WisdomTree Announces Second Quarter 2026 Results
Record AUM of $162.9 Billion
Diluted Earnings Per Share of $0.28; Adjusted Earnings Per Share of $0.31
13% Annualized Organic Flow Growth Rate
Operating Margin Expanded by 780 bps Year over Year; or 900 bps, on an Adjusted Basis
New York, NY – (Business Wire) – July 31, 2026 – WisdomTree, Inc. (NYSE: WT), a global financial innovator, today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2026.
$44.3 million of net income ($48.1(1) million, as adjusted). See “Non-GAAP Financial Measurements” for additional information.
$162.9 billion of ending AUM, an increase of 6.7% from the prior quarter arising from AUM related to our acquisition of Atlantic House Holdings Limited (“Atlantic House”), market appreciation and net inflows.
$3.1 billion of net inflows, across the United States and Europe primarily driven by inflows into our commodity, international developed equity and U.S. equity products, partly offset by outflows from our leveraged and inverse products.
0.36% average advisory fee, unchanged from the prior quarter.
0.43% revenue yield(2), a 1 basis point increase from the prior quarter due to revenues arising from the Atlantic House acquisition.
$177.2 million of operating revenues, an increase of 11.1% from the prior quarter due to higher average AUM, the Atlantic House acquisition, and higher performance fees and higher other revenues attributable to our European listed exchange-traded products (“ETPs”).
82.9% gross margin(1), a 1.5 point decrease from the prior quarter primarily reflecting higher expenses, including those associated with anticipated fund launches.
40.5% operating income margin for the quarter (42.6%(1) as adjusted), an increase of 330 basis points from the prior quarter on both a GAAP and as adjusted basis. Operating margin expansion was primarily driven by higher revenues, seasonally elevated compensation expense in the prior period and lower acquisition-related costs, partially offset by higher intangible amortization arising from the Atlantic House acquisition. Adjusted operating income margin excludes intangible asset amortization and acquisition-related costs.
39.0% operating income margin year-to date (41.1%(3) as adjusted), an increase of 780 basis points (900 basis points(3), as adjusted) from the prior-year period. Operating income margin expansion was primarily driven by higher revenues, including contributions from Ceres Partners, LLC (“Ceres”), partly offset by higher intangible asset amortization related to the Ceres and Atlantic House acquisitions and increased third-party distribution fees. Adjusted operating income margin excludes intangible asset amortization and acquisition-related costs.
$126.9 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes retired, including $75.0 million of 3.25% convertible notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and $51.9 million of 3.25% convertible senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”), for aggregate cash consideration of $207.5 million. Conversion prices of the 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes were $11.04 and $11.82, respectively.
$25.9 million of common stock repurchased, representing approximately 1.5 million shares at an average repurchase price of $17.40 per share.
$0.03 quarterly dividend declared, payable on August 26, 2026 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 12, 2026.

Update from Jarrett Lilien, WisdomTree President and COO
| “The second quarter demonstrated the quality of WisdomTree's growth. Our sixth consecutive quarter of record assets under management reflects momentum that is broad-based across regions, asset classes and client segments—not dependent on any single product, market or geography. That breadth, combined with continued operating discipline, positions WisdomTree to continue delivering sustainable organic growth and margin expansion.” |
Update from Jonathan Steinberg, WisdomTree CEO
| “This was another excellent quarter for WisdomTree and a reflection of the diversified business we've spent the past two decades building. As we celebrate our twentieth anniversary, we've evolved from an ETF pioneer into a modern global asset manager spanning ETFs, private markets, liquid alternatives and tokenized financial infrastructure. Our vision has remained remarkably consistent, even as the opportunities in front of us have expanded. We believe we're still in the early innings of what this platform can become, and we're excited about the opportunities ahead.” |

QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS
Operating Revenues
| · | Operating revenues increased 11.1% from the first quarter of 2026, due to higher average AUM, the Atlantic House acquisition, higher performance fees and higher other revenues attributable to our European listed ETPs. Operating revenues increased 57.3% from the second quarter of 2025, due to higher average AUM, a higher average advisory fee, revenues arising from the Ceres and Atlantic House acquisitions and increased other revenues from our European listed ETPs. |
| · | Our average advisory fee was 0.36% for both the first and second quarters of 2026 and 0.35% for the second quarter of 2025. |
Operating Expenses
| · | Operating expenses increased 5.2% from the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to higher fund management and administration fees and intangible amortization related to the Atlantic House acquisition, partly offset by seasonally elevated compensation expense in the prior period and lower acquisition-related costs. |
| · | Operating expenses increased 35.1% from the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to higher incentive compensation and headcount, as well as increased fund management and administration expenses, intangible asset amortization related to the Ceres and Atlantic House acquisitions and third-party distribution fees. |
Other Income/(Expenses)
| · | Interest expense increased 34.7% from the first quarter of 2026 and 170.5% from the second quarter of 2025 due to a higher level of debt outstanding and higher interest rates. |
| · | Interest income increased 23.6% from the first quarter of 2026 and 53.3% from the second quarter of 2025 due to the higher level of interest-earning assets. |
| · | During the second quarter of 2026, we recognized a $6.6 million loss related to the repurchase of $51.9 million in aggregate principal amount of our 2029 Notes. |
| · | Contingent consideration related to the Ceres acquisition increased from $14.4 million on March 31, 2026 to $15.8 million at June 30, 2026, resulting in a $1.4 million loss on remeasurement recognized during the second quarter of 2026. |
| · | Other gains and losses, net, was a gain of $6.4 million for the second quarter of 2026. This included a remeasurement gain of $4.4 million on British pounds held to complete the Atlantic House acquisition and a net gain of $2.9 million on our financial instruments owned. 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 second quarter of 2026 was 24.4%, resulting in income tax expense of $14.3 million. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to non-deductible amounts associated with the repurchase of convertible notes. |
| · | Our adjusted effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2026 was 24.1%(1). |
SIX MONTH HIGHLIGHTS
| · | Operating revenues increased 52.5% as compared to 2025 due to higher average AUM, a higher average advisory fee, revenues arising from the Ceres and Atlantic House acquisitions and increased other revenues from our European listed ETPs. |
| · | Operating expenses increased 35.3% as compared to 2025 primarily due to higher incentive compensation and headcount, as well as increased fund management and administration expenses, third-party distribution fees and intangible asset amortization arising from the Ceres and Atlantic House acquisitions. |
| · | Significant items reported in other income/(expense) in 2026 include: an increase in interest expense of 136.7% due to a higher level of debt outstanding and higher interest rates; an increase in interest income of 45.3% due to an increase in our interest-earning assets; a remeasurement gain of $4.4 million on British pounds held to complete the Atlantic House acquisition, net gains on our financial instruments owned of $2.0 million, net losses on our investments of $0.5 million and $0.5 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 management fees paid by our physically-backed gold ETPs, other foreign exchange fluctuations and miscellaneous items. |
| · | Our effective income tax rate for 2026 was 51.9%, resulting in an income tax expense of $22.8 million. The effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to non-deductible amounts associated with the repurchase of convertible notes, partly offset by tax windfalls associated with the vesting of stock-based compensation awards and a lower tax rate on foreign earnings. |

| (2) | Revenue yield is computed by dividing our annualized adjusted operating revenues as reported in the GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation herein by our average AUM during the period. |
| (3) | Adjusted operating margin is calculated as adjusted operating income divided by total revenues. Adjusted operating income excludes intangible asset amortization of $4,046 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and acquisition-related costs of $3,051 and $1,967 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. |
| (4) | Earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated pursuant to the two-class method as it results in a lower EPS amount as compared to the treasury stock method. In addition, the three months ended September 30, 2025 includes $718 of stock repurchase excise taxes, which is excluded from net income, but is required to be added to net income to arrive at income available to common stockholders in the calculation of EPS. This item is excluded from our EPS when computed on a non-GAAP basis. |

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. Also excluded are remeasurement gains on British pounds held to complete the Atlantic House acquisition. 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.
Remeasurement of contingent consideration arising from the Ceres acquisition: 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 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. We exclude changes in fair value of contingent consideration 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, amortization of intangible assets, 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 the Ceres and Atlantic House acquisitions, 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 Ceres and Atlantic House acquisitions, 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.
