertising related activities.
• Sales and business development expenses increased 57.0% to $1.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2012 primarily due to new product development related activities as well as higher levels of spending for sales related initiatives.
Sales and business development expenses decreased 14.1% compared to the second quarter of 2013 primarily due to lower level of sales related spending.
• Professional and consulting fees decreased 58.5% to $0.5 million compared to the third quarter of 2012 primarily due to lower variable stock based compensation, which ended as of the end of 2012. Professional and consulting fees decreased 17.5% compared to the second quarter of 2013 due to lower level of spending for business consultants.
• Occupancy, communication and equipment expense increased 93.3% to $0.7 million compared to the third quarter of 2012 and increased 22.3% compared to the second quarter of 2013. This increase was primarily due to costs for new office space which we will occupy in January 2014 as well as expense related to commercial rent tax.
• Third-party sharing arrangements expense decreased 68.7% to $0.4 million compared to the third quarter of 2012 due to the end of our joint venture with BNY Mellon discussed above.
Third-party sharing arrangements expense decreased 12.6% compared to the second quarter of 2013 due to lower inflow levels by our marketing agent in Latin America.
• Other expenses increased 35.5% to $1.2 million compared to the third quarter of 2012 and increased 9.7% compared to the second quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher general and administrative expenses.
Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2013, WisdomTree had total assets of $118.3 million which consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents of $87.1 million and investments of $11.6 million.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements relate to future events or our future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, the risks described below. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. You should read this press release completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
In particular, forward-looking statements in this press release may include statements about:
• anticipated trends, conditions and investor sentiment in the global markets;
• anticipated levels of inflows into and outflows out of our exchange traded funds;
• our ability to deliver favorable rates of return to investors;
• our ability to develop new products and services;
• our ability to maintain current vendors or find new vendors to provide services to us at favorable costs;
• competition in our business; and
• the effect of laws and regulations that apply to our business.
Our business is subject to many risks and uncertainties, including without limitation:
• We have only a limited operating history and, as a result, recent historical growth may not provide an accurate representation of the growth we may experience in the future, which may make it difficult to evaluate our future prospects.
• Challenging market conditions associated with declining prices of securities can adversely affect our business by reducing the market value of the assets we manage or causing WisdomTree ETF shareholders to sell their fund shares and trigger redemptions.
• Fluctuations in the amount and mix of our AUM may negatively impact revenue and operating margin.
• Most of our assets under management are held in ETFs that invest in foreign securities and we therefore have substantial exposure to foreign market conditions and are subject to currency exchange rate risks.
• We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from products invested in emerging markets and are exposed to the market-specific political and economic risks as well as general investor sentiment regarding future growth of those markets.
• We derive a substantial amount of our revenue from products invested in securities of Japanese companies and are exposed to the market-specific political and economic risks as well as general investor sentiment regarding future growth of those markets and currency fluctuations between the Japanese Yen and the U.S. Dollar.
• We derive a majority of our revenue from a limited number of products--in particular one fund, WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund, that accounted for more than one third of our ETF AUM at September 30, 2013--and, as a result, our operating results are particularly exposed to the performance of those funds, investor sentiment toward the strategies pursued by those funds and our ability to maintain the assets under management of those funds.
• The WisdomTree ETFs have a limited track record, and poor investment performance could cause our revenue to decline.
• We depend on other third parties to provide many critical services to operate our business and the WisdomTree ETFs. The failure of key vendors to adequately provide such services could materially affect our operating business and harm WisdomTree ETF shareholders.
Other factors, such as general economic conditions, including currency exchange rate fluctuations, also may have an effect on the results of our operations. For a more complete description of the risks noted above and other risks that could cause our actual results to differ from our current expectations, please see the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013.
The forward-looking statements in this press release represent our views as of the date of this press release. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. Therefore, these forward-looking statements do not represent our views as of any date other than the date of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measurements
In an effort to provide additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP information which we believe provides useful and meaningful information. The non-GAAP financial measurements included in this release include proforma operating income, proforma expenses, proforma pre-tax operating margin and gross margin. Our management reviews these non-GAAP financial measurements when evaluating our financial performance and results of operations; therefore, we believe it is useful to provide information with respect to these non-GAAP measurements so as to share this perspective of management. Non-GAAP measurements do not have any standardized meaning, do not replace nor are superior to GAAP financial measurements and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measurements should be considered in the context with our GAAP results. We have disclosed our results excluding certain non-operating items including (1) our patent litigation with Research Affiliates LLC; and (2) expenses for the WisdomTree ETF shareholder proxy solicitation. Management excludes these items when measuring our financial performance as they are not directly related to our core business of being an ETF sponsor and asset manager. We disclose gross margin as a non-GAAP financial measurement to allow investors to analyze our revenues less the direct costs paid to third parties attributable to those revenues.

WisdomTree Announces Second Quarter 2013 Results
GlobeNewswirePress Release: WisdomTree Investments, Inc. – Fri, Jul 26, 2013 7:00 AM EDT..
$5.0 Billion Net Inflows in Quarter
Net Inflow Market Share 29% in Second Quarter, 15% First Half
Record Revenues, Up 83% From Year Ago Quarter
Record Net Income $12.2 Million, Up 56% From Prior Quarter
Diluted EPS $0.09
NEW YORK, July 26, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WisdomTree Investments, Inc. (WETF), an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") sponsor and asset manager, today reported net income of $12.2 million for the second quarter of 2013, or $0.09 per share on a fully diluted basis. This compares to $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2012 and $7.9 million in the first quarter of 2013.
WisdomTree CEO and President Jonathan Steinberg commented, "With $5.0 billion in net inflows for the quarter and nearly $11 billion in the first half of 2013, we continued our positive momentum from the first quarter to achieve a strong second quarter with record market share gains. WisdomTree was the third best asset gatherer across all U.S. mutual fund and ETF complexes in the second quarter according to Morningstar."
Mr. Steinberg continued, "WisdomTree's innovative ETF strategies are powering our top-line growth, with our currency hedged equity and domestic equity families leading our net inflows in the second quarter. While growing our existing funds, we are also seeking to bolster and expand upon the success of these strategies by launching new funds. In the second quarter, we listed two new currency hedged equity funds and our first dividend growth ETF.
Mr. Steinberg concluded, "Our robust asset growth is translating into excellent financial results with record revenues and net income in the second quarter. While we believe the ETF industry is still in its early innings of growth, WisdomTree is already proving the efficiency and scale of our business model: we achieved a 33% pre-tax margin on a base of $28.4 billion in average assets."
Assets Under Management, Net Inflows and Market Share
ETF assets under management ("AUM") were $29.0 billion at June 30, 2013, up 93.1% from $15.0 billion at June 30, 2012, and up 15.4% from $25.1 billion at March 31, 2013. Net inflows for the second quarter of 2013 were $5.0 billion as compared to $0.3 billion in the second quarter of 2012 and $5.9 billion in the first quarter of 2013. WisdomTree's market share of industry net inflows was 29.4% in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to 1.4% in the second quarter of 2012 and 10.8% in the first quarter of 2013. For the first six months of 2013, WisdomTree's market share was 15.2% as compared to 3.4% for the first six months of 2012.

Second Quarter Financial Discussion
Revenues
Total revenues increased 83.1% to a record $37.3 million as compared to the second quarter of 2012 and 27.2% compared to the first quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher average AUM as a result of $5.0 billion of net inflows into our ETFs.
Our average advisory fee earned was 0.52% as compared to 0.54% for the second quarter of 2012 and first quarter of 2013 due to the majority of our inflows arising from our Japan Hedged Equity Fund (DXJ), which is priced at 0.48%.
Margins
Our gross margin, which is our total revenues less fund management and administration expenses and third party sharing arrangements, was 74% in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to 67% in the second quarter of 2012 and 72% in the first quarter of 2013. Higher AUM and the end of our joint venture with BNY Mellon were the primary drivers for the higher gross margin.
Our pre-tax margin was 33% in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to 1% (or 15% proforma) in the second quarter of 2012 and 27% in the first quarter of 2013 reflecting the operating scale in our business model.
Expenses
Total expenses increased 23.8% to $25.1 million from $20.3 million in the second quarter of 2012 and increased 16.8% from $21.5 million in the first quarter of 2013. Included in the prior periods were non-operating items related to patent litigation and ETF shareholder proxy.

Proforma operating expenses (non-GAAP) $25,089 $21,487 $17,257 16.8% 45.4%
• Compensation and benefits expense increased 72.5% to $9.4 million compared to the second quarter of 2012. This increase was primarily due to higher accrued incentive compensation due to our record level of net inflows. In addition, we incurred higher stock based compensation due to equity awards granted to our employees as part of year-end compensation. Lastly, we incurred higher headcount related expenses. Our headcount at the end of the second quarter of 2013 was 79 compared to 66 at the end of the second quarter of 2012.
Compensation and benefits expense increased 26.3% compared to the first quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher accrued incentive compensation due to our strong results.
• Fund management and administration expenses increased 63.6% to $9.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2012. At the end of 2012, we ended our joint venture with BNY Mellon. As a result, we began to record certain operating costs related to our currency and fixed income ETFs, which were previously recognized by BNY Mellon as part of the joint venture. This resulted in approximately $0.6 million in higher costs, while eliminating the expense of the third-party sharing arrangement. Higher average AUM resulted in a $2.7 million increase in portfolio management, fund administration, accounting, index licensing, regulatory and distribution fees. We also incurred $0.3 million in higher printing related fees due to an increase in the number of holders of our ETFs.
Fund management and administration expenses increased 10.7% compared to the first quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher average AUM.
• Marketing and advertising expenses increased 41.9% to $2.2 million compared to the second quarter of 2012 and increased 13.4% compared to the first quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher levels of advertising related activities to support our growth.
• Sales and business development expenses increased 80.5% to $1.5 million compared to the second quarter of 2012 primarily due to new product development related activities as well as higher levels of spending for sales related initiatives.
Sales and business development expenses decreased 15.6% compared to the first quarter of 2013 primarily due to lower level of sales related spending.
• Professional and consulting fees decreased 53.1% to $0.7 million compared to the second quarter of 2012 primarily due to lower variable stock based compensation, which ended as of the end of 2012, partly offset by higher corporate consulting related fees. Professional and consulting fees increased slightly compared to the first quarter of 2013.
• Occupancy, communication and equipment expense increased 57.6% to $0.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2012 and increased 56.8% compared to the first quarter of 2013. This increase was primarily due to $0.2 million in commercial rent tax expense payable to NYC on our office space since 2008.
• Third-party sharing arrangements expense declined 65.2% to $0.4 million compared to the second quarter of 2012 due to the end of our joint venture with BNY Mellon discussed above.
Third-party sharing arrangements expense increased $0.3 million compared to the first quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher inflows raised by our marketing agent in Latin America.
• Other expenses increased 42.8% to $1.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2012 and increased 23.2% compared to the first quarter of 2013 primarily due to higher general and administrative expenses.
Balance Sheet
As of June 30, 2013, WisdomTree had total assets of $97.1 million which consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents of $70.7 million and investments of $11.4 million.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements relate to future events or our future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, the risks described below. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. You should read this press release completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
In particular, forward-looking statements in this press release may include statements about:
• anticipated trends, conditions and investor sentiment in the global markets;
• anticipated levels of inflows into and outflows out of our exchange traded funds;
• our ability to deliver favorable rates of return to investors;
• our ability to develop new products and services;
• our ability to maintain current vendors or find new vendors to provide services to us at favorable costs;
• competition in our business; and
• the effect of laws and regulations that apply to our business.
Our business is subject to many risks and uncertainties, including without limitation:
• We have only a limited operating history and, as a result, recent historical growth may not provide an accurate representation of the growth we may experience in the future, which may make it difficult to evaluate our future prospects.
• Challenging market conditions associated with declining prices of securities can adversely affect our business by reducing the market value of the assets we manage or causing WisdomTree ETF shareholders to sell their fund shares and trigger redemptions.
• Fluctuations in the amount and mix of our AUM may negatively impact revenue and operating margin.
• Most of our assets under management are held in ETFs that invest in foreign securities and we therefore have substantial exposure to foreign market conditions and are subject to currency exchange rate risks.
• We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from products invested in emerging markets and are exposed to the market-specific political and economic risks as well as general investor sentiment regarding future growth of those markets.
• We derive a substantial amount of our revenue from products invested in securities of Japanese companies and are exposed to the market-specific political and economic risks as well as general investor sentiment regarding future growth of those markets and currency fluctuations between the Japanese Yen and the U.S. Dollar.
• We derive a majority of our revenue from a limited number of products--in particular one fund, WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund, that accounted for 34.3% of our ETF AUM at June 30, 2013--and, as a result, our operating results are particularly exposed to the performance of those funds, investor sentiment toward the strategies pursued by those funds and our ability to maintain the assets under management of those funds.
• The WisdomTree ETFs have a limited track record, and poor investment performance could cause our revenue to decline.
• We depend on other third parties to provide many critical services to operate our business and the WisdomTree ETFs. The failure of key vendors to adequately provide such services could materially affect our operating business and harm WisdomTree ETF shareholders.
Other factors, such as general economic conditions, including currency exchange rate fluctuations, also may have an effect on the results of our operations. For a more complete description of the risks noted above and other risks that could cause our actual results to differ from our current expectations, please see the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
The forward-looking statements in this press release represent our views as of the date of this press release. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. Therefore, these forward-looking statements do not represent our views as of any date other than the date of this press release.

In an effort to provide additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP information which we believe provides useful and meaningful information. The non-GAAP financial measurements included in this release include proforma operating income, proforma expenses and proforma pre-tax operating margin. Our management reviews these non-GAAP financial measurements when evaluating our financial performance and results of operations; therefore, we believe it is useful to provide information with respect to these non-GAAP measurements so as to share this perspective of management. Non-GAAP measurements do not have any standardized meaning, do not replace nor are superior to GAAP financial measurements and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

We have disclosed our results excluding certain non-operating items including (1) our patent litigation with Research Affiliates LLC; and (2) expenses for the WisdomTree ETF shareholder proxy solicitation; Management excludes these items when measuring our financial performance as they are not directly related to our core business of being an ETF sponsor and asset manager.

WisdomTree Announces First Quarter 2013 Results
Press Release: WisdomTree Investments, Inc. – Fri, Apr 26, 2013
+0.02
Record $5.9 Billion Net Inflows, 10.8% Market Share
Record Revenues, Up 53% From Year Ago Quarter
Record Net Income $7.9 Million, Up 50% From Prior Quarter, Up Seven Times From Year Ago Quarter
Diluted EPS $0.06
NEW YORK, April 26, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WisdomTree Investments, Inc. (WETF), an exchange-traded fund ("ETF") sponsor and asset manager, today reported net income of $7.9 million for the first quarter of 2013, or $0.06 per share on a fully diluted basis. This compares to $1.1 million, or $0.01 per share on a fully diluted basis, in the first quarter of 2012 and $5.3 million, or $0.04 per share on a fully diluted basis, in the fourth quarter of 2012.
WisdomTree CEO and President Jonathan Steinberg commented, "WisdomTree's net inflows of $5.9 billion represented our best quarter yet and fueled a meaningful acceleration in our organic growth in 2013. The drivers behind this strong top-line growth underscore two important points: First, WisdomTree is innovating and executing at the highest levels -- our currency hedged Japanese equity strategy led the entire ETF industry with $3.9 billion of net inflows in the first quarter. Second, we are seeing balanced growth across our platform in important asset classes. In fact, excluding Japan-related assets, we achieved our second best quarter with $1.9 billion in inflows across our dividend-weighted equity and fixed income strategies."
Mr. Steinberg continued, "Our scalable business model is driving strong top-line growth, expanding margins and earnings. At $27 billion in assets and the fifth largest U.S. ETF sponsor today, WisdomTree has reached an exciting point in our development."
Assets Under Management, Net Inflows and Market Share
ETF assets under management ("AUM") were $25.1 billion at March 31, 2013, up from $15.7 billion at March 31, 2012 and $18.3 billion at December 31, 2012. Net inflows for the first quarter of 2013 were $5.9 billion compared to $2.3 billion in the first quarter of 2012 and $1.1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2012. WisdomTree's market share of industry net inflows was 10.8% in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to 4.3% in the first quarter of 2012 and 1.9% in the fourth quarter of 2012.

First Quarter Financial Discussion
Revenues
Total revenues increased 53.1% to a record $29.3 million as compared to the first quarter of 2012 and 24.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 primarily due to higher average AUM as a result of record $5.9 billion of net inflows into our ETFs. Our average advisory fee earned was unchanged at 0.54% as compared to the first and fourth quarters of 2012.
Margins
Our gross margin, which is our total revenues less fund management and administration expenses and third party sharing arrangements, was 72% in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to 63% in the first quarter of 2012 and 68% in the fourth quarter of 2012. The end of our joint venture with BNY Mellon and higher AUM were the primary drivers for the higher gross margin.
Our pre-tax margin was 27% in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to 6% in the first quarter of 2012 and 22% in the fourth quarter of 2012 reflecting the operating scale in our business model.
Expenses
Total expenses increased 19.0% to $21.5 million from $18.1 million in the first quarter of 2012 and increased 17.3% from $18.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Included in the prior periods were non-operating items related to patent litigation, ETF shareholder proxy and secondary and initial exchange listing costs.

• Compensation and benefits expense increased 27.7% to $7.5 million compared to the first quarter of 2012. This increase was primarily due to higher accrued incentive compensation due to our record level of net inflows. Our headcount at the end of the first quarter of 2013 was 72 compared to 64 at the end of the first quarter of 2012.
Compensation and benefits expense increased 21.4% compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 primarily due to higher accrued incentive compensation, higher stock based compensation and payroll taxes.
• Fund management and administration expenses increased 51.2% to $8.2 million compared to the first quarter of 2012. At the end of 2012, we ended our joint venture with BNY Mellon. As a result, we began to record certain operating costs related to our currency and fixed income ETFs, which were previously recognized by BNY Mellon as part of the joint venture. This resulted in approximately $0.6 million in higher costs. Higher average AUM resulted in a $1.8 million increase in portfolio management, fund administration, accounting, index licensing, regulatory and distribution fees. We also incurred $0.3 million in higher printing related fees due to an increase in the number of holders of our ETFs.
Fund management and administration expenses increased 29.6% compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 primarily due to the end of the joint venture and higher average AUM.
• Marketing and advertising expenses increased 46.1% to $1.9 million compared to the first quarter of 2012 and increased 19.1% compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 primarily due to higher levels of advertising related activities to support our growth.
• Sales and business development expenses more than doubled to $1.8 million compared to the first quarter of 2012 and increased 71.0% compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 primarily due to higher levels of sales related initiatives and activities.
• Professional and consulting fees decreased 44.7% to $0.6 million compared to the first quarter of 2012 and decreased 22.2% compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 primarily due to lower variable stock based compensation, which ended as of the end of 2012, partly offset by higher corporate consulting and accounting related fees.
• Occupancy, communication and equipment expense increased 25.2% to $0.4 million compared to the first quarter of 2012. Beginning in the second quarter of 2012, we began occupying office space we had previously sub-leased to a third party. This expense was essentially unchanged compared to the fourth quarter of 2012.
• Third-party sharing arrangements expense declined 93.6% to $0.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2012 and declined 91.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 due to the end of our joint venture with BNY Mellon discussed above.
• Other expenses increased 41.4% to $0.9 million compared to the first quarter of 2012 and increased 12.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 primarily due to higher general and administrative expenses.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements relate to future events or our future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, the risks described below. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. You should read this press release completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
In particular, forward-looking statements in this press release may include statements about:
• anticipated trends, conditions and investor sentiment in the global markets;
• anticipated levels of inflows into and outflows out of our exchange traded funds;
• our ability to deliver favorable rates of return to investors;
• our ability to develop new products and services;
• our ability to maintain current vendors or find new vendors to provide services to us at favorable costs;
• competition in our business; and
• the effect of laws and regulations that apply to our business.
Our business is subject to many risks and uncertainties, including without limitation:
• We have only a limited operating history and, as a result, recent historical growth may not provide an accurate representation of the growth we may experience in the future, which may make it difficult to evaluate our future prospects.
• Challenging market conditions associated with declining prices of securities can adversely affect our business by reducing the market value of the assets we manage or causing WisdomTree ETF shareholders to sell their fund shares and trigger redemptions.
• Fluctuations in the amount and mix of our AUM may negatively impact revenue and operating margin.
• Most of our assets under management are held in ETFs that invest in foreign securities and we therefore have substantial exposure to foreign market conditions and are subject to currency exchange rate risks.
• We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from products invested in emerging markets and are exposed to the market-specific political and economic risks as well as general investor sentiment regarding future growth of those markets.
• We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from a limited number of products and, as a result, our operating results are particularly exposed to the performance of those funds, investor sentiment toward the strategies pursued by those funds and our ability to maintain the assets under management of those funds.
• The WisdomTree ETFs have a limited track record, and poor investment performance could cause our revenue to decline.
• We depend on other third parties to provide many critical services to operate our business and the WisdomTree ETFs. The failure of key vendors to adequately provide such services could materially affect our operating business and harm WisdomTree ETF shareholders.
• We may from time to time in the future be, involved in legal proceedings that could require significant management time and attention, possibly resulting in significant expense or in an unfavorable outcome, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, results of operations and cash flows.
Other factors, such as general economic conditions, including currency exchange rate fluctuations, also may have an effect on the results of our operations. For a more complete description of the risks noted above and other risks that could cause our actual results to differ from our current expectations, please see the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
The forward-looking statements in this press release represent our views as of the date of this press release. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. Therefore, these forward-looking statements do not represent our views as of any date other than the date of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measurements
In an effort to provide additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP information which we believe provides useful and meaningful information. The non-GAAP financial measurements included in this release include proforma operating income, proforma expenses and proforma pre-tax operating margin. Our management reviews these non-GAAP financial measurements when evaluating our financial performance and results of operations; therefore, we believe it is useful to provide information with respect to these non-GAAP measurements so as to share this perspective of management. Non-GAAP measurements do not have any standardized meaning, do not replace nor are superior to GAAP financial measurements and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measurements should be considered in the context with our GAAP results. We have disclosed our results excluding certain non-operating items including (1) our patent litigation with Research Affiliates LLC; (2) expenses for the WisdomTree ETF shareholder proxy solicitation; and (3) advisory and other related fees associated with the secondary offering of our common stock in November 2012. Management excludes these items when measuring our financial performance as they are not directly related to our core business of being an ETF sponsor and asset manager.
