Rhea-AI Filing Summary

WisdomTree, Inc. reported strong first quarter 2026 operating results while reshaping its capital structure and completing a strategic acquisition. The company posted record assets under management of $152.6 billion, up 5.6% from the prior quarter, driven by $5.9 billion of net inflows and market appreciation. Operating revenues rose 8.2% sequentially to $159.5 million, with an operating income margin of 37.2% and an adjusted operating margin of 39.3%.

On a GAAP basis, WisdomTree recorded a net loss of $23.1 million, or ($0.17) per diluted share, largely due to a $62.3 million loss on extinguishment of convertible notes. Adjusted net income was $40.6 million, or $0.27 per diluted share. The company issued $603.75 million of 4.50% convertible senior notes due 2031 and used them in part to repurchase $75.0 million of 2026 notes and $275.0 million of 2029 notes through cash and stock exchanges. WisdomTree also closed the acquisition of Atlantic House Holdings Limited for £150.0 million (approximately $200.0 million) in cash and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share, payable on May 27, 2026.

Positive

  • Record AUM and strong flows: Assets under management reached $152.6 billion, up 5.6% quarter over quarter, with $5.9 billion of net inflows and a 17% annualized organic flow growth rate, signaling strong client demand across key product categories.
  • Solid underlying profitability: Operating revenues grew 8.2% sequentially to $159.5 million, with gross margin at 84.4% and adjusted operating income of $62.7 million (adjusted margin 39.3%), and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.27.
  • Strategic Atlantic House acquisition: Completion of the £150.0 million Atlantic House transaction enhances defined outcome, derivatives-driven and active ETF capabilities, broadens UK and European adviser distribution, and supports the planned launch of 15–20 defined outcome ETFs globally.
  • Strengthened liquidity and extended maturities: Issuance of $603.75 million 4.50% convertible notes due 2031 and related exchanges of $350.0 million of earlier notes contributed to a rise in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash to $625.5 million.

Negative

  • GAAP net loss from refinancing costs: The company reported a net loss of $23.1 million, or ($0.17) per diluted share, driven largely by a $62.3 million loss on extinguishment of convertible notes, introducing earnings volatility from capital structure actions.
  • Higher interest burden from new notes: The newly issued 4.50% convertible senior notes due 2031 add interest expense (quarterly interest expense was $11.0 million), and convertible debt plus equity issued in exchanges maintains potential dilution and leverage considerations.

Insights

Strong flows and AUM growth offset by GAAP loss from note extinguishment and sizeable acquisition outlay.

WisdomTree delivered record AUM of $152.6 billion and robust net inflows of $5.9 billion, supporting an 8.2% sequential increase in operating revenues to $159.5 million. Adjusted net income of $40.6 million and a 39.3% adjusted operating margin indicate solid underlying profitability.

The reported net loss of $23.1 million stems primarily from a $62.3 million loss on extinguishment of convertible notes tied to refinancing activity. The company issued $603.75 million of 4.50% convertible notes due 2031 while exchanging $350.0 million in principal of 2026 and 2029 notes via cash and equity, which lengthens debt maturity but maintains convertible overhang.

Strategically, closing the £150.0 million Atlantic House acquisition expands defined outcome and derivatives-driven capabilities and supports planned launches of 15–20 defined outcome ETFs globally over the next 18 months. The combination of strong organic growth, increased cash (ending cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $625.5 million) and continued dividends at $0.03 per share underscores financial flexibility, though future performance will depend on successful integration and continued flow momentum.

Atlantic House purchase price £150.0 million (~$200.0 million) Cash consideration paid at closing for Atlantic House Holdings Limited acquisition
loss on extinguishment of convertible notes financial
"including a loss on extinguishment of convertible notes of $62.3 million"
convertible senior notes financial
"3.25% convertible senior notes due 2026 and 3.25% convertible senior notes due 2029"
Convertible senior notes are a type of loan that a company issues to investors, which can be turned into company shares later on. They are called "senior" because they are paid back before other debts if the company runs into trouble. This allows investors to earn interest like a loan but also have the chance to own part of the company if its value rises.
adjusted operating income margin financial
"Operating income margin, as adjusted, was 39.3%"
Adjusted operating income margin is the percentage of revenue that a company keeps as profit from its normal, day-to-day business after removing one-time events, restructuring costs, and other unusual or accounting-only items. Investors use it to see how efficiently the core business turns sales into operating profit — like judging a car’s fuel efficiency after ignoring occasional detours — because it gives a clearer view of underlying profitability and comparability over time.
defined outcome ETFs financial
"supporting the planned launch of 15-20 defined outcome ETFs globally, over the next 18 months"
contingent consideration financial
"contingent consideration of up to $225 million, payable in 2030"
Contingent consideration is an additional payment agreed when one company buys another that will be paid later only if specific future targets are met, such as revenue, profit, or regulatory milestones. It matters to investors because it shifts risk between buyer and seller and affects the acquiring company's future cash flow and reported value — like promising a bonus after results are proven.
gross margin percentage financial
"Gross margin percentage is calculated as gross margin divided by total adjusted operating revenues"
Gross margin percentage shows how much money a company keeps from sales after paying for the direct costs of producing its products or services, expressed as a percentage of total sales. It indicates how efficiently a company turns sales into profit before other expenses are considered. Higher gross margin percentages generally suggest better profitability potential and cost control, making it an important measure for investors assessing a company's financial health.

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 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 Connectand 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.

WisdomTree Completes Acquisition of Atlantic House, Enhancing Active ETF and Defined Outcome Capabilities

Transaction strengthens Models and Portfolio Solutions capabilities and deepens UK adviser distribution

NEW YORK & LONDON, 1 May 2026 – WisdomTree, Inc. (NYSE: WT), a global financial innovator, today announced that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of Atlantic House Holdings Limited (“Atlantic House”), a London-based active manager specializing in defined outcome and derivatives-driven investment strategies.

The completion of the transaction advances WisdomTree’s strategy of expanding in structurally growing areas of asset and wealth management. It enhances the firm’s capabilities in defined outcome and derivatives-driven investing, adding a dedicated investment team with deep expertise and a proven track record in the space.

The acquisition strengthens WisdomTree’s ability to design, launch and scale differentiated active ETFs globally, accelerating innovation in outcome-oriented strategies and supporting the planned launch of 15-20 defined outcome ETFs globally, over the next 18 months. It also expands the firm’s Models and Portfolio Solutions platform into the UK wealth market, deepening adviser relationships and enhancing distribution across Europe.

“This is an important step forward for WisdomTree,” said Jonathan Steinberg, WisdomTree Founder and CEO. “The addition of Atlantic House advances our strategy of expanding in structurally growing areas of asset management, including active ETFs, outcome-oriented strategies and managed models. By combining differentiated derivatives expertise with our global distribution, we are strengthening our ability to innovate and deliver more differentiated solutions that support long-term value for both our clients and our stockholders.”

Tom May, Chief Executive Officer of Atlantic House, said, “Joining WisdomTree represents a compelling opportunity to extend our defined outcome strategies and model portfolio offering with greater scale and reach, globally. Our investment team remains in place and will continue to manage strategies with the same disciplined approach and philosophy our clients expect. Together, we are well positioned to expand access to our defined outcome capabilities to a broader investor base.”

Alexis Marinof, CEO, Europe, WisdomTree, added, “This acquisition represents an important milestone in our European growth strategy. Atlantic House brings a differentiated platform, established client relationships and deep expertise that align closely with our focus on delivering scalable, innovative solutions. With the transaction complete, our focus now shifts to execution – bringing these capabilities to a broader client base through our global platform.”

The purchase price was £150 million (approximately $200 million), payable at closing, subject to customary adjustments.

Following the completion of the transaction, WisdomTree manages approximately $163.19 billion in assets globally1, including assets from its 2025 acquisition of Ceres Partners, marking WisdomTree’s entry into private markets.

FAQ

How did WisdomTree (WT) perform financially in Q1 2026?

WisdomTree generated operating revenues of $159.5 million in Q1 2026, up 8.2% from the prior quarter, with operating income of $59.4 million. On an adjusted basis, net income was $40.6 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.27, reflecting strong underlying profitability.

Why did WisdomTree report a net loss in Q1 2026 despite strong operations?

The company reported a GAAP net loss of $23.1 million, or ($0.17) per diluted share, mainly due to a $62.3 million loss on extinguishment of convertible notes. This loss arose from repurchasing and exchanging its 2026 and 2029 convertible senior notes as part of a broader refinancing.

What did WisdomTree announce about its dividend in this 8-K filing?
