WisdomTree Announces First Quarter 2015 Results

Net income of $12.1 million or diluted EPS $0.09

Record $13.5 billion in net inflows for the quarter with AUM reaching record $55.8 billion

Net inflow market share of 23.8% for the quarter

Declares $0.08 quarterly dividend

New York, NY – (GlobeNewswire) – May 1, 2015 – WisdomTree Investments, Inc. (NASDAQ: WETF), an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) and exchange-traded product (“ETP”) sponsor and asset manager today reported net income of $12.1 million for the first quarter of 2015 or $0.09 per share on a fully diluted basis. This compares to $30.2 million in the first quarter of 2014 (which included a non-recurring tax benefit of $13.7 million) and $9.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. Included in the quarter was a loss of $1.8 million, or $0.01 per diluted EPS, associated with the Company’s European listed ETP business, which was acquired in April 2014.

WisdomTree CEO and President Jonathan Steinberg said, “We reported a record $13.5 billion in net inflows in the first quarter in the U.S., making WisdomTree one of the fastest-growing companies within the ETF and broader asset management industry in 2015 to date. WisdomTree’s industry-leading growth underscores our ability to identify and disseminate useful and differentiated investment solutions to an ever-growing ETF market. We also recorded record revenues and pre-tax earnings in the quarter.”

“Now the sixth largest ETP sponsor in the world with $61.2 billion in AUM globally, we are continuing to experience strong organic growth in the second quarter, led by our currency hedged equity ETFs. Importantly, we are continuing to plant the seeds for future growth as we execute against the strategic growth initiatives we previously outlined for the year, including investments in people, products and technology.”

First Quarter Financial Discussion

Revenues

Total revenues increased 40.1% from the first quarter of 2014 and 21.3% compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 to a record $60.1 million primarily due to higher average AUM from strong inflows. Revenues from our European listed ETPs, which were acquired in April 2014, increased to $0.6 million from $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 primarily due to higher inflows for the Boost branded ETPs. The average advisory fee for our US listed ETFs increased to 0.52% as compared to 0.51% for the first quarter of 2014 due to the change in the mix of our AUM and remained the same at 0.52% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2014.

Margins

Gross margin for our US listed ETFs, which is our total revenues less fund management and administration expenses and third party sharing arrangements, was 83.2% in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to 78.6% in the first quarter of 2014 and 82.5% in the fourth quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily due to beneficial pricing changes for our fund accounting, administration and custody services, which took effect in April 2014, as well as higher average AUM.

Consolidated pre-tax margin was 35.0% in the first quarter of 2015. Pre-tax margin for our U.S. listed ETFs was 38.3% on average U.S. listed AUM of $46.4 billion. The Company’s margins were compressed in the first quarter due to the timing difference between when the Company recorded higher compensation costs from record inflows levels versus when it recognizes the full impact of the revenues from these inflows.

Expenses

Total expenses increased 48.0% from the first quarter of 2014 and 18.8% compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 to $39.1 million. Included in the quarter was $2.4 million of expenses associated with our European listed ETPs.

• Compensation and benefits expense increased 110% from the first quarter of 2014 to $19.6 million due to higher accrued incentive compensation due to our record setting inflow levels experienced in the quarter as well as higher headcount related expenses to support our growth. Included in the quarter was $1.1 million in compensation costs for employees associated with our European listed ETPs. Our headcount was 109 in the US and 136 globally at the end of the quarter.

• Fund management and administration expense increased 10.9% from the first quarter of 2014 to $10.2 million. Fees associated with higher inflow levels, average AUM and number of ETFs increased, and were partly offset by lower fees as a result of changing our fund accounting, administration and custody service provider in April 2014. We also incurred additional costs for our European listed ETPs which were acquired in April 2014. This expense increased 13.8% compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 due to expenses associated with higher inflow levels and additional costs for the WisdomTree branded ETFs which were launched in Europe in the fourth quarter. We had 70 US listed ETFs and 63 European listed ETPs at the end of the quarter.

4

• Marketing and advertising expense increased 19.3% from the first quarter of 2014 and 7.2% from the fourth quarter to $3.1 million primarily due to higher levels of advertising related activities to support our growth.

• Sales and business development expense increased 46.0% from the first quarter of 2014 to $1.9 million primarily due to higher spending for sales related activities. This expense was relatively unchanged compared to the fourth quarter of 2014.

• Professional and consulting fees decreased 18.5% from the first quarter of 2014 to $1.5 million. In the first quarter of last year, we incurred advisory fees in connection with our acquisition of Boost. This expense decreased 42.9% compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 primarily due to lower fees relating to strategic consulting services.

• Occupancy, communication and equipment expense was essentially unchanged at $0.9 million as compared to the first and fourth quarters of last year.

• Depreciation and amortization expense was also relatively unchanged at $0.2 million as compared to the first and fourth quarters of last year.

• Third-party sharing arrangements expense increased to $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2015 as compared to the first quarter of 2014 primarily due to higher fees for our marketing agents in Latin America and listing our ETFs on a third party platform.

• Acquisition contingent payment expense was $0.3 million in the first quarter. This represents the current expense accrual for expected payments due to the former Boost shareholders related to our acquisition in April 2014 and is primarily driven by increased AUM derived from our European business.

• Income tax expense was $9.0 million for the first quarter of 2015. The effective tax rate on our US listed ETF business increased to 39.4% from 38.3% in the fourth quarter of last year due to state taxes. The Company’s overall effective tax rate was 42.6% due to the non-deductibility of losses in our European ETP business. These losses may be recognized in the future after the European business is profitable. The Company recorded a tax benefit of $13.7 million in the first quarter of last year related to its deferred tax asset, which previously had been recorded with a full valuation allowance.

Balance Sheet

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had total assets of $217.9 million which consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents and investments of $173.3 million. There were approximately 135.6 million shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2015. Fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 137.3 million for the first quarter.

Quarterly Dividend and Stock Buyback

The Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share of the Company’s common stock. The dividend will be paid on May 27, 2015 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 13, 2015. In addition, during the quarter, the Company purchased approximately 773,000 shares for $14.1 million.

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:

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

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

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

• our ability to develop new products and services;

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

6

• our ability to successfully expand our business into non-U.S. markets;

• timing of payment of our cash income taxes;

• competition in our business; and

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

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

• Recent historical growth may not provide an accurate representation of the growth we may experience in the future, which may make it difficult to evaluate our future prospects.

• Challenging global market conditions associated with declining prices of securities can adversely affect our business by reducing the market value of the assets we manage or causing customers to sell their fund shares and trigger redemptions.

• Fluctuations in the amount and mix of our AUM may negatively impact revenue and operating margin.

• We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from a limited number of products – in particular two funds, the WisdomTree Europe Hedged Equity Fund and the WisdomTree Japan Hedged Equity Fund – and, as a result, our operating results are particularly exposed to the performance of those funds, investor sentiment toward the strategies pursued by those funds and our ability to maintain the AUM of those funds.

• Most of our AUM are held in our U.S. listed ETFs that invest in foreign securities and we therefore have substantial exposure to foreign market conditions and are subject to currency exchange rate risks.

• We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from international hedged equity ETFs and are exposed to the market-specific political and economic risks, as well as general investor sentiment regarding monetary policy of those markets.

• We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from products invested in securities of Japanese and European companies and are exposed to the market-specific political and economic risks, as well as general investor sentiment regarding future growth of those markets and currency fluctuations.

• We derive a significant portion of our revenue from products invested in emerging markets and are exposed to the market-specific political and economic risks as well as general investor sentiment regarding future growth of those markets.

• Many of our ETPs and ETFs have a limited track record, and poor investment performance could cause our revenue to decline.

7

• We depend on third parties to provide many critical services to operate our business and our ETPs and ETFs. The failure of key vendors to adequately provide such services could materially affect our operating business and harm our customers.

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, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

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.

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. The non-GAAP financial measurements included in this release include gross margin, gross margin percentage and our operating results for our US and European listed ETF businesses. 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. We disclose gross margin as a non-GAAP financial measurement to allow investors to analyze our revenues less the direct costs paid to third parties attributable to those revenues. We disclose the results of our US listed ETF business to allow investors to better compare our results to the prior year as in April 2014, we acquired Boost ETP, a UK based ETP sponsor.
