Market Opportunity

Envestnet Wealth Solutions Segment
The wealth management industry has experienced significant growth in terms of assets invested by retail investors inover the past several years. According to the Federal Reserve, U.S. household financial assets approximated $79totaled approximately $112 trillion as of September 30, 2017,2023, representing a sizeable wealth management opportunity.

A number According to Boston Consulting Group's Global Wealth Report 2023, total net wealth in North America is expected to grow by 5% annually between 2022 and 2027 to exceed $200 trillion. Based on data from Cerulli Associates, invested assets comprised an estimated 52% of significantoverall U.S. household financial assets in 2022, advisor-directed assets totaled $26.9 trillion in 2022 and advisors had discretion over 57% of managed account assets as of September 30, 2023.


In the next 5-10 years, we believe the wealth management industry will continue to consolidate with fewer firms and fewer advisors managing more assets, making scale and operational efficiency increasingly important. This will require firms to integrate technology into all areas of their business.

The following trends are impacting the wealth management industry. Market forces are converging to bring about changes in wealth management, including those described below:

·

More consumers are recognizing the need for advice and are willing to pay for it. Consumers are also becoming more cost conscious and tech savvy.  They want advice to be objective and non-conflicted.    

·

According to various media sources, a massive wealth transfer is in the offing that will amount to $30 trillion as baby boomers transition assets to their offspring (Gen X and Gen Y).  These generations tend to favor greater use of technology and want access to advice and their assets anywhere, anytime, and on any device.

·

Regulations and digital advice start-ups are putting pressure on advisor and firm fees and profit margins.  To survive and thrive, advisors will need to increasingly rely on technology to achieve efficiency and scale to serve a growing client base.

·

Federal regulations and investor demand are changing as the fiduciary standard is expected to become more broadly applicable in the investor-advisor relationship.  Investment advice will be rooted in financial planning and centered on achieving investor goals. 

·

Technology is transforming the financial advice industry.  Control is shifting from manufacturers and distributors of products to consumers.  As consumers become better informed in an increasingly complex market, they not only seek guided advice, but they seek unbiased advisors who put their best interest first.  They demand greater transparency in product pricing.  

·

Digital technology is revolutionizing the way financial advisors can do business as they increasingly employ technology to service clients.

·

Financial services firms will need to be able to interact with customers on a digital basis via investor portals and other technology.

·

According to Capgemini’s 2017 World Wealth report, global high-net-worth financial wealth is expected to grow by $17 trillion between 2016 and 2020. In the next 5 – 10 years, fewer firms will manage far more assets at a significantly lower cost. Industry margins will be squeezed making scale and operational efficiency far more important. Firms will need to integrate technology in all areas of the business and develop a clear strategy for the future. As low-cost products gain share and larger firms benefit from scale economies, there will likely be further consolidation and new forms of collaboration.

·

Based on data from Cerulli Associates and projections by Envestnet, fee-based financial advisory is expected to reach $10 trillion by the end of 2017. Cerulli Associates analysis revealed that advisors had discretion over 53% of managed account assets in 2016, which is expected to climb to 59% by 2020.

These trends are impacting Envestnet’sour business and creating a significantlarge and growing market opportunity for technology‑enabled investmentdata, technology and wealth solutions and services like ours.

A technological shiftours:


Scale and convergence: Scale is also underwaya defining theme across the financial services landscape, including wealth management. For example, in the broaderindependent broker-dealer channel, the number of firms with $10 billion in assets or more rose 19% between 2017 and 2022, just as the total number of firms decreased 14% over the same period. In the RIA channel, firms with at least $1 billion of assets represented 71% of assets in 2022. We expect consolidation of firms and assets to continue, driven by factors including advisor succession needs, private capital attracted to the space, and the growing expectations of end-investors for modern digital experiences and holistic advice relationships. Moreover, we believe wealth channels are converging. Broker-dealers are becoming more RIA-like in their approach as they embrace planning and grow fee-based assets, while RIAs are becoming more enterprise-like as they consolidate, scale, and unify brands, technology, and services. The digital client experience and ability to serve the specialized needs of high-net-worth investors are increasingly paramount to success. Envestnet is well positioned for this future. More specifically, as of December 31, 2023, we served more than 108,000 advisors, including those at 48 of the top 50 wealth management and brokerage firms and thousands of RIAs.

Open platforms and application-level developer ecosystems are driving innovation forward.  New technology platforms are leveraging big data.

Personalization: Consumers are increasingly demanding personalization in both their technology and their investments. On the technology front, Envestnet is delivering over 24 million insights per day to financial advisors, home offices and financial institutions. By surfacing actionable opportunities, we are enabling our customers to create a better client experience and drive business efficiency and growth. We also began the phased rollout of the new Envestnet platform user interface and enhanced our financial planning software through a generational technology release. On the investment side, direct indexing, tax overlay and sustainable investing enable advisors to tailor portfolios to meet specific client needs. We have invested in each of these capabilities for years and continue to enhance our offerings. For instance, over the last two years we have enhanced our tax overlay capabilities to include additional account types, and we are now able to tax manage third-party model portfolios, both on a stand-alone basis and when they are offered within a UMA account. Also, our longest-tenured direct indexing strategy achieved a 10-year, GIPS-compliant track record at year-end 2023.

As mentioned in PwC’s Asset and Wealth Management report, investors want solutions for specific needs, not products that fit style boxes. Technology is enabling outcome-based planning. It can quickly identify important life goals and solutions to match. Technology and data analytics are expected to be used to construct multi-asset outcome-based solutions using low-cost building blocks

Integrated technology: Financial advisors and enterprises are looking for integrated, seamless WealthTech workflows; as such, spending on technology continues to climb. According to the Celent's North American IT spending report, North American wealth management firms expected to increase their technology budgets by 4.6% in 2023, with the largest level of investment being made in the front office. We are delivering a cloud-based, open architecture, end-to-end technology stack to the marketplace. Our technology platform is broad and integrated, encompassing portfolio management capabilities from proposal to planning to reporting and billing. We have invested in and connected our core technology offerings to the Envestnet Insurance Exchange, the Envestnet Credit Exchange, and the Envestnet Trust Exchange, among other offerings, to create a comprehensive digital ecosystem for advisors and their clients. In 2023, we rolled out our new proposal engine to 99% of client firms; the tool provides enhanced features, streamlined workflows, and seamless access to managed accounts. We enhanced integrations across the Envestnet ecosystem and with third-party software providers; for example, we fully integrated the Envestnet proposal tool into Envestnet | Tamarac, including new proposals and strategy modifications. We also expanded integrations with external CRM tools and simplified the account opening process with Docupace via our next generation proposal tool. We plan to continue to invest in software, APIs, developer tools, and integration points.

Holistic advice: Consumers are increasingly demanding a wider range of services from their financial services providers, leading more firms to embrace holistic advice. In fact, a 2023 McKinsey survey found that 47% of wealth clients preferred an investment professional that can holistically address financial needs across investments, taxes, banking, and life insurance—up from 29% in 2018. In addition, we believe the movement toward holistic advice reflects a natural maturation of the industry and is being driven by competition from scaled wealth management firms and innovation from self-directed fintech companies which are adding more services. Financial planning tools—which are foundational to providing holistic advice—have, in tandem, become more widely used by advisors. 86% of advisors in the 2024 T3/Inside Information Advisor Software Survey have adopted financial planning software, up from 79% in the 2021 survey. Envestnet’s mission is to make financial wellness a reality for everyone and as such as ETFs or index trackers. For just a small fee, computer algorithms will be able to create customized solutions.

·

It is widely believed that technology is set to disrupt all areas of wealth management. Studies have shown that:

o

58% of an advisor’s occupation can be digitized using artificial intelligence; 

o

73% of 18 to 34 year olds would try a tech firm’s credit card, deposit account, investment or mortgage; and

o

69% of advisory firms’ websites are optimized for mobile use.

·

A report from Roubini Thought Lab indicated that by 2022, the “SMAC” stack (social, mobile, analytics, and cloud) will become table stakes for investment providers, over half of which surveyed plan to use a cloud platform to replace their legacy systems. Digitally advanced firms now spend 16.8% of their revenue on technology and plan to increase that investment to 24% by 2022.

·

Clients expect to be able to access their account information from any device at any time. Advisors (and financial services firms in general) must be prepared to interact with clients through a wider range of communication channels. New technologies are being adopted by wealth management firms to better communicate with clients and give them the same type of experience they receive in other aspects of their lives, such as using devices like Amazon’s Alexa and video performance reports.

As we continue to expand our presenceecosystem of technology, solutions and intelligence for advisors. In 2023, we launched Envestnet Retire Complete, providing wealth advisors access to a range of retirement savings resources to help their clients meet their retirement objectives.


Leveraging data: Enterprises, advisors, and financial institutions need to leverage in-house and third-party data to make better, more timely decisions. According to Wavestone's 2024 Data and AI Leadership Executive Survey, 82% of senior executive respondents stated their organizations were increasing investments in data and analytics. We offer a variety of wealth data solutions. Our Insights Engine surfaces over 100 different types of insights for advisors and enterprises to enable them to grow and manage more efficient practices. Our enterprise data management capability gathers and ingests advisor client accounts, classifying them using a uniform process across account types and sources. Data comes from our portfolio accounting system, a client-permissioned source via account aggregation, or an account assigned to a firm within an institutional feed from a custodian, recordkeeper, trust accounting system, or data provider. All accounts are fully reconciled and packaged at the enterprise level, providing our customers with a single source of truth for wealth data. We also provide enterprise, advisor, and asset manager analytics which enable benchmarking and deeper business understanding. Finally, we use prescriptive and predictive analytics to create insights for next-best-actions, helping advisors grow and create more efficient practices.

Independent and fee-based advice: We are a driver and beneficiary of the growth of financial advice, movement to independent channels, fee-based pricing and managed accounts. The financial advice industry is growing. According to an annual survey by MarketCast and Cerulli Associates, the percentage of affluent investors saying they are willing to pay for advice has increased from 53% in 2018 to 64% in 2023. Within the advice industry, Cerulli forecasts independent advice channels (where Envestnet has its largest market presence) to expand from 39% of advisor-mediated assets in 2022 to 44% in 2027, driven by growth in the markets outlined above,RIA and hybrid RIA channels. Advice delivered with fee-based pricing—as opposed to commission-based pricing—also continues to take share, growing from 47% of industry assets in 2017 to 55% in 2022, according to Cerulli. Lastly, also per Cerulli, industrywide managed account assets have grown organically (excluding market appreciation) at an 8% annualized rate from December 31, 2017 through September 30, 2023. Envestnet’s managed account annualized organic asset growth rate, as measured by organic AUM growth, has been approximately double that of the numberindustry over the same time period.

Envestnet Data & Analytics Segment
Envestnet Data & Analytics sits at the center of potential end users whoseveral important trends, including the movement toward Open Banking, personalization and insights and growth of alternative data.

Open Banking: Generally, Open Banking is defined as the structured exchange of data by consumers with and between their financial providers, taking into account those consumers’ needs and informed consent. In 2023, the value of the Open Banking market was estimated to be $25 billion, according to Grand View Research, and is projected to grow at a 27% CAGR to reach $135 billion in 2030. Regulations are a key driver behind the growth of active Open Banking participation worldwide. For example, in the United States, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau released its proposed rulemaking on personal financial data rights to implement Section 1033 of the Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 and, in Canada, Open Banking regulation is expected to go into effect in 2025. Accordingly, the percentage of financial institutions considering Open Banking a ‘must have’ has increased from 51% in 2021 to 61% in 2022, according to a global survey by Finastra. Today, Envestnet Data & Analytics works with clients and data providers across 37 different countries and, specifically in the United States, over 50% of our consumer-permissioned traffic now flows through Open Banking connections. As a leader in the space, we—along with our clients and end-consumers—benefit from improved data sharing success rates, higher connection resiliency and availability and faster access through APIs. Improved connectivity drives business growth for Envestnet by increasing usage and user engagement, while also potentially opening access to new providers and domains. Additionally, as Open Banking use cases expand beyond connectivity, we expect greater adoption of Envestnet Data & Analytics’ full offering of solutions, which already cover major use cases across retail wellness, wealth management, payment enablement, small to medium business, enterprise business intelligence, credit decisioning, fraud monitoring and others.

Personalization and insights: Consumers expect more personalized experiences from their financial services providers, yet only 56% of consumers feel their bank is delivering in this area, per a Capgemini survey. As a result, an overwhelming majority of banks are planning to intensify their hyper-personalization programs, according to FICO, and 88% plan to support their personalization goals via analytics and machine learning to collect insights. Further, in the credit space, a Nova Credit study found that 75% of lenders think traditional credit data and scores aren't providing a complete picture of consumers' creditworthiness, and 59% of those lenders have incorporated some type of alternative data into their underwriting process. Through our insights, Envestnet Data & Analytics helps firms understand patterns of behavior and user segments, which provides valuable information on how to best serve their clientele, while also helping those firms build and scale hyper-personalized financial wellness experiences for their customers. In addition, firms use our solutions increases dramatically.insights to better understand their businesses. The Envestnet Bank Deposit Index, for example, delivers cash flow transparency with daily views and insights into bank deposits, enabling a bank to compare deposit flows at their institution to other regional and national banks and see other benchmark data for greater context.

Alternative data: The alternative data market is forecast to reach $136 billion in 2030, up from $7 billion in 2023 and implying a 52% CAGR, according to Grand View Research. Envestnet Data & Analytics offers comprehensive data from hundreds of data sources which helps organizations generate insights and broad market research based on consumer spending from alternative data and make better business decisions. Additionally, alternative data adoption will be fueled, in part, by the growing popularity of AI technologies, as the data can be employed to train and enhance AI models. Our data practices around natural language processing and machine learning leverage several deep learning AI models to accurately identify signals and provide enriched dimensions from the data, helping organizations extract the full potential end user base includes any consumer of financial services on the Internet—AI and this end user could be a paid userfine-tune its predictive power.

Revenue is generated in three categories:

Assets underthe following manners:


Asset-based Recurring Revenue
In our Envestnet Wealth Solutions segment, asset-based recurring revenue primarily consists of fees for providing customers continuous access to platform services through the Company’s uniquely customized platforms. These platform services include investment manager research, portfolio diagnostics, proposal generation, investment model management, orrebalancing and trading, portfolio performance reporting and monitoring solutions, billing and back office and middle-office operations and administration (“AUM/A”)

Asset-based fees that the Company earns are generally based meaning it is derived from fees charged as a percentageupon variable percentages of the assets that are managed or administered on our technology platformsplatforms. The fee percentage varies based on the level and type of services the Company provides to its customers, as well as the values of existing customer accounts. The values of the customer accounts are affected by financial advisors.

For approximately 75% of our asset‑based fee arrangements, customers are billed at the beginning of each quarter based on the market value of customer assets on our wealth management platforms as of the end of the prior quarter, providing for a high degree of revenue visibility in the current quarter. Revenue may fluctuate from quarter to quarterquarter-to-quarter based on changes in asset values, or fee rates on those asset values.

Subscription and licensing fees vary based on the scope of technology solutions and services being used, and are priced in a variety of constructs based on the size of the business, number of users or number of accounts, and in many cases can increase over time based on the growth of these factors.

Despite this potential variance, we believe that our subscription fees are also highly predictable because they are generally established in multi‑year contracts providing longer‑term visibility regarding that portion of total revenue.

Growth Strategy

Envestnet intends


We intend to increase revenue and profitability in both the Envestnet Wealth Solutions and Envestnet Data & Analytics segments by continuingleveraging the strategies described below.

Envestnet Wealth Solutions Segment
As discussed above, several industry trends underpin and align with Envestnet’s growth opportunity. These trends include scale and convergence of the wealth management ecosystem, personalization of both technology and investments, integrated workflows, holistic advice, data and analytics, and the movement to pursueindependent and fee-based advice. Our growth strategy in the following strategies:

·

Add new enterprise clients;

Wealth market seeks to capitalize on these themes and has three primary components:

·

Increase our advisor base;


·

Extend the account base within a given advisor relationship;

Drive and benefit from the growth of our established customer base. Growth of our configurable, open architecture managed accounts platform is aligned with a number of core industry trends. First, the wealth industry continues to shift toward planning-led and fee-based business models; as referenced earlier, fee-based assets as a percentage of total advisor industry assets rose substantially between 2017 and 2022. Second, advisors are gradually migrating away from packaged products and are emphasizing customization, tax optimization, and operational efficiency. Our personalization solutions such as direct indexing, tax overlay, sustainable investing, and high-net-worth consulting support these objectives. And third, enterprises and advisors are increasingly looking to outsource components of investment management, leveraging managed accounts to free up time for prospecting and servicing and to expand their value proposition beyond investments.

·

Expand the services utilized by each advisor or enterprise client, including the cross selling of services across Envestnet’s business lines where applicable;


·

Continue to invest in our technology platforms and data analytics capabilities; and

Expand relationships with existing customers. As of December 31, 2023, Envestnet served more than 108,000 advisors in over 19.1 million accounts with approximately $5.8 trillion of assets, making us one of the most scaled wealth management technology, solutions, and data companies in North America. Foundational to our ability to sell more of Envestnet’s capabilities to our clients is providing excellent customer service; from the fourth quarter of 2022 to the fourth quarter of 2023, we increased our Net Promoter Score from 50 to 63. We intend to continue to bring the components of our ecosystem even closer together, integrating workflows and optimizing our customers’ technology experience. According to a January 2024 report from McKinsey & Company, there is growing consumer demand for one-stop-shop access to wealth management and adjacent financial services, and our internal research has shown that many advisors also prefer to partner with “all-in-one” wealth software firms. Enterprises and advisors can purchase our products either piecemeal or as packages, providing significant room to grow wallet share—including managed accounts, financial planning software, client and advisor portals, performance reporting, billing, trading and rebalancing, CRM, data management and insights, asset manager and advisor analytics, workplace solutions, Envestnet Insurance Exchange, and others.

·

Continue to pursue strategic transactions and other relationships.


Add new capabilities and enhance revenue streams. Our broad set of customers and partners—including broker-dealers, RIAs, asset managers, insurance carriers, banks and fintech companies—provides us with significant opportunities to introduce and package new products and capabilities. For example, through our 2022 acquisition of Redi2 Technologies, we are modernizing our core billing engine, opening up the ability to sell revenue management software to our asset management partners and introducing new capabilities such as Envestnet Payments. In 2022, we acquired 401kplans.com, which, when combined with our Envestnet Retirement Solutions business, creates a compelling opportunity for generalist wealth advisors to offer 401(k) plans to their small business customers. We also announced our partnership with the FNZ Group in 2022 to integrate custody and clearing capabilities with our wealth platform, with the goal of providing a streamlined and real-time experience for the advisor while at the same time generating revenue for Envestnet.

Envestnet Data & Analytics Segment
Expand our relationships with existing customers: Our business currently serves a footprint of over 1,300 clients and more than 38 million paid end-users across the financial ecosystem. Additionally, we have an entrenched, blue-chip customer base—our top 50 customers have an average tenure of 10 years—which provides us with a significant opportunity to cross-sell existing products and solutions. Our initiatives around product bundling enable customers to tap into the full power of our platform, ranging across corporate, consumer, small and midsize business and research applications. For enterprise users specifically, we look to monetize new product categories like enterprise business intelligence, product and marketing insights, and audience modelling.

13

Add new capabilities and enhance revenue streams. The Envestnet Data & Analytics team has been focused on modernizing existing products and launching new solutions into our unified platform. In 2023, we expanded into new markets including subscription management and alternative lending by rolling out our Subscription & Bill Tracker and Credit Accelerator capabilities, respectively. Initiatives like these have, in part, yielded an increase in our Open Banking pipeline, as customers learn how our platform can benefit them in more ways. We expect future product launches will allow for additional cross-sell opportunities and customer acquisitions. Furthermore, as we expand our data supply, and as our Open Banking products achieve greater adoption, the value of our alternative data products increases as the additional data can be leveraged in existing and adjacent research markets. For example, we recently launched our SpendSignals product, which gives corporate and market research professionals access to insights on consumer spending and peer purchasing behavior.

Technology Platforms

Our technology platforms featureare primarily multi-tenant SaaS-based hybrid cloud offerings that afford us the flexibility to offer a three‑tier architecture integratinghighly scalable consolidated workflow via a Web‑basedweb-based user interface that is complemented by an application tierAPI led open strategy that houses the business logicenables us to offer an integrated omnichannel flexibility and collaboration ecosystem.This open ecosystem strategy has enabled us to abstract, integrate and modernize our offerings at a rapid pace while also enabling our customers and partners to add incremental value on top of our platform via a fit for all of the platforms’ functionalitya purpose managed open ecosystem model.

We are committed to our operational and a SQL Server databases. The application tier resides behind load balancers which distribute the workload demands across our servers.information security capabilities as strategic differentiators. We believe our technology design allows for significant scalability.

Envestnet undergoes anundergo annual SSAE 16 SOC 12 Type II auditaudits to validate the continued operation of our internal controls on three of its main technology platforms;for our flagship offerings within the ecosystem; the Unified Managed Platform, the Unified Managed Platform (Institutional)platform, Envestnet Data & Analytics platform and Envestnet | Tamarac platforms.platform. The SOC reports confirm design and operating effectiveness of internal controls. We maintain multiple redundancies, back up our databases and safeguard technologies and proprietary information consistent with industry best practices. We also maintain a comprehensive business continuity plan and company‑wide risk assessment program that is consistent with industry best practices and that complies with applicable regulatory requirements.

We have historically made significant investments in platform development in order to enhance and expand our technology platforms and expect to continue to make significant investments in the future. In the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, we incurred technology development costs totaling approximately $40,800, $38,100 and $12,600, respectively. Of these costs, we capitalized approximately $12,600, $8,600 and $5,500, respectively, as internally developed software. We expect to continue focusing our technology development efforts principally on adding features to increase our market competitiveness, enhancements to improve operating efficiency, address regulatory demands and reduce risk, and client‑driven requests for new capabilities.

Our Envestnet Data & Analytics platform is structured into three main layers:

Connectivity: data aggregation layer of the platform;
Analytics: artificial intelligence and machine learning engine layer of the platform; and
Experiences: the digital services layer of the platform.

The connectivity layer of the platform collects a wide varietyrange of end user-permissioned transaction-level data from over 16,000approximately 19,000 sources, including banking, investment, loan, and puts it in a common repository.  Envestnet | Yodlee developed robust proprietary technology and processes and established relationships that allow uscredit card information, with the ability to curate these data sources and expand our access to new data sources.

These structured feeds, which consist of either open banking API’s or batch files, pushed to us or real-time access, provide this critical data efficiently and at scale. Where we do not have direct connections, we capture data using our proprietary information-gathering techniques.

Beyond collecting As data ouris ingested, it goes through data aggregation platform performs a data refining processquality control and augments the data with additional information from a variety of other sources.  We enrich the data with a proprietary twelve-step process, adding such elements asanonymization engine e.g., financial transaction categorization, and merchant identification, for bank or credit card account data andgeographical location as well as investment transaction security identification, classification and normalization for investment data.  As our platform usage grows and is exposed to more users and use cases, the system benefits from machine learning algorithms to better normalize, categorize and process large amounts of data, allowing our network to become more effective, efficient and valuable to our customers. Utilizing this enhanced data, including consolidated data from within our FI customers and account data regarding accounts at other FIs, our data intelligence organizes, analyzes, and presents it in a manner that helps our customers offer personalized solutions that enable their consumers to achieve better financial outcomes.

Our analytics platform provides a highly scalable cloud based environment that supports a cost effective and secure way of handling very large data sets, permitting us to develop and test new machine learning algorithms, transform these data sets using the resulting models. The results of the computations can be accessed interactively, as files, or via API access through our data aggregation platform.

Our money movement solutions facilitate payment flows. Our customers can debit and credit consumer and small business accounts in real time or in batches and route payments between accounts (funds transfer), to billers (bill pay), or to other individuals (peer to peer). Designed to be run as a service, our money movement solutions allow us to operate these functionalities in the cloud and quickly adapt to new payment systems. Our payment engine, which is a principal component of our money movement solutions, is a task-based payment processing platform that controls all payment activity across cobrands, originators, processors, and billers.

Regulation

Overview

The financial services industry is among the most extensively regulated industries in the United States. We operate investment advisory, broker-dealerbroker dealer and mutual fund advisory businesses, each of which is subject to a specific regulatory scheme, including regulation at the federal and state level, as well as regulation by self-regulatory

organizations and non-U.S. regulatory authorities. In addition, we are subject to numerous laws and regulations of general application.

Our subsidiaries EAM, EPS, FDX Advisors, Inc., QRG, Envestnet Asset Management,Embedded Advisory, Inc. (“EAM”), and Envestnet PortfolioRetirement Solutions, Inc. (“EPS”) and ERSLLC operate investment advisory businesses. These subsidiaries are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)SEC as “investment advisers” under the Investment Advisers Act, of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), and are regulated thereunder. They may also provide fiduciary services as defined in Section 3(21)(A)(ii) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”),ERISA, including acting as an “investment manager” (as defined in Section 3(38) of ERISA). As described further below, many of our investment advisory programs are conducted pursuant to the non-exclusive safe harbor from the definition of an “investment company” provided for under Rule 3a-4 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). If Rule 3a-4 were to cease to be available, or if the SEC were to modify the rule or its interpretation of how the rule is applied, it could have a substantial effect on our business.Act. EAM serves as the investment adviser to two mutual funds and four exchange-traded funds. MutualThe funds are registered as “investment companies” under the Investment Company Act. The Advisers Act, Investment Company Act and ERISA, together with related regulations and interpretations of the SEC and the DOL, impose numerous obligations and restrictions on investment advisers and mutual funds, including recordkeeping requirements, limitations on advertising, disclosure and reporting obligations, prohibitions on fraudulent activities and detailed operating requirements, including restrictions on transactions between an adviserthe requirement that conflicts of interest be monitored, mitigated, and its clients, and between a mutual fund and its advisers and affiliates.disclosed. The fiduciary obligations of investment advisers to their clients require advisers to, among other things, consider the suitability of the investment products and advice they provide, seek “best execution” for their clients’ securities transactions, conduct due
16

diligence on third-party products offered to clients, consider the appropriateness of the adviser’s fees and provide extensive and ongoing disclosure to clients. The application of these requirements to wrap fee programs is particularly complex and the SEC has in the past scrutinized firms’ compliance with these requirements. The SEC is authorized to institute proceedings and impose fines and sanctions for violations of the Advisers Act and the Investment Company Act and has the power to restrict or prohibit an investment adviser from carrying on its business in the event that it fails to comply with applicable laws and regulations. Although weWe believe we are in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of the Advisers Act, ERISA and the Investment Company Act and the rules and interpretations promulgated thereunder, our failure to comply with such laws, rulesthereunder.

Our subsidiaries are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations that grant supervisory agencies, including the SEC and OCC, broad administrative powers. In the event of a failure to comply with these laws and regulations, the possible sanctions that may be imposed include the suspension of individual employees, limitations on the permissibility of our regulated subsidiaries and our other subsidiaries to engage in business for specified periods of time, censures, fines, and the revocation of registration as a broker-dealer or investment adviser, as applicable. Additionally, the securities laws and other regulations applicable to us and our subsidiaries provide for certain private rights of action that could give rise to civil litigation. Any litigation could have significant financial and non-financial consequences including monetary judgments and the requirement to take action or limit activities that could ultimately affect our business.

ours.


Many of the laws and regulations to which our subsidiaries are subject are evolving, unclear and inconsistent across various jurisdictions, and ensuring compliance with them is difficult and costly. We continually develop improvements to our existing products and services as well as new products and services.  Many of these improvements or new products and services may implicate regulations to which we may not already be subject or with which we may not have experience. New laws or regulations, or changes in existing laws or regulations or interpretations of existing laws and regulations, including those relating to the activities of our investment adviser, broker-dealer and financial institution clients, may occur that could increase our compliance and other costs of doing business, require significant changes to our systems or solutions or substantially change the way that our clients operate their businesses. Compliance with any new or revised regulatory requirements may divert internal resources, be expensive and time-consuming and may require increased investment in compliance functions or new technologies. Failure to comply with the laws and regulations to which we and our subsidiaries are subject could result in fines, penalties or limitations on our ability to conduct our business, or federal or state actions, any of which could significantly harm our reputation, and could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

Investment Advisory Program Conducted Under Rule 3a-4

Under the Investment Company Act, an issuer that is engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities may be deemed an “investment company,” in which case the issuer may be subject to registration requirements and regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. In order to provide assurance that certain discretionary investment advisory programs would not be considered investment companies, the SEC adopted Rule 3a-4 under the Investment Company Act, which provides a non-exclusive safe harbor from the definition of an investment company for programs that meet the requirements of the rule. We conduct and support the following programs pursuant to the Rule 3a-4 safe harbor:

·

Separately managed accounts;

·

Unified managed account portfolios;

Separately managed accounts;

·

Mutual fund portfolios and exchange-traded fund portfolios; and

Unified managed account portfolios;

·

Advisor as portfolio manager.

We believe that, to the extent we exercise discretion over accounts in any of these programs, these programs qualify for the safe-harbor because all of the programs have the following characteristics, which are generally required in order for a program to be eligible for the Rule 3a-4 safe harbor:

·

Each client account is managed on the basis of the client’s financial situation, investment objectives and reasonable client-imposed investment restrictions;

Fund portfolios and exchange-traded fund portfolios; and

·

At the opening of the account, the client’s financial advisor obtains information from the client and provides us with the client’s financial situation, investment objectives and reasonable restrictions;

Advisor as portfolio manager.

·

On no less than an annual basis, the client’s financial advisor contacts the client to determine whether there have been any changes in the client’s financial situation or investment objectives, and whether the client wishes to impose any reasonable restrictions on the management of the account or reasonably modify existing restrictions. This information is communicated to us and reflected in our management of client accounts;

·

On a quarterly basis, we or another designated person (in most cases this will be the client’s financial advisor) notify the client to contact us or another designated person if there have been any changes to the client’s financial position or investment objectives or if the client wishes to impose any reasonable restrictions on the management of the account;

·

We, the client’s financial advisor and the manager of the client’s account, all of whom are knowledgeable about the account and its management, are reasonably available to the client for consultation;

·

All of the programs allow each client to impose reasonable restrictions on the management of his or her account;

·

On at least a quarterly basis, the client is provided with a statement containing a description of all activity in the client’s account during the preceding period, including all transactions made on behalf of the account, all contributions and withdrawals made by the client, all fees and expenses charged to the account, and the value of the account at the beginning and end of the period; and

·

For all of the programs, each client retains, with respect to all securities and funds in the client’s account, the right to withdraw securities or cash, vote securities, or delegate the authority to vote securities to another person, receive written confirmation or other notification of each securities transaction by the client’s independent custodian, and proceed directly as a security holder against the issuer of any security in the client’s account without the obligation to include us or any other client of the program in any such action as a condition precedent to initiating such proceeding.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

An investment in any security involves risk. An investor or potential investor should consider the risks summarized in this section when making investment decisions regarding our securities offerings.securities. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk factors set forth below. The risks and uncertainties described in this section are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also affect our business. If any of these known or unknown risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

19

Risks Related to Our Business

We have experienced rapid revenue growth, which may be difficult to sustainResults of Operations and which may place significant demands on our administrative, operational and financial resources and any inability to maintain or manage our growth could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

Our revenues during the three years ended December 31, 2017 have grown at a compound annual growth rate of 27%. We expect our growth to continue, which could place additional demands on our resources and increase our expenses. Our future growth will depend on, among other things, our ability to successfully grow our total assets under management and administration and add additional clients. If we are unable to implement our growth strategy, develop new investment solutions and services and gain new clients, our results of operations, financial condition or business may be materially adversely affected.

Financial Condition

18


Sustaining growth will also require us to commit additional management, operational and financial resources and to maintain appropriate operational and financial systems. In addition, continued growth increases the challenges involved in:

·

recruiting, training and retaining sufficiently skilled technical, marketing, sales and management personnel;

·

preserving our culture, values and entrepreneurial environment;

·

successfully expanding the range of investment solutions and services offered to our clients;

·

developing and improving our internal administrative infrastructure, particularly our financial, operational, compliance, record‑keeping, communications and other internal systems; and

·

maintaining high levels of satisfaction with our investment solutions and services among clients.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain or accelerate our growth, and any failure to do so could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.

Our revenue can fluctuate from period to period, which could cause our share price to fluctuate.

Our revenue may fluctuate from period‑to‑period in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. Factors relating to our business that may contribute to these fluctuations include the following events, as well as other factors described elsewhere in this document:

·

a decline or slowdown of the growth in the value of financial market assets, which may reduce the value of assets under management and administration and therefore our revenues and cash flows;

·

negative public perception and reputation of the financial services industry, which would reduce demand for our investment solutions and services;

·

unanticipated changes to economic terms in contracts with clients, including renegotiations;

·

downward pressure on fees we charge our clients, which would therefore reduce our revenue;

·

changes in laws or regulations that could impact our ability to offer investment solutions and services;

·

failure to obtain new clients;

·

cancellation or non‑renewal of existing contracts with clients;

·

failure to protect our proprietary technology and intellectual property rights;

·

unanticipated delays in connection with the conversion of client assets onto our technology platforms;

·

changes to or a reduction in the suite of investment solutions and services provided to or used by existing clients;

·

changes in our pricing policies or the pricing policies of our competitors to which we have to adapt;

·

fluctuations in currency exchange rates; and

·

general economic and political conditions, both domestically and internationally, as well as economic

19


conditions specifically affecting industries in which our customers operate.

As a result of these and other factors, the results of operations for any quarterly or annual period may differ materially from the results of operations for any prior or future quarterly or annual period and should not be relied upon as indications of our future performance.

We operate in highly competitive industries, with many firms competing for business from financial advisors and financial institutions on the basis of a number of factors, including the quality and breadth of investment solutions and services, ability to innovate, reputation and the prices of services and this competition could hurt our financial performance.

We compete with many different types of companies that vary in size and scope, including custodians, turnkey asset management platforms, data and analytics providers, and other financial technology companies. Representative examples of competitors include Pershing LLC (a subsidiary of BNY Mellon Corporation), AssetMark, Inc., Advent Software (a subsidiary of SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc.), Orion Advisor Services, and Quovo, Inc. Competition is discussed in greater detail under “Business—Competition” included in this Form 10‑K. In addition, some of our clients have developed or may develop the in‑house capability to provide the technology and/or investment advisory services they have retained us to perform. These clients may also offer internally developed services to their financial advisors, obviating the need to hire us, and they may offer these services to third‑party financial advisors or financial institutions, thereby competing directly with us for that business.

Many of our competitors have significantly greater resources than we do. These resources may allow our competitors to respond more quickly to changes in demand for investment solutions and services, to devote greater resources to developing and promoting their services and to make more attractive offers to potential clients and strategic partners, which could hurt our financial performance.

We may lose clients as a result of the sale or merger of a client, a change in a client’s senior management, competition from other financial advisors and financial institutions and for other reasons. We also face increased competition due to the current trend of industry consolidation. If large financial institutions that are not our clients are able to attract assets from our clients, our ability to grow revenues and earnings may be adversely affected.

Our Envestnet | PMC group competes with other providers of investment solutions and products. These competitors may offer broader solutions and/or products and their solutions and/or products may have better investment returns during one or more periods. If the investment returns on our investment products are not perceived to be competitive, we could experience outflows of assets from these products and face difficulty attracting new assets to these products.

We compete with many companies that have greater name recognition, substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, the ability to devote greater resources to the promotion, sale and support of their solutions, more extensive customer bases and broader customer relationships, and longer operating histories than we have.

Our failure to successfully compete in any of the above‑mentioned areas could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business. Competition could also affect the revenue mix of services we provide, resulting in decreased revenues in lines of business with higher profit margins.

We derive a substantial portion of our revenuesrevenue from the delivery of investment solutions and services to clients in the financial advisoryservices industry and our revenue could suffer if that industry experiences a downturn.

A substantial portion of our revenues arerevenue is derived from clients in the financial services industry, particularly in financial advisory industry.services. A decline or lack of growth in demand for financial advisory services would adversely affect our clients and, in turn, our results of operations, financial condition and business. For example, the availability of free or low‑cost investment information and resources, including research and information relating to publicly traded companies and mutual funds available on the Internetinternet or on company websites, could lead to lower demand by investors for the services provided by financial

advisors. In addition, demand for our investment solutions and services among financial advisors could decline for many reasons. Negative public perception and reputation of the financial services industry could reduce demand for our broader services and investment advisory solutions. Consolidation or limited growth in the financial services and advisory industry could reduce the number of our clients and potential clients. Events that adversely affect our clients’ businesses, rates of growth or the numbers of customers they serve, including decreased demand for our clients’ products and services, adverse conditions in our clients’ markets or adverse economic conditions generally, could in turn decrease demand for our investment solutions and services and thereby decrease our revenues.revenue. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

Because some of our sales efforts are targeted at large financial institutions and large Internet services companies, we face prolonged sales cycles, substantial upfront sales costs and less predictability in completing some of our sales. If our sales cycle lengthens, or if our upfront sales investments do not result in sufficient revenue, our operating results may be harmed.

We target a portion of our sales efforts at large financial institutions and large Internet services companies, which presents challenges that are different from those we encounter with smaller customers. Because our large customers are often making an enterprise-wide decision to deploy our solutions, we face longer sales cycles, complex customer requirements, substantial upfront sales costs, significant contract negotiations and less predictability in completing sales with these customers. Our sales cycle can often last one year or more with our largest customers, who often undertake an extended evaluation process, but is variable and difficult to predict. We anticipate that we will experience even longer sales cycles, more complex customer needs, higher upfront sales costs and less predictability in completing sales with customers located outside of the United States. If our sales cycle lengthens or our upfront sales investments do not generate sufficient revenue to justify our investments in our sales efforts, our operating results may be harmed.

Failure of our customers to deploy our solutions in a timely and successful manner could negatively affect our revenue and operating results.

The timing of revenue from our customers depends on a number of factors outside of our control and may vary from period to period. Our customers may request customization of our solutions for their systems or engage in a prolonged, internal decision making process regarding the deployment of our solutions. Among our larger customers, deployment of our solutions can be a complex and prolonged process and requires integration into the existing platform on our customers’ systems. Any delay during the deployment process related to technical difficulties experienced by our customers or us in integrating our solutions into our customers’ systems could further lengthen the deployment period and create additional costs or customer dissatisfaction. During the deployment period, we expend substantial time, effort, and financial resources to assist our customers with the deployment. We generally are not able to recognize the full potential value of our customer contracts until our customers actually deploy our solutions. Cancellation of any deployment after it has begun could result in lost time, effort, and expenses invested in the cancelled deployment process, and would adversely affect our ability to recognize revenue that we anticipated at the time of the execution of the related customer contract. If our customers do not timely and successfully deploy our solutions, our future revenue and operating results could be negatively impacted.

A limited number of clients account for a material portion of our revenue. TerminationRenegotiation or termination of our contracts with any of these clients could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

For the years ended December 31, 2017, 20162023, 2022 and 2015, revenues2021, revenue associated with our relationship with our single largestone major client, FMR LLC, an affiliate of FMR Corp., or Fidelity, accounted for approximately 16%, 16% and 17%, 15% and 18% respectively, of our total revenuesrevenue and our ten largest clients accounted for approximately 37%, 36%34% and 42%33%, respectively, of our total revenues.revenue. Our license agreements with large financial institutions are generally multi-year contracts that may be terminated upon the expiration of the contract term or prior to such time for cause, which may include breach of contract, bankruptcy, insolvency and other reasons. A majority of our agreements with financial advisors generally provide for termination at any time.
A substantial majority of our revenuesrevenue associated with Fidelity is derived from ongoing asset-based platform service fees paid by firms, advisors or advisors’ clients obtained through the Fidelity relationship based upon asset-based fees. A majority of our agreements with financial advisors generally provide for termination at any time. The license agreement with Fidelity, which accounted for less than 1% of our revenue in the year ended December 31, 2017, is subject to renewal on an annual basis.relationship. If Fidelity or a significant number of our most important clients were to renegotiate or terminate their contracts with us, and we were unable to obtain a significant number of new clients, our results of operations, financial condition or business could be materially adversely affected. 

Our investment advisory clients that pay us an asset‑based fee may seek to negotiate a lower fee percentage or may cease using our services, which could limit the growth of, or decrease, our revenues.

A significant portion of our revenues are derived from asset‑based fees. Our investment advisory clients may, for a number of reasons, seek to negotiate a lower asset‑based fee percentage. For example, an increase

Changes in the useestimates of index‑linked investment products by the clientsfair value of our financial advisor clientsreporting units or of long-lived assets, particularly goodwill and intangible assets, may result in lower fees being paid to our clients, and our clients may in turn seek to negotiate lower asset‑based fee percentages for our services. In addition, as competition among our clients increases, they may be required to lower the fees they charge to their clients, which could cause them to seek to decrease our fees accordingly. Any of these factors could result in fluctuation or a decline in our asset‑based fees, which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

Changes in market and economic conditions could lower the value of assets on which we earn revenues and could decrease the demand for our investment solutions and services.

Asset‑based fees make up a significant portion of our revenues. Asset‑based fees represented 60%, 61% and 79% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We expect that asset‑based fees will continue to represent a significant percentage of our total revenues in the future. Significant fluctuations in securities prices may materially affect the value of the assets managed by our clients and may also influence financial advisor and investor decisions regarding whether to invest in, or maintain an investment in, a mutual fund or other investment solution. If such market fluctuation led to less investment in the securities markets, our revenues and earnings derived from asset‑based fees could be materially adversely affected.

We provide our investment solutions and services to the financial services industry. The financial markets, and in turn the financial services industry, are affected by many factors, such as U.S. and foreign economic conditions and general trends in business and finance that are beyond our control. In the event that the U.S. or international financial markets suffer a severe or prolonged downturn, investors may choose to withdraw assets from financial advisors, which we refer to as “redemptions”, and transfer them to investments that are perceived to be more secure, such as bank deposits and Treasury securities. For example, in late 2007 and through the first quarter of 2009, the financial markets experienced a broad and prolonged downturn, our redemption rates were higher than our historical average, and our results of operations, financial condition and business were materially adversely affected. Any prolonged downturn in financial markets or increased levels of asset withdrawals could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

22


Investors’ decisions regarding their investment assets are affected by many factors and investors may redeem or withdraw their investment assets generally at any time. Significant changes in investing patterns or large‑scale withdrawal of investment funds could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

The clients of our financial advisors are generally free to change financial advisors, forgo the advice and other services provided by financial advisors or withdraw the funds they have invested with financial advisors. These clients of financial advisors may elect to change their investment strategies, by moving their assets away from equity securities to fixed income or other investment options, or by withdrawing all or a portion of their assets from their accounts to avoid all securities markets‑related risks. These actions by investors are outside of our control and could materially adversely affect the market value of the investment assets that our clients manage, which could materially adversely affect the asset‑based fees we receive from our clients.

Our hosting, collection, use and storage of customer information and data require the implementation of effective security controls, and a data security breach could disrupt our business, result in the disclosure of confidential information, expose us to liability and protracted and costly litigation, adversely affect our reputation and revenue and cause losses.

We, and our customers through which our solutions are made available to end users, collect, use, transmit and store confidential financial information such as bank account numbers, social security numbers, non-public personally identifiable information, portfolio holdings, credit card data and outstanding debts and bills. The measures we take to provide security for collection, use, storage, processing and transmission of confidential end user information may not be effective to protect against data security breaches by third parties. We use commercially available security technologies, including hardware and software data encryption techniques and multi-layer network security measures, to protect transactions and information. Although we encrypt data fields that typically include sensitive, confidential information, other unencrypted data fields may include similar information that could be accessible in the event of a security breach. We use security and business controls to limit access and use of confidential end user information. Although we require our customers and third-party suppliers to implement controls similar to ours, the technologies and practices of our customers and third-party suppliers may not meet all of the requirements we include in our contracts and we may not have the ability to effectively monitor the implementation of security measures of our customers and third-party suppliers. In a number of cases, our customers build and host their own web applications and access our solutions through our APIs. In these cases, additional risks reside in the customer’s system with respect to security and preventive controls. As a result, inadequacies of our customers’ and third-party suppliers’ security technologies and practices may only be detected after a security breach has occurred. Errors in the collection, use, storage or transmission of confidential end user information may result in a breach of privacy or theft of assets.

The risk of unauthorized circumvention of our security measures has been heightened by advances in computer capabilities and the increasing sophistication of hackers. Criminals are using increasingly sophisticated techniques to engage in illegal activities involving solutions such as ours or involving end user information, such as counterfeiting, fraudulent payment and identity theft. Because the techniques used by hackers change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventive measures. In addition to hackers, it is possible that a customer could gain unauthorized access to our database through the use of our solutions. Improper access to our systems or databases by hackers or customers intending to commit criminal activities could result in the theft, publication, deletion or modification of confidential end user information. An actual or perceived breach of our security may require notification under applicable data privacy regulations.

A data security breach of the systems on which sensitive user data and account information are stored could lead to claims, industry fines, or regulatory actions against us. If we are sued in connection with any data security breach, we could be involved in protracted and costly litigation. If unsuccessful in defending that litigation, we might be forced to pay damages and/or change our business practices or pricing structure, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and profitability. Our customer contracts typically include security standards that must be complied with by us and our customers. If a data security breach occurs and we have not been in compliance with the security standards included in our applicable contracts, we could be liable for breach of contract claims brought by our customers.

23


We could also be required to indemnify our customers for third-party claims, fines, penalties and/or other assessments imposed on our customers as a result of any data security breach and our liability could exceed our insurance coverage or ability to pay.  Envestnet’s Registered Investment Advisers and Broker-Dealer may face SEC, FINRA and state enforcement actions, including monetary fines, if it is determined that Envestnet had inadequate data security measures in place to prevent such theft.

Our security procedures and technologies are regularly audited by independent security auditors engaged by us, and many of our prospective and current customers conduct their own audits or review the results of such independent security audits as part of their evaluation of our solutions. We are also periodically audited by regulatory agencies to which our operations or our customers are subject. Adverse findings in these audits or examinations, even if not accompanied by any data security breach, could adversely affect our ability to maintain our existing customer relationships and establish new customer relationships.

Data security breaches, acts of fraud involving our solutions, or adverse findings in security audits or examinations, could result in reputational damage to us, which could reduce the use and acceptance of our solutions, cause our customers to cease doing business with us and/or have a significant adverse impact on our revenue and future growth prospects. Further, any of these events could lead to additional regulation and oversight by federal and state agencies, which could impose new and costly compliance obligations and may lead to the loss of our ability to make our solutions available.

We could incur significant costs protecting the personal information we store on our technology platforms.

Users of our investment solutions and services are located in the United States and around the world. As a result, we collect and store the personal information of individuals who live in many different countries. Privacy regulators in some of those countries have publicly stated that foreign entities (including entities based in the United States) may render themselves subject to those countries’ privacy laws and the jurisdiction of such regulators by collecting or storing the personal data of those countries’ residents, even if such entities have no physical or legal presence there. Consequently, we may be obligated to comply with the privacy and data security laws of such foreign countries, including the European Union's (“EU”) General Data Protection Regulation which comes into effect on May 25, 2018 and requires businesses operating in the EU or foreign business dealing with EU customers to store and process all personal data within the EU borders. Our exposure to foreign countries’ privacy and data security laws impacts our ability to collect and use personal information, increases our legal compliance costs and may expose us to liability.

We have incurred, and will continue to incur, expenses to comply with privacy and security standards and protocols imposed by law, regulation, industry standards or contractual obligations. Increased domestic or international regulation of data utilization and distribution practices could require us to modify our operations and incur significant additional expense,impairment charges, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows or business. Furthermore, even

Over time, the fair values of long-lived assets change. At December 31, 2023, we had $806.6 million of goodwill and $338.1 million of intangible assets, net, collectively representing 61% of our total assets. 
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment each year using a qualitative or quantitative process that is performed at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. We perform the annual impairment analysis on October 31 in order to provide management time to complete the analysis prior to year-end. Prior to performing the quantitative evaluation, an assessment of qualitative factors may be performed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value. If it is determined that it is unlikely that the carrying value exceeds the fair value, we are not required to complete the quantitative goodwill impairment evaluation. If it is determined that the carrying value may exceed fair value when considering qualitative factors, a quantitative goodwill impairment evaluation is performed. When performing the quantitative evaluation, if not directed at us specifically, attacks on other financial institutions could disrupt the overall functioningcarrying value of the financial system.

The identification of reporting units and consideration of aggregation criteria requires management’s judgment.

We test our indefinite lived intangible assetson an annual basis and more often if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the indefinite lived intangible asset below its carrying amount. We also test property and equipment and other jurisdictions are considering imposing additional restrictions.

privacy and security standards and protocols imposed by law, regulation, industry standards or contractual obligations. As our business continues to expand to new industry segments that may be more highly regulated for privacy and data security, and to countries outside the United States that have more strict data protection laws, our compliance requirements and costs may increase.

We have a significant amount of debt and servicing our debt requires a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to service our debt.

As of December 31, 2017,2023, we had $81,168 of borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) and $172,500$317.5 million of outstanding 1.75% convertible notes0.75% Convertible Notes due in 2019 (the “Convertible Notes”).2025, and $575.0 million of outstanding 2.625% Convertible Notes due 2027. As of December 31, 2017,2023, we had an additional $268,832$500.0 million available to us to borrow under our Amended and RestatedRevolving Credit Agreement.Facility. This indebtedness could, among other things:

·

make it difficult for us to pay other obligations;

·

make it difficult to obtain favorable terms for any necessary future financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements or other purposes;

make it difficult for us to pay other obligations;

·

require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service the indebtedness, reducing the amount of cash flow available for other purposes; and

make it difficult to obtain favorable terms for any necessary future financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements or other purposes;

·

The conditional conversion features of our Convertible Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

In the event the conditional conversion features of our outstanding Convertible Notes are triggered, holders of the Convertible Notes will be entitled to convert their Convertible Notes at any time during specified periods at their option. We may elect to satisfy our conversion obligation in cash, in shares of our common stock or in a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. If one or more holders elect to convert their Convertible Notes, unless we satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solely shares of our common stock (other than cash in lieu of any fractional share), we would be required to settle all or a portion of our conversion obligation through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. Furthermore, even if holders do not elect to convert their Convertible Notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the Convertible Notes as a current rather than long‑term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital.
We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle conversions of our Convertible Notes or purchase the Convertible Notes as required upon a fundamental change, and our existing debt contains, and our future debt may contain, limitations on our ability to pay cash upon conversion or purchase of our Convertible Notes.
Following a fundamental change, Convertible Notes holders will have the right to require us to purchase their Convertible Notes for cash. A fundamental change may also constitute an event of default or prepayment under, and result in the acceleration of the maturity of, our then‑existing indebtedness. In addition, upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, unless we settle our conversion obligation solely in shares of our common stock (other than cash in lieu of any fractional share), we will be required to make cash payments in respect of the Convertible Notes being surrendered for conversion. We may not have sufficient financial resources, or may not be able to arrange financing, to pay the fundamental change purchase price in cash with respect to the Convertible Notes surrendered by holders for purchase upon a fundamental change or make cash payments upon conversions. In addition, restrictions in our Third Credit Agreement (as described herein) or future credit facilities or other indebtedness, if any, may not allow us to purchase the Convertible Notes upon a fundamental change or make cash payments upon conversions of the Convertible Notes. Our failure to purchase the Convertible Notes upon a fundamental change or make cash payments upon conversions thereof when required would result in an event of default with respect to the Convertible Notes which could, in turn, constitute a default under the terms of our other indebtedness, if any. If the repayment
21

of the related indebtedness were to be accelerated after any applicable notice or grace periods, we may not have sufficient funds to repay the indebtedness and purchase the Convertible Notes or make cash payments upon conversions thereof. For a description of the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility, see Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Recent Developments, Revolving Credit Facility” and Part II, Item 8, “Note 14—Debt”.

The capped call transactions entered into in connection with the issuance of our 2.625% Convertible Notes due 2027 may affect the value of such notes and our common stock.

In connection with the issuance of our 2.625% Convertible Notes due 2027 we entered into privately negotiated Capped Call Transactions with the Capped Call Counterparties. The Capped Call Transactions were entered into to reduce the potential dilutive effect on our common stock upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes due 2027 and/or offset any potential cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to cap.
In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the Capped Call Counterparties or their respective affiliates entered into various derivative transactions with respect to our common stock and/or purchased shares of our common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Convertible Notes due 2027. The Capped Call Counterparties and/or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to our common stock and/or purchasing or selling our common stock or other securities of ours in secondary market transactions from time to time prior to the maturity of the Convertible Notes due 2027 (and are likely to do so following any conversion of the Convertible Notes due 2027 or any retirement by us of the Convertible Notes due 2027, in each case if we exercise the relevant election to terminate the corresponding portion of the capped call transactions). This activity could cause or avoid an increase or decrease in the market price of our common stock or the Convertible Notes due 2027. The potential effect, if any, of these transactions and activities on the market price of our common stock or the Convertible Notes due 2027 will depend, in part, on market conditions and cannot be ascertained at this time. Any of these activities could adversely affect the value of our common stock.
We are subject to liability for losses that result from a breach of our fiduciary duties.

Our investment advisory services involve fiduciary obligations that require us to act in the best interests of our clients, and we may be sued and face liabilities for actual or claimed breaches of our fiduciary duties. Because we provide investment advisory services, both directly and indirectly,counterparty risk with respect to substantial assetsthe capped call transactions, and the capped call transactions may not operate as planned.


The Capped Call Counterparties are financial institutions or affiliates of financial institutions, and we could face substantial liability if it is determinedwill be subject to the risk that any or all of them might default under the capped call transactions. Our exposure to the credit risk of the Capped Call Counterparties will not be secured by any collateral. Global economic conditions have, from time to time, resulted in the actual or perceived failure or financial difficulties of many financial institutions. If a Capped Call Counterparty becomes subject to insolvency proceedings, we have breachedwill become an unsecured creditor in those proceedings with a claim equal to our fiduciary duties. In certain circumstances, which generallyexposure at that time under our transactions with that Capped Call Counterparty. Our exposure will depend on many factors, but generally an increase in our exposure will be correlated with increase in the typesmarket price of investment solutionsthe volatility of our common stock. In addition, upon a default by a Capped Call Counterparty, we may suffer more dilution than we currently anticipate with respect to our common stock. We can provide no assurances as to the financial stability or viability of any Capped Call Counterparty.
In addition, the capped call transactions are complex, and servicesthey may not operate as planned. For example, the terms of the called call transactions may be subject to adjustment, modification or, in some cases, renegotiation if certain corporate or other transactions occur. Accordingly, these may not operate as we intend if we are providing, werequired to adjust their terms as a result of transactions in the future or upon unanticipated developments that may enter into client agreements jointly with advisorsadversely affect the functioning of the capped call transactions.
Risks Related to our Operations
Our future success depends on our ability to recruit and retain third‑party investment money managers on behalf of clients. As a result, we may be included as a defendant in lawsuits against financial advisorssenior executive leadership and third‑party investment money managers that involve claims of breaches of the duties of such persons,other key employees and we may face liabilities for the improper actions and/or omissions of such advisors and third‑party investment money managers. In addition, we may face claims based on the results of our investment advisory recommendations, even in the absence of a breach of our fiduciary duty. Such claims and liabilities could therefore have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

We are subject to liability for losses that result from potential, perceived or actual conflicts of interest.

Potential, perceived and actual conflicts of interest are inherent in our existing and future business activities and could give rise to client dissatisfaction, litigation or regulatory enforcement actions. In particular, we pay varying fees to third‑party asset managers and custodians and our financial advisor customers, or their clients, could accuse us of directing them toward those asset managers or custodians that charge us the lowest fees and therefore provide us with a greater financial advantage. In addition, we offer proprietary mutual funds and portfolios of mutual funds through our internal investment management and portfolio consulting group, and financial advisors or their clients could conclude that we favor our proprietary investment products because of their belief that we earn higher fees when our proprietary investment products are used. Adequately addressing conflicts of interest is complex and difficult.successfully manage transitions.

If our reputation is harmed, our results of operations, financial condition or business could be materially adversely affected.

Our reputation, whichfuture success depends on earning and maintaining the trust and confidence of our clients and end users, is critical to our business. Our reputation is vulnerable to many threats that can be difficult or impossible to control, and costly or impossible to remediate. Regulatory inquiries or investigations, data security breaches, lawsuits initiated by our clients or stockholders, employee misconduct, perceptions of conflicts of interest and rumors, among other developments, could substantially damage our reputation, even if they are baseless or satisfactorily addressed. In addition, any perception that the quality of our solutions and services may not be the same or better than that of other providers, can also damage our reputation. Any damage to our reputation could harm our ability to attract and retain clients, which would materially adversely affectsenior executive leadership and other key employees and to successfully manage through transitions in senior executive leadership.

Finding a suitable new chief executive officer can be difficult, and we can provide no assurance as to the length or services, but are frequently found after introduction of new investment solutions and services or enhancements to existing investment solutions or services. We continually introduce new investment solutions and services and new versions of our investment solutions and services. Despite internal testing and testing by current and potential clients, our current and future investment solutions and services may contain serious defects or malfunctions. If we detect any errors before release, we might be required to delay the releasesuccess of the investment solution or service for an extended period of time while we address the problem. We might not discover errors that affect our new or current investment solutions, services or enhancements until after they are deployed, and we may need to provide enhancements to correct such errors. Errors may occur that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business and could result in harm to our reputation, lost sales, delays in commercial release, third‑party claims, regulatory actions, contractual disputes, contract terminations or renegotiations, or unexpected expenses and diversion of management and other resources to remedy errors.search process.

Operational risk generally refers to the risk of loss resulting from our operations, including, but not limited to, improper or unauthorized executionmaintain and processing of transactions, deficiencies in our operating systems, business disruptions and inadequacies or breaches in our internal control processes. The success of our businessdevelop relationships with clients depends largely on our ability to mitigate those operational risksattract, train, motivate and deliver time-sensitive services.  We operateretain highly skilled professionals, particularly professionals with backgrounds in diverse marketssales, marketing, technology and are reliant on the ability of our employees and systems to process large volumes of transactions often within short time frames. Our operations and those of third parties on whom we rely for information and transaction processing services are vulnerable to interruption by technical breakdowns, computer hardware and software malfunctions, software viruses, infrastructure failures, fire, earthquake, power loss, telecommunications failure, terrorist attacks, wars, Internet failures and other events beyond our control.  In the event of any such interruptions or improper operation of systems, human error or improper action by employees, we could suffer financial loss, regulatory sanctions or damage to our reputation.

In addition, our contracts with our customers often include stringent requirements for us to maintain certain levels of performance and service availability. Failure by us to meet these contractual requirements could result in a claim for substantial damages against us, regardless of whether we are responsible for that failure. Our customers may also delay or withhold payment to us, elect to terminate or not to renew their contracts with us, or refuse to integrate our solutions into their online offerings, or we could lose future sales to new customers as a result of damage to our reputation due to such service downtime or interruptions. If we suffer a significant database or network facility outage, our business could experience disruption until we fully implement our back-up systems. The occurrence of any such disruptions in our solutions could materially and adversely affect our business.

Furthermore, there may be circumstances when our customers are dissatisfied with our investment solutions and services, even in the absence of an operational error. In such circumstances, we may elect to make payments or otherwise incur increased costs or lower revenues in order to maintain a strong customer relationship. In any of the forgoing circumstances, our results of operations, financial condition or business could be materially adversely affected.

We may become subject to liability based on the use of our investment solutions and services by our clients.

Our investment solutions and services support the investment processes of our clients, which, in the aggregate, manage billions of dollars of assets. Our client agreements have provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential liability claims brought by our clients or third parties based on the use of our investment solutions and services. However, these provisions have certain exceptions and could be invalidated by unfavorable judicial decisions or by federal, state, foreign or local laws. Use of our products as part of the investment process creates the risk that clients, or the parties whose assets are managed by our clients, may pursue claims against us for very significant dollar amounts. Any such claim, even if the outcome were to be ultimately favorable to us, would involve a significant commitment of our management, personnel, financial and other resourcesinvestment services. Consequently, we must hire and could have a negative impact on our reputation. Such claimsretain employees with the technical expertise and lawsuits could therefore have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

Furthermore, our clients may use our investment solutions and services together with software, data or products from other companies. As a result, when problems occur, it might be difficultindustry knowledge necessary to identify the source of the problem. Even when our investment solutions and services do not cause these problems, the existence of these errors might cause us to incur significant costs and divert the attention of our management and technical personnel, any of which could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.

Our business relies heavily on computer equipment, electronic delivery systems and the Internet. Any failures or disruptions in such technologies could result in reduced revenues, increased costs and the loss of customers.

Our business relies heavily on our computer equipment (including our servers), electronic delivery systems and the Internet, but these technologies are vulnerable to disruptions, failures or slowdowns caused by fire, earthquake, power loss, telecommunications failure, terrorist attacks, wars, Internet failures, computer viruses and other events beyond our control. We derive our subscription revenue from licenses to a single software platform, and related support and professional services.  As such, any factor adversely affecting subscriptions to that single software platform, including those described elsewhere under “Risk Factors” or in other portions of this Form 10-K, would harm our business and operating results.  Furthermore, we rely on agreements with our suppliers, such as our current data hosting and service provider, to provide us with access to certain computer equipment, electric delivery systems and the Internet. We are unable to predict whether a future contractual dispute may arise with one of our suppliers that could cause a disruption in service, or whether our agreements with our suppliers can be obtained or renewed on acceptable terms, or at all. An unanticipated disruption, failure or slowdown affecting our key technologies or facilities may have significant ramifications, such as data‑loss, data corruption, damaged software codes or inaccurate processing of transactions. We maintain off‑ site back‑up facilities for our electronic information and computer equipment, but these facilities could be subject to the same interruptions that may affect our primary facilities. Any significant disruptions, failures, slowdowns, data‑loss or data corruption could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business and result in the loss of customers.

Our insurance coverage and contractual liability limitations may fail to provide adequate protections.

We maintain general liability insurance coverage, including coverage for errors or omissions; however, this coverage may not continue to be available on reasonable terms or may be insufficient to cover one or more large claims. An insurer might disclaim coverage as to any future claim. A successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceedsdevelop our available insurance coverage or changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of a large deductible or co-insurance requirement, could harm our operating resultsservices and financial condition.  Additionally, although we attempt to limit our contractual liability in delivering our solutions, these limitations on liability may be unenforceable in some cases, or may be insufficient to protect us from liability for damages.

If we fail to process transactions effectively or fail to adequately protect against disputed or potential fraudulent activities, our revenue and earnings may be harmed.

Envestnet | Yodlee processes a significant volume and dollar value of transactions on a daily basis using its money movement solutions. Effective processing systems and controls are essential to ensure that transactions are handled appropriately. Despite our efforts, it is possible that we may make errors or that funds may be misappropriated due to fraud. If we are unable to effectively manage our systemssales and processesmarketing organization to assist the growth of our operations. We believe there is significant competition for professionals with the skills necessary to perform the services we offer. We experience competition for these professionals from competitors, other technology companies and financial services organizations, many of which have greater resources than we do and therefore may be able to offer higher compensation packages. Competition for these employees is intense, and we may not have sufficient human resources programs, practices and benefits to be unableable to process money movement transactions in an accurate, reliableretain our existing employees or be able to recruit and timely manner, which may harm our business. In addition, if we do not detect suspected fraudulent or non-sufficient fund transactions within agreed-upon timelines, we may be requiredretain other highly skilled personnel. The inability to reimburse our customers for the transactionsattract and such reimbursements may exceed the amount of the reserves we have established to make such payments.

The online payments industry has been experiencing an increasing amount of fraudulent activities by third parties. Although we do not believe that any of this activity is uniquely targeted at our business, this type of fraudulent activity may adversely impact us. In addition to any direct damages and potential fines that may result from such fraud, which may be substantial, a loss of confidence in our controls may seriously harm our business and damage our reputation. We may implement risk control mechanisms thatretain qualified personnel could make it more difficult for legitimate end users to use our solutions, which could result in lost revenue and negatively impact our operating results.

If we are unable to maintain our payment network with third-party service providers, or if our disbursement partners encounter business difficulties, our business could be harmed.

Envestnet | Yodlee’s payment network consists of a single Originating Deposit Financial Institution (“ODFI”),financial performance and a small number of bill payment processors. Our ODFI clears and processes the funds from the customer. In the instance of funds transfers, the ODFI also processes funds to the end user’s destination institution. For bill payment, funds are sent to the bill pay processors for disbursement to biller sites.

While we have entered into an agreement with our ODFI and each of our bill payment processors, these partners could choose to terminate or not renew their agreements with us. If we are unable to maintain our agreements with our current partners, or our current partners are unable to handle increased transaction volumes, our ability to disburse transactionsmeet operational goals and our revenue and business may be harmed. If we are unable to sign new payment processors and/or ODFIs under terms consistent with, or better than, those currently in place, our revenue and business may be harmed.

Payment processors and ODFI partners also engage in a variety of activities in addition to providing our services and may encounter business difficulties unrelated to our services. Such activities or difficulties could cause the affected partner to reduce the services provided, cease to do business with us, or cease doing business altogether. This could lead to our inability to move funds on a timely basis as required to settle transactions. In addition, because we offer next day automated clearing house transactions in certain cases, if a disbursement partner experiences insufficient liquidity or ceases to do business, we may not be able to recover funds that are held with that disbursement partner which could harm our financial condition and operating results.

We may also be forced to cease doing business with payment processors and/or ODFIs if rules governing electronic funds transfers change or are reinterpreted to make it difficult or impossible for us to operate our money movement solutions.

If sources from which we obtain information limit our access to such information or charge us fees for accessing such information, our business could be materially and adversely harmed.

Our Envestnet | YodleeData & Analytics data aggregation solutions require certain data that we obtain from thousands of sources, including banks, other financial institutions, retail businesses and other organizations, some of which are not our current customers. As of December 31, 2017,2023, we receive approximately 70%over 80% of this data through structured data feeds that are provided under the terms of our contracts with most of our financial institution, or FI, customers. Although all of the information we currently gather is end user-permissioned, non-identified data and, currently, we generally have free,

unrestricted access to, or ability to use, such information, one or more of our current customers could decide to limit or block our access to the data feeds we currently have in place with these customers due to factors outside of our control, such as more burdensome regulation of our or our customers’ industry, increased compliance requirements or changes in business strategy. If the sources from which we obtain information that is important to our solutions limit or restrict our ability to access or use such information, we may be required to attempt to obtain the information, if at all, through end user-permissioned data scraping or other means that could be more costly and time-consuming, and less effective or efficient. In the past, a limited number of third parties, primarily airline and international sites, have either blocked our access to their websites or requested that we cease employing data scraping of their websites to gather information, and we could receive similar, additional requests in the future. Any such limitation or restriction may also preclude us from providing our solutions on a timely basis, if at all. In addition, if in the future one or more third parties challenge our right to access information from these sources, we may be required to negotiate with these sources for access to their information or to discontinue certain services currently provided by our solutions. The legal environment surrounding data scraping and similar means of obtaining access to information on third-party websites is not completely clear and is evolving, and one or more third parties could assert claims against us seeking damages or to prevent us from accessing information in that manner. In the event sources from which we obtain this information begin to charge us fees for accessing such information, we may be forced to increase the fees that we charge our customers, which could make our solutions less attractive, or our gross margins and other financial results could suffer.

Failure by our customers to obtain proper permissions and waivers might result in claims against us or may limit or prevent our use of data, which could harm our business.

Because some of our sales efforts are targeted at large financial institutions and large FinTech companies, we face prolonged sales cycles, substantial upfront sales costs and less predictability in completing some of our sales. If our sales cycle lengthens, or if our upfront sales investments do not result in sufficient revenue, our operating results may be harmed.
We target a portion of our sales efforts at large financial institutions and large FinTech companies, which presents challenges that are different from those we encounter with smaller customers. Because our large customers are often making an enterprise-wide decision to deploy our solutions, we require our customers to provide necessary noticesface longer sales cycles, complex customer requirements, substantial upfront sales costs, significant contract negotiations and to obtain necessary permissions and waivers for use and disclosure of information through our solutions.less predictability in completing sales with these customers. Our contractssales cycle can often last one year or more with our largest customers, for these services include assurances from themwho often undertake an extended evaluation process, but is variable and difficult to predict. We anticipate that they have done sowe will experience even longer sales cycles, more complex customer needs, higher upfront sales costs and will do so, but weless predictability in completing sales with customers located outside of the United States. If our sales cycle lengthens or our upfront sales investments do not auditgenerate sufficient revenue to justify our customers to ensure that they have acted, and continue to act, consistent with such assurances. If, despite these requirements and contractual obligations,investments in our customers do not obtain necessary permissions and waivers, then our use and disclosure of information that we receive from them or on their behalf might be limited or prohibited by federal, state or foreign privacy laws or other laws. Such a failure to obtain proper permissions and waivers could impair our functions, processes and databases that reflect, contain, or are based upon such data and might prevent use of such data. In addition, such a failure could interfere with, or prevent creation or use of, rules, analyses, or other data-driven activities that benefit us and our business. Moreover, we might be subject to claims or liability for use or disclosure of information by reason of lack of valid notices, agreements, permissions or waivers. These claims or liabilities could subject us to unexpected costs and adversely affectsales efforts, our operating results.

Investors’ decisions regarding their investment assets are affected by many factors and investors may redeem or other claims relating to the information we provide. For example, individuals may take legal action against us if they rely on information we have provided and it contains an error. In addition, we could be subject to claims based upon the content that is accessible from our website through links to other websites. Moreover, we could face liability based on inaccurate information provided to us by others.

The clients of our financial advisors are generally free to change financial advisors, forgo the advice and other services provided by financial advisors or withdraw the funds they have invested with financial advisors. These clients of financial advisors may elect to change their investment strategies, by moving their assets away from equity securities to fixed income or other investment options, or by withdrawing all or a portion of their assets from their accounts to avoid all securities markets‑related risks. These actions by investors are outside of our control and could materially adversely affect the market value of the investment assets that our clients manage, which could materially adversely affect the asset‑based fees we receive from our clients.
A substantial portion of our revenue is based on fees earned on the efforts, relationshipsvalue of assets under management or administration. Changes in market and reputationseconomic conditions could lower the value of assets on which we earn revenue and could decrease the demand for our investment solutions and services.
Asset‑based fees make up a significant portion of our senior management teamrevenue. Asset‑based fees represented approximately 60% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and other key personnel, including Judson Bergman, our Chief Executive Officer, William Crager, our President, Anil Arora, Vice Chairman, and Scott Grinis, our Chief Technology Officer, in order to successfully manage our business.2021. We believeexpect that success in our businessasset‑based fees will continue to be based upon the strengthrepresent a significant percentage of our intellectual capital. The losstotal revenue in the future. Significant fluctuations in securities prices may materially affect the market value of the assets managed by our clients and may also influence financial advisor and investor decisions regarding whether to invest in, or maintain an investment in, a particular investment or strategy. If such market fluctuation led to less investment in the securities markets, our revenue and earnings derived from asset‑based fees could be materially adversely affected. Our asset-based fees are generally calculated quarterly using the value of assets at the end of each calendar quarter. Our methodology may result in lower fees if the financial markets are down when fees are calculated, even if the market had performed well earlier in the quarter.
We provide our investment solutions and services to the financial services industry. The financial markets, and in turn the financial services industry, are affected by many factors, such as U.S. and foreign economic conditions and general trends in business and finance that are beyond our control. In the event that the U.S. or international financial markets suffer a severe or prolonged downturn, investors may choose to withdraw assets from financial advisors, which we refer to as “redemptions”, and transfer them to investments that are perceived to be more secure, such as bank deposits and Treasury securities, and on which we might not earn fees. For example, in early 2022 continuing through the fourth quarter of any member2022, the financial markets experienced a broad downturn, our redemption rates were higher than our historical average, and our results of our senior management teamoperations, financial condition and business were materially adversely affected. A continued downturn in financial markets or increased levels of other key personnelasset withdrawals could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

Historically, redemption rates have typically increased during periods where there has been a significant downturn in financial markets. Any potential decline in assets on which we earn fees would not necessarily be proportional to, and in total, could be greater than the overall market decline.

29

Increased geopolitical unrest and other events outside of our control could adversely affect the global economy or specific international, regional and domestic markets, which could cause the assets on which we earn revenue to decrease and adversely affect our revenue and earnings.


Geopolitical risks, including those arising from trade tension and/or the imposition of trade tariffs, terrorist activity or acts of civil or international hostility, are increasing. For instance, the conflicts in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine have and may continue to result in geopolitical instability and adversely affect the global economy, supply chains and specific markets. Similarly, other events outside of the Company’s control, including natural disasters, climate-related events, pandemics or health crises may arise from time to time and be accompanied by governmental actions that may increase international tension. Any such events and responses, may cause significant volatility and declines in the global markets, disproportionate impacts to certain industries or sectors, disruptions to commerce (including to economic activity, travel and supply chains), loss of life and property damage, and may adversely affect the global economy or capital markets, as well as the Company’s products, operations, clients, vendors and employees, which may cause the assets on which we earn revenue to decrease thus causing our revenue and earnings to decline.

Our operations are subjectWe must continue to extensive government regulation, and compliance failures or regulatory action against us could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.

The financial services industry is among the most extensively regulated industries in the United States. We operate investment advisory, broker‑dealer, and mutual fund lines of business, each of which is subject to a specific and extensive regulatory scheme. In addition, we are subject to numerous laws and regulations of general application. It is very difficult to predict the future impact of the legislative and regulatory requirements affecting our business and our clients’ businesses.

Certain of our subsidiaries are registered as “investment advisers” with the SEC under the Advisers Act and are regulated thereunder. In addition, many of our investment advisory services are conducted pursuant to the non‑exclusive safe harbor from the definition of an “investment company” provided under Rule 3a‑4 under the Investment Company Act. If Rule 3a‑4 were to cease to be available, or if the SEC were to modify the rule or its interpretation of how the rule is applied, our business could be adversely affected. Certain of our registered investment adviser subsidiaries provide advice to mutual fund clients. Mutual funds are registered as “investment companies” under the Investment Company Act. Our advisory subsidiaries provide advice on assets subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). The Advisers Act, Investment Company Act and ERISA, together with related regulations and interpretations of the SEC and the Department of Labor, impose numerous obligations and restrictions on investment advisers and mutual funds, including requirements relating to the safekeeping of client funds and securities, limitations on advertising, disclosure and reporting obligations, prohibitions on fraudulent activities, restrictions on transactions between an adviser and its clients, and between a mutual fund and its advisers and affiliates, and other detailed operating requirements, as well as general fiduciary obligations.

In addition, PBS, our broker‑dealer subsidiary, is registered as a broker‑dealer with the SEC and with all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and is a member of FINRA, a securities industry self‑regulatory organization that supervises and regulates the conduct and activities of its members. Broker‑dealers are subject to regulations that cover all aspects of their business, including sales practices, market making and trading among broker‑dealers, use and safekeeping of customer funds and securities, capital structure, recordkeeping and the conduct of directors, officers, employees, representatives and associated persons. FINRA conducts periodic examinations of the operations of its members, including PBS. As a broker‑dealer, PBS is also subject to certain minimum net capital requirements under SEC and FINRA rules. Compliance with the net capital rules may limit our ability to withdraw capital from PBS.

Envestnet | Yodlee is examined on a periodic basis by various regulatory agencies. For example, it is a supervised third-party technology service provider subject to multi-agency supervisory examinations in a wide variety of areas based on published guidance by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council. These examinations include examinations of our management, acquisition and development activities, support and delivery, IT, and disaster preparedness and business recovery planning. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) is the agency in charge of these examinations. If deficiencies are identified, customers may choose to terminate or reduce their relationships with us.

Either as a result of direct regulation or obligations under customer agreements, many of our subsidiaries are required to comply with certain provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”), related to the privacy of consumer information and may be subject to other privacy and data security laws because of the solutions we provide. In addition, numerous regulations have been proposed and are still being written to implement the Dodd-Frank Act for enhanced due diligence of the internal systems and processes of companies like ours by their regulated customers. If we are required to make changes to our internal processes and solutions as result of this heightened scrutiny, we could be required to invest substantial additional time and funds and divert time and resources from other corporate purposes to remedy any identified deficiency.

All of the foregoing laws and regulations are complex, evolving, unclear and inconsistent across various jurisdictions and we are required to expend significant resources in order to maintain our monitoring of, and compliance with, such laws and regulations. We continually develop improvements to our existing products and services as well asintroduce new products and services.  Many of these improvements or new products and services may implicate regulations to which we may not already be subject or with which we may not have experience. Any failure on our part to comply with

30


these and other applicable laws and regulations could result in decreasing the demand for these products and services, increasing our potential liability or increase or costs, regulatory fines, suspensions of personnel or other sanctions, including revocation of our subsidiaries as an investment adviser or broker‑dealer, as the case may be, which could, among other things, require changes to our business practices and scope of operations or harm our reputation. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

Changes to the laws or regulations applicable to us or to our clients could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.

We may be adversely affected as a result of new or revised legislation or regulations imposed by the SEC or other U.S. or foreign governmental regulatory authorities or self‑regulatory organizations that supervise the financial markets around the world. In addition, we may be adversely affected by changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and rules by these governmental authorities and self‑regulatory organizations. It is impossible to determine the extent of the impact of any new laws, regulations or initiatives that may be proposed, or whether any current proposals will become law, and it is difficult to predict how any changes or potential changes could affect our business. Changes to laws or regulations could increase our potential liability in connection with the investment solutions and other services that we provide. The introduction of any new laws orand technological enhancements to address our clients’ changing needs, market changes, regulations, could make our abilityand technological developments and failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations more difficult and expensive. Any of the foregoingdo so could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

A deemed “change of control”

The market for our investment solutions and services is characterized by shifting client demands, evolving market practices, new and evolving regulations, and for some of our company could require usinvestment solutions and services, rapid technological change, including the use of AI by Envestnet or our clients. Changing client demands, new market rules and practices, or new technologies can render existing investment solutions and services obsolete and unmarketable. As a result, our future success will continue to obtaindepend upon our ability to develop new investment solutions and services, and service and technological enhancements that address the consentfuture needs of our target markets and respond to technological and market changes. We incurred technology development costs of approximately $234 million, $239 million and $192 million in the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We expect that our technology development costs will reduce in 2024 as we have completed our investment cycle but may increase in the future. We may not be able to accurately estimate the impact of new investment solutions and services on our business or how their benefits will be perceived by our clients. Further, we may not be successful in developing, introducing, marketing and licensing our new investment solutions or services or investment solution or service enhancements on a timely and cost effective basis, or at all, and our new investment solutions and services and enhancements may not adequately meet the requirements of the marketplace or achieve market acceptance. In addition, clients and a failure to do so properlymay delay purchases in anticipation of new investment solutions or services or enhancements. Any of these factors could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.

As a global organization, our business is susceptible to risks associated with our international operations.
We currently maintain international operations in India, the AdvisersUnited Kingdom, Canada and Australia, engage with other jurisdictions outside of the United States for the purpose of gathering data, and have customers located around the globe. Managing a global organization outside of the United States is difficult and time-consuming and introduces risks that we may not face with our operations and sales in the United States. These risks include:

the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign regulations, laws and legal standards, including financial services, privacy, cybersecurity, tax and employment, some of which may be materially different or more stringent than those of the United States;
regional data privacy laws that apply to the transmission of data across international borders;
lack of familiarity with, and unexpected changes in, foreign regulatory requirements;
customers’ unfamiliarity with and concerns regarding laws and regulations of the United States that may impact our business operations in their jurisdictions;
negative, local perception of industries and customers that we may pursue;
laws and business practices favoring local competitors;
localization of our solutions, including unanticipated costs related to translation into foreign languages and adaptation for local practices and regulatory requirements;
different pricing environments;
difficulties in managing and staffing international operations;
reduced or varied protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;
compliance with laws and regulations for foreign operations, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act, import and export control laws, tariffs, trade barriers, economic sanctions and other regulatory or contractual limitations on our ability to sell our solutions in certain foreign markets, and the risks and costs of compliance;
fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
potentially adverse tax consequences, including the complexities of foreign value added tax systems, difficulty in interpreting international tax laws and restrictions on the repatriation of earnings;
increased financial accounting and reporting burdens and complexities; and
political, social and economic instability abroad, terrorist attacks and security concerns in general.

Operating in international markets also requires significant management attention and financial resources. A component of our growth strategy involves the further expansion of our operations and the development of new customer relationships internationally. In order to potentially expand internationally, we will need to develop relationships with additional partners and add internal capabilities to effectively manage the operational, financial, legal and regulatory requirements and risks associated with our international operations. The investment advisory agreements entered into bywe make and additional resources we use to expand our investment adviser subsidiariesoperations, target new international customers, expand our presence globally within our existing customers and manage operational and sales growth in other countries may not be assigned without the client’s consent. Under the Investment Company Act, advisory agreements with registered funds terminate automatically upon assignmentproduce desired levels of revenue or profitability, which could adversely affect our business and any assignmentoperating results.

If we are unable to obtain all necessary consentseffectively manage certain risks and challenges related to our India operations, our business could be harmed.
Our India operations are a key factor to our success. We believe that our significant presence in India provides certain important advantages for our business, such as direct access to a large pool of skilled professionals and assistance in growing our business internationally. However, it also creates certain risks that we must effectively manage. As of December 31, 2023, 46% of our approximately 3,100 employees were based in India. Wage costs in India for skilled professionals are currently lower than in the United States for comparably skilled professionals. However, wages in India are increasing at a faster rate than in the United States, which could result in us incurring increased costs for technical professionals and reduced margins. There is intense competition in India for skilled technical professionals, and we expect such competition to increase. As a result, we may be unable to retain our current employee base in India or hire additional new talent or do so cost-effectively. In addition, India has experienced significant inflation, low growth in gross domestic product and shortages of foreign exchange. India also has experienced civil unrest and terrorism and, in the past, has been involved in conflicts with neighboring countries. The occurrence of any of these circumstances could result in disruptions to our India operations, which, if such a challenge were to be successful itcontinued for an extended period of time, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

We rely on exemptions from certain laws and if for any reason these exemptions were to become unavailable to us, we could become subject to regulatory action or third‑party claims and our business could be materially and adversely affected.

We regularly rely on exemptions from various requirements of the Exchange Act, the Advisers Act, the Investment Company Act and ERISA in conducting our activities. These exemptions are sometimes highly complex and may in certain circumstances depend on compliance by third parties whom we do not control. If for any reason these exemptions were to become unavailable to us, we could become subject to regulatory action or third‑party claims and our business could be materially and adversely affected.

If government regulation of the Internet or other areas of our business changes, or if consumer attitudes toward use of the Internet change, we may need to change the manner in which we conduct our business or incur greater operating expenses.

The adoption, modification or interpretation of laws or regulations relating to the Internet or other areas of our business could adversely affect the manner in which we conduct our business. Such laws and regulations may cover sales practices, taxes, user privacy, data protection, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, electronic contracts, consumer protection, broadband residential Internet access and the characteristics and quality of services. Moreover, it is not clear how existing laws governing these matters apply to the Internet. If we are requiredunable to complyeffectively manage any of the foregoing risks related to our India operations, our development efforts could be impaired, our growth could be slowed, and our operating results could be negatively impacted.

We operate in highly competitive industries, with new regulationsmany firms competing for business from financial advisors and financial institutions on the basis of a number of factors, including the quality and breadth of investment solutions and services, ability to innovate, reputation and the prices of services and this competition could hurt our financial performance.
We compete with many different types of companies that vary in size and scope, including custodians, turnkey asset management platforms, data and analytics providers, and other financial technology companies. Representative competitors include Pershing LLC (a subsidiary of BNY Mellon Corporation), InvestCloud, Advent Software (a subsidiary of SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc.) and Orion Advisor Services in our Envestnet Wealth Solutions business and Intuit, Inc., Plaid Inc., Finicity Corporation (a subsidiary of Mastercard International Inc.) and Fiserv, Inc in our Envestnet Data & Analytics business. Competition is discussed in greater detail under “Business—Competition” included in this Annual Report. In addition, some of our clients have developed or

may develop the in‑house capability to provide the technology and/or investment advisory services they have retained us to perform. These clients may also offer internally developed services to their financial advisors, obviating the need to hire us, and they may offer these services to third‑party financial advisors or financial institutions, thereby competing directly with us for that business.

Many of our competitors in this business have significantly greater resources than we do. These resources may allow our competitors to respond more quickly to changes in demand for investment solutions and services, to devote greater resources to developing and promoting their services and to make more attractive offers to potential clients and strategic partners, which could hurt our financial performance.

We also face increased competition due to the current trend of industry consolidation.

New companies entering our market may choose to offer internally-developed solutions at little or no additional expensescost to their end users by bundling them with their existing applications and solutions. Increased competition is likely to result in pricing pressures, which could negatively impact our gross margins.
Our failure to successfully compete in any of the above‑mentioned areas could result in reduced revenue or alter our business model, eitherlack of market share which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

Competition could also affect the revenue mix of services we provide, resulting in decreased revenue in lines of business with higher profit margins.

26

We are subject to liability for losses that result from potential, perceived or actual conflicts of interest.
Potential, perceived and actual conflicts of interest are inherent in our existing and future business activities and could give rise to client dissatisfaction, litigation or regulatory enforcement actions. In particular, we pay and/or charge varying fees to third‑party asset managers and custodians and our financial advisor customers, or their clients, could accuse us of directing them toward those asset managers or custodians that charge us lower fees or pay us higher fees and therefore provide us with a greater financial advantage. In addition, we offer proprietary funds and proprietary investment strategies through our internal investment management and portfolio consulting group, and financial advisors or their clients could conclude that we favor our proprietary investment products because of their belief that we earn higher fees when our proprietary investment products are used. Conflict may also be introduced through revenue sharing arrangements from third parties, including custodians, issuers and/or asset managers, and clients or regulators could assert that Envestnet’s decisions are being made not in the best interest of the client(s), but to increase the amount of revenue paid to Envestnet through these revenue sharing arrangements. Adequately addressing conflicts of interest is complex and difficult. If we fail, or appear to fail, to adequately address or disclose potential, perceived or actual conflicts of interest, the resulting negative public perception and reputational harm could materially adversely affect our client relations or ability to enter into contracts with new clients and, consequently, our results of operations, financial condition and business.

We are substantially dependent on our intellectual property rights, and a failure to protect these rights could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.

We have made substantial investments in software and other intellectual property on which our business is highly dependent. We rely on a combination of patent, trade secret, trademark and copyright laws, confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements and other contractual and technical security measures to protect our proprietary technology, all of which provide only limited protection. As of December 31, 2017,2023, notwithstanding expiration of some of our oldest patents, we had approximately 80over 50 issued patents in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions as well as additional pending patent applications in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. Some of these patents relate to technology that is included in our data aggregation platform and expire beginning in 2018. Any loss of our intellectual property rights, or any significant claim of infringement or indemnity for violation of the intellectual property rights of others, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

Many of our key technologies, investment solutions or services are not covered by any copyright registration, issued patent or patent application. We are the owner of certain patent rights, registered trademarks in the United States, including “ENVESTNET,” and we claim common law rights in other trademarks that are not registered. We cannot guarantee that:

·

our intellectual property rights will provide competitive advantages to us;

·

our ability to assert our intellectual property rights against potential competitors or to settle current or future disputes will not be limited by our agreements with third parties;

·

our intellectual property rights will be enforced in jurisdictions where competition may be intense or where legal protection may be weak;

·

any of the trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights that we presently employ in our business will not lapse or be invalidated, circumvented, challenged or abandoned;

·

our trademark applications will lead to registered trademarks; or

·

competitors will not design around our intellectual property rights or develop similar technologies, investment solutions or products; or that we will not lose the ability to assert our intellectual property rights against others.

We are alsorely on a party to a number of third‑party intellectual property license agreements. Some of these license agreements require us to make one‑time payments or ongoing subscription payments. We cannot guarantee that the third‑party intellectual property we license will not be licensed to our competitors or others in our industry. In the future, we may need to obtain additional licenses or renew existing license agreements. We are unable to predict whether these license agreements can be obtained or renewed on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, we have granted our customers certain rights to use our intellectual property in the ordinary course of our business. Some of our customer agreements restrict our ability to license or develop certain customized technology or services within certain markets or to certain competitors of our customers. For example, our agreement with Fidelity restricts our ability to develop an enterprise‑level integration or combination of productspatent, trade secret, trademark and services substantially similar to the technology platform we have developed for Fidelity. Some of our customercopyright laws, confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements grant our customers ownership rights with respect to the portion of the intellectual property we have developed or customized for our customers. In addition, some of our customer agreements require us to deposit the source code to the customized technology and investment solutions with a source code escrow agent, which source code may be released in the event we enter into bankruptcy or are unable to provide support and maintenance of the technology or investment solutions we have licensed to our customers. These provisions in our agreements may limit our ability to grow our business in the future.

32


Third parties may sue us for intellectual property infringement or misappropriation which, if successful, could require us to pay significant damages or make changes to the investment solutions or services that we offer.

We cannot be certain that our internally developed or acquired technologies, investment solutions or services do not and will not infringe the intellectual property rights of others. In addition, we license content, software and other intellectual property rights from third partiescontractual and may be subject to claims of infringement if such parties do not possess the necessary intellectual property rights to the products they license to us. The risk of infringement claims against us will increase if more of our competitors are able to obtain patents for investment solutions or services or business processes. In addition, we face additional risk of infringement or misappropriation claims if we hire an employee who possesses third party proprietary information who decides to use such information in connection with our investment solutions, services or business processes without such third‑party’s authorization. We have in the past been and may in the future be subject to legal proceedings and claims that we have infringed or misappropriated the intellectual property rights of a third party. These claims sometimes involve patent holding companies who have no relevant product revenues and against whom our own proprietary technology may therefore provide little or no deterrence. In addition, third parties may in the future assert intellectual property infringement claims against our customers, which, in certain circumstances, we have agreed to indemnify. Any intellectual property related infringement or misappropriation claims, whether or not meritorious, could result in costly litigation and could divert management resources and attention. Moreover, should we be found liable for infringement or misappropriation, we may be required to enter into licensing agreements, if available on acceptable terms or at all, pay substantial damages or make changes to the investment solutions and services that we offer. Any of the foregoing could prevent us from competing effectively, result in substantial costs to us, divert management’s attention and our resources away from our operations and otherwise harm our reputation.

If our intellectual property and proprietary technology are not adequately protected to prevent use or appropriation by our competitors, our business and competitive position would suffer.

Our future success and competitive position depend in part on our abilitytechnical security measures to protect our intellectual property rights. The steps we have taken to protectproprietary technology, all of which provide only limited protection. Despite our intellectual property rights may be inadequate to prevent the misappropriation of our proprietary technology. There can be no assurance that others will not develop or patent similar or superior technologies, investment solutions or services. Unauthorizedefforts, unauthorized copying or other misappropriation of our proprietary technologies could enable third parties to benefit from our intellectual property rights without paying us for doing so, which could harm our business. Policing unauthorized use of proprietary technology is difficult and expensive and our monitoring and policing activities may not be sufficient to identify any misappropriation and protect our proprietary technology. In addition, third parties may knowingly or unknowingly infringe our trademarks and other intellectual property rights, and litigation may be necessary to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights. If litigation is necessary to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights, any such litigation could be very costly and could divert management attention and resources. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights or if third parties independently develop or gain access to our or similar technologies, investment solutions or services, our results of operations, financial condition and business could be materially adversely affected.

We are dependent upon third-party service providers in our technology development and operations.

Envestnet utilizes third-party service providers to provide support and development in connection with our technology and operations. A failure by a third-party service provider could expose us to an inability to provide services to our clients on a timely basis. Additionally, if a third-party service provider is unable to provide these services, we may exposeincur significant costs to develop these services internally or find a replacement provider.
Our reliance on outsourcing arrangements subjects us to risk and may disrupt or adversely affect our operations.

We have entered into an agreement with TCS pursuant to which we have outsourced certain development, engineering and back-office functions of the Envestnet Data & Analytics business located in Bangalore, India to increase operations scale

and business agility. Although we have service-level arrangements with TCS and a variety of contractual obligations and options designed to (a) monitor TCS’s performance and (b) incentivize a high level of performance by TCS, because we do not ultimately control its performance, our reliance on a third-party vendor could subject us to additional risks, and harm ourincluding the loss of valuable intellectual property, rights.

While we monitor our use of open source code to attempt to avoid subjecting our solutions to conditions we do not intend, such use could inadvertently occur.

Even if we are able to obtain replacement services in these scenarios, there may be a disruption or delay in our ability to operate our business, and the replacement services might be more expensive than those we have currently. The process of transitioning services and data from one provider to another can be complicated, time-consuming, expensive and may lead to significant disruptions in our business and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

One of our senior officers has ownership interests in certain of our “exchange” joint ventures and thus may have interests different from our and our stockholders’ interests.


Confidentiality agreementsMagis Capital Partners LLC. Envestnet and Magis are jointly invested in four ventures: Fiduciary Exchange, LLC (FIDx), Advisor Credit Exchange, LLC (ACE), HealthPilot, LLC, and Trucendent, LLC. In addition to our investment in each of the Exchanges, we also have various commercial arrangements with employees, consultantsthe Exchanges and others may not adequately prevent disclosureMagis. Each of trade secretsthe Exchanges was formed, and other proprietary information.

We have devoted substantial resourcesour initial investments in each of the Exchanges was made, prior to Mr. Sipp becoming an employee in April 2021.

As a co-founder of Magis and investor in Magis private funds invested in the Exchanges, Mr. Sipp has a financial interest in the Exchanges which may create, or appear to create, a conflict of interest when we face decisions that could have different implications for us and the Exchanges. When Mr. Sipp joined us, we established procedures to minimize any such actual or potential conflicts of interest. Compliance with these procedures are monitored by our Chief Compliance Officer and reported on to our Audit Committee. Notwithstanding these procedures, Mr. Sipp’s personal and financial interests in Magis and the Exchanges may give him interests regarding the Exchanges different from those of us and our stockholders and may influence certain of his business decisions that directly or indirectly affect the Exchanges.


Activist shareholders could hinder execution of our proprietary technologies, investment solutionsbusiness strategy, divert board and services. In order to protect our proprietary rights, we enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultantsmanagement’s attention and independent contractors. These agreements may not effectively prevent unauthorized disclosure of confidential information or unauthorized parties from copying aspects of our technologies, investment solutions or products or obtaining and using information that we regard as proprietary. Moreover, these agreements may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of such unauthorized disclosures of confidential information and we cannot assure you that our rights under such agreements will be enforceable. In addition, others may independently discover trade secrets and proprietary information, and in such cases we could not assert any trade secret rights against such parties. Costly and time‑consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could reduce any competitive advantage we have developedresources and cause us to lose customersincur substantial expense and impact and create volatility in our stock price.

The effects of public health crises, pandemics and similar events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, including responses and restrictions related thereto have had, and may continue to have, a significant impact on global economic and market conditions. Such effects could have adverse impacts on our clients, vendors and other third-parties with whom we do business. Additionally, our business operations may be disrupted if significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions or business.

Further, remote working and other modified business practices, if required, could pose additional operational risks, including resiliency, cybersecurity, and execution risks. Any failure to manage these additional risks effectively may result in inefficiencies or delays, and may affect our ability to, or the manner in which we, conduct our business activities. To the extent a public health crisis, pandemic or similar event adversely affects our business or the global economic conditions more generally, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this section entitled “Risk Factors” and any subsequent filings with the SEC.

Risks Related to our Acquisitions and Investments
Our growth strategy includes growing through acquisitions and investments which involve a number of risks.

We expect to grow our business by, among other things, making acquisitions. Over the past four years we have completed five significant acquisitions.acquisitions and investments. Acquisitions and investments involve a number of risks. They can be time‑consuming and may divert management’s attention from day‑to‑day operations. Financing an acquisition or investment could result in dilution from issuing equity securities or a weaker balance sheet from using cash or incurring debt. Acquisitions and investments might also result in losing key employees. In addition, we may fail to successfully integrate acquisitions.acquisitions and investments. We may also fail to generate enough revenuesrevenue or profits from an acquisition or investment to earn a return on the associated purchase price.

To the extent we grow our business through acquisitions and investments, any such future acquisitionsacquisition or investment could present a number of other risks, including:

·

incorrect assumptions regarding the future results of acquired operations or assets or expected cost reductions or other synergies expected to be realized as a result of acquiring operations or assets;

·

failure to integrate the operations or management of any acquired operations or assets successfully and on a timely and cost effective basis;

incorrect assumptions regarding the future results of acquired or invested in operations or assets or expected cost reductions or other synergies expected to be realized as a result of acquiring or investing in operations or assets;

·

insufficient knowledge of the operations and markets of acquired businesses;

failure to integrate the operations or management of any acquired or invested in operations or assets successfully and on a timely and cost effective basis;

·

loss of key personnel;

insufficient knowledge of the operations and markets of acquired or invested in businesses;

·

failure to obtain necessary customer consents or retain key customers;

loss of key personnel;

·

diversion of management’s attention from existing operations or other priorities;

failure to obtain necessary customer consents or retain key customers;

·

increased costs or liabilities as a result of historical, undetected or undisclosed legal, regulatory or financial issues related to acquired operations or assets; and

diversion of management’s attention from existing operations or other priorities;

·

inability to secure, on terms we find acceptable, sufficient financing that may be required for any such acquisition or investment.

increased costs or liabilities as a result of historical, undetected or undisclosed legal, regulatory or financial issues related to acquired or invested in operations or assets; and

inability to secure, on terms we find acceptable, sufficient financing that may be required for any such acquisition or investment.

In addition, if we are unsuccessful in completing acquisitions or investments of other businesses, operations or assets or if such opportunities for expansion do not arise, our results of operations, financial condition or business could be materially adversely affected.

Risks Related to our Information Technology and Data

Our failure to successfully execute the conversion of our clients’ assets from their technology platform to our platforms in a timely and accurate manner could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

When we begin working with a new client, or acquire new client assets through an acquisition or other transaction, we are often required to convert all or a significant portion of assets from the clients’ technology platform to our technology platforms. These conversions present significant technological and operational challenges that can be time‑consuming and may divert management’s attention from other operational activities. If we fail to successfully complete our conversions in a timely and accurate manner, we may be required to expend more time and resources than anticipated, which could erode the profitability of the client relationship. In addition, any such failure may harm our reputation and may make it less likely that prospective clients will commit to working with us. Any of these risks could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.

Our hosting, collection, use and storage of customer information and data require the implementation of effective security controls, and a cybersecurity breach could disrupt our business, will suffer ifresult in the disclosure of confidential information, expose us to liability and protracted and costly litigation, adversely affect our reputation and revenue and cause losses.
We, and our customers through which our solutions are made available to end users, collect, use, transmit and store confidential financial information, such as bank account numbers, social security numbers, non-public personally identifiable information, portfolio holdings, credit card data and outstanding debts and bills. The measures we take to provide security for collection, use, storage, processing and transmission of confidential end user information may not be effective to protect against cybersecurity breaches by third parties. We use commercially available security technologies, including hardware and software data encryption techniques and multi-layer network security measures, to protect transactions and information. Although we encrypt data fields that typically include sensitive, confidential information, other unencrypted data fields may include similar information that could be accessible in the event of a security breach. We use security and business controls to limit access and use of confidential end user information. The technologies and practices of our customers and third-party suppliers may not
29

meet our standards and we may not have the ability to effectively monitor the implementation of security measures of our customers and third-party suppliers. In a number of cases, our customers build and host their own web applications and access our solutions through our APIs. In these cases, additional risks reside in the customer’s system with respect to security and preventive controls. As a result, inadequacies of our customers’ and third-party suppliers’ security technologies and practices may only be detected after a security breach has occurred. Errors in the collection, use, storage or transmission of confidential end user information may result in a breach of privacy or theft of assets.
The risk of unauthorized circumvention of our security measures has been heightened by advances in computer capabilities and the increasing sophistication of hackers. Criminals are using increasingly sophisticated techniques to engage in illegal activities involving solutions such as ours or involving end user information, such as counterfeiting, fraudulent payment and identity theft. Because the techniques used by hackers change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventive measures. In addition to hackers, it is possible that a customer could gain unauthorized access to our database through the use of our solutions. Improper access to our systems or databases by hackers or customers intending to commit criminal activities could result in the theft, publication, deletion or modification of confidential end user information. An actual or perceived breach of our security may require notification under applicable cybersecurity regulations.
A cybersecurity breach of the systems on which sensitive user data and account information are stored could lead to private claims or regulatory actions, including fines, against us. Many of our agreements with clients do not keep up with rapid technologicallimit our potential liability for breaches of confidentiality, and consequential damages. If any person, including any of our employees, contractors, or consultants, penetrates our network security, misappropriates or mishandles sensitive data, inadvertently or otherwise, we could be involved in protracted and costly litigation. If unsuccessful in defending that litigation, we might be forced to pay damages and/or change evolving industry standardsour business practices or changing requirementspricing structure, any of clients.

We expect technological developments to continue atwhich could have a rapid pace in our industry. Our success will depend, in part,material adverse effect on our ability to:

·

continue to develop our technology expertise;

revenue and profitability. In addition, our customer contracts typically require us to meet specified minimum system security and privacy standards. If a cybersecurity breach occurs and we have not been in compliance with these standards, we could be liable for breach of contract claims brought by our customers.

·

recruit and retain skilled technology professionals;

·

enhance our current investment solutions and services;

·

develop new investment solutions and services that meet changing client needs;

·

implement changes to our investment solutions and services to meet changing regulatory requirements;

·

advertise and market our investment solutions and services;

·

protect our proprietary technology and intellectual property rights; and

·

influence and respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes.

We must accomplish these tasks incould also be required to indemnify our customers for third-party claims, fines, penalties and/or other assessments imposed on our customers as a timely and cost‑effective mannerresult of any cybersecurity breach and our failureliability could exceed our insurance coverage or ability to do sopay. Our registered investment adviser and broker-dealer subsidiaries may face SEC, FINRA and state enforcement actions, including monetary fines, if it is determined that we had inadequate cybersecurity measures in place to prevent such theft.

Our security procedures and technologies are regularly audited by independent security auditors engaged by us, and many of our prospective and current customers conduct their own audits or review the results of such independent security audits as part of their evaluation of our solutions. We are also periodically audited by regulatory agencies to which our operations or our customers are subject. Adverse findings in these audits or examinations, even if not accompanied by any cybersecurity breach, could materiallyadversely affect our ability to maintain our existing customer relationships and establish new customer relationships.
Cybersecurity breaches, acts of fraud involving our solutions, or adverse findings in security audits or examinations, could result in reputational damage to us, which could reduce the use and acceptance of our solutions, cause our customers to cease doing business with us and/or have a significant adverse impact on our revenue and future growth prospects. Further, any of these events could lead to additional regulation and oversight by federal and state agencies, which could impose new and costly compliance obligations and may lead to the loss of our ability to make our solutions available.
Risks Related to Laws and Regulations
Our operations are subject to extensive government regulation, and compliance failures or regulatory action against us could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.

The financial services industry is among the most extensively regulated industries in the United States. We must continueoperate investment advisory, broker‑dealer, and funds lines of business, each of which is subject to introduce newa specific and extensive regulatory scheme. In addition, we are subject to numerous laws and regulations of general application. It is very difficult to predict the future impact of the legislative and regulatory requirements affecting our business and our clients’ businesses.
Certain of our subsidiaries are registered as “investment advisers” with the SEC under the Advisers Act and are regulated thereunder. In addition, many of our investment advisory services are conducted pursuant to the non‑exclusive safe harbor from the definition of an “investment company” provided under Rule 3a‑4 under the Investment Company Act. If
30

Rule 3a‑4 were to cease to be available, or if the SEC were to modify the rule or its interpretation of how the rule is applied, our business could be adversely affected. Certain of our registered investment adviser subsidiaries provide advice to funds clients.Funds are registered as “investment companies” under the Investment Company Act. Our advisory subsidiaries provide advice on assets subject to the ERISA. The Advisers Act, Investment Company Act and ERISA, together with related regulations and interpretations of the SEC and the Department of Labor, impose numerous obligations and restrictions on investment advisers and funds, including requirements relating to the safekeeping of client funds and securities, limitations on advertising, disclosure and reporting obligations, prohibitions on fraudulent activities, restrictions on transactions between an adviser and its clients, and between a fund and its advisers and affiliates, and other detailed operating requirements, as well as general fiduciary obligations.
In addition, ESI and FIDx Markets are registered as broker‑dealers with the SEC, select state securities regulators and are members of FINRA, a securities industry self‑regulatory organization that supervises and regulates the conduct and activities of its members. Broker‑dealers are subject to regulations that cover all aspects of their business, including sales practices, market making and trading among broker‑dealers, use and safekeeping of customer funds and securities, capital structure, recordkeeping and the conduct of directors, officers, employees, representatives and associated persons. FINRA conducts periodic examinations of the operations of its members, including ESI and FIDx Markets. As broker‑dealers, ESI and FIDx Markets are also subject to certain minimum net capital requirements under SEC and FINRA rules. Compliance with the net capital rules may limit our ability to withdraw capital from these companies.

Envestnet Data & Analytics is examined on a periodic basis by various regulatory agencies. For example, it is a supervised third-party technology service provider subject to multi-agency supervisory examinations in a wide variety of areas based on published guidance by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council and other potential future regulatory agencies. These examinations include examinations of our management, acquisition and development activities, support and delivery, IT, and disaster preparedness and business recovery planning. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is the agency in charge of these examinations. If deficiencies are identified, customers may choose to terminate or reduce their relationships with us.
Either as a result of direct regulation or obligations under customer agreements, many of our subsidiaries are required to comply with certain provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, related to the privacy of consumer information and may be subject to other privacy and cybersecurity laws because of the solutions we provide. In addition, numerous regulations have been proposed and are still being written to implement the Dodd-Frank Act for enhanced due diligence of the internal systems and processes of companies like ours by their regulated customers. If we are required to make changes to our internal processes and solutions as result of this heightened scrutiny, we could be required to invest substantial additional time and funds and divert time and resources from other corporate purposes to remedy any identified deficiency.
All of the foregoing laws and regulations are complex, evolving, unclear and inconsistent across various jurisdictions and we are required to expend significant resources in order to maintain our monitoring of, and compliance with, such laws and regulations. We continually develop improvements to our existing products and services as well as new products and services. Many of these improvements or new products and services may implicate regulations to which we may not already be subject or with which we may not have experience. Any failure on our part to comply with these and other applicable laws and regulations could result in decreasing the demand for these products and services, increasing our potential liability or increase or costs, regulatory fines, suspensions of personnel or other sanctions, including revocation of our subsidiaries as an investment solutionadviser or broker‑dealer, as the case may be, which could, among other things, require changes to our business practices and service enhancements to addressscope of operations or harm our clients’ changing needs, market changes, regulations, and technological developments and failure to do soreputation. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

We regularly rely on exemptions from various requirements of the Exchange Act, the Advisers Act, the Investment Company Act and ERISA in conducting our activities. These exemptions are sometimes highly complex and may in certain circumstances depend on compliance by third parties whom we do not control. If for any reason these exemptions were to become unavailable to us, we could become subject to regulatory action or third‑party claims and our business could be materially and adversely affected.
Privacy laws and regulations, industry standards and contractual obligations, and changes in these laws, regulations, standards and obligations, can affect the way in which we do business and cause us to incur significant costs and failure to comply with these requirements could negatively affect our business.
As part of our business, we de-identify and then provide consumer transaction data panels to customers to support data analytics and market research. We collect the underlying transaction data when requested by each applicable consumer. In addition, we provide analytics on the use of investment strategies to third-party investment managers, exchange traded funds,
31

mutual funds and similar investment vehicles by financial professional users of our technology. These activities are subject to numerous laws, regulations, industry standards and contractual obligations. We have incurred, and will continue to incur, significant expenses to comply with these requirements. New laws have been passed by several jurisdictions regulating the use of personal data and setting requirements for the de-identification of data. Other jurisdictions are considering imposing additional requirements. As our business continues to expand to new industry segments that may be more highly regulated for privacy and cybersecurity, and to countries outside the United States that have more strict data protection laws, we may be subject to increased compliance requirements and costs which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business. Industry practices relating to this business activity may change. We are in the process of negotiating new agreements with certain financial institutions governing our access to consumer transaction data when requested by the consumer. These agreements may contain additional requirements relating to our processing and provision of de-identified data. Additionally, our data panel customers might demand that the data that they purchase meet additional data sourcing standards, which we may not satisfy in all cases in the future. Failure to comply with existing or new laws, regulations, standards and obligations could result in loss of rights to use source data for data panels, loss of data panel subscriptions, fines, sanctions or other penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

State or federal legislation, regulatory requirements, or regulatory enforcement applicable to this business activity may also change. Privacy groups, governmental agencies and individuals also may seek to restrict or prevent, or may advocate for greater regulation of, our provision of data panels to data panel customers. For example, in January 2020, three members of Congress wrote to the FTC to request a review of these business practices. In February 2020, we received a civil investigative demand from the FTC for documents and information relating to our data collection, assembly, evaluation, sharing, correction and deletion practices, with which demand we fully complied. In November 2020, we were informed by the FTC that it had closed the matter with no further action.
Our use of data panels is subject to the agreement of our business customers from which we obtain the underlying data or for which we source their underlying data. Although our arrangements with these customers generally permit us to use non-identified transaction level data, some customers decline to permit the use of this data. The marketinability to use data may limit the usefulness of our solutions and services which could adversely affect our business. For some of our solutions, we contractually require our customers to provide necessary notices and to obtain necessary permissions and waivers for use and disclosure of information through our solutions. A failure by our customers to comply with these contractual requirements could limit our use of the related data and therefore the usefulness of our solutions and services which could adversely affect our business. Furthermore, a failure by our customers to comply with these contractual requirements could subject us to claims or liability for unauthorized use or disclosure of information. These claims or liabilities could subject us to unexpected costs and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.
Our investment advisory services may subject us to liability for losses that result from potential, perceived or actual breaches of our fiduciary duties.
Our investment advisory services involve fiduciary obligations that require us to act in the best interests of our clients, and we may be sued and face liabilities for actual or claimed breaches of our fiduciary duties. Because we provide investment advisory services, both directly and indirectly, with respect to substantial assets we could face substantial liability if it is determined that we have breached our fiduciary duties. In certain circumstances, which generally depend on the types of investment solutions and services is characterized by shiftingwe are providing, we may enter into client demands, evolving market practices, newagreements jointly with advisors and evolving regulations,retain third‑party investment money managers on behalf of clients. As a result, we may be included as a defendant in lawsuits against financial advisors and third‑party investment money managers that involve claims of breaches of the duties of such persons, and we may face liabilities for somethe improper actions and/or omissions of such advisors and third‑party investment money managers. In addition, we may face claims based on the results of our investment advisory recommendations, even in the absence of a breach of our fiduciary duty. This risk may be heightened during periods when equity or other financial markets are declining in value or are particularly volatile, or when clients or investors with financial advisory clients are experiencing losses. Such claims and liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.

We may become subject to liability based on the use of our investment solutions and services rapid technological change. Changing client demands, new market rules and practices, or new technologies can render existingby our clients.
Our investment solutions and services obsoletesupport the investment processes of our clients, which, in the aggregate, manage billions of dollars of assets. Our client agreements have provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential liability claims brought by our clients or third parties based on the use of our investment solutions and unmarketable. Asservices. However, these provisions have certain exceptions and could be invalidated by unfavorable judicial decisions or by federal, state, foreign or local laws. Use of our products as part of the investment process creates the risk that clients, or the parties whose assets are managed by our clients, may pursue claims against us for very significant dollar amounts. Any such claim, even if the outcome were to be ultimately favorable to us, would involve a result,significant commitment of our future success will continue to depend uponmanagement, personnel, financial and other resources and could have a negative impact on our ability to develop newreputation. Such claims and lawsuits could therefore have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.
Furthermore, our clients may use our investment solutions and services and investment solution and service enhancements that addresstogether with software, data or products from other companies. As a result, when problems occur, it might be difficult to identify the future needssource of our target markets and respond to technological and market changes. We incurred technology development costs of approximately $40,800, $38,100 and $12,600 in the years ended December, 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We expect thatproblem. Even when our technology development costs will continue at this level or they may increase in the future. We may not be able to accurately estimate the impact of new investment solutions and services on our business or how their benefits will be perceived by our clients. Further, we maydo not be successful in developing, introducing, marketing and licensing our new investment solutions or services or investment solution or service

enhancements on a timely and cost effective basis, or at all, and our new investment solutions and services and enhancements may not adequately meetcause these problems, the requirements of the marketplace or achieve market acceptance. In addition, clients may delay purchases in anticipation of new investment solutions or services or enhancements. Anyexistence of these factorserrors might cause us to incur significant costs and divert the attention of our management and technical personnel, any of which could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.

If our investment solutions and services fail to perform properly due to undetected errors or similar problems, our results of operations, financial condition and business could be materially adversely affected.
Investment solutions and services we develop or license may contain undetected errors or defects despite testing. Such errors can exist at any point in the life cycle of our investment solutions or services, but are frequently found after introduction of new investment solutions and services or enhancements to existing investment solutions or services. We continually introduce new investment solutions and services and new versions of our investment solutions and services. Despite internal testing and testing by current and potential clients, our current and future investment solutions and services may contain serious defects or malfunctions. If we detect any errors before release, we might be required to delay the release of the investment solution or service for an extended period of time while we address the problem. We might not discover errors that affect our new or current investment solutions, services or enhancements until after they are a multinational organization faced with increasingly complex tax issues in several jurisdictions,deployed, and we could be obligatedmay need to pay additional taxes in various jurisdictions.

As a multinational organization, weprovide enhancements to correct such errors. Errors may be subject to taxation in several jurisdictions around the world with increasingly complex tax laws, the application of which can be uncertain. The amount of taxes we pay in these jurisdictions could increase substantially as a result of changes in the applicable tax principles, including increased tax rates, new tax laws or revised interpretations of existing tax laws and precedents, whichoccur that could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and operating results. In addition, the authorities in these jurisdictions could review our tax returns and impose additional tax, interest and penalties, and the authorities could claim that various withholding requirements apply to us or our subsidiaries or assert that benefits of tax treaties are not available to us or our subsidiaries, any of which could have a material impact on us and the results of our operations. For example, the taxing authorities of Indiaoperations, financial condition or business and other jurisdictions in which we operate may challenge our methodologies for allocating income and expense under our intercompany arrangements, including our transfer pricing, or determine that the manner in which we operate our business is not consistent with the manner in which we report our income to the jurisdictions. If such a disagreement were to occur, and our positions were not sustained, we could be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties, resulting in higher effective tax rates, reduced cash flows and higher expenses.

Changes in tax law could adversely affect an investment in our shares.

New U.S. federal tax law was recently enacted containing significant changes. The new law is complex and lacks developed administrative guidance; thus, the full impact to us or our stockholders is currently unclear. This new law or future tax law changes, administrative guidance or U.S. court decisions regarding tax law could have an adverse impact on us or our stockholders.

We face exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

We have costs denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Indian Rupee, and our revenue is primarily denominated in the U.S. dollar. This exposes us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates, and in particular a weakening of the U.S. dollar, would negatively affect our expenses and other operating results as expressed in U.S. dollars.

If we are unable to effectively manage certain risks and challenges related to our India operations, our business could be harmed.

Our India operations are a key factor to our success. We believe that our significant presence in India provides certain important advantages for our business, such as direct access to a large pool of skilled professionals and assistance in growing our business internationally. However, it also creates certain risks that we must effectively manage. As of December 31, 2017, approximately 2,200 of our total employees were based in India. Wage costs in India for skilled professionals are currently lower than in the United States for comparably skilled professionals. However, wages in India are increasing at a faster rate than in the United States, which could result in us incurring increased costs for technical professionalsharm to our reputation, lost sales, delays in commercial release, third‑party claims, regulatory actions, contractual disputes, contract terminations or renegotiations, or unexpected expenses and reduced margins. There is intense competition in India for skilled technical professionals,diversion of management and we expect such competitionother resources to increase. As a result, we may be unable to cost-effectively retain our current employee base in India or hire additional new talent.remedy errors. In addition, India has experienced significant inflation, low growth in gross domestic productnegative public perception and shortages of foreign exchange. India also has experienced civil unrestreputational damage caused by such claims would adversely affect our client relationships and terrorism and, in the past, has been involved in conflicts with neighboring countries. The occurrence of anyour ability to enter into new contracts. Any of these circumstances could result in disruptions to our India operations, which, if continued for an extended period of time,problems could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and business.

We could face liability for certain information we provide, including information based on data we obtain from other parties.
We may be subject to claims for securities law violations, negligence, breach of fiduciary duties or other claims relating to the information we provide. For example, individuals may take legal action against us if they rely on information we have provided and it contains an error. In addition, we could be subject to claims based upon the content that is accessible from our website through links to other websites. Moreover, we could face liability based on inaccurate information provided to us by others. Defending any such claims could be expensive and time‑consuming, and any such claim could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.
Our charter provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for certain legal actions between us and our stockholders, which could increase costs to bring a claim, discourage claims or limit the ability of our stockholders to bring a claim in a judicial forum viewed by the stockholders as more favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees.
Our charter provides that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for any (i) derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Although we believe this exclusive forum provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law for the specified types of actions and proceedings, this choice of forum provision may increase costs to bring a claim, discourage claims or limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other
33

employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us or our directors, officers and other employees. The exclusive forum provision in our charter will not preclude or contract the scope of exclusive federal or concurrent jurisdiction for actions brought under the federal securities laws including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

A deemed “change of control” of our company could require us to obtain the consent of our clients and a failure to do so properly could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.
Under the Advisers Act, the investment advisory agreements entered into by our investment adviser subsidiaries may not be assigned without the client’s consent. Under the Investment Company Act, advisory agreements with registered funds terminate automatically upon assignment and, any assignment of an advisory agreement must be approved by the board of directors and the shareholders of the registered fund. Under the Advisers Act and the Investment Company Act, such an assignment may be deemed to occur upon a change of control of the Company. A change of control includes either gaining or losing a “controlling person”. Whether someone is a controlling person for these purposes depends significantly on the specific facts and circumstances. There can be no assurance that if we undergo a change of control, we would be successful in obtaining all necessary consents or that the method by which we obtain such consents could not be challenged at a later time. If we are unable to effectively manage anyobtain all necessary consents or if such a challenge were to be successful it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.
Risks Related to our Common Stock
Holders of our common stock may be diluted by future issuances of common or preferred stock or convertible securities in connection with our incentive plans, acquisitions or otherwise; and future sales of such shares in the public market, or the expectations that such sales may occur, could lower our stock price.
Our charter authorizes us to issue shares of our common stock and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to our common stock for the consideration and on the terms and conditions established by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion. We could issue a significant number of shares of common stock, or securities convertible into shares of our common stock, in the future in connection with investments or acquisitions. Any of these issuances could dilute our existing stockholders, and such dilution could be significant. Moreover, such dilution could have a material adverse effect on the market price for the shares of our common stock.
The future issuance of shares of preferred stock with voting rights may adversely affect the voting power of the foregoing risks relatedholders of shares of our common stock, either by diluting the voting power of our common stock if the preferred stock votes together with the common stock as a single class, or by giving the holders of any such preferred stock the right to block an action on which they have a separate class vote, even if the action were approved by the holders of our shares of our common stock. The future issuance of shares of preferred stock with dividend or conversion rights, liquidation preferences or other economic terms favorable to the holders of preferred stock could adversely affect the market price for our common stock by making an investment in the common stock less attractive.
We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future and any share repurchases will be subject to our India operations,discretion; consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment may depend only on appreciation in the price of our development effortscommon stock.
We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Consequently, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any gains on their investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.
Additionally, in 2016, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to 2.0 million shares of our outstanding common stock. As of December 31, 2023, 0.3 million shares could still be impaired,purchased under this program. We retain the ability to repurchase when circumstances warrant and may suspend or discontinue such program at any time. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which was signed into law in August 2022, imposes a 1% excise tax on the fair market value of stock repurchases after December 31, 2022, which may impact our growth could be slowed, and our operating results could be negatively impacted.

As a global organization, our business is susceptible to risks associated with our international operations and sales.

We currently maintain international operations in India, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, lease space in other jurisdictions outside of the United States for the purpose of gathering data, and have customers located around the globe. Managing a global organization and conducting sales outside of the United States is difficult and time-consuming and introduces risks that we may not face with our operations and sales in the United States. These risks include:

·

the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign regulations, laws and legal standards, including privacy, data security, tax and employment, some of which may be materially different or  more stringent than those of the United States;

·

regional data privacy laws that apply to the transmission of data across international borders;

·

lack of familiarity with, and unexpected changes in, foreign regulatory requirements;

·

customers’ unfamiliarity with and concerns regarding laws and regulations of the United States that may impact our business operations in their jurisdictions;

·

negative, local perception of industries and customers that we may pursue;

·

laws and business practices favoring local competitors;

·

localization of our solutions, including unanticipated costs related to translation into foreign languages and adaptation for local practices and regulatory requirements;

·

different pricing environments and longer sales cycles;

·

longer accounts receivable payment cycles and difficulties in collecting accounts receivable;

·

difficulties in managing and staffing international operations;

·

reduced or varied protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;

·

compliance with laws and regulations for foreign operations, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act, import and export control laws, tariffs, trade barriers, economic sanctions and other regulatory or contractual limitations on our ability to sell our solutions in certain foreign markets, and the risks and costs of compliance;

·

fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

·

potentially adverse tax consequences, including the complexities of foreign value added tax systems, difficulty in interpreting international tax laws and restrictions on the repatriation of earnings;

·

increased financial accounting and reporting burdens and complexities; and

·

political, social and economic instability abroad, terrorist attacks and security concerns in general.

Operating in international markets also requires significant management attention and financial resources. A component of our growth strategy involves the further expansion of our operations and the development of new customer relationships internationally. As we seek to expand internationally, we will need to develop relationships with additional partners and add internal capabilities to effectively manage the operational, financial, legal and regulatory requirements and risks associated with our international operations. The investment we make and additional resources we use to expand our operations, target new international customers, expand our presence globally within our existing customers

37


and manage operational and sales growth in other countries may not produce desired levels of revenue or profitability, which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

Certain provisions in our charter documents and agreements and Delaware law may inhibit potential acquisition bids for our company and prevent changes in our management.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contains provisions that could depress the trading price of our common stock by acting to discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company or changes in management that our stockholders might deem advantageous. As a result of these provisions in our certificate of incorporation, the price investors may be willing to pay for shares of our common stock may be limited.

In addition, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which imposes certain restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of our common stock.

We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Consequently, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any gains on their investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.

The conditional conversion feature of our Convertible Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

In the event the conditional conversion feature of our $172,500 of outstanding Convertible Notes is triggered, holders of the Convertible Notes will be entitled to convert their Convertible Notes at any time during specified periods at their option. We may elect to satisfy our conversion obligation in cash, in shares of our common stock or in a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. If one or more holders elect to convert their Convertible Notes, unless we satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solely shares of our common stock (other than cash in lieu of any fractional share), we would be required to settle all or a portion of our conversion obligation through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. Furthermore, even if holders do not elect to convert their Convertible Notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the Convertible Notes as a current rather than long‑term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital.

We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle conversions of the Convertible Notes or purchase the Convertible Notes as required upon a fundamental change, and our existing debt contains, and our future debt may contain, limitations on our ability to pay cash upon conversion or purchase of the Convertible Notes.

Following a fundamental change, holders of Convertible Notes will have the right to require us to purchase their Convertible Notes for cash. A fundamental change may also constitute an event of default or prepayment under, and result in the acceleration of the maturity of, our then‑existing indebtedness. In addition, upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, unless we settle our conversion obligation solely in shares of our common stock (other than cash in lieu of any fractional share), we will be required to make cash payments in respect of the Convertible Notes being surrendered for conversion. We may not have sufficient financial resources, or will be able to arrange financing, to pay the fundamental change purchase price in cash with respect to any Convertible Notes surrendered by holders for purchase upon a fundamental change or make cash payments upon conversions. In addition, restrictions in our Credit Agreement or future credit facilities or other indebtedness, if any, may not allow us to purchase the Convertible Notes upon a fundamental change or make cash payments upon conversions of the Convertible Notes. Our failure to purchase the Convertible Notes upon a fundamental change or make cash payments upon conversions thereof when required would result in an event of default with respect to the Convertible Notes which could, in turn, constitute a default under the terms of our other indebtedness, if any. If the repayment of the related indebtedness were to be accelerated after any


38


applicable notice or grace periods, we may not have sufficient funds to repay the indebtedness and purchase the Convertible Notes or make cash payments upon conversions thereof.

Due to uncertainty in the application and interpretation of applicable state sales and use tax laws, we may be subject to additional tax liability.

We and our customers are subject to a variety of sales, use and other tax laws in the various states and cities in which we and they do business.  These laws and their interpretations change from time to time and often do not address with clarity their applicability to the types of products and services we and our subsidiaries provide.  Vendors, like us, are typically held responsible by taxing authorities for the collection and payment of any applicable sales and use taxes, even when owed by the end user.  If one or more taxing authorities determines that taxes should have, but have not, been paid with respect to our products or services, we might be liable for past taxes in addition to taxes going forward. Liability for past taxes might also include interest and penalty charges. We are often entitled to seek reimbursement from our customers for any sales and use taxes we pay either under the terms of our customer contracts or under applicable law or legal principles. Nevertheless, our customers might be reluctant to pay back taxes and might refuse responsibility for interest or penalties associated with those taxes. If we are required to collect and pay back taxes and any associated interest and penalties, and if our clients do not reimburse us for all or a portion of these amounts, we will incur unplanned expenses that may be substantial. Moreover, imposition of such taxes on us going forward will effectively increase the cost of our products and services to our customers and might adversely affect our ability to retain existing customers or to gain new customers in the areas in which such taxes are imposed.

During 2017 and 2016, the Company estimated that a sales and use tax liability of $8,522 and $10,108 was probable related to a number of taxing jurisdictions with respect to revenues in the respective years ended December 31, and prior years. For the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we recognized net sales and use tax expense of  $345 and $6,229, including interest of approximately $244 and $914, respectively. In addition, we determined an estimated sales tax receivable of $2,705 and $3,879 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, related to estimated recoverability of amounts due from customers. Additional future information obtained from the applicable jurisdictions or audits by one or more taxing authorities may affect our estimate of our sales and use tax liability. There can be no assurance that we will not be subject to sales and use taxes or related penalties for past sales in jurisdictions where we currently believe no such taxes are required.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

Risk Management and Strategy

Envestnet’s Information Security Program uses a risk-based approach to assess, identify and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats and is an integral part of our enterprise risk management program and processes. The Information Security Program is complemented by our business continuity and disaster recovery planning controls. Envestnet’s Group Head, Cybersecurity/Information Security Officer is a member of the firm’s Risk Management Committee.

We regularly update our enterprise-wide Information Security Program to align with industry best practices and applicable regulations. Envestnet’s Information Security Program includes a policy framework that leverages elements from National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Frameworks, NIST 800-53 Standards, ISO 27001, Cloud Security Alliance, and other relevant industry best practices to protect the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of our data and systems.

Directed by Envestnet’s Group Head, Cybersecurity/Information Security Officer, the Information Security team defines, implements and monitors our Information Security Program. We review and approve our security policies, procedures, and standards annually or whenever material updates are made during the year. Moreover, we undergo SOC 1 Type 2, SOC 2 Type 2, and PCI-DSS (where applicable) audits on multiple technology platforms.

In addition to our Information Security team, we use third-party vendors to help address material risks from cybersecurity threats. Among other things, third parties conduct security assessments, monitor endpoint security, probe our defenses, and conduct cybersecurity exercises. We also leverage third-party providers to aid management to detect, respond and recover in the event of a cyber incident.

To keep information security risks related to suppliers and other third parties within an acceptable range, Envestnet has a third-party oversight program. This program categorizes our third parties, assesses the potential impact of a compromise of Envestnet data and other resources in relation to the third-party’s engagement and manages the risk associated with third parties. This risk management includes understanding whether the third-party has required controls in place, whether it has vulnerabilities that need to be managed before beginning work with us and what residual risks will remain and require acceptance or further decision making.

Risks from Cybersecurity Threats

No risks from cybersecurity threats materially affected Envestnet’s business strategy, results of operations or financial condition during the year that ended December 31, 2023. Moreover, such risks do not appear to be reasonably likely to affect our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition.

Governance

Board of Directors’ Oversight of Risks from Cybersecurity Threats

Envestnet’s Board of Directors maintains regular oversight of risks from cybersecurity threats. In particular, its Compliance and Information Security Committee reviews, assesses, and makes recommendations to our Board about our regulatory compliance programs and information technology security framework, including cybersecurity threats. This includes receiving regular reports from the Information Security team on audits, security issues, changes in risk postures and regulatory matters. The Compliance and Information Security Committee also oversees selection of Envestnet’s independent security
35

assessors and reviews their reports. The Committee is authorized to request that any Envestnet director, officer, employee, outside counsel or independent auditor attend a meeting of the committee or meet with any of its members or advisors.

The majority of the directors who serve on the Compliance and Information Security Committee must be independent. The Committee meets quarterly and on an ad hoc basis.

Management’s Role in Assessing and Managing Material Risks from Cybersecurity Threats

Envestnet’s senior management assesses and manages material risks from cybersecurity threats through its Information Security Management Committee. The Information Security Management Committee provides direction, management, support and sponsorship associated with information security. Chaired by Envestnet’s Group Head, Cybersecurity/Information Security Officer, the Information Security Management Committee consists of Envestnet’s Executive and Senior management from Operations, Legal, Compliance, Systems, Business, Human Resources and Finance.

Our Group Head, Cybersecurity/Information Security Officer has a total of more than 28 years of experience in cybersecurity, technology and information technology roles with financial services, technology and consulting companies. She joined Envestnet in 2020.

The Information Security Management Committee's responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

Setting, reviewing and supporting the components of the Information Security Program;
Monitoring significant risk trends and proposing changes to controls and policies, as appropriate;
Ensuring that information security is resourced and prioritized;
Ensuring the proper execution of risk management activities;
Establishing and maintaining a culture that promotes information security;
Reviewing and evaluating the implementation and effectiveness of the Information Security Program through regular external and internal assessments;
Maintaining cybersecurity incident response preparedness;
Providing support for and visibility to information security initiatives; and
Coordinating with the Information Security team to provide regular reports to the Compliance and Information Security Committee of the Board of Directors about audits, security issues, changes in risk postures and regulatory matters, among other cybersecurity topics.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business.

See Part II, Item 8, “Note 24—Commitments and Contingencies” for Legal fees and other costs associated with such actions are expensed as incurred. The Company will record a provision for these claims when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss, or a range of the potential loss, can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed regularly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information or events pertaining to a particular case. Legal proceedings accruals are recorded when and if it is determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. For legal proceedings matters where a loss may be reasonably possible, but not probable, or is probable but not reasonably estimable, no accrual is established, but if the matter is material, it is subject to disclosures. The Company believes that liabilities associated with any claims, while possible, are not probable, and therefore has not recorded any accrual for any claims as of December 31, 2017.  Further, while any possible range of loss cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, the Company does not believe that the outcome of any of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, would, if determined adversely to it, have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or business, although an adverse resolution of legal proceedings could have a material adverse effect on Envestnet’s results of operations or cash flow in a particular quarter or year.

In 2016, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to 2.0 million shares of its common stock. The timing and volume of share repurchases will be determined by the Company’s management based on its ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, the market price of its common stock and general market conditions. No time limit has been set for the completion of the repurchase program, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The repurchase program authorizes the Company to purchase its common stock from time to time in the open market (including pursuant to a “Rule 10b5-1 plan”), in block transactions, in privately negotiated transactions, through accelerated stock repurchase programs, through option or other forward transactions or otherwise, all in compliance with applicable laws and other restrictions. No share repurchases were made during the three months ended December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, 0.3 million shares could still be purchased under this program.

Recent Developments

FolioDynamix

On January 2, 2018, pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of September 25, 2017, between

Envestnet, Inc., Folio Dynamics Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FolioDynamix”), FCD Merger Sub, Inc.,originally founded in 1999, serves clients from its headquarters in Berwyn, Pennsylvania, as well as other locations throughout the United States and India and other international locations.

Recent Developments

Leadership Update

On January 7, 2024, the Company entered into a Delaware corporationseparation and release agreement with Mr. Crager in which it was agreed that Mr. Crager will step down as chief executive officer on March 31, 2024 and as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors promptly following Envestnet’s 2024 Annual Meeting. Beginning April 2024, Mr. Crager will serve as a senior advisor, focusing on client and partner relationships. Beginning April 1, 2024, James Fox will begin serving as our Interim Chief Executive Officer until our Board of Directors has appointed a new chief executive officer. Mr. Fox has served as a member of our Board of Directors since February 2015 and Chair of the Board of Directors since March 2020.

Business Segments

On October 1, 2023, we changed the composition of our reportable segments to reflect the way that the Company's chief operating decision maker reviews the operating results, assesses performance and allocates resources. As a result, the advisor-focused Wealth Analytics business has been reclassified from the Envestnet Data & Analytics segment to the Envestnet Wealth Solutions segment. The segment change does not impact nonsegment results or the Company's consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows. All segment information presented within this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 is presented in conjunction with the current organizational structure, with prior periods adjusted accordingly.

Correction of Immaterial Error
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company identified that the arrangement with a third-party for the use of cloud hosted virtual servers which was previously accounted for as a finance lease transaction and included as a component of property and equipment, net in the consolidated balance sheets should have been recognized as a prepayment included within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company concluded that the classification of these transactions was immaterial in prior period financial statements and that amendment of previously filed reports was not required. However, the Company corrected this immaterial error in the prior years reported within this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Macroeconomic Environment

Our business is directly and indirectly affected by macroeconomic conditions and the state of global financial markets. Recent geopolitical uncertainty, resulting, in part, from the conflict in the Middle East which intensified on and after October 7, 2023, the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine which escalated in February 2022, as well as rising inflation, contributed to significant volatility and decline in global financial markets during 2022 which continued throughout most of 2023. The uncertainty over the extent and duration of the ongoing conflict and this period of inflation continues to cause disruptions to businesses and markets worldwide. The extent of the effect on our financial performance will continue to depend on future developments, including the extent and duration of the conflict and this period of inflation, the Federal Reserve's monetary policy in response to rising inflation, the extent of economic sanctions imposed, changes in market interest rates, further governmental and private sector responses and the timing and extent normal economic conditions resume, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. Although we are unable to estimate the overall financial effect of these conflicts and this period of inflation at this time, as these conditions continue, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. As of December 31, 2023, the consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments as a result of these macroeconomic conditions.

Convertible Promissory Note

On January 31, 2023, we entered into a Convertible Promissory Note with a customer of the Company's business, a privately held company, whereby we were issued a convertible promissory note with a principal amount of $20.0 million and a wholly owned subsidiarystated interest rate of Envestnet (“Merger Sub”),8.0% per annum. The Convertible Promissory Note has a maturity date of January 31, 2026 and Actua USA Corporation, a Delaware corporation, solely in its capacity as the representativeis convertible into common stock or preferred stock of the stockholdersprivately held company upon qualified financing events or corporate transactions. During the year ended December 31, 2023, interest income related to the Convertible Promissory Note included in interest income in the consolidated statements of FolioDynamix, Envestnet completed the merger of Merger Sub with and into FolioDynamix, with FolioDynamix continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Acquisition”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Envestnet. The completion of the Acquisition on January 2, 2018 followed the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and third party consents.

operations was $1.5 million.


In connection with the Acquisition, EnvestnetConvertible Promissory Note, we concurrently entered into a call option agreement with the privately held company, which provides us an option to acquire the privately held company at a predetermined price as of the earlier of July 2024 or upon satisfaction of certain financial metrics. The financial metrics were met during the year ended December 31, 2023; however, we did not exercise the call option.

Convertible Notes due 2023

The Convertible Notes due 2023 matured on June 1, 2023. Upon maturity, we settled the remaining aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes due 2023 for $45.0 million. The Convertible Notes due 2023 were paid $195,000 in cash for all the outstanding shares of FolioDynamix, subject to certain closing and post-closing adjustments.  Envestnet funded the Acquisition price withusing a combination of cash on the Company’s balance sheethand and with borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

FolioDynamix provides financial institutions, registered investment advisors, and other wealth management clients with an end-to-end technology solution pairedthe Company's Revolving Credit Facility. No shares of the Company's common stock were issued upon settlement of the Convertible Notes due 2023.


Reduction in Force Initiative

During the year ended December 31, 2023, as part of a reduction in force initiative, we entered into separation agreements with a suitenumber of advisory tools including model portfolios, research, and overlay management services.

In connection with this reduction in force initiative that began in the first quarter of FolioDynamix added complementary trading tools2023, as well as commission and brokerage supporta fourth quarter 2022 organizational realignment, we incurred approximately $35.4 million of total severance expense in the year ended December 31, 2023.

Operating Results


Beginning in the three months ended December 31, 2021 through December 31, 2023, the Company reported a loss from operations and loss before income tax provision in every quarter.We have incurred these quarterly losses as a result of several factors as described below.

Revenue Factors: Throughout 2022, the financial markets experienced a broad downturn and our redemption rates were higher than our historical average, and as a result, in our Wealth Solutions segment, our asset-based recurring revenue was materially adversely affected. Beginning in the three months ended March 31, 2023 asset-based recurring revenue has been increasing steadily.In addition, as a result of competitive pricing pressures in our Data & Analytics segment research business, beginning in the three months ended December 31, 2022 subscription-based recurring revenue has been materially adversely affected.

Expense Factors: We have incurred certain expenses that are not recurring in nature and that are a direct result of significant, distinct enterprise-wide strategic initiatives that we have taken in order to reshape and streamline the organization, which we believe will increase our operational efficiencies and to reduce future operating expenses, while negatively impacting our operating results in the short-term.These actions include both internal and external related expenses associated with an accelerated investment plan announced in the first quarter of 2021, expenses associated with office closures announced in the second quarter of 2022, severance and office closure related expenses associated with an organizational realignment and entry into an outsourcing arrangement announced in the fourth quarter of 2022, as well as severance expense for a reduction in force initiative announced in the first quarter of 2023 which has continued into the fourth quarter of 2023. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge to goodwill of $191.8 million. See below for further discussion of the goodwill impairment.

As discussed above, our business is directly and indirectly affected by macroeconomic conditions and the state of global financial markets.The return to positive income before income taxes largely depends on a combination of improved industry dynamics, including overall technology and data spending by financial institutions and an improvement in capital market valuations, including asset flows and redemption rates, both of which are outside of the Company’s control, as well as a reduction in future operating expenses, which the Company has undertaken as discussed above.

Goodwill Impairment

Due to lower revenue and profits in the Envestnet Data & Analytics segment in 2023 compared to prior years, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment evaluation as part of the annual goodwill impairment analysis for each reporting unit in the fourth quarter of 2023 utilizing a combination of the discounted cash flow method (income approach) and guideline public company method (market approach). As a result of this impairment test, the carrying value of the Envestnet Data & Analytics reporting unit exceeded its fair value, which resulted in the recognition of a non-cash impairment charge to goodwill of $191.8 million in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Revenue

Overview


We earn revenuesrevenue primarily under three pricing models. First, a majorityportion of our revenuesrevenue is derived from fees charged as a percentage of the assets that are managed or administered on our technology platforms by financial advisors. These revenues areThis revenue is recorded under revenues from AUM or AUA, or collectively AUM/A.asset-based revenue. Our asset‑based fees vary based on the types of investment solutions and services that financial advisors utilize. Asset‑based fees accounted for approximately 60%, 61% and 79% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In future periods, the percentage of our total revenuesrevenue attributable to asset‑based fees is expected to vary based on fluctuations in securities markets, whether we enter into new, or lose, significant subscription agreements, the mix of AUM or AUA, and other factors.



43

We also generate revenuesrevenue from recurring, contractual subscription fees for providing access to our technology platforms. This subscription revenue includes both contractual minimum payments and usage-based fees and is driven primarily by the number of customers, including new customers as well as customers who renew their existing subscription contracts, and the number of paid users. These revenues areend-users. This revenue is recorded under revenues from subscription and licensing fees.subscription-based revenue. Subscription and licensing fees vary based on the scope of technology solutions and services being used, and are priced in a variety of constructs based on the size of the business, number of users or number of accounts and in many cases can increase over time based on the growth of these factors. Subscription and licensing fees accounted for 36%, 34% and 18%

Finally, a portion of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Asset-based recurring revenue

Revenues from assets under management or administration

We generally charge our customers fees based on a higher percentage of the market value of AUM than the fees we charge on the market value of AUA, because we provide fiduciary oversight and/or act as the investment advisor in connection with assets we categorize as AUM. The level of fees varies based on the nature of the investment solutions and services we provide, as well as the specific investment manager, fund and/or custodian chosen by the financial advisor. A portion of our revenuesrevenue from assets under management or administration includeincludes costs paid by us to third parties for sub‑advisory, clearing, custody and brokerage services. These expenses are recorded under cost of revenues.direct expense. We do not have fiduciary responsibility in connection with AUA and, therefore, generally charge lower fees on these assets. Our fees for AUA vary based on the nature of the investment solutions and services we provide.

For over 90%


Approximately 75% of our revenuesasset-based recurring revenue from assets under management or administration, we billAUM/A are billed to customers at the beginning of each quarter and are based on the market value of customertheir assets on our platforms as of the end of the prior quarter. For example, revenues from assets under management or administrationasset-based recurring revenue recognized during the fourth quarter of 2017 were2023 was primarily based on the market value of assets as of September 30, 2017.2023. Our revenues from assets under management or administration areasset-based recurring revenue is generally recognized ratably throughout the quarter based on the number of days in the quarter.


Our revenues from assets under management or administration areasset-based recurring revenue is affected by the amount of new assets that are added to existing and new client accounts, which we refer to as gross sales. Gross sales, from time to time, also include conversions of client assets to our technology platforms. The amounts of assets that are withdrawn from client accounts are referred to as redemptions. We refer to the difference between gross sales and redemptions as net flows. Positive net flows indicate that the market value of assets added to client accounts exceeds the market value of assets that have been withdrawn from client accounts.


Our revenues from assets under management or administration areasset-based revenue is also affected by changes in the market values of securities held in client accounts due to fluctuations in the securities markets. Certain types of securities have historically experienced greater market price fluctuations, such as equity securities, than other securities, such as fixed income securities, though in any given period the type of securities that experience the greatest fluctuations may vary.

Revenues from subscription and licensing fees

Our revenues received under license agreements are recognized over the contractual term. Subscription


Subscription-based recurring revenue

Subscription-based recurring revenue is generally recognized ratably over the contracted term of each respective subscription agreement, commencing on the date the service is provisioned to the customer, provided all applicable revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. As part of the subscription contracts, many of our open banking customers generally commit to a minimum level of paid usersend-users from which a minimum level of non-refundable subscription revenue is derived. As paid usersend-users in excess of the guaranteed minimum level access the Envestnet | Yodlee platform, the customer is then required to pay additional usage fees calculated based upon a contracted per-paid-user fee. No refunds or credits are given if fewer paid usersend-users access the Envestnet | Yodlee platform than the contracted minimum level. Usage-based revenue is recognized as earned, provided all applicable revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied.

Revenues from professional Our subscription-based revenue is affected by the addition, loss and timing of customer contracts as well as access to data in the research business.

Asset-based recurring revenue

Asset-based recurring revenue increased $7.0 million, or 1%, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to an increase in asset values applicable to our quarterly billing cycles, which are capitalized in connection with our acquisitions.

Furniture and equipment are depreciated using the straight‑line method based on the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight‑line method over their estimated economic useful lives or the remaining lease term, whichever is shorter. Improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance costs are recorded as expenses in the period they are incurred. Assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carryingmarket value of the assets may not be recoverable.

Internally developed software is amortized on a straight‑line basis over its estimated useful life. We evaluate the useful lives of thesecustomers' assets on our platforms as of the end of the previous quarter.


The number of financial advisors with asset-based recurring revenue on our technology platforms increased from approximately 38,000 as of December 31, 2022 to approximately 39,000 as of December 31, 2023 and the number of AUM/A client accounts increased from approximately 2.7 million as of December 31, 2022 to approximately 2.9 million as of December 31, 2023.

Professional services and other revenue

Professional services and other revenue increased $11.9 million, or 50%, for impairment whenever eventsthe year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to timing of the completion of customer projects and deployments and an increase in revenue recognized in the Data & Analytics segment as a result of point in time revenue recognized on customer deployments.

Intangible assets are depreciated using$1.8 million, which directly correlates with the decrease to subscription-based recurring revenue during the period.


Employee compensation

Employee compensation decreased $45.9 million, or 9%, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to decreases in salaries, benefits and related payroll taxes of $38.8 million, which is primarily a result of the outsourcing arrangement with TCS in the Envestnet Data & Analytics segment, which shifted certain expenses from employee compensation to general and administrative expense, a reduction in force initiative in 2023 and an acceleratedorganizational realignment in the fourth quarter of 2022, a decrease in non-cash compensation expense of $9.3 million and other immaterial decreases within employee compensation, partially offset by an increase in severance expense of $5.3 million as a result of the reduction in force initiative and organizational realignment.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses decreased $8.7 million, or straight‑line basis over their estimated economic useful lives4%, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to decreases in restructuring charges and are reviewedtransaction costs of $22.1 million, marketing costs of $7.3 million, occupancy costs of $4.6 million, communications, research and data services of $3.4 million and other immaterial decreases within general and administrative expense, partially offset by increases in software and maintenance charges of $31.4 million which is primarily a result of the outsourcing arrangement with TCS.

Total other income (expense), net

Total other income (expense), net increased $16.1 million, or 130% for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to a $9.0 million decrease in dilution gain on equity method investee share issuance, an $8.3 million increase in interest expense and a $1.7 million increase in loss allocations from equity method investments. These increases were partially offset by an increase of $2.1 million in interest income, a $1.0 million decrease in foreign currency expense and a $0.4 million increase in fair market value adjustment on investment in private company.

Asset-based recurring revenue

Asset-based recurring revenue increased $28.9 million, or 4%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to an increase in asset values applicable to our quarterly billing cycles, which are based on the market value of the customers' assets on our platforms at the end of the previous quarter, partially offset by existing customers switching from an asset-based pricing model to a subscription-based pricing model.

The number of financial advisors with asset-based recurring revenue on our technology platforms decreased from approximately 40,000 as of December 31, 2021 to approximately 38,000 as of December 31, 2022 and the number of AUM/A client accounts increased from approximately 2.6 million as of December 31, 2021 to approximately 2.7 million as of December 31, 2022.

50

Subscription-based recurring revenue

Subscription-based recurring revenue increased $23.9 million, or 5%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to an increase of $30.1 million in the Envestnet Wealth Solutions segment, which can be attributed to new and existing customer growth along with additional revenue from existing customers switching from an asset-based pricing model to a subscription-based pricing model, partially offset by a decrease of $6.3 million in the Envestnet Data & Analytics segment, which is primarily attributable to the equity market decline impacting our asset management customers in the research business.

Professional services and other revenue

Professional services and other revenue increased $0.6 million, or 2%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to an increase in revenue resulting from the 2022 Advisor Summit, which was held as an in-person event. The 2021 Advisor Summit was virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Direct expense

Direct expense increased $46.7 million, or 11%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to an increase in asset-based direct expense of $36.6 million, which directly correlates with the increase to asset-based recurring revenue during the period, an increase in professional services and other direct expense of $6.9 million, primarily as a result of our 2022 Advisor Summit, which was held in-person, and an increase in subscription-based direct expense of $3.1 million, which directly correlates with the increase in subscription-based recurring revenue during the period.

Employee compensation

Employee compensation increased $57.9 million, or 13%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to increases in salaries, benefits and related payroll taxes of $40.5 million, non-cash compensation expense of $12.3 million and other miscellaneous increases within employee compensation of $3.6 million, primarily due to increased headcount as a result of growth and acquisitions in the Envestnet Wealth Solutions segment. Also contributing to this increase was an increase in severance expense of $18.8 million, primarily a result of the outsourcing arrangement with TCS in the Envestnet Data & Analytics segment and an organizational realignment in the fourth quarter of 2022. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in incentive compensation expense of $20.5 million primarily due to lower revenue and profitability measures achieved in our incentive compensation program.

As a percentage of total revenue, employee compensation increased 4% points for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to higher employee compensation related to increased headcount in the Envestnet Wealth Solutions segment and higher severance expense primarily a result of the outsourcing arrangement with TCS and an organizational realignment in the fourth quarter of 2022.

General and administrative

General and administrative expenses increased $47.2 million, or 27%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to increases in lease restructuring and transaction costs of $16.6 million driven by the closure of four offices, software and maintenance charges of $16.6 million, travel and entertainment expenses of $5.6 million, communications, research and data services of $3.5 million, insurance, bank and payroll expenses of $2.0 million and other miscellaneous increases within general and administrative expense of $2.5 million. These increases were partially offset by decreases in total occupancy costs of $4.6 million and professional and legal fees of $4.3 million.

As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expense increased 4% points for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to an increase in lease restructuring and other related costs.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $8.1 million, or 7%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to increases in amortization related to internally developed software of $8.4 million and intangible assets of $3.3 million, partially offset by a decrease in deprecation related to fixed assets of $3.7 million.
51


Total other income (expense), net

Total other income (expense), net decreased $7.8 million, or 39% for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to a $9.5 million increase in dilution gain on equity method investee share issuance and a $3.4 million increase in interest income, partially offset by a $1.8 million increase in loss allocations from equity method investments and a $1.4 million increase in foreign currency expense.

Segment Results

Envestnet is organized around two business segments based on clients served and products provided to meet those needs. Financial information about each business segment is contained in Part II, Item 8, “Note 23—Segment Information” to the consolidated financial statements included within this Annual Report. Our business segments are as follows:

Envestnet Wealth Solutions – a leading provider of comprehensive and unified wealth management software, services and solutions to empower financial advisors and institutions to enable them to deliver holistic advice to their clients.

Envestnet Data & Analytics – a leading provider of financial data aggregation, analytics and digital experiences to meet the needs of financial institutions, enterprise FinTech firms and market investment research firms worldwide.

We also incur expenses not directly attributable to the segments listed above. These nonsegment operating expenses primarily consist of employee compensation for certain corporate officers, certain types of professional service expenses, insurance, acquisition related transaction costs, certain restructuring charges and other non-recurring and/or non-operationally related expenses.

On October 1, 2023, the Company changed the composition of its reportable segments to reflect the way that the Company's chief operating decision maker reviews the operating results, assesses performance and allocates resources. As a result, the advisor-focused Wealth Analytics business has been reclassified from the Envestnet Data & Analytics segment to the Envestnet Wealth Solutions segment. The segment change does not impact nonsegment results or the Company's consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows. All segment information presented within this Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 is presented in conjunction with the current organizational structure, with prior periods adjusted accordingly.

General and administrative expenses increased $6.5 million, or 18%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to increases in restructuring and transaction costs of $2.8 million, research and data services expense of $2.4 million, travel and entertainment expense of $1.8 million and software and maintenance charges of $1.7 million, partially offset by other immaterial decreases within general and administrative expense.

As a percentage of segment revenue, general and administrative expense increased 4% points for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to an overall increase in general and administrative expense as well as a decrease in segment revenue.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased $0.5 million, or 2%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to an increase in amortization related to internally developed software of $3.8 million, partially offset by decreases in deprecation related to fixed assets of $2.2 million and amortization related to intangible assets of $1.1 million.

Non‑GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting results according to GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures to enhance the understanding of our operating performance. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful supplemental metrics that provide greater transparency into our results of operations and can assist both management and investors in understanding and assessing the operational performance of our business on a consistent basis, as it removes the impact of non-cash or non-recurring items from operating results and provides an additional tool to compare our results with other companies in the industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures.Those measures include “adjusted revenue,” “adjusted EBITDA,” “adjusted net income” and “adjusted net income per diluted share."

“Adjusted revenue” excludes the effect of purchase accounting on the fair value of acquired deferred revenue. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2021-08 whereby it now accounts for contract assets and contract liabilities obtained upon a business combination in accordance with ASC 606. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2021-08, we recorded at fair value the acquired deferred revenue for contracts in effect at the time the entities were acquired. Consequently, revenue related to acquired entities for periods subsequent to the acquisition did not reflect the full amount of revenue that would have been recorded by these entities had they remained stand‑alone entities. Adjusted revenue has limitations as a financial measure, should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for revenue prepared in accordance with GAAP.

“Adjusted EBITDA” represents net income (loss) before deferred revenue fair value adjustment, interest income, interest expense, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization, goodwill impairment, non‑cash compensation expense, restructuring charges and transaction costs, severance expense, accretion on contingent consideration and purchase liability, fair market value adjustment to contingent consideration liability, fair market value adjustment on investment in private company, litigation, regulatory and other governance related expenses, foreign currency, gain on settlement of liability, gain on insurance reimbursement, non-income tax expense adjustment, dilution gain on equity method investee share issuance, loss allocations from equity method investments and (income) loss attributable to non‑controlling interest.

“Adjusted net income” represents net income (loss) before income tax provision (benefit), deferred revenue fair value adjustment, non‑cash interest expense, cash interest on our Convertible Notes, goodwill impairment, non‑cash compensation expense, restructuring charges and transaction costs, severance expense, amortization of acquired intangibles, accretion on contingent consideration and purchase liability, fair market value adjustment to contingent consideration liability, fair market value adjustment to investment in private company, litigation, regulatory and other governance related expenses, foreign currency, gain on settlement of liability, gain on insurance reimbursement, non-income tax expense adjustment, dilution gain on equity method investee share issuance, loss allocations from equity method investments and (income) loss attributable to non‑controlling interest. Reconciling items are presented gross of tax, and a normalized tax rate is applied to the total of all reconciling items to arrive at adjusted net income. The discount,normalized tax rate is based solely on the estimated blended statutory income tax rates in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We monitor the normalized tax rate based on events or trends that could materially impact the rate, including tax legislation changes and changes in the geographic mix of our operations.

“Adjusted net income per diluted share” represents adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders divided by the diluted number of weighted-average shares outstanding. For purposes of the adjusted net income per share calculation, we assume all potential shares to be issued in connection with our Convertible Notes are dilutive.

Our Board and management use these non-GAAP financial measures:
As measures of operating performance;
For planning purposes, including the preparation of annual budgets;
To allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business;
To evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies; and
In communications with our Board concerning our financial performance.

Our Compensation Committee, Board and our management may also consider adjusted EBITDA, among other factors, when determining management’s incentive compensation.

We also present adjusted revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share as supplemental performance measures because we believe that they provide our Board, management and investors with additional information to assess our performance. Adjusted revenue provide comparisons from period to period by excluding the effect of purchase accounting on the fair value of acquired deferred revenue. Adjusted EBITDA provides comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences caused by changes in interest expense and interest income that are influenced by capital structure decisions and capital market conditions, income tax provision (benefit), variations in the age and book depreciation of fixed assets affecting relative depreciation expense and amortization of internally developed software,
61

amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring charges and transaction costs, severance expense, accretion on contingent consideration and purchase liability, fair market value adjustment to contingent consideration liability, fair market value adjustment to investment in private company, litigation, regulatory and other governance related expenses, foreign currency, gain on settlement of liability, gain on insurance reimbursement, non-income tax expense adjustment, dilution gain on equity method investee share issuance, loss allocations from equity method investments, and (income) loss attributable to non‑controlling interest. Our management also believes it is useful to exclude non‑cash compensation expense from adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income because non‑cash equity grants made at a certain price and point in time do not necessarily reflect how our business is performing at any particular time.

We believe adjusted revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because securities analysts use adjusted revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share as supplemental measures to evaluate the overall performance of companies, and we anticipate that our investors and analyst presentations will include adjusted revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share.

Adjusted revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to revenue, net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our profitability or liquidity.

We understand that, although adjusted revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are frequently used by securities analysts and others in their evaluation of companies, these measures have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In particular you should consider:
Adjusted revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

Adjusted revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

Adjusted revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share do not reflect non‑cash components of employee compensation;

Although depreciation and amortization are non‑cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized often will have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

Due to either net losses before income tax expense or the use of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, we paid net cash of $15.9 million, $12.1 million, and $7.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In the event that we generate taxable income and our existing net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income taxes have been fully utilized or have expired, income tax payments will be higher; and

Other companies in our industry may calculate adjusted revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

Management compensates for the inherent limitations associated with using adjusted revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share through disclosure of such limitations, presentation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP and reconciliation of adjusted revenue to revenue, the most directly comparable GAAP measure and adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share to net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share, the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Further, our management also reviews GAAP measures and evaluates individual measures that are not included in some or all of our non‑GAAP financial measures, such as our level of capital expenditures and interest income, among other measures.

The following tables set forth reconciliations of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures. See "Footnotes to GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations" below for further detail on adjustments.

Footnotes to GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations

(1)Deferred revenue fair value adjustment represents the effect of purchase accounting on the fair value of acquired deferred revenue in accordance with ASC 606.
(2)For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the effective tax rate computed in accordance with GAAP equaled (5.5)%, (9.0)% and 37.7%, respectively.
(3)As of December 31, 2023, we had net operating loss carryforwards, before any uncertain tax position reserves, of approximately $64 million and $225 million for federal and state income tax purposes, respectively, available to reduce future income subject to income taxes. As a result, the amount of actual cash taxes we pay for federal, state and foreign income taxes differs significantly from both the amount calculated in accordance with GAAP using the effective income tax rate and from the income tax effect amount calculated using the normalized effective tax rate.
(4)Goodwill impairment represents the recognition of a non-cash impairment charge to goodwill in the Envestnet Data & Analytics reporting unit. These charges are infrequent and outside the ordinary course of our continuing operations. We exclude these charges to facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.
(5)Non-cash compensation expense represents expense related to stock-based awards made to employees and directors. We exclude stock-based compensation because the Company does not view it as reflective of our core operating performance as it is a non-cash expense.
(6)Restructuring charges and transaction costs represent third-party costs incurred related to significant, distinct enterprise-wide strategic initiatives such as the closure of certain offices in the United States, acquisition and upfronttransaction related expenditures and system integration costs related to implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning System. These third-party costs are infrequent and outside the ordinary course of our continuing operations. We exclude these costs to facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.
(7)Severance expense represents severance and related costs associated with certain strategic initiatives that have reshaped our workforce such as an organizational realignment in the fourth quarter of 2022, post-acquisition integration activity and a reduction in force initiative in 2023. These are not reflective of future ongoing operations and affect comparability of the Company’s operational results across reporting periods.
(8)Litigation, regulatory and other governance related expenses represent certain third-party non-recurring litigation fees primarily related to litigation matters discussed in Note 24—Commitments and Contingencies as well as governance related expenses associated with activist shareholder activity. The litigation costs relate to two matters over a three-year time period and are not reoccurring expenditures.
(9)Foreign currency represents gains and losses from foreign currency denominated transactions and the remeasurement of foreign currency denominated balance sheet accounts. These adjustments can vary significantly from period to period and are not indicative of our core operating performance.
(10)Non-income tax expense adjustments relate to the remediation of historical sales and use tax issues and are not indicative of our core operating performance.
(11)Accretion on contingent consideration and purchase liability represents accretion related to the Company's contingent consideration. These adjustments are non-cash and are not indicative of our core operating performance.
(12)Fair market value adjustment to contingent consideration liability represents non-recurring gains and losses related to the Company's contingent consideration. These adjustments are infrequent and outside the ordinary course of our continuing operations.
(13)Fair market value adjustment to investment in private company represents non-recurring unrealized gains and losses related to the Company’s investments. These adjustments are infrequent and outside the ordinary course of our continuing operations.
(14)Gain on settlement of liability represents the gain related to the settlement of a contingent liability. These adjustments are infrequent and outside the ordinary course of our continuing operations.
(15)Gain on insurance reimbursement represents the gain related to an insurance reimbursement. These adjustments are infrequent and outside the ordinary course of our continuing operations.
(16)Dilution gain on equity method investee share issuance represents gains and losses related to the Company’s equity method share issuances. These dilution gains are infrequent and can vary significantly from period to period and are outside the ordinary course of our continuing operations.
(17)Loss allocations from equity method investments represents gains and losses from our various equity method investments. These investments are not part of our core business and the ventures associated with these investments generally are start-up or early-stage businesses where we have limited influence over their operational and financial policies. The results of operations for each of these investments can vary significantly from period to period and do not represent the Company’s ongoing operations.
67

(18)(Income) loss attributable to non-controlling interest represents the loss attributable to the Company’s minority economic interest in a private company excluding the impact of non-cash or non-recurring items included within other line items. Although the Company consolidates its minority interest in a private company as a result of its ability to control this private company interest through majority representation on the board, the Company has excluded loss attributable to non-controlling interest as it owns a minority economic interest in the private company. This private company is a start-up business and the results of its operations vary significantly from period to period and are not representative of the Company’s financial performance.
(19)Non-cash interest expense represents third-party costs incurred in securing debt and are amortized over the term of the debt. We exclude non-cash interest expense because the Company does not view this expense as reflective of our core operating performance as it is a non-cash expense.
(20)For purposes of computing adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share, the Company always assumes the convertible notes to be fully converted for all periods presented. Therefore, cash interest for convertible notes is added to adjusted net income in accordance with the if-converted method.
(21)Amortization of acquired intangibles represents non-cash amortization expense from intangible assets acquired through acquisitions. The fair value of these acquired intangible assets are estimates and the Company does not view it as reflective of our core operating performance as it is a non-cash expense.
(22)Income tax effect represents the tax effect of Non-GAAP adjustments as described above and is calculated using an estimated normalized tax rate of25.5% has been used to compute adjusted net income for all years presented.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity include cash provided by operating activities, including fluctuations in working capital, and access to external capital. Our working capital is affected by the timing of payments related agreements.

to fees receivable, investment manager fees, employee compensation, income tax, our annual Advisor Summit and various other items. Historically the first quarter of the year is our lowest quarter of cash provided by operating activities primarily due to the payment of annual bonuses during the first quarter of the year following the year they were incurred and prepayments made during the first quarter of the year associated with our Advisor Summit which is held during the second quarter of the year.

48



We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash generated in the ongoing operations of our businesswill be sufficient to fund our current operations, including capital expenditure needs and debt service obligations, over the next twelve months and beyond. If the cash generated in the ongoing operations of our business is insufficient to fund these requirements, we may be required to borrow under our Revolving Credit Facility or incur additional debt to fund our ongoing operations or to fund potential acquisitions or other strategic activities.

We will continue to actively manage our cash balances by making decisions regarding the amounts, timing and manner in which cash is generated and used in order to ensure we are able to meet our cash, capital and liquidity requirements and maintain operations for both the short and long term.

As of December 31, 2023, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $91.4 million, no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $500.0 million available to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to covenant compliance.

Revolving Credit Facility

In February 2022, we entered into the Revolving Credit Facility, which provides for a $500.0 million revolving line of credit, including a sub-facility for a $20.0 million letter of credit, and is set to mature in February 2027. Outstanding loans under the Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either (i) a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.75% per annum or (ii) an adjusted Term SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.75% per annum, in each case based upon our total net leverage ratio, as calculated pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility. The undrawn portion of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee at a rate ranging from 0.25% to 0.30% per annum based upon our total net leverage ratio, as calculated pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary conditions, representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, mandatory prepayment provisions and events of default. The covenants include certain financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain compliance with a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $56.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to a an increase of $33.5 million in cash provided due to timing of payments within our working capital accounts and an increase of $23.0 million in cash provided by our business operations.

Commitments

We enter into unconditional purchase obligations arrangements for certain of our services that we receive in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2023, the Company estimated future minimum unconditional purchase obligations of approximately $150 million.

As of December 31, 2023, we had $876.6 million in outstanding debt. For further details of our debt and the timing of expected future payments see Part II, Item 8, “Note 14—Debt.”

As of December 31, 2023, future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable leases were $140.0 million. These leases expire at various dates prior to 2033. See Part II, Item 8, "Note 15—Leases” for further details.

In connection with the Redi2 acquisition, we have entered into arrangements whereby we have agreed to pay up to $20.0 million in performance bonuses based upon the achievement of certain performance targets. As of December 31, 2023, the liabilities associated with these performance bonuses were immaterial.

We have also committed $8.8 million in future funding to certain of our equity method investees.

We include various types of indemnification and guarantee clauses in certain arrangements. These indemnifications and guarantees may include, but are not limited to, infringement claims related to intellectual property, direct or expense items as appropriate.

consequential damages and guarantees to certain service providers and service level requirements with certain customers. The type and amount of any potential indemnification or guarantee varies substantially based on the nature of each arrangement. We have experienced no previous claims and cannot determine the maximum amount of potential future payments, if any, related to these indemnification and guarantee provisions. We believe that it is unlikely that we will have to make material payments under these arrangements and therefore we have not recorded a contingent liability in the consolidated balance sheets.


Critical Accounting Policies

and Estimates


Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or (“U.S. GAAP”).GAAP. The accounting policies described below require management to apply significant judgment in connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. In particular, judgment is applied to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in calculating estimates that affect certain reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. If different estimates or assumptions were used, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could have been materially different than those reflected in our consolidated financial statements. For additional information regarding our critical accounting policies, see Part II, Item 8, “Note 2 - 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is derived from asset-based and subscription-based services and professional services and other sources. Revenue is recognized when control of these services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those services. All revenue recognized in the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8.

Revenue recognition

We recognize revenues when all four of the following criteria have been met:

·

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

operations is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers. Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenue.

·

The product has been delivered or the service has been performed;

Collectability is reasonably assured.

Types of revenues

We generate revenues from assets under management or administration and are made available to customers throughout the contractual term from licensing, subscriptions and professional service fees.

Revenues fromthe date the customized platform is launched. 


The asset-based fees we earn are generally based upon variable percentages of assets under managementmanaged or administration are generated from feesadministered on our platforms. The fee percentage varies based on a contractual percentage of assets under management or administration valued at each quarter‑end. These fees are generally collected at the beginning of a quarter in advance based upon the previous quarter‑end values. In less than 10% of our assets under management or administration contracts, fees are collected at the end of the quarter based upon the average daily balance. The contractual fee percentages vary based upon the level and type of services we provide to our customers. Pursuantcustomers, as well as the values of existing customer accounts. The values of the customer accounts are affected by inflows or outflows of customer funds and market fluctuations.

The platform services are substantially the same over each quarter and performed in a similar manner over the contract period, and are considered stand-ready promises. The platform services that are delivered to the contracts withcustomer over the quarter are considered distinct, as the customer benefits distinctly from each increment of our customers, we calculate ourservices and each quarter is separately identified in the contract, and are considered to be a single performance obligation under ASC 606.

The pricing generally resets each quarter and the pricing structure is consistent throughout the term of the contract. The variable fees are generally calculated and billed quarterly in advance based on preceding quarter-end values and the asset values, without making any judgment or estimates. None of our fees isvariable amounts earned pursuantfrom the platform services relate specifically to performance‑based or other incentive‑based arrangements.

Subscriptionthe benefits transferred to the customer during that quarter. Accordingly, revenue is primarily derived from customers accessingallocated to the Envestnet | Yodlee platform or the Envestnet | Tamarac platformspecific quarter in which services are performed.


The asset-based contracts generally contain one performance obligation and include subscription, support, and usage-based fees. Subscription revenue is recognized ratablyon a ratable basis over the contracted term of each respective subscription agreement, commencingquarter beginning on the date that the service is provisionedplatform services are made available to the customer providedas the four revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. Usage-based revenues are recognized as earned, providedcustomer simultaneously consumes and receives the four revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied.

We generate revenues from licensing fees pursuant to recurring contractual fixed‑fee agreements. Our licensing fees vary based on the type of services we provide.

We also generate revenues from professional service fees by providing customers with customized technology platform software development and implementation services. These revenues are received pursuant to contracts that generally detail the naturebenefits of the services to be provided by us, the estimated number of hours such work will require and the total contract fee amount.

Recognition of revenues

Application of the applicable accounting principles of U.S. GAAP requires us to make judgments and estimates in connection with the measurement and recognition of certain revenues. Revenuesservices. All asset-based fees are recognized in the period in whichEnvestnet Wealth Solutions segment.

For certain services provided by third parties, we evaluate whether we are the related services are provided. In certain cases, management is required to determine whether revenues should be recognized in an amount equal to theprincipal (revenue reported on a gross basis) or agent (revenue reported on a net basis). Generally, we report customer fees we receive or net of payments of expenses to third‑parties, such asincluding charges for third party investment managers and custodians, that perform services for us in connection with certain of our financial advisors’ client accounts. Generally, when fees are collected for investment management, clearing, custody or brokerage services in circumstancesservice providers where we do not have a direct contract with such third party service providers on a gross basis, whereas the third‑party provider, the feesamounts billed to our customers are recorded as revenue, on a net basis. Fees we received in advance of the performance of servicesand amounts paid to third party service providers are recorded as deferred revenues ondirect expense. We are the principal in the transaction because we control the services before they are transferred to our consolidated balance sheetcustomers. Control is evidenced by being primarily responsible to our customers and having discretion in establishing pricing.
Subscription-based recurring revenue—Subscription-based recurring revenue primarily consist of fees for providing customers continuous access to our platform for wealth management and financial wellness. The subscription-based fees generally include fixed fees and or usage-based fees.
Generally, the subscription services are substantially the same over each quarter and performed in a similar manner over the contract period, and are recognizedconsidered stand-ready promises. Quarterly subscription services are considered distinct as revenues when earned, generally over three months.

The Company derives subscription and licensing fees from recurring contractual fixed fee contracts with larger financial institutions or enterprise clients. Licensing contracts allow the customer can benefit from each increment of services on its own and each quarter is separately identified in the contract, and services are considered to providebe a unique configurationsingle performance obligation under the ASC 606.

The Company’s license agreements do not generally provide its customers the ability to take possession of the software or host the software on the customers’ own systems or through a hosting arrangement with an unrelated party.

When the Company enters into arrangements with multiple deliverables, exclusive of arrangements with software deliverables, it applies the FASB’s guidance for revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables and evaluates each deliverable to determine whether it represents a separate unit of accounting based on the following criteria: (i) whether the delivered item has valuebenefits transferred to the customer on a stand‑alone basis, and (ii) if the contract includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, deliveryduring that month or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in the control of the Company. Revenuequarter. Accordingly, revenue is allocated to each unit of accounting or element basedthe specific quarter in which services are performed.

Certain subscription-based contracts contain multiple performance obligations(i.e. platform services performance obligation and professional services performance obligation). Fixed fees are generally recognized on relative selling prices. The Company determines relative selling prices by using either (a) vendor‑specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) if it exists; or (b) third‑party evidence (“TPE”) of selling price. When neither VSOE nor TPE of selling price exists for a deliverable,ratable basis over the Company uses its best estimatequarter beginning when the subscription services are made available to the customer, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the selling price for that deliverable.

After determining which deliverables representsubscription services.

In cases where elements cannot be treatedcustomer receives and consumes the benefit as separate units of accounting,we provide the elementsservices.

Professional services and other revenue—We earn professional services including implementation relatedfees by providing contractual customized services or customized serviceand platform software development the professional service fees are recognized over the course of the expected customer relationship. We have estimated the life of the customer relationship by considering both the historical retention rate of our customers while not exceeding the number of years over which we can accurately forecast future revenues. We currently estimate this term to be five years.

The Company also derives professional service fees from providing contractual customized platform software development andas well as initial implementation fees.

Purchase accounting

Assigning fair market values to the assets acquiredtime and liabilities assumed at the date of an acquisition requires knowledge of current market values,materials basis and the values of assets in use, and often requires the application of judgment regarding estimates and assumptions. While the ultimate responsibility resides with management, for material acquisitions, we retainrevenue is recognized over time as the services of certified valuation specialists to assist with assigning estimated values to certain acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including intangible assets and contingent consideration.

Acquired intangible assets, excluding goodwill, are valued usingperformed. For contracts billed on a discounted cash flow methodology based on future cash flows specific to the type of intangible asset purchased. This methodology incorporates various estimates and assumptions, the most significant being projectedfixed price basis, revenue growth rates, margins, and forecasted cash flowsis recognized over time based on the discount rateproportion of services performed. Initial implementation fees are fixed and terminal growth rate. Management projectsare generally recognized ratably over the contract term.

Professional services and other revenue are recognized in both the general macroeconomic environment. We review finite‑lived intangible assets for triggering events such as significant changes in operations, customers or future revenue that might indicate the need to impair the assets acquired or change the useful lives of the assets acquired. There was no impairment recognized on intangible assets in 2017, 2016 or 2015.

Assumed liabilities are valued based on estimates of anticipated expenditures to be incurred to satisfy the assumed obligations, including contractual liabilities assumed, which require the exercise of professional judgment.

Assumed contracts may have favorable or unfavorable terms that must be valued as of the acquisition date. Such valuation is subject to management judgment regarding the evaluationEnvestnet Wealth Solutions and interpretation of contract terms in relation to other economic circumstances, such as the market rates for office space leases.

If we assume a performance obligation to customers as of the acquisition date, a deferred revenue obligation is recognized. Judgment is required to evaluate whether a future performance obligation exists and to assign a value to the performance obligation.

Assumed acquired tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions are dependent on assessing the past practices of the acquisition target based on our review of actual tax filings and information obtained through due diligence procedures. Evaluation of the validity of tax positions taken by the acquisition target are subject to management judgment.

The Company determines the fair value of contingent acquisition consideration payable on the acquisition date using a discounted cash flow approach utilizing an appropriate discount rate. Each reporting period thereafter, the Company revalues these obligations and records increases or decreases in their fair value as adjustments to fair market value adjustment on contingent consideration in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Changes in the fair value of the contingent acquisition consideration payable can result from adjustments to the estimated revenue forecasts included in the contingent payment calculations.

Reviews for impairment of goodwill and acquired intangible assets


Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and more often if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Based on the relevant U.S. GAAP authoritative guidance, we aggregate components of a single operating segment into a reporting unit, if appropriate. For purposes of performing the impairment tests, we identify reporting units in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The identification of reporting units and consideration of aggregation criteria requires management judgment.

If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is performed. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then a quantitative evaluation must be performed. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its fair value, then an impairment loss equal to the difference will be recorded.


In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, prior to performing thea quantitative evaluation, an assessment of qualitative factors may be performed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the

51


fair value of a reporting unit exceeds theits carrying value. If it is determined that it is unlikely that the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the Company is not required to complete the quantitative goodwill impairment evaluation. The selection and assessment of qualitative factors used to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value involves management judgment.

If it is determined that it is unlikely that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a quantitative goodwill impairment evaluation is not required, and no impairment is recorded. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then a quantitative goodwill impairment test must be performed and if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then an impairment loss equal to the difference is recorded.


Due to lower revenue and profits in the Envestnet completed itsData & Analytics segment in 2023 compared to prior years, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment evaluation as part of the annual goodwill impairment testanalysis for each reporting unit as of October 31, 2017 for2023. Additionally, the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.  AtCompany implemented organizational changes that date, Envestnetresulted in changes to its reporting units. The Company completed an assessment immediately prior to and after the organization change and determined it was appropriate to aggregate certain components of the same operating segment into a single reporting unit.  The Company has concluded that it has two reporting units.  Envestnet also determined that it wasis not more likely than not that the fair value of itsthe Company’s reporting units exceededunit is greater than the carrying value. As a result of these analyses, the carrying value and concluded thatof the Envestnet Data & Analytics reporting unit exceeded its fair value, which resulted in the recognition of a non-cash impairment charge to goodwill was not impaired. As a result,of $191.8 million during the Company did not perform the quantitative goodwill impairment evaluation.

fourth quarter of 2023.


As part of the Company’s ongoing monitoring efforts to assess goodwill for possible indications of impairment, we will continue to consider a wide variety of factors, including but not limited to the global economic environment and its potential impact on Envestnet’sour business. There can be no assurance that our estimates and assumptions regarding forecasted cash flows of certainour reporting units, the current economic environment, discount rates, or the other inputs used in forecasting the present value of forecasted cash flows, as well as the selection of representative guideline public company’s will prove to be accurate projections of future performance.


Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances may affect the recoverability of the net assets. Such reviews include an analysis of current results and take into consideration the undiscounted value of projected operating cash flows. No material intangible asset impairment charges have been recorded for the years ended December 31, 2017, 20162023, 2022 and 2015.

Income taxes


We are subject to income taxes in the United States, Australia, Canada, India, and the United Kingdom. Significant judgment is required in evaluating our tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes.


We use the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Company’sour income tax provision in the period that includes the enactment date. We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that we determine is more-likely-than-not to be realized in the future.

72


In our ordinary course of business, we may enter into transactions for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. In such cases, we establish reserves for tax-related uncertainties based on our estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. The reserves are established when we believe that certain positions are likely to be challenged and may not be fully sustained on review by tax authorities. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit or refinement of an estimate. Although we believe our reserves are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of these matters will not be different from that which is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will be reflected in our provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate.


The amount of income tax we pay is subject to audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, which may result in proposed assessments. Our estimate of the potential outcome for any uncertain tax issue is highly judgmental. We believe that we have adequately provided for the foreseeable outcome related to these matters. However, our future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made or resolved, audits are closed or when statutes of limitations on potential assessments expire. Additionally, the jurisdictions in which our earnings or deductions are realized may differ from our current estimates. As a result, our effective tax rate may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis.

52



Significant judgment is also required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider all available evidence, including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income and the feasibility of tax planning strategies. In the event that we change our determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, we will adjust our valuation allowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. It is anticipated that the net deferred tax liability position of our January 2018 acquisition of Folio Dynamix will cause the Company to release a portion of its valuation allowance during the first quarter of 2018.


Our effective tax rates differ from the statutory rates primarily due to state taxes, permanent differences,the effect of goodwill impairment, the change in the valuation allowance the Company has placed on a portion of its U.S. deferred tax assets, the generation of R&D tax credits, unrecognizedthe executive compensation deduction limitation, tax benefits, prior period true-ups, changesdeficiency related to stock-based compensation, income related to the India partnerships, change in valuation allowances, changes in ratesour permanent reinvestment assertion for our Indian subsidiary, and tax reform.state taxes. Our provision for income taxes varies based on, among other things, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, the tax effects of non-cash stock-based compensation or changes in applicable tax laws, regulations and accounting principles or interpretations thereof.


We are subject to examination of our income tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. We assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. There can be no assurance that the outcomes from these examinations will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.


Our Indian subsidiary issubsidiaries are currently under examination by the India Tax Authority for the fiscal years ended March 31, 20052023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2017, 2012, 2011 and forward.2010. Based on the outcome of examinations of our subsidiary or the result of the expiration of statutes of limitations it is reasonably possible that the related unrecognized tax benefits could change from those recorded in the consolidated balance sheets.

It is possible that one or more of these audits may be finalized within the next twelve months.

Year ended December 31, 2017 compared to year ended December 31, 2016

Revenues

Total revenues increased 18% from $578,164 in 2016 to $683,679 in 2017. The increase was primarily due to an increase in asset values applicable to our quarterly billing cycles in 2017, relative to the corresponding period in 2016 and an increase in subscription and licensing revenues of $47,742, of which $26,034 was related to the Envestnet | Yodlee segment primarily attributable to our data analytics and FI and YI channels. Revenues from assets under management or administration comprised 60% and 61% of total revenues in 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Assets under management or administration

Revenues earned from assets under management or administration increased 16% from $352,498 in 2016 to $410,016 in 2017. The increase was primarily due to an increase in asset values applicable to our quarterly billing cycles in 2017, relative to the corresponding period in 2016. In 2017, revenues were further positively affected by new account growth, market appreciation and positive net flows of AUM or AUA during 2016 and 2017, partially offset by a lower overall effective fee rate on AUM/A.

54


The number of financial advisors with AUM or AUA on our technology platforms increased from 36,483 as of December 31, 2016 to 40,485 as of December 31, 2017 and the number of AUM or AUA client accounts increased from approximately 1,540,000 as of December 31, 2016 to approximately 1,900,000 as of December 31, 2017.

Subscription and licensing

Subscription and licensing revenues increased 24% from $198,125 in 2016 to $245,867 in 2017. This increase was primarily due to an increase in Envestnet | Yodlee contributing an additional $26,034, Envestnet | Tamarac related revenue of $12,212 and Envestnet | Enterprise revenue of $9,496. The increase in the Envestnet | Yodlee segments was primarily attributable to our data analytics and FI and YI channels. The Envestnet | Tamarac revenue increase resulted from the continued addition of new clients and selling additional services to existing clients. The Envestnet | Enterprise revenue increase was primarily attributable to a significant client which attributed revenue for an entire year during 2017 as compared to a portion of 2016.

Professional services and other

Professional services and other revenues increased 1% from $27,541 in 2016 to $27,796 in 2017.  This was primarily due to relatively consistent year over year implementation fees and data analytics customer deployments.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues increased 21% from $180,590 in 2016 to $219,037 in 2017, primarily due to the corresponding increase in revenues from AUM or AUA. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of revenues increased from 31% in 2016 to 32%  in 2017.  The increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenue is primarily a result of the an increase in third party consulting and professional services for new data analytics customer deployments and hosting and payment processing services.

Compensation and benefits

Compensation and benefits increased 9% from $241,584 in 2016 to $264,392 in 2017, primarily due to an increase in salaries, benefits and related payroll taxes of $21,764 related to an increase in headcount, and increases in incentive compensation of $3,610 and short-term variable compensation of $1,553, partially offset by decreases in severance expense of $2,025 and non-cash compensation expense of $1,944.  Headcount increased from an average of 2,900 in 2016 to an average of 3,000 in 2017, primarily as a result of an increase in headcount to support the organic growth of our operations. As a percentage of total revenues, compensation and benefits decreased from 42% in 2016 to 39% in 2017. The decrease in compensation and benefits as a percentage of total revenues is primarily due to a higher revenue increase compared to a lower compensation and benefit increase.

General and administration

General and administration expenses increased 5% from $115,435 in 2016 to $121,010 in 2017, primarily due to increases in transaction related costs of $7,882, occupancy costs of $3,901, professional and legal fees of $2,016, marketing costs of $1,623 and travel and entertainment expense of $1,264, partially offset by decreases in non-income tax expense of $5,883, litigation expense of $4,558 and fair market value adjustment on continent consideration of $1,588. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administration expenses decreased from 20% in 2016 to 18% in 2017. The decrease in general and administration as a percentage of total revenues is primarily due to a higher revenue increase compared to a lower general and administration increase.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 2% from $63,999 in 2016 to $62,820 in 2017, primarily due to a decrease in intangible asset amortization of $3,388 due to a significant portion of the intangible assets being amortized using an accelerated expense method throughout the assets’ useful livesand the majority of such assets being acquired prior to 2017 (see “Note 3 – Business Acquisitions” to the notes to consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8). The decrease in depreciation and amortization was partially offset by an increase in amortization and

55


depreciation on internally developed software and property and equipment, primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures. As a percentage of total revenues, depreciation and amortization decreased from 11% in 2016 to 9% in 2017, primarily as a result of a decrease in Envestnet | Yodlee intangible asset amortization.

Interest expense

Interest expense remained consistent from $16,600 in 2016 to $16,347 in 2017. Interest expense includes coupon interest, discount amortization, and issuance cost amortization related to the Convertible Notes as well as interest and amortization of upfront fees and monthly fees related to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The discount, issuance costs, and upfront fees are amortized over the term of the related agreements.

Other expense, net

Other expense, net increased from $483 in 2016 to $1,963 in 2017, primarily due to a one-time 2016 gain related to a customer settlement of $1,384 as well as comparatively favorable foreign currency impacts of $532, partially offset by a decrease in losses and impairments booked on investments in private companies of $685.

Our 2017 effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the effect of state taxes, AMT Credit conversion to a receivable, foreign tax expense, change in foreign unremitted earnings assertion, indefinite-lived intangibles, changes in valuation allowance on our domestic temporary differences and tax reform.

Our 2016 effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the effect of state taxes, foreign tax expense, unremitted foreign earnings true-up, indefinite-lived intangibles and changes in valuation allowance on our domestic temporary differences.

Year ended December 31, 2016 compared to year ended December 31, 2015

Revenues

Total revenues increased 37% from $420,919 in 2015 to $578,164 in 2016. The increase was primarily due to an increase in subscription and licensing revenues of $122,845 related to the acquisition of Yodlee on November 19, 2015. Revenues from assets under management or administration comprised 61% and 79% of total revenues in 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Assets under management or administration

Revenues earned from assets under management or administration increased 6% from $333,684 in 2015 to $352,498 in 2016. The increase was primarily due to an increase in asset values applicable to our quarterly billing cycles in 2016, relative to the corresponding period in 2015. In 2016, revenues were further positively affected by new account growth, market appreciation and positive net flows of AUM or AUA during 2015 and 2016, partially offset by a lower overall effective fee rate on AUM/A, primarily related to the transition of a WMS client to a lower priced solution.

56


The number of financial advisors with AUM or AUA on our technology platforms increased from 33,775 as of December 31, 2015 to 36,483 as of December 31, 2016 and the number of AUM or AUA client accounts increased from approximately 1,298,000 as of December 31, 2015 to approximately 1,540,000 as of December 31, 2016.

Subscription and licensing

Subscription and licensing revenues increased 163% from $75,280 in 2015 to $198,125 in 2016. This increase was primarily due to an increase in Envestnet | Yodlee contributing an additional $102,224 and Envestnet | Tamarac related revenue of $11,544. Envestnet | Yodlee was acquired November 19, 2015 and therefore its revenues were included for only a small portion of the year in comparison to an entire year during 2016. The Envestnet | Tamarac revenue increase resulted from the continued addition of new clients and selling additional services to existing clients.

Professional services and other

Professional services and other revenues increased 130% from $11,955 in 2015 to $27,541 in 2016. This increase was primarily due to an increase in Envestnet | Yodlee contributing an additional $14,227 and Envestnet | Tamarac related revenue of $1,207. Envestnet | Yodlee was acquired November 19, 2015 and therefore its revenues were included for only a small portion of the year in comparison to an entire year during 2016. The increase in Envestnet and Envestnet | Tamarac professional service revenue was a result of an increase in implementation revenue from the onboarding of new clients.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues increased 12% from $161,309 in 2015 to $180,590 in 2016, primarily due to the corresponding increase in revenues from AUM or AUA. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of revenues decreased from 38% in 2015 to 31% in 2016.  The decrease in cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenue is primarily a result of the inclusion of Envestnet | Yodlee segment revenues which have a lower cost of revenue profile.

Compensation and benefits

Compensation and benefits increased 73% from $139,756 in 2015 to $241,584 in 2016, primarily due to an increase in salaries, benefits and related payroll taxes of $67,290 related to an increase in headcount, an increase in incentive compensation of $9,142 and an increase in noncash compensation expense of $18,115. Headcount increased from an average of 1,400 in 2015 to an average of 2,900 in 2016, primarily as a result of the Yodlee acquisition as well as an increase in headcount to support the growth of our operations. As a percentage of total revenues, compensation and benefits increased from 33% in 2015 to 42% in 2016. The increase in compensation and benefits as a percentage of total revenues is primarily due to the inclusion of the Envestnet | Yodlee segment which has a higher compensation and benefits profile. 

General and administration

General and administration expenses increased 58% from $72,900 in 2015 to $115,435 in 2016, primarily due to general and administration expense increases related to the Envestnet | Yodlee segment of $30,160 as well as an increase in non-income tax expense of $6,229. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administration expenses increased from 17% in 2015 to 20% in 2016. The increase in general and administration expense as a percentage of total revenues is primarily due to the inclusion of the Envestnet | Yodlee segment which has a higher general and administrative expense profile.  

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 129% from $27,962 in 2015 to $63,999 in 2016, primarily due to an increase in intangible asset amortization of $27,879 as a result of intangible assets recorded in purchase accounting related to our 2015 and 2016 acquisitions (see “Note 3 – Business Acquisitions” to the notes to consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8). The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was also due to increases in

57


capitalized computer equipment and software to support the growth of our operations. As a percentage of total revenues, depreciation and amortization increased from 7% in 2015 to 11% in 2016, primarily as a result of Envestnet | Yodlee intangible asset amortization. 

Interest expense

Interest expense increased 62% from $10,271 in 2015 to $16,600 in 2016 as a result of the issuance of $160,000 in Term Notes under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement during the fourth quarter of 2015. Interest expense includes coupon interest, discount amortization, and issuance cost amortization related to the Convertible Notes as well as interest and amortization of upfront fees and monthly fees related to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Year ended December 31, 2017 compared to year ended December 31, 2016 for the Envestnet segment

Revenues

Assets under management or administration

Revenues earned from assets under management or administration increased 16% from $352,498 in 2016 to $410,016 in 2017. The increase was primarily due to an increase in asset values applicable to our quarterly billing cycles in 2017, relative to the corresponding period in 2016. In 2017, revenues were further positively affected by new account growth, market appreciation and positive net flows of AUM or AUA during 2016 and 2017, partially offset by a lower overall effective fee rate on AUM/A.

59


The number of financial advisors with AUM or AUA on our technology platforms increased from 36,483 as of December 31, 2016 to 40,485 as of December 31, 2017 and the number of AUM or AUA client accounts increased from approximately 1,540,000 as of December 31, 2016 to approximately 1,900,000 as of December 31, 2017.

Subscription and licensing

Subscription and licensing revenues increased 26% from $84,340 in 2016 to $106,048 in 2017. This increase was primarily due to an increase in Envestnet | Tamarac and Envestnet | Enterprise related revenue of $12,212 and $9,496, respectively. The Envestnet | Tamarac and Envestnet | Enterprise revenue increase resulted from the continued addition of new clients and selling additional services to existing clients.    

Professional services and other

Professional services and other revenues increased 10% from $10,794 in 2016 to $11,841 in 2017. This increase was primarily due to increases in Envestnet | Tamarac and Envestnet | Enterprise related revenue of $640 and $400, respectively. The increase in Envestnet | Tamarac professional service revenue was a result of an increase in implementation revenue from the onboarding of new clients. The Envestnet | Enterprise revenue increase was primarily due to an increase in Advisor Summit related revenue.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues increased 21% from $169,732 in 2016 to $205,793 in 2017, primarily due to the corresponding increase in revenues from AUM or AUA, and the mix of such revenues. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of revenues increased from 38% in 2016 to 39% in 2017.

Compensation and benefits

Compensation and benefits increased 9% from $144,388 in 2016 to $157,237 in 2017, primarily due to an increase in salaries, benefits and related payroll taxes of $8,765 related to an increase in headcount, an increase in non‑cash compensation expense of $2,472 and an increase in incentive compensation of $1,784. As a percentage of total revenues, compensation and benefits decreased from 32% in 2016 to 30% in 2017. The decrease in compensation and benefits as a percentage of total revenues is primarily due to a higher revenue increase compared to a lower compensation and benefit increase.

General and administration

General and administration expenses decreased 6% from $67,050 in 2016 to $63,203 in 2017, primarily due to decreases in non-income tax expenses of $5,883 and website and systems development costs of $2,392, partially offset by increases in communication, research and data services costs of $2,330 and occupancy costs of $2,043. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administration expenses decreased from 15% in 2016 to 12% in 2017. The decrease in general as a percentage of total revenues is primarily due to a higher revenue increase compared to a lower general and administration increase.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 6% from $24,784 in 2016 to $26,223 in 2017, primarily due to increases in internally developed software amortization expense of $1,664 and property and equipment depreciation expense of $1,510, partially offset by a decrease in intangible asset amortization expense of $1,735. As a percentage of total revenues, depreciation and amortization decreased from 6% in 2016 to 5% in 2017.

In 2016, revenues were further positively affected by new account growth, market appreciation and positive net flows of AUM or AUA during 2015 and 2016, partially offset by a lower overall effective fee rate on AUM/A, primarily related to the transition of a WMS client to a lower priced solution.

The number of financial advisors with AUM or AUA on our technology platforms increased from 33,775 as of December 31, 2015 to 36,483 as of December 31, 2016 and the number of AUM or AUA client accounts increased from approximately 1,298,000 as of December 31, 2015 to approximately 1,540,000 as of December 31, 2016.

Subscription and licensing

Subscription and licensing revenues increased 32% from $63,719 in 2015 to $84,340 in 2016. This increase was primarily due to an increase in Envestnet | Tamarac related revenue of $11,544. The Envestnet | Tamarac revenue increase resulted from the continued addition of new clients and selling additional services to existing clients. The remainder of the increase was primarily due to the addition of several large contracts by Envestnet.

Professional services and other

Professional services and other revenues increased 14% from $9,435 in 2015 to $10,794 in 2016. This increase was primarily due to an increase in Envestnet | Tamarac related revenue of $1,207.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues increased 6% from $160,489 in 2015 to $169,732 in 2016, primarily due to the corresponding increase in revenues from AUM or AUA. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of revenues decreased from 39% in 2015 to 38% in 2016.

Year ended December 31, 2017 compared to year ended December 31, 2016 for the Envestnet | Yodlee segment

Revenues

Subscription and licensing

Subscription and licensing revenues increased 23% from $113,785 in 2016 to $139,819 in 2017. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $18.9 million in revenue attributed to our data analytics channel with the remainder primarily derived from our FI and YI channels.

Professional services and other

Professional services and other revenues decreased 5% from $16,747 in 2016 to $15,955 in 2017. This decrease was primarily due to timing of new data analytics customer deployments.

62


Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues increased 22% from $10,858 in 2016 to $13,244 in 2017, primarily due toan increase in third party consulting and professional services of $900 for new data analytics customer deployments and hosting and payment processing services of $1,577 to support our overall revenue growth. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of revenues increased from 8% in 2016 to 9% in 2017.

Compensation and benefits

Compensation and benefits increased 9% from $85,972 in 2016 to $93,316 in 2017, primarily due to an increase in salaries, benefits and related payroll taxes of $10,192, as a result of increased headcount to support organic growth and an increase related to the Wheelhouse acquisition, and an increase in incentive compensation of $1,809, offset by a decrease in non-cash compensation expense of $4,153. As a percentage of total revenues, compensation and benefits decreased from 66% in 2016 to 60% in 2017. The decrease in compensation and benefits as a percentage of total revenues is primarily due to a higher revenue increase compared to lower growth in compensation and benefit expenses.

General and administration

General and administration expenses decreased 3% from $33,034 in 2016 to $32,073 in 2017, primarily due to decreases in litigation related expense of $4,317 and realized losses on designated hedges of $486, offset by increases in software purchase and maintenance of $2,120 and occupancy cost of $1,856. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administration expenses decreased from 25% in 2016 to 21% in 2017. The decrease in general and administration as a percentage of total revenues is primarily due to a higher revenue increase compared to lower growth in general and administration expenses.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 7% from $39,215 in 2016 to $36,597 in 2017, primarily due to a decrease in intangible asset amortization of $1,653primarily due to a significant portion of the intangible assets being amortized using an accelerated expense method throughout the assets’ useful lives and the majority of such assets being acquired prior to 2017, as well as a decrease in depreciation of property and equipment of $965. As a percentage of total revenues, depreciation and amortization expense decreased from 30% in 2016 to 23% in 2017. The decrease in depreciation and amortization as a percentage of total revenues is primarily due to a higher revenue increase and a decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses.

Year ended December 31, 2016 compared to year ended December 31, 2015 for the Envestnet | Yodlee segment

The 2015 period for Envestnet | Yodlee consists of financial activity from November 19, 2015 through December 31, 2015. Due to this time period deviating significantly from 2016 where twelve months of financial activity is consolidated, a year-over-year review would not be meaningful. For additional information pertaining to our business segments, see “Note 21 – Segment Information” to the notes to consolidated financial statements inSee Part II, Item 8, as well as Item 1 in Part I.

Compensation and benefits increased 23% from $11,224 in 2016 to $13,839 in 2017, primarily due to increases in salaries, benefits and related payroll taxesa detailed description of $2,807.

General and administration

General and administration expenses increased 68% from $15,351 in 2016 to $25,734 in 2017, primarily due to increases in transaction related expenses of $8,484, professional and legal fees of $2,582 and marketing expense of $524, partially offset by a decrease in fair market value adjustments to contingent consideration liabilities of $1,588.

Year ended December 31, 2016 compared to year ended December 31, 2015 for nonsegment

Nonsegment expenses increased 25% from $21,302 in 2015 to $26,575 in 2016, primarily due to increases in fair market value adjustments to contingent consideration liabilities of $5,740, non-cash compensation expense of $4,073, professional and legal fees of $1,786, incentive compensation of $694, salary and benefits expense of $634, offset by a decrease in transaction related costs of $8,679.

Non‑GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting results according to U.S. GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures to enhance the understanding of our operating performance. Those measures include “adjusted revenues”, “adjusted EBITDA”, “adjusted net income” and “adjusted net income per share”.

“Adjusted revenues” excludes the effect of purchase accounting on the fair value of acquired deferred revenue. Under U.S. GAAP, we record at fair value the acquired deferred revenue for contracts in effect at the time the entities were acquired. Consequently, revenue related to acquired entities for periods subsequent to the acquisition does not reflect the full amount of revenue that would have been recorded by these entities had they remained standalone entities.

“Adjusted EBITDA” represents net income (loss) before deferred revenue fair value adjustment, interest income, interest expense, accretion on contingent consideration, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization, non‑cash compensation expense, restructuring charges and transaction costs, severance, fair market value adjustment on contingent consideration, litigation related expense, foreign currency and related hedging activity, other

64


(income) expense, non-income tax expense adjustment, impairment of equity method investment, loss allocation from equity method investment and loss attributable to non‑controlling interest.

“Adjusted net income” represents net income (loss) before deferred revenue fair value adjustment, accretion on contingent consideration, non‑cash interest expense, non‑cash compensation expense, restructuring charges and transaction costs, severance, amortization of acquired intangibles, fair‑market value adjustment on contingent consideration, litigation related expense, foreign currency and related hedging activity, other (income) expense, non-income tax expense adjustment, impairment of equity method investment, loss allocation from equity method investment and loss attributable to non‑controlling interest. Reconciling items are presented gross of tax, and a normalized tax rate is applied to the total of all reconciling items to arrive at adjusted net income. The reconciling items, and resulting adjusted net income, are presented on a different basis than historically shown to eliminate the impact of quarterly volatility of the GAAP tax provision on the Company’s adjusted earnings figures.

“Adjusted net income per share” represents adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders divided by the diluted number of weighted‑average shares outstanding.

Our Board of Directors and our management use adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share:

·

As measures of operating performance;

·

For planning purposes, including the preparation of annual budgets;

·

To allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business;

·

To evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies; and

·

In communications with our Board of Directors concerning our financial performance.

Our Compensation Committee, Board of Directors and our management may also consider adjusted EBITDA, among other factors, when determining management’s incentive compensation.

We also present adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share as supplemental performance measures because we believe that they provide our Board of Directors, management and investors with additional information to assess our performance. Adjusted revenues provide comparisons from period to period by excluding the effect of purchase accounting on the fair value of acquired deferred revenue. Adjusted EBITDA provide comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences caused by variations in the age and book depreciation of fixed assets affecting relative depreciation expense and amortization of internally developed software, amortization of acquired intangible assets, litigation‑related expense, foreign currency and related hedging activity, income tax provision, restructuring charges and transaction costs, accretion on contingent consideration and purchase liability, fair market value adjustments on contingent consideration, non-income tax expense, other (income) expense, severance, impairment of equity method investment, loss allocation from equity method investment, loss attributable to non‑controlling interest, and changes in interest expense and interest income that are influenced by capital structure decisions and capital market conditions. Our management also believes it is useful to exclude non‑cash stock‑based compensation expense from adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income because non‑cash equity grants made at a certain price and point in time do not necessarily reflect how our business is performing at any particular time.

We believe adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because securities analysts use adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share as supplemental measures to evaluate the overall performance of companies, and we anticipate that our investor and analyst presentations will include adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share.

65


Adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are not measurements of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to revenues, net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our profitability or liquidity.

We understand that, although adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are frequently used by securities analysts and others in their evaluation of companies, these measures have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. In particular you should consider:

·

Adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

·

Adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

·

Adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share do not reflect non‑cash components of employee compensation;

·

Although depreciation and amortization are non‑cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized often will have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

·

Due to either net losses before income tax expenses or the use of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards in 2017, 2016 and 2015, we had cash income tax payments, net of refunds, of $3,261, $1,114, and $1,700 in the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Income tax payments will be higher if we continue to generate taxable income and our existing net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income taxes have been fully utilized or have expired; and

·

Other companies in our industry may calculate adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

Management compensates for the inherent limitations associated with using adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share through disclosure of such limitations, presentation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliation of adjusted revenues to revenues, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure and adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share to net income and net income per share, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Further, our management also reviews U.S. GAAP measures and evaluates individual measures that are not included in some or all of our non‑U.S. GAAP financial measures, such as our level of capital expenditures and interest income, among other measures.

(1) For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the effective tax rate computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP equaled (94.2%), (37.2)% and 50.6%, respectively.     

(2) For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, an estimated normalized effective tax rate of 40% has been used to compute adjusted net income.

Note on Income Taxes: As of December 31, 2017, the Company had NOL carryforwards of $249,653 and $143,775 for federal and state income tax purposes, respectively, available to reduce future income subject to income taxes. As a result, the amount of actual cash taxes the Company pays for federal, state and foreign income taxes differs significantly from the effective income tax rate computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and from the normalized rate shown above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2017, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $60,115, compared to $52,592 as of December 31, 2016. We plan to use existing cash as of December 31, 2017 and cash generated in the ongoing operations of our business to fund our current operations, capital expenditures and possible acquisitions or other strategic activity, and to meet our debt service obligations. If the cash generated in the ongoing operations of our business is insufficient to fund these requirements we may be required to borrow under our bank credit agreement to fund our ongoing operations or to fund potential acquisitions or other strategic activities. The Company funded the FolioDynamix acquisition subsequent to year-end with a combination of cash on the Company’s balance sheet and borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

Credit Agreement

On July 18, 2017, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with a group of banks (the “Banks”), for which Bank of Montreal is acting as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”). The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of November 19, 2015, as amended, among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent (the “Prior Credit Facility”). Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Banks have agreed to provide to the Company revolving credit commitments (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) in the aggregate amount of up to $350,000 which amount may be increased by $50,000. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also includes a $5,000 subfacility for the issuance of letters of credit.

Obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries. In accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Security Agreement, dated July 18, 2017 (the “Security Agreement”), among the Company, the Debtors party thereto and the Administrative Agent, obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s domestic assets and the Company’s pledge of 66% of the voting equity and 100% of the non-voting equity of certain of its first-tier foreign subsidiaries. Proceeds under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may be used to finance capital expenditures, working capital, permitted acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.

70


The Company will pay interest on borrowings made under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement at rates between 1.50 percent and 3.25 percent above LIBOR based on the Company’s total leverage ratio. Borrowings under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are scheduled to mature on July 18, 2022.

The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary conditions, representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, mandatory prepayment provisions and events of default. The covenants include certain financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain compliance with a maximum senior leverage ratio, a maximum total leverage ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio and minimum liquidity requirement, and provisions that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur debt, make investments, sell assets, create liens, engage in transactions with affiliates, engage in mergers and acquisitions, pay dividends and other restricted payments, grant negative pledges and change their business activities.

The July 18, 2017 amendment to the Prior Credit Facility replaced the Term Notes and related excess cash flow payment obligations with a revolving line of credit. The Company’s consolidated balance sheets reflect these changes with no resulting portion of debt related to the revolving credit facility being classified as short-term, in accordance with the term of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

As of December 31, 2017, an amount of $81,168 was outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility.  Subsequent to December 31, 2017, the Company borrowed $195,000 to fund the acquisition of FolioDynamix.

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2017 increased by $27,337 compared to 2016, primarily due to a decrease in net loss of $52,287, partially offset by decreases in the change in deferred income tax liabilities of $10,181 andchanges in operating assets and liabilities of $11,372.

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2016 increased by $39,235 compared to 2015, primarily due to the Yodlee acquisition contributing an entire year of operating cash flow, an increase in the change in operating assets and liabilities totaling $24,777, an increase in non‑cash adjustments totaling $74,461, offset by a decrease in net income of $60,003 in 2016 compared to the prior year period.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities in 2017 decreased by $28,908 compared to 2016, primarily due to a decrease in cash used for acquisition of business of $31,613, partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures for internally develop software of $4,015.

Net cash used in investing activities in 2016 decreased by $286,694 compared to 2015, primarily due to the Yodlee and other acquisitions during 2015 totaling $328,305 offset by cash used in acquisitions of $31,613 during 2016. 

71


In 2016, the Company acquired FinaConnect and Wheelhouse for net cash totaling $6,693, and $13,219, respectively, as well as a payment of $11,701 related to the Yodlee dissenting shareholders (see “Note 3 – Business Acquisitions” to the notes to consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8).

Financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities in 2017 increased by $49,971 compared to 2016, primarily due to increases in Term Note payments of $27,862, payments on the revolving credit facility of $22,500, purchase of treasury stock for stock-based minimum tax withholdings of $3,008, and an increase in proceeds from borrowings on the revolving credit facility of $5,000. These impacts were partially offset by an increase in proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $3,027 and a decrease in payments of purchase consideration liabilities of $3,021.

Net cash used in financing activities in 2016 was $22,469 compared to net cash provided by financing activities in 2015 of $144,550. The fluctuation of $167,019 was primarily the result of 2015 including $160,000 of proceeds from the issuance of Term Notes.

Backlog

We sell subscriptions to our solutions through contracts that are generally one to three years in length, although terms can extend to as long as five years. Our subscription agreements with our customers generally contain scheduled minimum subscription fees, and usage-based fees which depend on the extent their customers or end users use our platform. We consider the unpaid contractual minimum payments under our subscription agreements to be our backlog. Due to the inherent volatility of backlog measured using contractual minimums, and the fact that contractual minimums are becoming increasingly less important to our business, we do not utilize backlog as a key management metric internally and we do not believe that it is a meaningful measurement of our future revenues.

We expect that the amount of backlog relative to the total value of our subscription agreements will change from year to year for several reasons, including the timing of contract renewals, the proportion of total subscription revenue represented by contractual minimum payments and the average non-cancellable terms of our subscription agreements. The change in backlog that results from these events may not be an indicator of the likelihood of renewal or expected future revenues.

We also expect that as our customer base continues to mature and customer deployments scale usage, renewals over time will increasingly have fewer contractual minimum fees because such fees are intended to decrease the timing risk associated with initial deployment commitments.

In addition, because revenue for any period is a function of revenue recognized from deferred revenue under contracts in existence at the beginning of the period, as well as contracts that are renewed and new customer contracts that are entered into during the period, backlog at the beginning of any period is not necessarily indicative of future performance.

We lease facilities under non‑cancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through 2030.

No scheduled payments exist for the revolving credit facility, and prepayments can be made without penalty.

The table above does not reflect the following:

·

Amounts estimated for uncertain tax positions as the timing and likelihood of such payments cannot be reasonably estimated.

·

Voluntary employer matching contributions to our defined contribution benefit plans since the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, we made voluntary employer matching contributions of $4,038, $2,270 and $1,521, respectively.

The Company includes various types of indemnification and guarantee clauses in certain arrangements. These indemnifications and guarantees may include, but are not limited to, infringement claims related to intellectual property, direct or consequential damages and guarantees to certain service providers and service level requirements with certain customers. The type and amount of any potential indemnification or guarantee varies substantially based on the nature of each arrangement. The Company has experienced no previous claims and cannot determine the maximum amount of potential future payments, if any, related to such indemnification and guarantee provisions. The Company believes that it is unlikely it will have to make material payments under these arrangements and therefore has not recorded a contingent liability in the consolidated balance sheets.

Off‑Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than operating leases as indicated above, we do not have any other off‑balance sheet arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 is based on principles that govern the recognition of revenue at an amount an entity expects to be entitled when products are transferred to customers.

Pronouncements.

73



 In  August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 to amend ASU 2014-09 by approving a one-year deferral of the effective date as well as providing the option to early adopt the standard on the original effective date. Accordingly, the Company will adopt the standard in its first quarter of 2018.

The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial adoption. The standard also allows entities to apply certain practical expedients at their discretion. The Company will adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach with a cumulative catch-up adjustment and will provide additional disclosures comparing results to previous GAAP in our 2018 consolidated financial statements. We plan to apply the new revenue standard only to contracts not completed as of the date of initial application, referred to as open contracts. The Company has substantially completed the implementation of key systems changes and changes to internal controls over financial reporting to allow the Company to timely compile the information needed to account for transactions under this new guidance.  

In adopting ASU 2014-09, the Company expects the following significant changes:

i)

Timing of revenue recognition for initial implementation services. Under ASU 2014-09, the Company will recognize professional services revenue from the initial implementation services over the remaining contractual term of the arrangement. Previously, this revenue was recognized on a straight line basis over the estimated life of the customer relationship; and

ii)

Deferral of incremental direct costs to obtaining a contract with a customer. Under ASU 2014-09, the Company will capitalize certain variable compensation (i.e., shot term incentive compensation) payable to its sales force and subsequently amortize the capitalized costs over a period of time that is consistent with the transfer of the related good or service to the customer, which the Company has determined to be five years. Capitalized costs, net of accumulated amortization, will be included in other non-current assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Previously, the Company elected to expense these incremental direct costs as incurred.

The Company currently estimates the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will decrease its 2018 beginning accumulated deficit balance by approximately $9,000, offset by an approximate $4,000 decrease in deferred revenues and an approximate $5,000 increase in other non-current assets.

Additionally, while we are still in the process of assessing the statement of operations classification impact, under ASU 2014-09, for a subset of third party manager agreements, the existing presentation of gross versus net revenue may change.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases”. This update amends the requirements for assets and liabilities recognized for all leases longer than twelve months. Lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability measured on a discounted basis, which is the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. This standard will be effective for financial statements issued by public companies for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, The FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. This update is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of accounting for share-based payments; however, some changes may also increase volatility in reported earnings. Under the new guidance, all excess tax benefits and deficiencies will be recorded as an income tax benefit or expense in the income statement and excess tax benefits will be recorded as an operating activity in the statements of cash flows. The new guidance also allows withholding up to the maximum individual statutory tax rate without classifying the awards as a liability. The cash paid to satisfy the statutory income tax withholding obligation will be classified as a financing activity in the statements of cash flows. Lastly, the update allows forfeitures to be estimated or recognized when they occur. The requirements for the excess tax effects related to share-based payments at settlement must be applied on a prospective basis, and the other requirements under this standard are to be applied on a retrospective basis. This standard will be effective for financial statements

74


issued by public companies for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016.These changes became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2017 and have been reflected in these consolidated financial statements. As a result of the retrospective adoption of ASU 2016-09, for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, net cash provided by operating activities increased by $4,455 and $17,607, respectively, with a corresponding offset to net cash used in financing activities. The Company did not elect an accounting policy change to record forfeitures as they occur and will continue to estimate forfeitures at each period.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” which clarifies eight specific cash flow issues in an effort to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified within the statements of cash flows. This ASU is effective for the Company January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the ASU requires a retrospective application unless it is determined that it is impractical to do so for which it must be retrospectively applied at the earliest date practical. We will adopt the standard effective January 1, 2018. Upon adoption, the Company does not anticipate significant changes to the Company's existing accounting policies or presentation of the consolidated statements of cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350),” which removes step two from the goodwill impairment test. As a result, an entity should perform its annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting units’ fair value. This standard will be effective for financial statements issued by public companies for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted this standard as of April 1, 2017, however it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business (Topic 805), which provides a new framework for determining whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. This standard will be effective for public companies for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017.  Early adoption is permitted effective for transactions not yet reported in financial statements issued or made available for issuance. We will adopt the standard effective January 1, 2018. Upon adoption, the Company will assess all future purchases within the context of this updated guidance. We do not anticipate significant changes to the Company's existing accounting policies or presentation of the consolidated statements of cash flows. 

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. This update clarifies which changes to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. Specifically, an entity would not apply modification account if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification as an equity or liability instrument are the same before and after the modification. The ASU is effective for financial statements issued by public companies for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. The standard will be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date. We will adopt the standard effective January 1, 2018. Upon adoption, the Company will assess all future awards within the context of this updated guidance. We do not anticipate significant changes to the Company's existing accounting policies or presentation of the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk

Our exposure to market risk is directly related to revenues from asset management or administrationasset-based recurring revenue earned based upon a contractual percentage of AUM or AUA. InAsset‑based fees represented approximately 60% of our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2017, 20162023, 2022 and 2015, 60%, 61% and 79% of our revenues, respectively, were derived from revenues based on the market value of AUM or AUA.

75


This2021. We expect this percentage willto vary over time. A decrease in the aggregate value of AUM or AUA may cause our revenue and income to decline. We do not use derivativedecline which in turn could lead to a decrease in our earnings. If there are financial instruments for speculative, hedging or trading purposes.

market declines, our asset-based revenue may negatively be impacted in future periods.

73

Foreign currency risk

A portion of our revenue is billed in various foreign currencies. We are directly exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates through the translation of these monthly revenue into U.S. dollars. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we estimate that a hypothetical 10% change in the value of various foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar would not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
The expenses of our India subsidiary,Indian subsidiaries, which primarily consist of expenditurescosts related to employee compensation, and benefits, are paid using the Indian Rupee. We are directly exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates through the translation of these monthly expenditurescosts into U.S. dollars. As ofFor the year ended December 31, 2017,2023, we estimate that a hypothetical 10% increase in the value of the Indian Rupee to the U.S. dollar would result in a decrease of approximately $4,350$4.1 million to pre-tax earnings and a hypothetical 10% decrease in the value of the Indian Rupee to the U.S. dollar would result in an increase of approximately $3,560$3.4 million to pre-tax earnings.

The Company transacts business with entities which provide payment for services in foreign currencies. We are directly exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates through the translation of these revenues into U.S. dollars. As of December 31, 2017, we estimate that a hypothetical 10% increase in the value of these currencies to the U.S. dollar would result in a decrease of approximately $2,920 to pre-tax earnings and a hypothetical 10% decrease in the value of these currencies to the U.S. dollar would result in an increase of approximately $2,840 to pre-tax earnings.

We are subject to market risk from changes in interest rates. The Company has a revolving credit facility that bearsrates if we have borrowings outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility. Outstanding loans under the Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest, at LIBORour option, at a rate equal to either (i) a base rate plus an applicable margin between 1.50 percent and 3.25 percent. Asranging from 0.25% to 1.75% per annum or (ii) an adjusted Term SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.75% per annum, in each case based upon our total net leverage ratio, as calculated pursuant to the LIBOR rates fluctuate, so too will the interest expense on amounts borrowed under the Second Amended and RestatedRevolving Credit Agreement. Interest charged on the revolving credit facility during 2017 was approximately 3.6%.Facility. As of December 31, 2017, there were $81,168 of revolving credit2023, we have no borrowings or amounts outstanding under the Second Amended and RestatedRevolving Credit Agreement. The Company incurred interest expense of $4,153 for the year ended December 31, 2017 related to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.  A hypothetical 0.25% increase or decrease in our interest rate would increase or decrease interest expense on an annual basis by approximately $270.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors
Envestnet, Inc.:


Opinions on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Envestnet, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 20172023 and 2016,2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2017,2023, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017,2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.


In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 20172023 and 2016,2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2017,2023, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017,2023 based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.


Basis for Opinions


The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’sManagement's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.


Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.


Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,

78


and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.


75

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Sufficiency of audit evidence over the IT elements of revenue recognition

As discussed in Notes 2 and 18 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has recorded $1.2 billion of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023. Revenue is derived from asset-based services, subscription or licensing-based services, and professional services and other sources, and sold with varying price structures. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the services is transferred to customers.

We identified the evaluation of the sufficiency of audit evidence over the IT elements of revenue recognition as a critical audit matter. Subjective and complex auditor judgment was required to assess the sufficiency of audit procedures performed and the nature and extent of audit evidence obtained due to the complexity and number of IT systems and the specialized skills needed to test the IT elements of the revenue recognition process.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We applied auditor judgment to determine the nature and extent of procedures to be performed over the IT elements of revenue recognition, including the determination of IT systems for which those procedures were to be performed based on the nature of the information processed by the systems. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls within the Company’s revenue recognition process, including the automated elements of the flow of transactions and certain manual controls over the underlying transaction data processed by the IT systems. We involved IT professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in testing certain general IT controls and certain application controls interacting within the Company’s revenue recognition process. We evaluated the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained by assessing the results of procedures performed.

Goodwill impairment of Data and Analytics reporting unit

As discussed in Notes 2 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the goodwill balance at December 31, 2023 was $806.6 million. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment by performing a qualitative or quantitative evaluation at least annually, or whenever events or circumstances indicate a likely reduction in the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. During the year, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment evaluation for each reporting unit, utilizing a combination of the discounted cash flow method (income approach) and a market approach. As a result of this impairment test, the carrying value of the Data and Analytics reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value, which resulted in the recognition of a non-cash impairment charge to goodwill of $191.8 million.

We identified the evaluation of the goodwill impairment for the Data and Analytics reporting unit as a critical audit matter. Subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate certain assumptions used in the discounted cash flow method (income approach), including forecasted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) margins and the discount rate. Determination of these assumptions is subjective and sensitive to variation that could have had a significant effect on the reporting unit’s estimated fair value. Additionally, the audit effort associated with this estimate required specialized skills and knowledge.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the impairment evaluation of goodwill, including controls related to the Company’s development of projected EBITDA margins and the discount rate. We evaluated the Company’s ability to accurately project EBITDA margin cash flows by comparing the Company’s historical projections to actual results. We evaluated the forecasted EBITDA margins by comparing them to historical performance, assessing the projected impacts of strategic initiatives implemented, and evaluating information in publicly available analyst reports. We involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in evaluating the discount rate by independently developing a discount rate range using publicly available market data for comparable entities.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company follows accounting standards established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)FASB to ensure consistent reporting of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. References to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”)GAAP in these footnotesnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM, sometimes referredASC and ASUs.
Segment Reporting—On October 1, 2023, the Company changed the composition of its reportable segments to reflect the way that the Company's chief operating decision maker reviews the operating results, assesses performance and allocates resources. As a result, the advisor-focused Wealth Analytics business has been reclassified from the Envestnet Data & Analytics segment to the Envestnet Wealth Solutions segment. The segment change does not impact nonsegment results or the Company's consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows. All segment information presented within this Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 is presented in conjunction with the current organizational structure, with prior periods adjusted accordingly.
Correction of Immaterial Error—During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company identified that the arrangement with a third-party for the use of cloud hosted virtual servers which was previously accounted for as a finance lease transaction and included as a component of property and equipment, net in the codification or ASC.

consolidated balance sheets should have been recognized as a prepayment included within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company concluded that the classification of these transactions was immaterial in prior period financial statements and that amendment of previously filed reports was not required. However, the Company corrected this immaterial error in the prior years reported within this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

In the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022, these adjustments resulted in an increase to prepaid expenses and other current assets of $6.1 million, an increase to other assets of $7.9 million and a corresponding decrease to property and equipment, net of $14.0 million. In the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022, these adjustments resulted in an increase in direct expense of $2.0 million, an increase in general and administrative expense of $2.7 million and a corresponding decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of $4.7 million. In the consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022, these adjustments resulted in a decrease in net cash provided by operating activities of $18.7 million and a corresponding decrease in net cash used in financing activities of $18.7 million.

Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Envestnet and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Foreign Currency—Accounts for the Envestnet Wealth Solutions segment that are denominated in a non-U.S. currency have been remeasured using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. Certain accounts within the Envestnet Data & Analytics segment are recorded and measured in foreign currencies. The assets and liabilities for those subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates. Differences arising from these foreign currency translations are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders' equity. The

Company is also subject to gains and losses from foreign currency denominated transactions and the remeasurement of foreign currency denominated balance sheet accounts, both of which are included in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations.
Management Estimates—Management of the Company has made certain estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenuesrevenue and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Areas requiring the use of management estimates

Cash receivedFor certain services provided by third parties, the Company in advance ofevaluates whether it is the performance of services is deferred and recognized as revenue when earned. Certain portions of the Company’s revenues require management’s consideration of the nature of the client relationship in determining whether to recognize as revenue the gross amount billed or net amount retained after payments are made to providers for certain services related to the product or service offering.

The Company uses the following factors to determine whether to record revenueprincipal (revenue reported on a gross basis) or agent (revenue reported on a net basis:

·

the Company has a direct contract with the third party service provider;

·

the Company has discretion in establishing fees paid by the customer and fees due to the third party service provider; and

·

the Company has credit risk.

Whenbasis). Generally, the Company reports customer fees includeincluding charges for third party service providers where the Company has a direct contract with such third party service providers on a gross basis, whereas the amounts billed to its customers are recorded as revenue, recognizedand amounts paid to third party service providers are recorded as direct expense. The Company is the principal in the transaction because it controls the services before they are transferred to its customers. Control is evidenced by the Company equals the fee paid by the customer. The cost of revenues recognized by the Company is the amount duebeing primarily responsible to the third party service provider.

In instances where the Company does not have a direct contract with the third party service provider, the Company cannot exerciseits customers and having discretion in establishing pricing.

Subscription-Based Recurring Revenue—Subscription-based recurring revenue primarily consist of fees paid byfor providing customers continuous access to the Company’s platform for wealth management and financial wellness. The subscription-based fees generally include fixed fees and or usage-based fees.
Generally, the subscription services are substantially the same over each quarter and performed in a similar manner over the contract period, and are considered stand-ready promises. Quarterly subscription services are considered distinct as the customer can benefit from each increment of services on its own and fees dueeach quarter is separately identified in the contract, and services are considered to be a single performance obligation.
Certain subscription-based contracts include fixed and variable consideration. The amount of variable consideration that is included in the transaction price may be subject to constraint and included in the subscription-based recurring revenue only to the third party service provider,extent that is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. The Company utilizes the expected value method to estimate variable consideration based on available historical, current, and forecasted information.

The usage-based pricing generally resets each quarter and the Company does not have credit risk,pricing structure is generally consistent throughout the Company recordsterm of the revenue on a net basis.

Multiple Element Arrangements—When the Company enters into arrangements with multiple deliverables, exclusive of arrangements with software deliverables, it applies the FASB’s guidance for revenue arrangements with multiple deliverablescontract. The fixed fees are generally calculated and evaluates each deliverable to determine whether it represents a separate unit of accountingbilled quarterly in advance. The usage-based fees are generally calculated and are billed either monthly or quarterly based on the following criteria: (i) whetheractual usage and relate specifically to the delivered item has valuebenefits transferred to the customer on a stand-alone basis, and (ii) if the contract includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in the control of the Company. Revenueduring that quarter. Accordingly, revenue is allocated to each unitthe specific quarter in which services are performed.

Fixed fees are generally recognized on a ratable basis over the quarter beginning when the subscription services are made available to the customer, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of accounting or element basedthe subscription services. Usage-based revenue is recognized on relative selling prices. a monthly basis as the customer receives and consumes the benefit as the Company provides the services. Subscription-based fees are recognized in both the Envestnet Wealth Solutions and Envestnet Data & Analytics segments.
Professional Services and Other RevenueThe Company determines relative selling prices by using either (a) vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) if it exists; or (b) third-party evidence (“TPE”) of selling price. When neither VSOE nor TPE of selling price exists for a deliverable, the Company uses its best estimate of the selling price for that deliverable.

After determining which deliverables represent a separate unit of accounting, each unit is then accounted for under the applicable revenue recognition guidance. In cases where elements cannot be treated as separate units of accounting, the elements are combined into a single unit of accounting for revenue recognition purposes. If one of the elements that are combined into a single unit of accounting is fees fromearns professional services including implementation relatedfees by providing contractual customized services or customized serviceand platform software development as well as initial implementation fees. Professional services contracts generally have one performance obligation, fixed prices, and generally specify the deliverables in the contract. Certain professional serviceservices contracts are billed on a time and materials basis and revenue is recognized over time as the services are performed. For contracts billed on a fixed price basis, revenue is recognized over time based on the proportion of services performed. Initial implementation fees are fixed and are generally recognized ratably over the coursecontract term. 

Other revenue is not significant and primarily includes revenue related to the Advisor Summit which is recognized when the event is held.
Professional services and other revenue is recognized in both the Envestnet Wealth Solutions and Envestnet Data & Analytics segments.
Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations—Certain of the expected customer relationship. We have estimated the life of the customer relationship by considering both the historical retention rate of ourCompany’s contracts with customers while not exceeding the number of years over which we can accurately forecast future revenues. We currently estimate this term to be five years.

multiple performance obligations, such as a platform services performance obligation and a professional services performance obligation. For revenues that are subject to sales and use tax and that were billed to customers,such arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling prices of services are estimated based on observable transactions when these services are sold on a standalone basis or based on expected cost plus margin.

Remaining Performance Obligations—Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations. The disclosure includes estimates of variable consideration. The Company applies the practical expedients and exemption not to disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i)

contracts with an original expected length of one year or less; (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed; and (iii) contracts for which the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct service that forms part of a single performance obligation.

Contract Balances—The Company records contract liabilities (deferred revenue) when cash payments are received in advance of its performance. The term between invoicing date and when payment is due is generally not significant. For the tax net withinmajority of its arrangements, the corresponding revenue category inCompany requires advance quarterly payments before the consolidated statements of operations.

Deferred Revenue—RevenueDeferred revenue primarily consists of implementation and set up fees, professional services and licensesubscription fee payments received in advance from customers. For subscription agreements, the Company typically invoices its customers in monthly or annual fixed installments. Accordingly, the deferred revenue balance does

not represent the total contract value of these multi-year subscription agreements. Deferred revenue also includes certain deferred professional services fees, which are recognized in accordance withSales Incentive Compensation—Sales incentive compensation earned by the Company’s revenue recognition policy.

Costsales force is considered an incremental and recoverable cost to acquire a contract with a customer. Sales incentive compensation for initial contracts is deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of Revenues—Costbenefit. The Company determined the period of revenuesbenefit by taking into consideration its customer contracts, life of the technology and other factors. Sales incentive compensation for renewal contracts are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the related contractual renewal period. Deferred sales incentive compensation is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets and amortization expense is included in employee compensation expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.


The Company has applied the practical expedient to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are included in employee compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Direct Expense—Direct expense primarily includes expenses related to third party investment management and clearing, custody and brokerage services. Generally, these expenses are calculated based upon a contractual percentage of the market value of assets held in customer accounts measured as of the end of each quarter and are recognized ratably throughout the quarter based on the number of days in the quarter.

Also included in direct expense are vendor specific expenses related to the direct support of revenue associated with the Envestnet Data & Analytics products.


Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—AccountsThe Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts for potentially uncollectible fees receivable. In establishing the amount of the allowance, if any, customer-specific information is considered related to delinquent accounts, including historical loss experience and current economic conditions. As of December 31, 2017, 20162023 and 2015,2022, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $407, $242$2.3 million and $221,$2.6 million, respectively. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents—EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents.

Such indicators include, but are not limited to, limited capital resources, limited prospects of receiving additional financing, and prospectstemporary, the Company assesses the investment for liquidity of the related securities.impairment. Impaired investments are written down to estimated fair value. The Company estimates fairFair value is estimated using a variety of valuation methodologies, including comparing the investee with publicly traded companies in similar lines of business, applying valuation multiples to estimated future operating results and analyzing estimated discounted future cash flows. There were $0, $734 and $0 in impairmentsFor the year ended December 31, 2023 an impairment, or downward adjustment due to investments duringobservable transactions, of $2.0 million was recognized for these investments. No such charge was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2017, 20162022 and 2015, respectively. See “Note 9 Other Non-Current Assets.”

For investments where the Company owns equity interests in privately held companies though does not have significant influence and there is no readily determinable fair value, it accounts for the investment under the measurement alternative at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus fair value changes when there are observable price changes.

Property and Equipment—EquipmentProperty and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of furnitureproperty and equipment, outside of leasehold improvements and land, is computed using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic useful lives or the remaining lease term, whichever is shorter. Improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred. Assets are reviewed for recoverability whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

There were immaterial impairments of property and equipment for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2021. There were $5.1 million of impairments of property and equipment for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Internally Developed Software for Internal Use—UseCosts incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. The Company also capitalizes costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred. Internally developed software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. There were noimmaterial impairments of internally developed software for internal use duringfor the years ended December 31, 2017, 20162023, 2022 and 2015.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets—Goodwill consists of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment each year using a qualitative or quantitative process that is performed at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate a likely reduction in the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company has concluded that impairment may have occurred. it has two reporting units.
The Company performs the annual impairment analysis on October 31 in order to provide management time to complete the analysis prior to year-end. The Company has concluded that it has two reporting units.

Prior to performing the quantitative evaluation, an assessment of qualitative factors may be performed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value. If it is determined that it is unlikely that the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the Company is not required to complete the quantitative goodwill impairment evaluation. If it is determined that the carrying value may exceed fair value when considering qualitative factors, a quantitative goodwill impairment evaluation is performed.

When performing the quantitative evaluation, if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss equal to the difference will be recorded.

No goodwill impairment charges have beenwere recorded for the years ended December 31, 2017, 20162022 and 2015.

Intangible AssetsIntangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization of intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of the assets. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances may affect the recoverability of the net assets. Such reviews include an analysis of current results and take into consideration the undiscounted value of projected operating cash flows. No material intangible asset impairment charges have been recorded for the years ended December 31, 2017, 20162023, 2022 and 2015. 

Operating Leases—In certain circumstances,2021. 

Leases—The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC 842 and has elected the available package of practical expedients as well as elected to apply the short-term lease exemption to all of its classes of underlying assets.
At inception, the Company enters intodetermines if an arrangement is a lease. Operating leases with free rent periods, rent escalations orare included in ROU assets, operating lease incentives overliabilities and operating lease liabilities, net of current portion in the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term ofand lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. In such cases,Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the Company calculates the totalpresent value of lease payments over the termremaining lease term. The operating lease ROU asset also includes prepaid payments and excludes lease incentives. As none of the Company's leases provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. The Company has elected the practical expedient to account for non-lease components as part of the lease component for all asset classes. The majority of the Company's lease agreements are real estate leases.
Fair Value Measurements—The Company accounts for its fair value measurements in accordance with ASC 825, which provides companies the option to report selected financial assets and records them ratably as rent expense overliabilities at fair value and also requires entities to display the fair value of the selected assets and liabilities on the face of the balance sheets. The Company has not elected the ASC 825-10 option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value.
ASC 825-10 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that term.

choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities and to more easily understand the effect of the Company’s choice to use fair value on its earnings.

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy established by GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into the following levels:
Level I:Inputs based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level II:Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs that are observable and can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level III:Inputs reflect management’s best estimates and assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation of the instruments.

The carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, fees receivable, net and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.

Income Taxes—TaxesThe Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is

Envestnet, Inc.

recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

The Company follows authoritative guidance related to how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, disclosed and presented in the consolidated financial statements. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained “when challenged” or “when examined” by the applicable tax authority. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from tax positions are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Non-income Tax Liabilities—Certain of the Company’s revenues are subject to sales and use taxes in certain jurisdictions where it conducts business in the United States. During 2017 and 2016, the Company estimated that a sales and use tax liability of $8,522 and $10,108, respectively, was probable related to multiple taxing jurisdictions with respect to revenues in the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and prior years. This amount is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. For the same periods, the Company also estimated a sales and use tax receivable of $2,704 and $3,879, respectively, related to estimated recoverability of amounts due from customers. This amount is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

For the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we recognized net sales and use tax expense of $345 and $6,229, including interest of approximately $244 and $914, respectively. The sales and use tax adjustment was recorded in general and administration on the consolidated statements of operations. Additional future information obtained from the applicable jurisdictions may affect the Company’s estimate of its sales and use tax liability. 

Business Combinations—CombinationsThe Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method. The cost of an acquired company is assigned to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed on the basis of their fair values at the date of acquisition. The determination of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to make estimates and use valuation techniques when market values are not readily available. Any excess of purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired is allocated to goodwill. Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred. The Company determines the fair value of contingent acquisition consideration payable on the acquisition date using a discounted cash flow approach utilizing an appropriate discount rate. Each reporting period thereafter, the Company revalues these obligations and records increases or decreases in their fair value as adjustments to fair market value adjustment onto contingent consideration in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Changes in the fair value of the contingent acquisition consideration payable can result from adjustments to the estimated revenue forecasts included in the contingent paymentconsideration calculations.

Stock-Based Compensation—CompensationCompensation cost relating to stock-based awards made to employees and directors is recognized in the consolidated financial statements using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model in the case of non-qualified stock option awards, and intrinsic value in the case of restricted stock awards. The Company measures the cost of such awards based on the estimated fair value of the award measured at the grant date and recognizes the expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.

Determining the fair value of stock options requires the Company to make several estimates, including the volatility of its stock price, the expected life of the option, forfeiture rate, dividend yield and interest rates. The Company estimates the expected life of its options using historical internal forfeiture data. The Company estimates stock-price volatility using historical third-party quotes of Envestnet’sthe Company's common stock. The Company utilizes a risk-free interest rate, which is based on the yield of U.S. zero coupon securities with a maturity equal to the expected life of the options. The Company has not and does not expect to pay dividends on its common shares.

The Company is required to estimate expected forfeitures of stock-based awards at the grant date and recognize compensation cost only for those awards expected to vest. The forfeiture assumption is ultimately adjusted to the actual forfeiture rate. Therefore, changes in the forfeiture assumptions may impact the total amount of expense ultimately recognized over the vesting period. Estimated forfeitures will be reassessed in subsequent periods and may change based on new facts and circumstances.

Convertible NotesOn December 15, 2014, the Company issued $172,500 of 1.75% convertible notes due December 2019 (the “Convertible Notes”).  The Convertible Notes are accounted for in accordance with ASC 470-20.470. The Company has determined that the embedded conversion options in the Convertible Notes are not required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under GAAP. TheUpon adoption of ASU 2020-06, the Company separately accounts for the liability and equity components of Convertible Notes that can be settled in cash by allocatingas a single liability measured at amortized cost.

Capped Call Transactions—In November 2022, the proceeds from issuance betweenCompany entered into the liability component andCapped Call Transactions with the embedded conversion option, or equity component, in accordance with accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (including partial cash settlement) upon conversion.Capped Call Counterparties.

Holders of the Convertible Notes due 2027 do not have a conversion feature, as of the issuance date. The difference between the proceeds from the convertible debt issuance and the amount measured as the liability component is recorded as the equity componentany rights with a corresponding discount recorded on the debt. The Company recognizes the accretion of the resulting discount using the effective interest method as part of interest expense in its consolidated statements of operations.

Non-controlling Interest—Effective February 1, 2014, the Company formed ERS with various third parties. ERS offers advisory and technology enabled services to financial advisors and retirement plans. In exchange for a 64.5% ownership interest in ERS, the Company contributed certain assets and has agreed to fund a certain amount of the operating expenses of ERS. As described in “Note 3 – Business Acquisitions,” primarily duerespect to the issuance of units related to the contributions of FinaConnect, Inc. (“FinaConnect”) and Castle Rock Innovations, Inc. (“Castle Rock”) and the purchase of additional ERS units acquired from the former owners of Klein Decisions, Inc. (“Klein”), the Company’s ownership in ERS increased to 80.8% as of December 31, 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company purchased an additional 15 units, which increased the Company’s ownership percentage to 81.5% as of December 31, 2017.

The allocation of gains and losses to the members of ERS is based on a hypothetical liquidation book value method in accordance with the ERS operating agreement. There were no losses for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, reflected as non-controlling interest in the consolidated statements of operations.  

Recent Accounting Pronouncements—In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 is based on principles that govern the recognition of revenue at an amount an entity expects to be entitled when products are transferred to customers.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 to amend ASU 2014-09 by approving a one-year deferral of the effective date as well as providing the option to early adopt the standard on the original effective date. Accordingly, the Company will adopt the standard in its first quarter of 2018.

The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial adoption. The standard also allows entities to apply certain practical expedients at their discretion. The Company will adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach with  a cumulative catch up adjustment and will provide additional disclosures comparing results to previous GAAP in our 2018 consolidated financial statements. We plan to apply the new revenue standard only to contracts not completed as of the date of initial application, referred to as open contracts. The Company has substantially completed the implementation of key systems changes and changes to internal controls over financial reporting to allow the Company to timely compile the information needed to account for transactions under this new guidance.

In adopting ASU 2014-09, the Company expects the following significant changes:

i)

As the Capped Call Transactions are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the Convertible Notes due 2027, they were evaluated as freestanding instruments under FASB Topic 480 - Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The Company concluded that the Capped Call Transactions meet the scope exceptions for derivative instruments under FASB Topic 815 - Derivatives and Hedging. As such, the Capped Call Transactions meet the criteria for classification in thousands, exceptequity and are included as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.

Non-controlling Interest—In March 2018, the Company initially acquired a 43% fully diluted interest in a private company for cash consideration of $1.3 million. In connection with the acquisition, the Company was granted the ability to appoint two members to the private company's board of directors. The Company’s two appointed members hold the majority of the private company’s board voting rights until December 31, 2024. As a result, the Company uses the consolidation method of accounting for this investment. The private company was formed to enable financial advisors to provide insurance and income protection products to their clients.

In February 2016,October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases”.2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities.” This update amends the requirements forASC 805 Business Combinations to add contract assets and contract liabilities recognized for all leases longer than twelve months. Lessees will be required to the list of exceptions to the recognition and measurement principles that apply to business combinations and to require that an entity (acquirer) recognize a lease liability measured on a discounted basis, which is the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.measure contract assets and contract liabilities in accordance with ASC 606. This standard will be effective for financial statements issued by public companies for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, The FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. This update is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of accounting for share-based payments; however, some changes may also increase volatility in reported earnings. Under the new guidance, all excess tax benefits and deficiencies will be recorded as an income tax benefit or expense in the income statement and excess tax benefits will be recorded as an operating activity in the statements of cash flows. The new guidance also allows withholding up to the maximum individual statutory tax rate without classifying the awards as a liability. The cash paid to satisfy the statutory income tax withholding obligation will be classified as a financing activity in the statements of cash flows. Lastly, the update allows forfeitures to be estimated or recognized when they occur. The requirements for the excess tax effects related to share-based payments at settlement must be applied on a prospective basis, and the other requirements under this standard are to be applied on a retrospective basis. This standard will be effective for financial statements issued by public companies for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. These changes became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2017 and have been reflected in these consolidated financial statements. As a result2022. Early adoption of the retrospective adoption of ASU 2016-09, for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, net cash provided by operating activities increased by $4,455 and $17,607, respectively, with a corresponding offset to net cash used in financing activities. The Company did not elect an accounting policy change to record forfeitures as they occur and will continue to estimate forfeitures at each period.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” which clarifies eight specific cash flow issues in an effort to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified within the statements of cash flows. This ASU is effective for the Company January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the ASU requires a retrospective application unless it is determined that it is impractical to do so for which it must be retrospectively applied at the earliest date practical. We will adopt the standard effective January 1, 2018. Upon adoption, the Company does not anticipate

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350),” which removes step two from the goodwill impairment test. As a result, an entity should perform its annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting units’ fair value. This standard will be effective for financial statements issued by public companies for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The amendment is to be applied prospectively to business combinations occurring on or after the effective date of the amendment.

Acquisition of Proprietary Technology

The Company previously owned approximately 29% of the transactionoutstanding units in a privately held company and accounted for it as an equity method investment. On March 11, 2021, the knowledge and experienceCompany entered into an intellectual property purchase agreement with this privately held company to acquire all of the workforce in place.proprietary technology developed by the privately held company for approximately $35.5 million. Concurrent with the intellectual property purchase agreement, the Company also entered into a redemption agreement with the same privately held company to redeem the Company's previously held equity interest for approximately $10.0 million. The goodwill is not deductibleCompany accounted for income tax purposes.

The estimated consideration transferred in the acquisitionthese two arrangements as a single unit of account. As of the acquisition date, the net cost of the proprietary technology acquired, including capitalized transaction costs, was approximately $24.5 million, which will be amortized over a five-year period on a straight-line basis. The proprietary technology has been integrated into the Envestnet Wealth Solutions segment.

Envestnet, Merger Sub was merged (the “Merger”) with and into Yodlee with Yodlee continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of Envestnet.

Yodlee, operating as Envestnet | Yodlee is a leading data aggregation and data analytics platform powering dynamic, cloud-based innovation for digital financial services.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Yodlee stockholders received $11.51 in cash and 0.1889 of a share of Envestnet common stock per Yodlee share.  Based upon the volume weighted average price per share of Envestnet common stock for the ten consecutive trading days ending on (and including) November 17, 2015, the second trading day immediately prior to completion of the Merger, Yodlee stockholders received total consideration with a value of $17.49 per share.

Net cash consideration totaled approximately $375,658 and the Company issued approximately 5,974,000 shares of Envestnet common stock to Yodlee stockholders in the Merger.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company recognized a liability in the amount of $10,061, which represented $17.49 in cash for each share of Yodlee common stock held by them. Although the Company believed the fair value of these shares did not exceed the consideration paid in the Acquisition, nevertheless, during the first quarter of 2016, the Company settled the appraisal claim in order to avoid the costs, uncertainties, disruptions and distraction of potential litigation. The difference between the liability as of December 31, 2015 and the settlement amount resulted in an increase to goodwill and total consideration paid.

The goodwill arising from the acquisition represents the expected synergistic benefits of the transaction, primarily related to an increase in future revenuesrevenue as a result of potential cross selling opportunities, and new lines of business, as well as lower future operating expenses.  The goodwill is also relatedenhancements to the knowledge and experience of the workforce in place.Company's existing technologies.

The Company follows ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments, which provides companies the option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. ASC 825-10 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities and to more easily understand the effectfollowing table presents a reconciliation of the company’s choicebeginning and ending liability balance related to use fair value on its earnings. ASC 825-10 also requires entities to display the fair value of the selected assetsthese efforts, which is primarily included within accrued compensation and liabilities on the face of the balance sheet. The Company has not elected the ASC 825-10 option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value.

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair valuerelated taxes in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy established by U.S. GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into the following levels:

Level I:

Inputs based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level II:

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs that are observable and can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level III::

Inputs reflect management’s best estimates and assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation of the instruments.

(1)

The fair values of the Company’s investments in money-market funds are based on the daily quoted market prices for the net asset value of the various money market funds.

(2)

The deferred compensation asset fair value is based upon the cash surrender value of the life insurance premiums. The Company recognized immaterial gains related to this asset within the statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017.

(3)

The deferred compensation liability is included in other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and its fair market value is based on the daily quoted market prices for the net asset value of the various funds in which the participants have selected.

Level I assets and liabilities include money-market funds not insured by the FDIC,  deferred compensation liability and the revolving credit facility. The Company periodically invests excess cash in money-market funds not insured by the FDIC. The Company believes that the investments in money market funds are on deposit with creditworthy financial institutions and that the funds are highly liquid. These money-market funds are considered Level 1 and are included in cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the deferred compensation liability is based upon the daily quoted market prices for net asset value on the various funds selected by participants. The outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility approximated fair value as the revolving credit facility bore interest at variable rates and we believe our credit risk quality was consistent with when the debt originated.

(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

Level II liabilities consist of Convertible Notes and Term Notes in which the Company uses observable market prices to determine the fair value. The outstanding value of our Term Notes approximated fair value as the Term Notes bore interest at variable rates and we believe our credit risk quality was consistent with when the debt originated through July 18, 2017, at which time the Second Amended and Restated Credit Facility replaced the Term Notes with the revolving credit facility.

Level III liabilities consist of the estimated fair value of contingent consideration as well as the deferred compensation asset. The fair market value of the deferred compensation asset is based upon the cash surrender value of the life insurance premiums.

The fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities related to the FinaConnect and Wheelhouse acquisitions were estimated using a discounted cash flow method with significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a Level III fair value measurement as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The significant inputs in the Level III measurement not supported by market activity included our assessments of expected future cash flows related to our acquisitions of FinaConnect and Wheelhouse during the subsequent periods from the date of acquisition, appropriately discounted considering the uncertainties associated with the obligation, and calculated in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

The Company utilized a discounted cash flow method with expected future performance of FinaConnect and Wheelhouse, and their ability to meet the target performance objectives as the main driver of the valuation, to arrive at the fair values of their respective contingent consideration. The Company will continue to reassess the fair value of the contingent consideration for each acquisition at each reporting date until settlement. Changes to the estimated fair values of the contingent consideration will be recognized in earnings of the Company and included in general and administration on the consolidated statements of operations.

The table below presents a reconciliation of contingent consideration liabilities of which the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level III) for the period from December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2017:

The asset value was increased due to funding of the plan as well as immaterial gains on the underlying investment vehicles, which resulted in an asset value of $5,185 as of December 31, 2017, which was included in other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company assesses categorization of assets and liabilities by level at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer, in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy regarding the recognition of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between Levels I, II and III during the year.

On December 15, 2014, the Company issued $172,500 of Convertible Notes. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the carrying value of the 2019 Convertible Notes equaled $158,990 and $152,575, respectively, and represents the aggregate principal amount outstanding less the unamortized discount and debt issuance costs. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the fair value of the Convertible Notes was $180,180 and $164,824, respectively.  The Company considers the Convertible Notes to be a Level II liability as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and uses a market approach to calculate the fair value of the Convertible Notes. The estimated fair value was determined based on the estimated or actual bids and offers of the Convertible Notes in an over-the-counter market on or near December 31, 2017 (see “Note 12 – Debt”).

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, there was $0 and $142,000, respectively, of Term Notes outstanding. The July 18, 2017 amendment to the Prior Credit Facility replaced the Term Notes and related excess cash flow payment obligations with a revolving line of credit. As of December 31, 2016, the outstanding value of our Term Notes approximated fair value as the Term Notes bore interest at variable rates and we believed our credit risk quality was consistent with when the debt originated. As of December 31, 2016, the carrying value of the Term Notes equaled $138,335, and represents the aggregate principal amount outstanding less the unamortized debt issuance costs. The Company considered the Term Notes to be a  Level II liability as of December 31, 2016 (see “Note 12 – Debt”).

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, there was $81,168 and $0, respectively, outstanding on the revolving credit facility under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility approximated fair value as the revolving credit facility bore interest at variable rates and we believed our credit risk quality was consistent with when the debt originated. The Company considered the revolving credit facility to be a Level I liability as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 (see “Note 12 – Debt”).

We consider the recorded value of our other financial assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, to approximate the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities at December 31, 2017 based upon the short-term nature of the assets and liabilities.

The Company’s stated policy is to settle the debt component of the Convertible Notes at least partially or wholly in cash. This policy is based both on the Company’s intent and the Company’s ability to settle these instruments in cash.

The Company has separately accounted for the liability and equity components of the Convertible Notes by allocating the proceeds from issuance of the Convertible Notes between the liability component and the embedded conversion option, or equity component. This allocation was done by first estimating an interest rate at the time of issuance for similar notes that do not include the embedded conversion option. The Company allocated $26,618 to the equity component, net of offering costs of $882. The Company recorded a discount on the Convertible Notes of $27,500 which will be accreted and recorded as additional interest expense over the life of the Convertible Notes. During 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized $5,472, $5,237 and $4,932, respectively, in accretion related to the discount. The effective interest rate of the liability component of the Convertible Notes is equal to the stated interest rate plus the accretion of original issue discount. The effective interest rate on the liability component of the Convertible Notes for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was approximately 6%.

In connection with the pricing of the following:

Convertible Notes due 2027, the Company entered into privately negotiated Capped Call Transactions for a total cost of approximately $79.6 million. The Capped Call Transactions initially cover the number of shares of the Company's common stock underlying the Convertible Notes due 2027, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The Capped Call Transactions generally are expected to reduce the potential dilutive effect on the common stock upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes due 2027 and/or offset any potential cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Convertible Notes due 2027, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap, subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions. The Capped Call Transactions allow the Company to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at a strike price equal to the initial conversion price of $73.37 per share and are subject to a cap of $110.74 per share, subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions. The options underlying the Capped Call Transactions can, at the Company’s option, remain outstanding until the maturity date for the Convertible Notes due 2027 of December 1, 2027, even if all or a portion of the Convertible Notes due 2027 are converted, repurchased or redeemed prior to such date.

No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total revenue.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of December 31, 2023, the Company's estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations associated with existing customer contracts that are partially or wholly unsatisfied is approximately $534.2 million. We expect to recognize approximately 41% of this revenue in 2024, approximately 45% throughout 2025 and 2026, with the balance recognized thereafter.

Contract Balances

Total deferred revenue increased $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily the result of timing of cash receipts and revenue recognition. The majority of the Company's deferred revenue as of December 31, 2023 will be recognized over the course of the next twelve months.

The amount of revenue recognized for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 that was included in the opening deferred revenue balance was $35.6 million and $33.1 million, respectively. The majority of this revenue consists of subscription-based services and professional services arrangements. The amount of revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods was not material.

Deferred Sales Incentive Compensation

Deferred sales incentive compensation was $11.5 million and $11.0 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Amortization expense for deferred sales incentive compensation was $4.8 million and $4.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

19.Stock-Based Compensation
On June 22, 2010, the Board of Directors approved the 2010 Plan, effective upon the closing of the Company’s initial public offering. The 2010 Plan provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, Full Value Awards (as defined in the 2010 Plan agreement) and cash incentive awards to employees, consultants and non-employee directors to purchase common stock, which vest over time and have a maximum ten-year contractual term. As approved by the Company’s shareholders, the 2010 Plan has since been amended whereby the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be delivered under the 2010 Plan is 12,375,000. Stock options and stock appreciation rights are granted with an exercise price no less than the fair-market-value price of the common stock at the date of the grant. As of December 31, 2023, the maximum number of options and restricted stock available for future issuance under the Company’s plans is 1,819,036.

As a result of the PIEtech acquisition in 2019, the Company adopted the 2019 Equity Plan in order to make inducement grants to certain PIEtech employees who joined Envestnet | MoneyGuide. Envestnet agreed to grant at future dates, not earlier than the sixty day anniversary of the PIEtech Acquisition, up to 301,469 shares of Envestnet common stock in the form of RSUs and PSUs pursuant to the 2019 Equity Plan. The RSUs vest over time and the PSUs vest upon the achievement of meeting certain performance conditions as well as a subsequent service condition. The Company recognizes the estimated expense on a graded-vesting method over a requisite service period of three to five years, which is the estimated vesting period. The Company estimates the expected vesting amount and recognizes compensation expense only for those awards expected to vest. This estimate is reassessed by management each reporting period and may change based upon new facts and circumstances. Changes in assumptions impact the total amount of expense and are recognized over the vesting period.
Stock-based compensation expense under the Company's plans was as follows:

Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units

Periodically, the Company grants restricted stock units and performance-based stock units to employees. Restricted stock units vest one-third on the first anniversary of the grant date and quarterly thereafter. Performance-based restricted units vest upon the achievement of certain pre-established business and financial metrics as well as a subsequent service condition. The business and financial metrics governing the vesting of these performance-based restricted stock units provide thresholds that dictate the number of shares to vest upon each evaluation date, which range from 0% to 150% of the original grant number. If these metrics are achieved, as defined in the individual grant terms, these shares would cliff vest three years from the grant date.

The following is a summary of the activity for non-vested restricted stock units granted under the Company’s plans:

On December 22, 2017 the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the Act”) was signed into law. The Act significantly changes U.S. income tax law and is the first major overhaul of the federal income tax code in more than 30 years. Key provisions of the Act that may impact the Company include: (i) reduction of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, (ii) repeal of the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”) system (iii) replacement of the worldwide taxation system with a territorial tax system which exempts certain foreign operations from U.S. taxation, (iv) further limitation on the deductibility of certain executive compensation, (v)  modification of earnings calculations for certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred to a one-time tax, (vi)  creation of a new minimum tax on certain foreign earnings and a new base erosion anti-abuse tax, (vii) allowance for immediate capital expensing of certain qualified property, (viii) limitation on the deduction for net interest expense incurred by a U.S. corporation, and (ix) modification and/or repeal of a number of other international provisions.

The Company recognized the income tax effects of the Act in its 2017 financial statements in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 which provides SEC staff guidance for the application of ASC Topic 740.

The Company has completed its assessment for the income tax effects of the Act for the following items:

·

Repeal of the corporate AMT system: Existing AMT credits as of December 31, 2017 will be refunded over the next five years. The Company has determined that it will receive a refund of existing AMT credits equal to $1,330. The valuation allowance previously recorded against these credits has been released for this amount and a tax benefit of $1,330 was recorded as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations.

The Company has not completed its assessment for the income tax effects of the Act but has recorded a reasonable estimate of the effects for the items below. The Company anticipates completing the analyses for these estimates by the fourth quarter of 2018, within the one year measurement period for the following items:

·

One-time tax on deferred foreign earnings: The Company does not believe that the one-time tax on deferred foreign earnings will have a material impact on their tax provision due to the ability to fully offset any tax with foreign tax credits and net operating losses (“NOL”). However, the calculation of earnings and profits through 2017 has been estimated and will be finalized when the tax returns are filed; and    

·

Re-measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities: Deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to the U.S. were re-measured from 35% to the reduced tax rate of 21%. The Company recorded a

provisional amount of $13,792 for the re-measurement; however, the majority of the change was offset by a change in valuation allowance leaving a benefit of $810  recorded as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations; and    

·

Elimination of executive compensation exemptions: The Act made major changes to the $1,000 limit on deductible compensation paid to certain executive employees. The Act eliminated exemptions for qualified performance based compensation and compensation paid after termination and expanded the number of employees to which the limit applies. The Company does not believe that the elimination of executive compensation exemptions will have a material impact on its deferred tax assets. The Act contains transitional rules, the implementation of which is not entirely clear at this time. The Company is still analyzing related aspects of the Act including the impact of the transitional rules. The provisional assessment above may change when further guidance is released that addresses these rules.

The Company has not completed its assessment for the income tax effects of the Act and is unable to calculate a reasonable estimate of such effect for the items below. The Company anticipates completing the analysis for these items by the fourth quarter of 2018, within the one year measurement period:

·

Changes to international taxation: The Act modifies various aspects of international taxation and the application of these changes to the current foreign tax credit system is unclear. These rules are complex and require further clarity through the issuance of regulations and final technical interpretation. The Company has a deferred tax asset of $2,459 relating to foreign tax credits that carry a full valuation allowance. Depending upon the final interpretation of the new Act, it may be more likely than not that realization of a portion of the credits may occur. The Company has determined that a reasonable estimate cannot be made at this time. Information needed to complete the accounting is as follows: (i) final technical analysis of the new tax law, and (ii) finalization of necessary calculations, including an assessment on how these new provisions will impact the utilization of these credits in the future; and 

·

Sequestration charge on AMT credits: As stated above, the Company expects to receive a refund of existing AMT credits as of December 31, 2017 of $1,330. The refund may or may not be subject to a 6-7% sequestration charge. The application of this charge is unclear at this time. Clarification on the application of this charge is needed to complete the accounting for this item.

The valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 20172023 and 20162022 was $32,513$107.8 million and $29,610,$88.6 million, respectively. The change in the valuation allowance from 20162022 to 20172023 was primarily related to the amortization of book intangibleincreased deferred tax assets which increased thefor R&D expenditures, original issue discount on convertible debt, and additional valuation allowance on state R&D tax credits and the change in the federal tax rate due to the Act, which reduced the value of the ending valuation allowance.net operating loss carryforwards. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence is the cumulative pre-tax loss incurred over the three-year periodthree years ended December 31, 2017.2023. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as ourthe Company's projections for future growth.

On the basis of this evaluation, as of December 31, 2017,2023, a valuation allowance of $32,513 was$107.8 million has been recorded to offsetrecord only the portion of the deferred tax assets for which the Companyasset that is not at more likely than not that they willto be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced or increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of

Notes to December 31, 2017, the Company did not claim permanent reinvestment of our accumulated foreign earnings, and recorded taxes on these earnings. The amount of this estimated liability at December 31, 2016 was approximately $4,500. As of December 31, 2017, the Company changed our position on this matter and has now claimed permanent reinvestment on accumulated earnings of approximately $20,600. The reinvested foreign earnings of the Company will be used to fund future foreign acquisitions, capital expenditures, headcount expansion and other operating expenses. As these earnings will be permanently reinvested in the foreign jurisdictions, deferred taxes will not be recorded.

As of both December 31, 2017 and 2016, a maximum of 1,956,390 shares may yet be purchased under this program.

16.        Stock-Based Compensation

On December 31, 2004, the Company adopted a stock incentive plan (the “2004 Plan”). The 2004 Plan provided for the grant of options to employees, consultants, and non-employee directors to purchase common stock, which vest over time and have a ten -year contractual term. To satisfy options granted under the 2004 Plan, the Company made common stock available from authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, if any, by the Company. Stock options granted under the 2004 Plan were non-stock options, as defined in the 2004 Plan agreement. Stock options were granted with an exercise price no less than the fair-market-value price of the common stock at the date of the grant.

The 2004 Plan has a change in control provision whereby if a change in control occurs and the participant’s awards are not equitably adjusted, such awards shall become fully vested and exercisable and all forfeiture restrictions on such awards shall lapse. Based on the terms of the 2004 Plan, the Company’s initial public offering in 2010 did not trigger the change in control provision and did not result in any modifications to the outstanding equity awards under the 2004 Plan.

On June 22, 2010, the Board of Directors approved the 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2010 Plan”), effective upon the closing of the Company’s initial public offering. The 2010 Plan provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, Full Value Awards (as defined in the 2010 Plan) and cash incentive awards to employees, consultants, and non-employee directors to purchase common stock, which vest over time and have a ten-year contractual term. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be delivered under the 2010 Plan is equal to the sum of 2,700,000 plus the number of shares of common stock that are subject to outstanding awards under the 2004 Plan which are forfeited, expire or are cancelled after the effective date of the Company’s initial public offering. Stock options and stock appreciation rights are granted with an exercise price no less than the fair-market-value price of the common stock at the date of the grant. On May 13, 2015 and July 13, 2017, the shareholders approved the 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan as Amended. The amendments increased the number of common shares of the Company reserved for delivery under the 2010 Plan by 2,700,000 shares and 3,525,000 shares, respectively.

As a result of the merger between Envestnet and Tamarac, the Company adopted the Envestnet, Inc. Management Incentive Plan for Envestnet | Tamarac Management Employees (the “2012 Plan”). The 2012 Plan provides for the grant of restricted common stock, stock options and the purchase of common stock for certain Envestnet | Tamarac employees. The maximum number of shares of stock which may be issued with respect to awards under the 2012 Plan is 1,023,851.

The 2012 Plan provides for the grant of up to 559,551 shares of common stock (“Target Incentive Awards”). The Target Incentive Awards vest based upon Tamarac meeting certain performance conditions and then a subsequent two-year service condition. The Company measured the cost of these awards based on the estimated fair value of the award as of the market closing price on the day before the acquisition closed. The Company is recognizing the estimated expense on a graded-vesting method over a requisite service period of three to five years, which is the estimated vesting period. The Company estimates the expected vesting amount and recognizes compensation expense only for those awards expected to vest. This estimate is reassessed by management each reporting period and may change based upon new facts and circumstances. Changes in the assumptions impact the total amount of expense and are recognized over the vesting period. As of December 31, 2017, all 559,551 shares of restricted stock have vested.

As a result of the merger between Envestnet and Yodlee, the Company adopted the Envestnet, Inc. 2015 Acquisition Equity Award Plan (the “2015 Plan”). The 2015 Plan provides for the assumption of all unvested equity awards previously granted pursuant to the Yodlee employees and the conversion of such awards into equity awards of the Company pursuant to the 2015 Plan.  No new awards are being made under the 2015 Plan. The maximum number of shares of stock which may be issued with respect to awards under the 2015 Plan is 1,058,807.

As of December 31, 2017, the maximum number of options and restricted stock available for future issuance under the Company’s plans is 3,960,729.

At December 31, 2017, there was $42,250 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock unit awards, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

The Company entered into employment agreements with certain executive officers, three of whom received a total of 205,000 performance-based restricted stock unit awards in May 2016 which vest upon the achievement of certain “Target Performance Measures” as defined in the employment agreements, for the periods ending December 31, 2016, December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018 and four of whom also received a total of 125,000 restricted stock units awards in August 2016 which vest quarterly thereafter.  The Target Performance Measures for the First and Second Performance Periods, as defined in the employment agreements, were achieved as of December 31, 2017.

In connection with the Yodlee merger, on November 19, 2015, the Company issued 1,052,000 shares of Envestnet restricted stock unit awards (“replacement awards”) issued in connection with unvested Yodlee employee equity awards. The Yodlee unvested stock options and unvested restricted stock units were canceled and exchanged for the replacement awards. In accordance with ASC 805, these awards are considered to be replacement awards. Exchanges of share options or other share-based payment awards in conjunction with a business combination are modifications of share-based payment awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718. As a result, a portion of the fair-value-based measure of the replacement awards, are included in measuring the consideration transferred in the Yodlee business combination. To determine the portion of the replacement award that is part of consideration transferred to acquire Yodlee, we have measured both the replacement awards granted by Envestnet and the historical Yodlee awards as of November 19, 2015 in accordance with ASC 718. The portion of the fair-value-based measure of the replacement award that is part of the consideration transferred in exchange for the acquisition of Yodlee, equals the portion of the Yodlee award that is attributable to pre-combination service. Envestnet is attributing a portion of the replacement awards to post combination service as these awards require post combination service. The fair value of the rollover consideration was estimated to be $32,836 of which $4,318 was attributable to pre-acquisition services. The remaining fair value of $28,518 is amortizing over the 43 month vesting period subsequent to the acquisition date. As of December 31, 2017, the remaining amount of unrecognized expense totaled $4,719.

17.       22.Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. For the calculation of diluted earnings per share, the basic weighted average number of shares is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options, common warrants, restricted stock and Convertible Notes using the treasury stock method.

The Company accounts for the effect of the Convertible Notes on diluted net income per share using the treasury stock method since they may be settled in cash, shares or a combination thereof at the Company’s option. As a result, the Convertible Notes have no effect on diluted net loss per share until the Company’s stock price exceeds the conversion price of $62.88 per share, or if the trading price of the Convertible Notes meets certain criteria as described in “Note 12 – Debt.” In the period of conversion, the Convertible Notes will have no impact on diluted net income if the Convertible Notes are settled in cash and will have an impact on basic and diluted net income per share if the Convertible Notes are settled in shares upon conversion.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in computing basic and diluted net income per share(loss) attributable to common stockholders:

Purchase Obligations and Indemnifications

The Company includes various types of indemnification and guarantee clauses in certain arrangements. These indemnifications and guarantees may include, but are not limited to, infringement claims related to intellectual property, direct or consequential damages and guarantees to certain service providers and service level requirements with certain customers. The type and amount of any potential indemnification or guarantee varies substantially based on the nature of each arrangement. The Company has experienced no previous claims and cannot determine the maximum amount of potential future payments, if any, related to such indemnification and guarantee provisions. The Company believes that it is unlikely it will have to make material payments under these arrangements and therefore has not recorded a contingent liability associated with these arrangements in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company enters into unconditional purchase obligations arrangements for certain of its services that it receives in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2017,2023, the Company estimated future minimum unconditional purchase obligations are $27,425.

of approximately $150 million.

Legal Proceedings

The Company and its subsidiary, Yodlee, have been named as defendants in a lawsuit filed on July 17, 2019, by FinancialApps in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The case caption is FinancialApps, LLC v. Envestnet Inc., et al., No. 19-cv-1337 (D. Del.). FinancialApps alleges that, after entering into a 2017 services agreement with Yodlee, Envestnet and Yodlee breached the agreement and misappropriated proprietary information to develop competing credit risk assessment software. The complaint includes claims for, among other things, misappropriation of trade secrets, fraud, tortious interference with prospective business opportunities, unfair competition, copyright infringement and breach of contract. FinancialApps is seeking significant monetary damages and various equitable and injunctive relief.

On September 17, 2019, the Company and Yodlee filed a motion to dismiss certain of the claims in the complaint filed by FinancialApps, including the copyright infringement, unfair competition and fraud claims. On August 25, 2020, the District Court granted in part and denied in part the Company and Yodlee’s motion. Specifically, the Company and Yodlee prevailed on FinancialApps’ counts alleging copyright infringement and violations of the Illinois Deceptive Trade Practices Act. And while the Court was receptive to Envestnet and Yodlee’s argument that several of FinancialApps’ other counts are based on allegations that amount to copyright infringement—and therefore should fail due to copyright preemption—the Court found that FinancialApps had alleged enough conduct distinct from copyright infringement to survive dismissal at this early stage.

On October 30, 2019, the Company and Yodlee filed counterclaims against FinancialApps. Yodlee alleges that FinancialApps fraudulently induced it to enter into contracts with FinancialApps, then breached those contracts. FinancialApps has filed a motion to dismiss Yodlee’s counterclaims. On September 15, 2020, the District Court denied FinancialApps’ motion on all counts except for the breach-of-contract claim which was dismissed on a pleading technicality without prejudice. On that count, the Court granted Yodlee leave to amend its counterclaim, cure the technical deficiency, and reassert its claim. Yodlee and Envestnet filed amended counterclaims on September 30, 2020. The amended counterclaims (1) cure that technical deficiency and reassert Yodlee’s contract counterclaim; and (2) broaden the defamation counterclaims arising out of various defamatory statements FinancialApps disseminated in the trade press after filing the lawsuit. On January 14, 2021, the Court ordered that (i) FinancialApps' claims against Yodlee—as well as Yodlee’s counterclaims against FinancialApps—must be tried before the judge instead of a jury pursuant to a jury waiver provision in the parties’ agreement; and (ii) FinancialApps' claims against Envestnet (and Envestnet’s counterclaim) must be heard by a jury. The Court has scheduled the Envestnet jury trial to take place before the Yodlee bench trial. Fact discovery closed on April 23, 2021, other than a few outstanding matters, and expert discovery concluded on September 30, 2022. The parties’ respective summary judgment and motions to exclude the presentation of expert testimony (a “Daubert Motion”) are fully briefed and are awaiting final ruling. On July 25, 2023, the Magistrate Judge issued a report and recommendation that the Court grant FinancialApps’ summary judgment motion on Envestnet’s defamation counterclaim.The Magistrate Judge did not make a ruling as to Yodlee’s defamation counterclaim. On July 28, 2023, the Magistrate Judge denied Envestnet and Yodlee's Daubert motion to exclude FinancialApps' technical expert, Isaac Pflaum. On July 31, 2023, the Magistrate Judge issued a report and recommendation that the Court grant in part and deny in part Envestnet's summary judgment motion. The Magistrate Judge recommended that the motion be denied as to FinancialApps' vicarious liability theory and direct liability theory but recommended that the motion be granted with respect to the unjust enrichment count. The reports and recommendations are not final rulings, however, and the Company has filed objections against their adoption by the District Court. Those objections are fully briefed and pending before the District Court. On August 14, 2023, the Magistrate Judge granted-in-part and denied-in-part FinancialApps' Daubert motion to exclude Envestnet and Yodlee's technical expert. On September 13, 2023, the Magistrate Judge granted-in-part and denied-in-part Envestnet and Yodlee's Daubert motion to exclude FinancialApps' damages expert. On January 18, 2024, FinancialApps filed a motion seeking sanctions for purported spoliation of evidence against Yodlee and Envestnet. Yodlee and Envestnet filed a brief opposing the motion on February 22, 2024. The Company believes FinancialApps' allegations are without merit and will continue to defend the claims against it and litigate the counterclaims vigorously.

The Company and Yodlee were named as defendants in a putative class action lawsuit filed on August 25, 2020, by Plaintiff Deborah Wesch in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. On October 21, 2020, an
119

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

amended class action complaint was filed by Plaintiff Wesch and nine additional named plaintiffs. The case caption currently is Clark, et al., v. Yodlee, Inc. Case No. 3:20-cv-5991-SK (formerly entitled Deborah Wesch, et al., v. Yodlee, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:20-cv-05991-SK). Plaintiffs alleged that Yodlee unlawfully collected their financial transaction data when plaintiffs linked their bank accounts to a mobile application that uses Yodlee’s Instant Account Verification API, and plaintiffs further allege that Yodlee unlawfully sold the transaction data to third parties. The complaint alleged violations of certain California statutes and common law, including the Unfair Competition Law, and federal statutes, including the Stored Communications Act. Plaintiffs are seeking monetary damages and equitable and injunctive relief on behalf of themselves and a putative nationwide class and California subclass of persons who provided their log-in credentials to a Yodlee-powered app in an allegedly similar manner from 2014 to the present.

On November 4, 2020, the Company and Yodlee filed separate motions to dismiss all of the claims in the complaint. On February 16, 2021, the district court granted in part and denied in part Yodlee’s motion to dismiss the amended complaint and granted the plaintiffs leave to further amend. The court reserved ruling on the Company’s motion to dismiss and granted limited jurisdictional discovery to the plaintiffs. On March 15, 2021, Plaintiffs filed a second amended class action complaint re-alleging, among others, the claims the district court had dismissed. The second amended complaint did not allege any claims against the Company or Yodlee that were not previously alleged in first amended complaint. On May 5, 2021, the Company filed a motion to dismiss all claims asserted against it in the second amended complaint, and Yodlee filed a motion to dismiss most claims asserted against it in the second amended complaint. On July 19, 2021, the court granted in part Yodlee’s motion, resulting in the dismissal of all federal law claims and two of the state-law claims. On August 5, 2021, the Court granted the Company's motion to dismiss, and dismissed the Company from the lawsuit. On October 8, 2021, Yodlee filed an early motion for summary judgment. On August 12, 2022, Plaintiffs moved for leave to file a third amended complaint, which Yodlee opposed. On September 29, 2022, the Court denied Plaintiffs’ motion to amend the complaint. On December 13, 2022, the Court granted in part and denied in part Yodlee’s early motion for summary judgment, narrowing the scope of issues that remain to be resolved. On January 30, 2023, the Court granted Yodlee’s motion for reconsideration and dismissed one additional claim. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on September 19, 2023, which Yodlee answered on October 3, 2023. Yodlee believes the allegations are without merit and will continue to vigorously defend the remaining claims against it.

In addition, the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. Legal fees and other costs associated with such actions are expensed as incurred. The Company will record a provision for these claims when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss, or a range of the potential loss, can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed regularly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information or events pertaining to a particular case. Legal proceedings accruals are recorded when and if it is determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. For legal proceedingslitigation matters where a loss may be reasonably possible, but not probable, or is probable but not reasonably estimable, no accrual is established, but if the matter is material, it is subject to disclosures. The Company believes that liabilities associated with any claims, while possible, are not probable, and therefore has not recorded any accrual for any claims as of December 31, 2017.2023. Further, while any possible range of loss cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, the Company does not believe that the outcome of any of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, would, if determined adversely to it, have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or business, although an adverse resolution of legal proceedings could have a material adverse effect on Envestnet’sthe Company’s results of operations or cash flow in a particular quarter or year.

Contingencies

Certain of the Company’s revenues are subject to sales and use taxes in certain jurisdictions where it conducts business in the United States. During 2017 and 2016, the Company estimated that a sales and use tax liability of $8,522 and $10,108, respectively, was probable related to multiple taxing jurisdictions with respect to revenues in the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and prior years. This amount is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company also estimated a sales and use tax receivable of $2,704 and $3,879, respectively, related to the estimated recoverability of a portion of the liability from customers. This amount is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Additional future information obtained from the applicable jurisdictions may affect the Company’s estimate of its sales and use tax liability, but such change in the estimate cannot currently be made.

FolioDynamix

On January 2, 2018, pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of September 25, 2017, between the Company, Folio Dynamics Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FolioDynamix”), FCD Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Actua USA Corporation, a Delaware corporation, solely in its capacity as the representative of the stockholders of FolioDynamix, the Company completed the merger of Merger Sub with and into FolioDynamix, with FolioDynamix continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Acquisition”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The completion of the Acquisition on January 2, 2018 followed the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and third party consents.

In connection with the Acquisition, the Company paid $195,000 in cash for all the outstanding shares of FolioDynamix, subject to certain closing and post-closing adjustments. The Company funded the Acquisition price with a combination of cash on the Company’s balance sheet and with borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

FolioDynamix provides financial institutions, registered investment advisors, and other wealth management clients with an end-to-end technology solution paired with a suite of advisory tools including model portfolios, research, and overlay management services.

The acquisition of FolioDynamix added complementary trading tools as well as commission and brokerage support to the Company’s existing suite of offerings. The acquisition also added one RIA. The Company expects to integrate the technology and operations of FolioDynamix into the Company’s wealth management business, enabling the Company to further leverage its operating scale and data analytics capabilities.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

a.  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2017.2023. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a 15(e)13a-15(e) and 15d 15(e)15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, meansare defined as controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2017,2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

b. Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S.accounting principles generally accepted accounting principlesin the United States and include policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S.accounting principles generally accepted accounting principles,in the United States, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 20172023 using the criteria established in the updated Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the assessment, management determined that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017.

2023.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has issued a report concerning the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017.2023. See Part II, Item 8, “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” in Item 9A in this Form 10-K.

.

c. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the year ended December 31, 2017, improvements to the processes of financial reporting were implemented which include enhanced disclosure preparation and review controls, a condensed financial close process providing an increased time frame to prepare and review financial reporting documents, as well as streamlined financial data aggregation which increases reliance on system generated reports, thereby decreasing the likelihood of human error. In addition, management has reorganized the accounting department as well as increased its overall staffing levels.

During the three months ended December 31, 2017, the material weakness related to ineffective design and operation of internal controls over the accounting for non-routine transactions and the relevance and reliability of data used to prepare financial statement
