Debt as of December 31, 2023 consisted of $317.5 million in convertible notes maturing in 2025 and $575.0 million in convertible notes maturing in 2027. Envestnet's $500.0 million revolving credit facility was undrawn as of December 31, 2023.

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 Exhibit 99.1 for the quarter and full 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 periods reported within this Exhibit 99.1.

Outlook

Envestnet provided the following outlook for the first quarter ending March 31, 2024. This outlook is based on the market value of assets under management or administration on December 31, 2023. We caution that we cannot predict the market value of these assets on any future date. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

(1) Non-GAAP Financial Measures

“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, fair market value adjustment on investment in private company, litigation, regulatory and other governance related expenses, foreign currency, 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, fair market value adjustment to investment in private company, litigation, regulatory and other governance related expenses, foreign currency, 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 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.

For further information see reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures on pages 11-16 of this press release, and the section entitled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or our Investor Relations website at http://investor.envestnet.com/. Reconciliations are not provided for guidance on such measures as the Company is unable to predict the amounts to be adjusted, such as the GAAP tax provision. The Company’s Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be viewed as a substitute for revenue, net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share determined in accordance with GAAP.
