WisdomTree (NYSE:WT) Issues Quarterly Earnings Results

WisdomTree (NYSE:WT) announced its earnings results on Friday. The company reported $0.27 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, topping analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.25 by $0.02, Briefing.com reports. WisdomTree had a net margin of 22.10% and a return on equity of 30.24%. The company had revenue of $159.50 million for the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $156.96 million. During the same period in the prior year, the business earned $0.16 earnings per share. WisdomTree’s quarterly revenue was up 47.5% on a year-over-year basis.

Here are the key takeaways from WisdomTree’s conference call:

• Record AUM and strong inflows: WisdomTree reported a record AUM run-rate (~$152.6B at quarter end, ~$164.3B including Atlantic House) and $5.9B of net inflows in Q1, implying a 17% annualized organic growth rate and broad-based flow strength across regions and products.
• Atlantic House acquisition: Closed the $200M purchase adding ~ $4B AUM with ~95 bps revenue yield, financed by new convertibles, which management says is modestly accretive and should lift firm revenue yield by ~2 bps and expand European/defined‑outcome capabilities.
• Revenue and margin expansion: Q1 revenue was $159.5M (+48% YoY) with adjusted net income $40.6M ($0.27), adjusted operating margin widened ~770 bps YoY, and guidance raised (gross margin +1 ppt to 83–84%) reflecting operating leverage and the Atlantic House inclusion.
• Digital asset innovation (WTGXX): The tokenized, ’40 Act money market fund (WTGXX) gained SEC exemptive relief for 24/7 intraday trading, drove record digital AUM (~$867M) and $98M inflows in Q1, and management highlighted partnerships (e.g., StableC) targeting new on‑chain and payments use cases.
• Capital structure and share impact: WisdomTree refinanced and repurchased portions of 2026/2029 convertibles (new notes at 4.5% coupon, $21.58 conversion), expects Q2 weighted diluted shares of ~155–158M before declining to ~154M later in the year, and guided interest expense (~$53M annually), creating mixed effects on dilution and financing cost.
