Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.Organization and Description of Business

Envestnet, Inc. (“Envestnet”) through its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is transforming the way financial advice and wellness are delivered. Its mission is to empower advisors and financial service providers with innovative technology, solutions and intelligence to make financial wellness a reality for everyone. Through a combination of platform enhancements, partnerships and acquisitions, Envestnet provides a unique financial network connecting technology, solutions and data, delivering better intelligence and enabling its customers to drive better outcomes.

Envestnet is organized around two primary, complementary business segments. Financial information about each business segment is contained in “Note 15—Segment Information” to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

2.Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2021 and the results of operations, equity, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the periods presented herein. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Accounts for the Envestnet Wealth Solutions segment that are denominated in a non-U.S. currency have been re-measured 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 revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates. Differences arising from these foreign currency translations are recorded in the unaudited condensed 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 expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. References to GAAP in these notes are to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification, sometimes referred to as the codification or “ASC.” These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2021.
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

This outbreak continues to cause disruptions to businesses and markets worldwide as the virus spreads. The extent of the effect on the Company’s operational and financial performance will continue to depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the pandemic, and governmental, regulatory and private sector responses, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. Although the Company is unable to estimate the overall financial effect of the pandemic at this time, as the pandemic continues, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. As of September 30, 2021, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments as a result of the pandemic.

Related Party Transactions

The Company has a 4.3% membership interest in a private services company that it accounts for using the equity method of accounting and is considered to be a related party. Revenues from the private services company totaled $4.2 million and $2.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Revenues from the private services company totaled $11.9 million and $8.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had recorded a net receivable of $3.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively, from the private services company.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements—In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This update aims to reduce complexity within the accounting for income taxes as part of the simplification initiative. This standard is effective for financial statements issued by public companies for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. These changes became effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2021. This standard will be applied prospectively. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity.” This update simplifies the accounting for certain convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models available for convertible debt instruments and revises Topic 815-40, which provides guidance on how an entity must determine whether a contract qualifies for a scope exception from derivative accounting. Under the new guidance, the embedded conversion features are no longer separated from the host contract for convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. The convertible debt instruments will be accounted for as a single liability measured at amortized cost. In addition, the new guidance requires the if-converted method to be applied for all convertible instruments. This standard is effective for financial statements issued by public companies for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of the standard requires using either a modified retrospective or a full retrospective approach.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
The Company has early adopted this standard as of January 1, 2021 using the modified retrospective approach. Adoption of this standard resulted in a decrease to accumulated deficit of $28.6 million (net of $0.9 million in taxes), a decrease to paid-in capital of $108.5 million (net of $6.7 million in taxes) and an increase to Convertible Notes of $87.5 million. Interest expense recognized in future periods is expected to be reduced as a result of accounting for the convertible debt instrument as a single liability measured at its amortized cost, with an expected decrease of approximately $22.1 million in 2021 as a result of the adoption. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 had no impact on the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

3.Acquisitions

Acquisition of Proprietary Technology

The Company previously owned approximately 29% of the outstanding units in a privately held company and accounted for it as an equity method investment. On March 11, 2021, the Company entered into an intellectual property purchase agreement with this privately held company to acquire all of the 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 Company accounted for these 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.

Acquisition of Harvest
 
On April 7, 2021, pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of March 31, 2021, between, among others, Harvest Savings & Wealth Technologies (“Harvest”), a Delaware corporation, and Bounty Merger Sub, Inc, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), the Company completed the merger of Harvest with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Harvest Acquisition”) and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Envestnet. Harvest has been integrated into the Envestnet Wealth Solutions segment.

Harvest provides automated goals-based saving and wealth solutions tools to customers of banks, credit unions, trust companies, and other financial institutions. The acquisition optimizes the Company's API-based financial wellness ecosystem, and also helps strengthen the Company's foothold to enable embedded finance, which the Company sees as a key driver of the future of financial services.

In connection with the Harvest Acquisition, the Company paid estimated consideration of $32.8 million (of which $3.0 million is being held in escrow for 18 months after the closing date), net of cash acquired, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. The Company funded the acquisition with cash on hand.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

The goodwill arising from the acquisition represents the expected synergistic benefits of the transaction, primarily related to an increase in future revenues as a result of potential cross selling opportunities, as well as enhancements to the Company's existing technologies. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

A summary of estimated intangible assets acquired, estimated useful lives and amortization method is as follows:

Total intangible assets acquired$9,500 

The estimated fair values of certain of the assets and liabilities acquired are provisional and based on information that was available to the Company as of the acquisition date. The estimated fair values of these provisional items are based on certain valuation and other studies that are in progress and not yet at the point where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. The Company believes the preliminary information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of these amounts, but is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values. Therefore, provisional measurements of fair values reflected herein are subject to change and such changes could be significant. The Company expects to finalize the valuation of tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill balances and complete the acquisition accounting as soon as reasonably practicable but no later than April 7, 2022.

The results of Harvest’s operations are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations beginning April 7, 2021 and were not considered material to the Company’s results of operations.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company’s acquisition related costs were not material, and are included in general and administration expenses. The Company may incur additional acquisition related costs over the remainder of 2021.

The banks have waived this non-compliance. Furthermore, on October 29, 2021, the banks and the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the Amended Credit Agreement whereby the investment threshold was increased from $25.0 million to $50.0 million. The Company was in compliance with all other covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2021.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had all $500.0 million available to borrow under the revolving credit facility, subject to covenant compliance.

Convertible Notes due 2023

Upon adoption of ASU 2020-06, effective January 1, 2021, the embedded conversion option, or equity component, is no longer separated from the host contract and recognized within additional paid-in capital and is instead now accounted for as a single liability measured at amortized cost within Long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2021, the Convertible Notes due 2023 are presented at their gross proceeds of $345.0 million less unamortized debt issuance costs of $3.5 million with no future accretion of the original issue discount necessary.

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes due 2023, the Company incurred $10.0 million of issuance costs in 2018, of which $8.6 million was originally allocated to the debt component and presented net in Long-term debt and $1.4 million was originally allocated to the equity component and presented within additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Upon adoption of ASU 2020-06, effective January 1, 2021, the costs originally allocated to the equity component are reflected within Long-term debt and are being amortized and recorded as additional interest expense over the life of the Convertible Notes due 2023.

The effective interest rate of the Convertible Notes due 2023 was approximately 2.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The effective interest rate of the Convertible Notes due 2023 was approximately 6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The effective interest rate of the Convertible Notes due 2023 is equal to the stated interest rate plus the amortization of the debt issuance costs subsequent to adoption of ASU 2020-06. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the effective interest rate calculation also included the amortization of the original issue discount.

Convertible Notes due 2025

Upon adoption of ASU 2020-06, effective January 1, 2021, the embedded conversion option, or equity component, is no longer separated from the host contract and recognized within additional paid-in capital and is instead now accounted for as a single liability measured at amortized cost within Long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2021, the Convertible Notes due 2025 are presented at their gross proceeds of $517.5 million less unamortized debt issuance costs of $11.4 million with no future accretion of the original issue discount necessary.

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes due 2025, the Company incurred a total of $14.5 million of issuance costs in 2020, of which $12.6 million was originally allocated to the debt component and presented net in Long-term debt and $1.9 million was originally allocated to the equity component and presented within additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Upon adoption of ASU 2020-06, effective January 1, 2021, the costs originally allocated to the equity component are reflected within Long-term debt and are being amortized and recorded as additional interest expense over the life of the Convertible Notes due 2025.

The effective interest rate of the Convertible Notes due 2025 was approximately 1.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The effective interest rate of the Convertible Notes due 2025 was approximately 4.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The effective interest rate of the Convertible Notes due 2025 was equal to the stated interest rate plus the amortization of the debt issuance costs subsequent to adoption of ASU 2020-06. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the effective interest rate calculation also included the amortization of the original issue discount.

The Company assesses the 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 when changes in circumstances 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 nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Fair Value of Investment in Private Company

The Company has an investment of $1.5 million in a privately held company that it does not have the ability to exercise significant influence. The Company elected the measurement alternative for this investment as it did not have a readily determinable fair value. The investment is included in other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and measured at cost, less impairment, adjusted by observable price changes. Any adjustments resulting from impairment or observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investment of the same issuer are recorded within other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and are considered to be a Level II fair value measurement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a $0.8 million adjustment to the carrying value of the investment, resulting from observable price changes.

Fair Value of Contingent Consideration Liabilities

The fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities related to certain of the Company's 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. The significant inputs in the Company's Level III fair value measurement not supported by market activity included its assessments of expected future cash flows related to these acquisitions and their ability to meet the target performance objectives during the subsequent periods from the date of acquisition, which management believes are appropriately discounted considering the uncertainties associated with these obligations, and are calculated in accordance with the terms of their respective agreements.

The Company will continue to reassess the fair values of the contingent consideration liabilities at each reporting date until settlement. Changes to these estimated fair values will be recognized in the Company's earnings and included in general and administration expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value of Deferred Compensation Liability

The table below presents a reconciliation of the assets used to fund deferred the Company's deferred compensation liability, which is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level III) for the period from December 31, 2020 to September 30, 2021:
 Fair Value of Assets to Fund Deferred Compensation Liability
(in thousands)
Balance at December 31, 2020$9,961 
Contributions215 
Fair value adjustments577 
Balance at September 30, 2021$10,753 
 
The fair market value of the assets used to fund the Company's deferred compensation liability is based upon the cash surrender value of the Company's life insurance premiums. The value of the assets used to fund the Company's deferred compensation liability, which are included in other non-current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, increased due to funding of the plan and gains on the underlying investment vehicles. These gains are recognized in the Company's earnings and included in general and administration expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value of Debt Agreements
 
The Company considered the Convertible Notes due 2023 and the Convertible Notes due 2025 to be Level II liabilities at September 30, 2021 and used a market approach to calculate their respective fair values. The estimated fair value for each convertible note was determined based on estimated or actual bids and offers in an over-the-counter market on September 30, 2021 (See “Note 9—Debt”).

As of September 30, 2021, the carrying value of the Convertible Notes due 2023 equaled $341.5 million and represented the aggregate principal amount outstanding less the unamortized debt issuance costs. As of December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the Convertible Notes due 2023 equaled $316.6 million and represented the aggregate principal amount outstanding less the unamortized discount and debt issuance costs. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the estimated fair value of the Convertible Notes due 2023 was $434.7 million and $460.8 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2021, the carrying value of the Convertible Notes due 2025 equaled $506.1 million and represented the aggregate principal amount outstanding less the unamortized debt issuance costs. As of December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the Convertible Notes due 2025 equaled $439.9 million and represented the aggregate principal amount outstanding less the unamortized discount and debt issuance costs. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the estimated fair value of the Convertible Notes due 2025 was $523.0 million and $540.8 million, respectively.

Contract Balances

Total deferred revenue as of September 30, 2021 decreased by $1.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily the result of revenue growth, timing of cash receipts and revenue recognition. The majority of the Company's deferred revenue will be recognized over the course of the next twelve months.

The amount of revenue recognized that was included in the opening deferred revenue balance was $5.3 million and $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The amount of revenue recognized that was included in the opening deferred revenue balance was $31.6 million and $31.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, 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 $11.1 million and $10.8 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Amortization expense for the deferred sales incentive compensation was $1.2 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amortization expense for the deferred sales incentive compensation was $3.3 million and $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Deferred sales incentive compensation is included in other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortization expense is included in compensation and benefits expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. No significant impairment loss for capitalized costs was recorded during the periods.

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 compensation and benefits expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Restricted Stock Units
 
The Company has granted restricted stock units and performance-based stock units to employees that are unvested. Performance-based stock 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 stock units provide thresholds that dictate the number of shares to vest upon each evaluation date, which range from 50% to 150%. If these metrics are achieved, as defined in the individual grant terms, these shares would cliff vest three years from the grant date.

13. Income Taxes

The following table includes the Company’s income (loss) before income tax provision (benefit), income tax provision (benefit) and effective tax rate:

Income tax provision (benefit)(854)497 9,074 (161)
Effective tax rate(8.1)%17.6 %33.5 %1.5 %

Under ASC 740-270-25, the Company is required to report income tax expense by applying a projected annual effective tax rate (“AETR”) to ordinary pre-tax book income for the interim period. The tax impact of discrete items is accounted for separately in the period in which they occur. The effective tax rate (“ETR”) for the quarter is the result of the projected AETR applied to actual pre-tax book income plus discrete items as a percentage of actual pre-tax book income. Therefore, a change in pre-tax book income, either forecasted or actual year-to-date, from one period to the next will cause the ETR to change. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s ETR was impacted by the change in forecasted and actual year-to-date pre-tax book income.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company’s effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to the increase in forecasted book income for the year, the decrease in the valuation allowance the Company has placed on a portion of its U.S. deferred tax assets, including the valuation allowance impact of the Harvest acquisition, and the windfall from stock-based compensation.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company’s effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to the increase in the valuation allowance the Company has placed on a portion of its U.S. deferred tax assets, including the valuation allowance impact of the Harvest acquisition, permanent book-tax differences, and the impact of state and local taxes offset by federal and state research and development (“R&D”) credits.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company's effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to the change in the valuation allowance the Company has placed on a portion of its U.S. deferred tax assets and the impact of state and local taxes, partially offset by the permanent book tax differences, the windfall from stock-based compensation, the impact of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") related to net operating loss ("NOL") carryback, and federal and state R&D credits.

14.Net Income (Loss) Per Share
 
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. For the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share, the basic weighted average number of shares is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options, common warrants, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units and convertible notes, if dilutive, using either the treasury method or if-converted method, as appropriate.

Prior to January 1, 2021, the Company accounted for the effect of its convertible notes using the treasury stock method since they may be settled in cash, shares or a combination thereof at the Company's option. Pursuant to the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021, the Company now accounts for the effect of its convertible notes on diluted net income per share using the if-converted method (See “Note 2—Basis of Presentation” and “Note 9—Debt”).

17.Commitments and Contingencies
 
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 condensed 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.

Procurement of Technology Solutions

On June 21, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with a privately held company to acquire the technology solutions being developed by this privately held company for a purchase price of $18.0 million, including an advance of $3.0 million. The transaction is expected to close no later than December 31, 2022. In addition, the agreement includes an earn-out payment of $10.0 million based upon achievement of certain target metrics within five years after the date of the Company’s launch of the technology solutions.
 
Legal Proceedings
 
The Company and its subsidiary, Yodlee, Inc. (“Yodlee”), have been named as defendants in a lawsuit filed on July 17, 2019, by FinancialApps, LLC (“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’s 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’s 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 is underway.

The Company believes FinancialApps’s allegations are without merit and will continue to defend the claims against it and litigate the counterclaims vigorously.

The Company and Yodlee were also 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 amended class action complaint was filed by Plaintiff Wesch and nine additional named plaintiffs. The case caption is Deborah Wesch, et al., v. Yodlee, Inc., et al., Case No. 3:20-cv-05991-SK. Plaintiffs allege that Yodlee unlawfully collected their financial transaction data when plaintiffs linked their bank accounts to a mobile application that uses Yodlee’s API, and plaintiffs further allege that Yodlee unlawfully sold the transaction data to third parties. The complaint alleges 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. The Company believes that it is not properly named as a defendant in the lawsuit and it further believes, along with Yodlee, that plaintiffs’ claims are without merit. 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. Discovery has begun on the remaining state law claims against Yodlee. On October 9, 2021, Yodlee filed a motion for summary judgment, which is currently scheduled for a hearing in late January 2022. Yodlee will continue to vigorously defend the claims against it.

The Company’s subsidiary, Envestnet Asset Management, Inc. (“EAM”), has been named as a defendant in two putative class action lawsuits filed on December 28, 2020 and March 4, 2021, respectively, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. The case captions are Drake v. BBVA USA Bancshares, Inc. et al., No. 2:20-CV-02076-ACA (“Drake”) and Ferguson v. BBVA Compass Bancshares, Inc. et al, No. 2:19-CV-01135-MHH (“Ferguson”). The material allegations of both cases are identical. The plaintiff alleges that EAM, acting as investment advisor to BBVA USA Bancshares, Inc.’s Compass SmartInvestor 401(k) Plan (the “SmartInvestor Plan”), along with BBVA and others, breached its fiduciary duties under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) in connection with the selection and maintenance of the SmartInvestor Plan’s investment options. The plaintiff seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a class of SmartInvestor Plan participants from July 17, 2013 through December 28, 2020. On August 27, 2021, the Court granted EAM’s motion to dismiss the Drake lawsuit. On September 3, 2021, the Court granted EAM’s motion to dismiss the Ferguson lawsuit.

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. For litigation 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 an accrual for any claims as of September 30, 2021. 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 the 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. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company estimated a sales and use tax liability of $3.8 million and $6.6 million, respectively, related to revenues in multiple jurisdictions. This amount is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company also estimated a sales and use tax receivable of $2.8 million and $2.1 million, 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 in the condensed 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.
 
18.Subsequent Events

Investment in YieldX
 
On October 1, 2021, the Company acquired a 6.8% ownership interest in YieldX Inc. ("YieldX"), a Delaware corporation, for cash consideration of $15.0 million. YieldX provides an end-to-end digital platform with smart workflows, artificial intelligence powered analytics and a reimagined user experience for financial professionals and investors in the fixed income markets. The Company elected the measurement alternative for this investment as it did not have a readily determinable fair value. The investment is measured at cost, less impairment, adjusted by observable price changes.

In connection with this investment, the Company also entered into a commercial agreement with YieldX to integrate the products and solutions of YieldX into the Company’s platform offering. The consideration under the commercial agreement includes a warrant and quarterly cash payments subject to the satisfaction of certain performance targets.

We also operate five registered investment advisers (“RIAs”) registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We believe that our business model results in a high degree of recurring and predictable financial results.
 
Recent Developments

Acquisition of Proprietary Technology

We previously owned approximately 29% of the outstanding units in a privately held company and accounted for it as an equity method investment. On March 11, 2021, we entered into an intellectual property purchase agreement with this privately held company to acquire all of the proprietary technology developed by the privately held company for approximately $35.5 million. Concurrent with the intellectual property purchase agreement, we also entered into a redemption agreement with the same privately held company to redeem its previously held equity interest in the privately held company for approximately $10.0 million. We accounted for these 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.

Acquisition of Harvest
 
On April 7, 2021, we acquired Harvest Savings & Wealth Technologies (“Harvest”), a Delaware corporation (the “Harvest Acquisition”). Harvest provides automated goals-based saving tools and wealth solutions to banks, credit unions, trust companies, and other financial institutions. Harvest has been integrated into the Envestnet Wealth Solutions segment. The acquisition optimizes our API-based financial wellness ecosystem and also helps strengthen our foothold to enable embedded finance, which we see as a key driver of the future of financial services.

In connection with the Harvest Acquisition, we paid estimated consideration of $32.8 million (of which $3.0 million is being held in escrow for 18 months after the closing date), net of cash acquired, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. We funded the acquisition with cash on hand.

We recorded estimated goodwill of $17.9 million, which is not deductible for income tax purposes, and estimated identifiable intangible assets for proprietary technologies of $9.5 million. The tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were not material.

Organizational Realignment

In the fourth quarter of 2020, as part of an organizational realignment, we entered into separation agreements with several employees. In connection with this realignment, we recognized a net credit of $0.1 million of severance expense in the three months ended September 30, 2021. Total severance expense related to this program for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $5.1 million. As of September 30, 2021, we had approximately $1.6 million in accrued compensation and related taxes associated with these separation agreements.

34


Accelerated Investment Plan

In February 2021, we announced that we would be accelerating our investment in our ecosystem, whereby we will be:

Enhancing and streamlining our platforms to make it easier for our customers to work with us;
Redefining the way data is used in an effort to create better intelligence, insight and guidance for advisors to better assist their clients;
Improving the digital experience in a manner that we believe will empower advisors to offer their clients a platform to make impactful decisions in ways that they haven't experienced before; and
Opening the platform for expansion to more solutions providers and developers.

These investments, which began in the second quarter of 2021 and will increase as the year progresses, are expected to approximate $30 million of additional operating expenses in 2021.

Uncertainties Related to COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19, a novel strain of Coronavirus, a global pandemic. This outbreak continues to cause disruptions to businesses and markets worldwide as the virus spreads. The extent of the effect on our operational and financial performance will continue to depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the pandemic, and governmental, regulatory and private sector responses, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. Although we are unable to estimate the overall financial effect of the pandemic at this time, as the pandemic continues, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. As of September 30, 2021, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments as a result of the pandemic.

Asset and account figures in the “Reclass to Subscription” columns for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 represent enterprise customers whose billing arrangements in future periods are subscription-based, rather than asset-based. Such amounts are included in Subscription metrics at the end of the quarter in which the reclassification occurred, with no impact on total platform assets or accounts. Periodically clients choose to change the way they pay for our solution, whereby they switch from an asset-based pricing model to a subscription-based model, which has increased our subscription-based metrics.
Envestnet Data & Analytics Segment
 
Envestnet Data & Analytics is a leading data aggregation and data intelligence platform. As an artificial intelligence (“AI”) and data specialist, Envestnet Data & Analytics gathers, refines and aggregates a massive set of end-user permissioned transaction level data and combines them with financial applications, reports, market research analysis and application programming interfaces (“APIs”) for its customers.
Over 1,500 financial institutions, financial technology innovators and financial advisory firms, including 15 of the 20 largest U.S. banks, subscribe to the Envestnet Data & Analytics platform to underpin personalized financial apps and services for over 30 million paid subscribers.
 
Envestnet Data & Analytics serves two main customer groups: financial institutions (“FI”) and financial technology innovators, which we refer to as Yodlee Interactive (“YI”) customers.
The Financial Institutions group provides customers with secure access to open APIs, end-user facing applications powered by our platform and APIs (“FinApps”), and reports. Customers receive end-user permissioned transaction data elements that we aggregate and cleanse. Envestnet Data & Analytics also enables customers to develop their own applications through its open APIs, which deliver secure data, money movement solutions, and other functionality. FinApps can be subscribed to individually or in combinations that include personal financial management, wealth management, credit card, payments and small-medium business solutions. They are targeted at the retail financial, wealth management, small business, credit card, lenders, and other
37


financial services sectors. These FinApps help consumers and small businesses simplify and manage their finances, review their financial accounts, track their spending, calculate their net worth, and perform a variety of other activities. For example, Yodlee Expense and Income Analysis FinApp helps consumers track their spending, and a Payroll FinApp from a third party helps small businesses process their payroll. The suite of reports is designed to supplement traditional credit reports by utilizing consumer permissioned aggregated data from over 17,000 sources, including banking, investment, loan and credit card information.

The Yodlee Interactive group enables customers to develop new applications and enhance existing solutions. These customers operate in a number of sub-vertical markets, including wealth management, personal financial management, small business accounting, small business lending and authentication. They use the Envestnet Data & Analytics platform to build solutions that leverage our open APIs and provide access to a large end user base. In addition to aggregated transaction-level account data elements, we provide YI customers with secure access to account verification, money movement and risk assessment tools via our APIs. We play a critical role in transferring innovation from financial technology innovators to financial institutions. For example, YI customers use Yodlee applications to provide working capital to small businesses online; personalized financial management, planning and advisory services; e-commerce payment solutions; and online accounting systems for small businesses. We provide access to our solutions across multiple channels, including web, tablet and mobile.

Both FI and YI channels benefit customers by improving end-user satisfaction and retention, accelerating speed to market, creating technology savings and enhancing their data analytics solutions and market research capabilities. End users receive better access to their financial information and more control over their finances, leading to more informed and personalized decision making. For customers who are members of the developer community, Envestnet Data & Analytics solutions provide access to critical data and payments solutions, faster speed to market and enhanced distribution.
We believe that our brand leadership, innovative technology and intellectual property, large customer base, and unique data gathering and enrichment provide us with competitive advantages that have enabled us to grow.
Operational Highlights

Three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to three months ended September 30, 2020

Asset-based recurring revenues
 
Asset-based recurring revenues increased 34% from $137.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $184.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in asset values applicable to our quarterly billing cycles in the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020, the impact of new account growth and positive net flows of AUM/A in the third quarter of 2021.
39


The number of financial advisors with asset-based recurring revenue on our technology platforms increased from approximately 41,000 as of September 30, 2020 to approximately 42,000 as of September 30, 2021, and the number of AUM/A client accounts increased from approximately 2.3 million as of September 30, 2020 to approximately 2.5 million as of September 30, 2021.

Asset-based recurring revenues increased from 55% of total revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to 61% of total revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to a higher increase in asset-based recurring revenues as compared to subscription-based recurring revenues.

Subscription-based recurring revenues
 
Subscription-based recurring revenue increased 5% from $107.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $113.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was due to an increase of $4.2 million in the Envestnet Wealth Solutions segment and an increase of $1.5 million in the Envestnet Data & Analytics segment which are primarily due to new and existing customer growth.

Professional services and other revenues
 
Professional services and other revenues decreased 21% from $6.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $5.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was due to timing of the completion of customer projects and deployments.

Cost of revenues
 
Cost of revenues increased 40% from $78.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $109.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in asset-based cost of revenues of $31.2 million, which correlates directly with the increase to asset-based recurring revenues during the period. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of revenues increased from 31% in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to 36% in three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to shifts in pricing and product mix for asset-based revenues.

Compensation and benefits

Compensation and benefits increased 16% from $94.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $109.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to increases in salaries, benefits and related payroll taxes of $8.8 million, incentive compensation of $5.0 million, non-cash compensation expense of $3.0 million and other immaterial increases within compensation and benefits. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in severance expense of $2.5 million. As a percentage of total revenues, compensation and benefits decreased from 37% in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to 36% in the three months ended September 30, 2021.

General and administration
 
General and administration expenses increased 1% from $39.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $39.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to increases in systems development costs of $3.6 million, marketing expense of $3.0 million and other immaterial increases within general and administration. These increases were partially offset by decreases in non-income tax expense of $2.6 million, restructuring charges and transaction costs of $2.4 million and miscellaneous general and administration expense of $1.5 million. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administration expenses decreased from 15% in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to 13% in the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Depreciation and amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 3% from $29.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $29.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in internally developed software amortization expense of $2.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in intangible asset amortization expense of $1.1 million. As a percentage of total revenues, depreciation and amortization expense decreased from 11% in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to 10% in the three months ended September 30, 2021.

40


Other expense, net

Other expense, net decreased from $8.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $3.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to decreased non-cash interest expense charges of $3.3 million primarily due to the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021, as well as a one-time gain of $1.2 million related to the settlement of a liability and a one-time gain of $1.0 million related to an insurance reimbursement in the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Effective tax rate(8.1)%17.6 %

Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740-270-25, we are required to report income tax expense by applying a projected annual effective tax rate (“AETR”) to ordinary pre-tax book income for the interim period. The tax impact of discrete items is accounted for separately in the period in which they occur. The effective tax rate (“ETR”) for the quarter is the result of the projected AETR applied to actual pre-tax book income plus discrete items as a percentage of actual pre-tax book income. Therefore, a change in pre-tax book income, either forecasted or actual year-to-date, from one period to the next will cause the ETR to change. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, our ETR was impacted by the change in forecasted and actual year-to-date pre-tax book income.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, our effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to the increase in forecasted book income for the year, the decrease in the valuation allowance the Company has placed on a portion of its U.S. deferred tax assets, including the valuation allowance impact of the Harvest acquisition, and the windfall from stock-based compensation.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, our effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to the decrease in the valuation allowance the Company has placed on a portion of its U.S. deferred tax assets and the impact of state and local taxes, partially offset by permanent book-tax differences, the windfall from stock-based compensation, the impact of the CARES Act related to NOL carryback, and federal and state R&D credits.

Nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2020
 
Asset-based recurring revenues
 
Asset-based recurring revenues increased 30% from $394.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $513.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in asset values applicable to our quarterly billing cycles in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the impact of new account growth and positive net flows of AUM/A in the first nine months of 2021.

The number of financial advisors with asset-based recurring revenue on our technology platforms increased from approximately 41,000 as of September 30, 2020 to approximately 42,000 as of September 30, 2021, and the number of AUM/A client accounts increased from approximately 2.3 million as of September 30, 2020 to approximately 2.5 million as of September 30, 2021.

Asset-based recurring revenues increased from 54% of total revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 59% of total revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily due to a higher increase in asset-based recurring revenues as compared to subscription-based recurring revenues.
 
41


Subscription-based recurring revenues
 
Subscription-based recurring revenue increased 6% from $317.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $335.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $13.1 million in the Envestnet Wealth Solutions segment and an increase of $5.3 million in the Envestnet Data & Analytics segment, both of which can be attributed to new and existing customer growth.

Professional services and other revenues
 
Professional services and other revenues decreased 21% from $22.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $17.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was due to timing of the completion of customer projects and deployments.

Cost of revenues
 
Cost of revenues increased 36% from $222.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $303.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in asset-based cost of revenues of $80.2 million, which directly correlates with the increase to asset-based recurring revenues during the period. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of revenues increased from 30% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 35% in nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to shifts in pricing and product mix for asset-based revenues.
 
Compensation and benefits

Compensation and benefits increased 5% from $300.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $316.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase is comprised of increases in incentive compensation of $11.6 million, salaries, benefits and related payroll taxes of $9.2 million, non-cash compensation expense of $4.6 million and other immaterial increases within compensation and benefit accounts. These increases were partially offset by decreases in severance expense of $8.1 million and miscellaneous employee expenses of $3.1 million. The decrease in severance expense is primarily related to charges incurred in connection with the Early Retirement Program during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. As a percentage of total revenues, compensation and benefits decreased from 41% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 36% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, due to a higher revenue increase compared to a lower compensation and benefits increase.

General and administration
 
General and administration expenses decreased 1% from $118.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $117.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in restructuring charges and transaction costs of $5.4 million, miscellaneous general and administration expense of $4.1 million, non-income tax expense of $2.4 million, travel and entertainment expense of $2.3 million, communications, research and data services of $1.1 million and other immaterial decreases within general and administration expense. These decreases were partially offset by increases in systems development costs of $7.6 million, marketing expense of $4.0 million and professional and legal fees of $3.5 million. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administration expenses decreased from 16% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 14% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Depreciation and amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 4% from $85.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $88.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in internally developed software amortization expense of $8.0 million, partially offset by a decrease in intangible asset amortization expense of $4.6 million. As a percentage of total revenues, depreciation and amortization expense decreased from 12% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 10% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Other expense, net

Other expense, net decreased from $18.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $14.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to reduced interest expense of $9.2 million in the current year period primarily due to the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021 and no outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility during fiscal year 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a one-time gain of $1.2 million related to the settlement of a liability and a one-time gain of $1.0 million related to an insurance reimbursement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a one-time gain of $4.2 million related to the remeasurement of a previously held interest in an equity method investee that we acquired the remaining outstanding equity for and a one-time gain of $2.5 million related to a fair value adjustment upon the settlement of a former Chief Executive Officer's stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Asset-based recurring revenues increased 34% from $137.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $184.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in asset values applicable to our quarterly billing cycles in the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020, the impact of new account growth and positive net flows of AUM/A in the third quarter of 2021.

The number of financial advisors with asset-based recurring revenue on our technology platforms increased from approximately 41,000 as of September 30, 2020 to approximately 42,000 as of September 30, 2021, and the number of AUM/A client accounts increased from approximately 2.3 million as of September 30, 2020 to approximately 2.5 million as of September 30, 2021.

As a percentage of segment revenues, asset-based recurring revenue increased from 67% of segment revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to 72% of segment revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to a higher increase in asset-based recurring revenues as compared to subscription-based recurring revenues.

Subscription-based recurring revenues
 
Subscription-based recurring revenues increased 7% from $62.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $67.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to new and existing customer growth.
 
Professional services and other revenues
 
Professional services and other revenues decreased 1% from $3.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $3.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Cost of revenues
 
Cost of revenues increased 43% from $72.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $103.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in asset-based cost of revenues of $31.2 million, which directly correlates with the increase to asset-based recurring revenues during the period. As a percentage of total revenues, cost of revenues increased from 35% in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to 41% in the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to shifts in pricing and product mix for asset-based revenues.

Compensation and benefits
 
Compensation and benefits increased 14% from $59.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $67.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase is primarily due to increases in salaries, benefits and related payroll taxes of $5.7 million, incentive compensation of $2.7 million and non-cash compensation expense of $1.0 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in severance expense of $2.2 million. As a percentage of total revenues, compensation and benefits decreased from 29% in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to 27% in the three months ended September 30, 2021.

General and administration

General and administration expenses increased 17% from $22.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $26.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to increases in systems development costs of $3.0 million, marketing expense of $2.6 million, restructuring charges and transaction costs of $1.1 million and bad debt expense of $0.9 million. These increases were partially offset by decreases in non-income tax expense of $2.8 million and miscellaneous general and administration expenses of $1.3 million. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administration expenses decreased from 11% in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to 10% in the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Depreciation and amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 12% from $20.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $22.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to increases in internally developed software amortization expense of $1.7 million and intangible asset amortization of $0.8 million. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization expense decreased from 10% in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to 9% in the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2020 for the Envestnet Wealth Solutions segment
  
Asset-based recurring revenues
 
Asset-based recurring revenues increased 30% from $394.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $513.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in asset values applicable to our quarterly billing cycles in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020, due to the impact of new account growth and positive net flows of AUM/A in the first nine months of 2021.

The number of financial advisors with asset-based recurring revenue on our technology platforms increased from approximately 41,000 as of September 30, 2020 to approximately 42,000 as of September 30, 2021, and the number of AUM/A client accounts increased from approximately 2.3 million as of September 30, 2020 to approximately 2.5 million as of September 30, 2021.

As a percentage of segment revenues, asset-based recurring revenue increased from 67% of segment revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 71% of segment revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to a higher increase in asset-based recurring revenues as compared to subscription-based recurring revenues.
 
Subscription-based recurring revenues
 
Subscription-based recurring revenues increased 7% from $184.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $197.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due 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.
 
Professional services and other revenues
 
Professional services and other revenues decreased 7% from $11.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $10.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to timing of the completion of customer projects and deployments.

Cost of revenues
 
Cost of revenues increased 39% from $205.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $285.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in asset-based cost of revenues of $80.2 million, which directly correlates with the increase to asset-based recurring revenues during the period. As a percentage of segment revenues, cost of revenues increased from 35% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 40% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to shifts in pricing and product mix for asset-based revenues.
 
Compensation and benefits
 
Compensation and benefits increased from $194.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $195.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase is primarily due to increases in incentive compensation of $6.6 million, salaries, benefits and related payroll taxes of $4.9 million. These increases are partially offset by a decrease in severance expense of $10.5 million. The decrease in severance expense is primarily related to charges in connection with the Early Retirement Program during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. As a percentage of segment revenues, compensation and benefits decreased from 33% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 27% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to a higher revenue increase compared to a lower compensation and benefits increase.

General and administration

General and administration expenses increased 3% from $69.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $71.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to increases in systems development costs of $6.0 million, professional and legal fees of $2.9 million, marketing expense of $2.4 million and occupancy costs of $1.0 million. These increases were partially offset by decreases in miscellaneous general and administration expenses of $4.2 million, non-income tax expense of $2.9 million, travel and entertainment expenses of $1.7 million and
46


various other immaterial decreases. As a percentage of segment revenues, general and administration expenses decreased from 12% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 10% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
 
Depreciation and amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 12% from $59.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $67.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in internally developed software amortization expense of $6.0 million. As a percentage of segment revenues, depreciation and amortization expense decreased from 10% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

General and administration

General and administration expenses decreased 9% from $8.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $7.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021 as decreases from a fair market value adjustment to an outstanding contingent consideration liability and lower litigation and regulatory costs were partially offset by increases in systems development costs. As a percentage of segment revenues, general and administration expenses decreased from 17% in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to 16% in the three months ended September 30, 2021.
 
Depreciation and amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 19% from $8.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $6.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in intangible asset amortization expense of $1.9 million, partially offset by an increase in internally developed software amortization expense of $0.6 million. As a percentage of segment revenues, depreciation and amortization expense decreased from 18% in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to 14% in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in depreciation and amortization as a percentage of segment revenues is primarily driven by a technology intangible asset becoming fully amortized in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Compensation and benefits
 
Compensation and benefits decreased 6% from $82.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $77.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to decreases in salaries, benefits, and related payroll taxes of $3.5 million, non-cash compensation expense of $2.0 million and miscellaneous employee expenses of $1.9 million. These decreases were partially offset by increases in incentive compensation of $1.3 million and severance expense of $1.0 million. As a percentage of segment revenues, compensation and benefits decreased from 57% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to 53% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in compensation and benefits as a percentage of total revenues is primarily driven by a decrease in overall compensation and benefits costs as a result of lower headcount in the current year, partially offset by an increase in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting results according to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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 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 stand-alone entities. Adjusted revenues 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, accretion on contingent consideration and purchase liability, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization, non-cash compensation expense, restructuring charges and transaction costs, severance, fair market value adjustment on contingent consideration liability, litigation and regulatory related expenses, foreign currency, non-income tax expense adjustment, gain on acquisition of equity method investment, gain on settlement of liability, gain on insurance reimbursement, fair market value adjustment to investment in private company, loss allocation from equity method investments and income attributable to non-controlling interest.

“Adjusted net income” represents net income before deferred revenue fair value adjustment, accretion on contingent consideration and purchase liability, non-cash interest expense, cash interest on our convertible notes (subsequent to the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021), non-cash compensation expense, restructuring charges and transaction costs, severance, fair market value adjustment on contingent consideration liability, amortization of acquired intangibles, litigation and regulatory related expenses, foreign currency, non-income tax expense adjustment, gain on acquisition of equity method investment, gain on settlement of liability, gain on insurance reimbursement, fair market value adjustment to investment in private company, loss allocation from equity method investments and income 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 share” represents adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders divided by the diluted number of weighted-average shares outstanding. Beginning January 1, 2021, the dilutive effect of our Convertible Notes are calculated using the if-converted method in accordance with the adoption of ASU 2020-06 (See Part I, “Note 2—Basis of Presentation”). As a result, 9.9 million potential shares to be issued in connection with our Convertible Notes are considered to be dilutive for purposes of the adjusted net income per share calculation beginning January 1, 2021.
 
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, our Board 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, management and investors with additional
50


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 provides 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, deferred revenue fair value adjustment, income tax provision (benefit), non-income tax expense, restructuring charges and transaction costs, accretion on contingent consideration and purchase liability, severance, fair market value adjustment on contingent consideration liability, litigation and regulatory related expenses, foreign currency, gain on acquisition of equity method investment, fair market value adjustment to investment in private company, loss allocation from equity method investments, (income) 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.
 
Adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to revenues, 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 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 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 expense or the use of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, we made net tax payments of $5,895 and $5,349 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In the event that we begin to 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 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 net income and adjusted net income per share through disclosure of such limitations, presentation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP and reconciliation of adjusted revenues to revenues, the most directly comparable 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 GAAP measure. 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.

(1)For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the effective tax rate computed in accordance with GAAP equaled (8.1)% and 17.6%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the effective tax rate computed in accordance with GAAP equaled 33.5% and 1.5%, respectively.
(2)Cash interest on the Company's convertible notes included only for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021 (See Part I, “Note 2—Basis of Presentation”).
(3)An estimated normalized effective tax rate of 25.5% has been used to compute adjusted net income for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Note on Income Taxes: As of December 31, 2020, we had NOL carryforwards of approximately $242.0 million and $211.0 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 the effective income tax rate computed in accordance with GAAP, and from the normalized rate shown above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of September 30, 2021, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $393.8 million compared to $384.6 million as of December 31, 2020. We plan to use existing cash as of September 30, 2021, cash generated in the ongoing operations of our business and amounts under our revolving credit facility 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 revolving credit facility or incur additional debt to fund our ongoing operations or to fund potential acquisitions or other strategic activities. As of September 30, 2021, we had $500.0 million available to borrow under our revolving credit facility, subject to covenant compliance.

Cash Flows
 
The following table presents information regarding our cash flows and cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash for the periods indicated:
 Nine Months Ended

Net cash provided by operating activities$169,974 $131,679

Net increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash9,234 280,311 
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of period393,948 363,066 
 
Operating Activities
 
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $170.0 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $131.7 million for the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income period over period of $37.6 million.

Investing Activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $135.0 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $83.2 million for the same period in 2020. The increase was due to an increase in net cash disbursements of $25.5 million for an acquisition of proprietary technology and the related redemption of our equity interest in a privately held company, an additional $8.8 million of internally developed software costs capitalized in 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, $7.6 million of increased disbursements related to various acquisitions and investments in privately held companies, $7.0 million of increased purchases of property and equipment and a $3.0 million advance towards the acquisition of technology solutions being developed for us by an outside company in the current year period.
 
Financing Activities
 
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $25.2 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $232.9 million for the same period in 2020. In August 2020, we received net proceeds of approximately $503.0 million from the issuance of convertible debt. With these proceeds, we paid off the outstanding balance of our revolving credit facility. These transactions contributed to a net cash inflow related to our third party debt agreements of $243.0 million in 2020. Increased deferred payments related to prior acquisition activity of $7.3 million, lower proceeds from stock option exercises of $7.1 million and share repurchases of $2.1 million in the current year period also contributed to this year over year decrease. These decreases were partially offset by $3.2 million of capital contributions made by non-controlling shareholders of one of our subsidiaries.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires us to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. “Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements in our 2020 Form 10-K describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Our critical accounting estimates, identified in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part II, Item 7 of our 2020 Form 10-K include, but are not limited to, the discussion of estimates used for recognition of revenues, the determination of the period of benefit for deferred sales incentive commissions, purchase accounting, impairment of goodwill and acquired intangible assets and income taxes. Such accounting policies and estimates require significant judgments and assumptions to be used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and actual results could differ materially from the amounts reported.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
There have been no material changes to our market, foreign currency or interest rate risks as discussed in Part II, Item 7A of our 2020 Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
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 September 30, 2021. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means 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 recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures 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 accumulated and communicated to the Company’s 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 their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

On February 25, 2016, we announced that our Board had authorized a share repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock.

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.
