*Quarterly Dividend* 

On January 30, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per share of common stock, payable on March 1, 2023 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 15, 2023. A copy of the press release issued in connection with the dividend is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

*Negotiations with the World Gold Council* 

In connection with the Company's acquisition of the European exchange-traded commodity, currency and leveraged-and-inverse business of ETFS Capital Limited ("ETFS Capital") in April 2018, the Company assumed an obligation for fixed payments to ETFS Capital of physical gold bullion equating to 9,500 ounces of gold per year through March 31, 2058 and then subsequently reduced to 6,333 ounces of gold per year continuing into perpetuity (the "Contractual Gold Payments"). The Contractual Gold Payments expense was approximately $17.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Contractual Gold Payments are paid from advisory fee income generated by any financial product backed by physical gold (including the proportion of gold in any security which is backed by assets other than physical gold) which is owned or sponsored by the Company and which is publicly offered to investors pursuant to a public offering document approved by a European regulator pursuant to European regulations. The Contractual Gold Payments are subject to adjustment and reduction for declines in advisory fee income generated by such products, with any reduction remaining due and payable until paid in full. ETFS Capital's recourse is limited to such advisory fee income and it has no recourse back to the Company for any unpaid amounts that exceed advisory fees earned. ETFS Capital ultimately has the right to claw back Gold Bullion Securities Ltd. (a physically backed gold ETP issuer) if the Company fails to remit any amounts due.

The Company is currently in negotiations with the World Gold Council (the "WGC") to settle its obligation to pay the portion of the Contractual Gold Payment that is ultimately received by the WGC, representing 6,333 ounces of gold per year into perpetuity. If achieved, the Company anticipates that it would result in a reduction of a liability on the Company's balance sheet and improve its earnings per share. While negotiations are ongoing, there can be no assurances that the Company and WGC will finalize an agreement. Further information concerning this contemplated transaction will be provided if the Company and the WGC reach an agreement.

**WisdomTree Announces Fourth Quarter 2022 Results – Record quarter-end AUM of $82.0 billion;** 

**Full year inflow rate of 16% across all products** 

*Diluted loss per share of ($0.20); Earnings per share of $0.04, as adjusted* 

*Net flows of $5.3 billion in the quarter (highest flowing quarter since 2015)* 

*Nine consecutive quarters of net inflows* 

New York, NY – (Business Wire) – February 3, 2023 – WisdomTree, Inc. (NYSE: WT), a global financial innovator, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter of 2022.

**($28.3) million net loss ($7.0<sup>(1)</sup> million net income, as adjusted)**; see "Non-GAAP Financial Measurements" for additional information.

**$35.4 million non-cash loss** associated with the revaluation of deferred consideration-gold payments due to a decrease in the discount rate used to compute the present value of the annual payment obligations, as well as higher gold prices.

**$82.0 billion of ending AUM**, an increase of 15.7% arising from market appreciation and net inflows.

**$5.3 billion of net inflows**, primarily driven by inflows into our fixed income, U.S. equity and commodity products.

**0.36% average advisory fee**, a decrease of 2 basis points due to AUM mix shift.

**$73.3 million of operating revenues**, essentially unchanged from the previous quarter as higher average AUM was offset by a decline in our average advisory fee.

**76.9% gross margin<sup>(1)</sup>**, a 0.6 point decrease from the previous quarter due to fund rebalances and recent fund launches.

**16.0% operating income margin**, a 4.5 point decrease compared to our operating margin of 20.5% in the prior quarter primarily due to higher expenses related to the finalization of year-end compensation and seasonal marketing and sales-related initiatives.

**$0.03 quarterly dividend declared**, payable on March 1, 2023 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 15, 2023.

**Update from Jonathan Steinberg, WisdomTree CEO** 

"The momentum we built from last year has set the table for a very exciting 2023 for WisdomTree. We expect our solid fund performance and positioning, combined with growth in our managed models franchise, will drive another year of strong organic growth. Additionally, we remain excited and focused on launching WisdomTree Prime<sup>™</sup> and anticipate the platform will be available in app stores in Q2, enabling many users across the U.S. to build holistic portfolios from our suite of digital funds and real-world asset tokens and merge saving, spending and investing activities. Overall, WisdomTree remains on track with exceptional momentum, the right strategy and a tremendous opportunity ahead in ETFs, models, advisors solutions, digital assets and blockchain-enabled finance."

------

**Update from Jarrett Lilien, WisdomTree COO and President** 

"Driven by over $12 billion of net inflows in 2022, WisdomTree exited the year with record assets under management. Our 16% pace of organic flow growth in 2022 was not only the best among our public asset manager peers, but it was the best year for flows since 2015. That momentum has continued into 2023 with over $1.5 billion of net inflows, putting WisdomTree in a position to achieve its tenth consecutive quarter of firm-wide net inflows. With products and solutions that are not only strong performers, but positioned very well against this market backdrop, we see ample opportunity in front of us and could not be more excited about what is to come in 2023."

**QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS** 

*<u>Operating Revenues</u>*

• Operating revenues were essentially unchanged from the third quarter of 2022 and decreased 7.4% from the fourth
quarter of 2021 as higher average AUM was offset by a decline in our average advisory fee.

• Our average advisory fee was 0.36%, 0.38% and 0.40% during the fourth quarter of 2022, the third quarter of 2022
and the fourth quarter of 2021, respectively.

*<u>Operating Expenses</u>*

• Operating expenses increased 7.0% from the third quarter of 2022 primarily due to higher incentive compensation,
marketing expenses, sales and business development expenses and fund management and administration costs.

• Operating expenses increased 8.8% from the fourth quarter of 2021 primarily due to higher incentive compensation
and headcount, fund management and administration costs, sales and business development expenses, professional fees incurred in connection with our digital assets initiative and other expenses. These increases were partly offset by lower marketing
expenses.

*<u>Other Income/(Expenses</u>)* 

• Interest expense was essentially unchanged from the third quarter of 2022 and the fourth quarter of 2021.

• We recognized a non-cash loss on revaluation of deferred consideration of
$35.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2022. The loss arose primarily from a decrease in the discount rate used to compute the present value of the annual payment obligations, as well as higher gold prices. The magnitude of any gain or loss
recognized is highly correlated to changes in the discount rate and the magnitude of the change in the forward-looking price of gold.

• Interest income was essentially unchanged from the third quarter of 2022 and fourth quarter of 2021.

• Other net losses were $1.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and included losses on our financial
instruments owned and investments of $1.5 million. Gains and losses also generally arise from the sale of gold earned from management fees paid by our physically-backed gold exchange-traded products ("ETPs"), foreign exchange
fluctuations and other miscellaneous items.

*<u>Income Taxes</u>*

• Our income tax provision for the fourth quarter of 2022 was a benefit of $0.02 million. The effective tax
rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% due to a non-deductible loss on revaluation of deferred consideration, partly offset by a reduction in the valuation allowance on foreign net operating
losses.

• Our adjusted effective income tax rate was 18.4%<sup>(1)</sup>.

**ANNUAL HIGHLIGHTS** 

• Operating revenues were essentially unchanged from 2021.

• Operating expenses increased 12.1% as compared to 2021 primarily due to higher incentive compensation and
headcount, professional fees including $4.5 million incurred in response to an activist campaign and professional fees associated with our digital assets initiative, fund management and administration costs, sales and business development
expenses, marketing expenses, third-party distribution fees and other expenses. These increases were partly offset by lower occupancy expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses.

• Significant items reported in other income/(expense) in 2022 include: an increase in interest expense of 21.1%
due to a higher level of debt outstanding; a non-cash gain on revaluation of deferred consideration of $27.8 million; an increase in interest income of 65.3% due to an increase in our financial
instruments owned; a non-cash charge of $19.9 million upon the release of tax-related indemnification assets arising from a favorable resolution of certain tax
audits as well as the expiration of the statute of limitations (an equal and offsetting benefit was recognized in income tax expense); and losses on our financial instruments owned and investments of $16.9 million. Gains and losses also
generally arise from the sale of gold earned on management fees paid by our physically-backed gold ETPs, foreign exchange fluctuations and other miscellaneous items.

• Our effective income tax rate for 2022 was negative 26.9%, resulting in an income tax benefit of
$10.7 million. Our tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the reduction in unrecognized tax benefits associated with the release of the tax-related indemnification asset
described above, a reduction in the valuation allowance on foreign net operating losses, a non-taxable gain on revaluation of deferred consideration and a lower tax rate on foreign earnings. These items were
partly offset by an increase in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance on losses recognized on financial instruments owned.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measurements** 

In an effort to provide additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP information which we believe provides useful and meaningful information. Our management reviews these non-GAAP financial measurements when evaluating our financial performance and results of operations; therefore, we believe it is useful to provide information with respect to these non-GAAP measurements so as to share this perspective of management. Non-GAAP measurements do not have any standardized meaning, do not replace nor are superior to GAAP financial measurements and are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measurements should be considered in the context with our GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measurements contained in this press release include:

***Adjusted Operating Income, Operating Expenses, Income Before Income Taxes, Income Tax Expense, Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Share***

We disclose adjusted operating income, operating expenses, income before income taxes, income tax expense, net income and diluted earnings per share as non-GAAP financial measurements in order to report our results exclusive of items that are non-recurring or not core to our operating business. We believe presenting these non-GAAP financial measurements provides investors with a consistent way to analyze our performance. These non-GAAP financial measurements exclude the following:

**Unrealized gains or losses on the revaluation of deferred consideration:** Deferred consideration is an obligation we assumed in connection with the ETFS acquisition that is carried at fair value. This item represents the present value of an obligation to pay fixed ounces of gold into perpetuity and is measured using forward-looking gold prices. Changes in the forward-looking price of gold and changes in the discount rate used to compute the present value of the annual payment obligations may have a material impact on the carrying value of the deferred consideration and our reported financial results. We exclude this item when calculating our non-GAAP financial measurements as it is not core to our operating business. The item is not adjusted for income taxes as the obligation was assumed by a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours that is based in Jersey, a jurisdiction where we are subject to a zero percent tax rate.

**Gains or losses on financial instruments owned:** We account for our financial instruments owned as trading securities, which requires these instruments to be measured at fair value with gains and losses reported in net income. In the third quarter of 2021, we began excluding these items when calculating our non-GAAP financial measurements as these securities have become a more meaningful percentage of total assets and the gains and losses introduce volatility in earnings and are not core to our operating business.

**Tax shortfalls and windfalls upon vesting and exercise of stock-based compensation awards:** GAAP requires the recognition of tax windfalls and shortfalls within income tax expense. These items arise upon the vesting and exercise of stock-based compensation awards and the magnitude is directly correlated to the number of awards vesting/exercised as well as the difference between the price of our stock on the date the award was granted and the date the award vested or was exercised. We exclude these items when calculating our non-GAAP financial measurements as they introduce volatility in earnings and are not core to our operating business.

**Other items:** Unrealized gains and losses recognized on our investments, changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowance and expenses incurred in response to an activist campaign are excluded when calculating our non-GAAP financial measurements.

***Adjusted Effective Income Tax Rate***

We disclose our adjusted effective income tax rate as a non-GAAP financial measurement in order to report our effective income tax rate exclusive of items that are non-recurring or not core to our operating business. We believe reporting our adjusted effective income tax rate provides investors with a consistent way to analyze our income taxes. Our adjusted effective income tax rate is calculated by dividing adjusted income tax expense by adjusted income before income taxes. See above for information regarding the items that are excluded.

***Gross Margin and Gross Margin Percentage***

We disclose our gross margin and gross margin percentage as non-GAAP financial measurements because we believe they provide investors with a consistent way to analyze the amount we retain after paying third-party service providers to operate our ETPs. These measures also assist us in analyzing the profitability of our products. We define gross margin as total operating revenues less fund management and administration expenses. Gross margin percentage is calculated as gross margin divided by total operating revenues.

**Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements** 

This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements relate to future events or our future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, the risks described below. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. You should read this press release completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

In particular, forward-looking statements in this press release may include statements about:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the ultimate duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, or the war in Ukraine,
and their short-term and long-term impact on our business and the global economy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• anticipated trends, conditions and investor sentiment in the global markets and ETPs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• anticipated levels of inflows into and outflows out of our ETPs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to deliver favorable rates of return to investors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• competition in our business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• whether we will experience future growth;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to develop new products and services and their success;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to maintain current vendors or find new vendors to provide services to us at favorable costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to successfully implement our strategy relating to digital assets and blockchain-enabled financial
services, including WisdomTree Prime<sup>™</sup>, and achieve its objectives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our ability to successfully operate and expand our business in non-U.S. markets; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the effect of laws and regulations that apply to our business.

Our business is subject to many risks and uncertainties, including without limitation:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse market developments arising from the COVID-19 pandemic could
negatively impact our assets under management, resulting in a decline in our revenues and other potential operational challenges;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• declining prices of securities, gold and other precious metals and other commodities and changes in interest
rates and general market conditions can adversely affect our business by reducing the market value of the assets we manage or causing WisdomTree ETP investors to sell their fund shares and trigger redemptions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fluctuations in the amount and mix of our AUM, whether caused by disruptions in the financial markets or
otherwise, including but not limited to a pandemic event such as COVID-19, or the war in Ukraine, may negatively impact revenues and operating margins, and may impede our ability to refinance our debt upon
maturity or, increase the cost of borrowing upon a refinancing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• competitive pressures could reduce revenues and profit margins;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we derive a substantial portion of our revenues from a limited number of products, and as a result, our operating
results are particularly exposed to investor sentiment toward investing in the products' strategies and our ability to maintain the AUM of these products, as well as the performance of these products and market-specific and political and
economic risk;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a significant portion of our AUM is held in products with exposure to U.S. and international developed markets
and we therefore have exposure to domestic and foreign market conditions and are subject to currency exchange rate risks;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• withdrawals or broad changes in investments in our ETPs by investors with significant positions may negatively
impact revenues and operating margins;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• over the last few years, we have expanded our business internationally. This expansion subjects us to increased
operational, regulatory, financial and other risks;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• many of our ETPs have a limited track record, and poor investment performance could cause our revenues to
decline;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• we depend on third parties to provide many critical services to operate our business and our ETPs. The failure of
key vendors to adequately provide such services could materially affect our operating business and harm WisdomTree ETP investors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• actions of activist stockholders against us have been costly and may be disruptive and cause uncertainty about
the strategic direction of our business.

Other factors, such as general economic conditions, including currency exchange rate fluctuations, also may have an effect on the results of our operations. For a more complete description of the risks noted above and other risks that could cause our actual results to differ from our current expectations, see "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as amended, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

The forward-looking statements in this press release represent our views as of the date of this press release. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. Therefore, these forward-looking statements do not represent our views as of any date other than the date of this press release.
