QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS

Operating Revenues

• Operating revenues increased 17.4% and 33.2% from the third quarter of 2025 and fourth quarter of 2024, respectively, due to revenues arising from the Ceres Acquisition, higher average AUM and higher other revenues attributable to our European listed ETPs. The increase from the fourth quarter of 2024 was partly offset by a lower average advisory fee.
• Our average advisory fee was 0.35% during the third and fourth quarters of 2025 and 0.36% during the fourth quarter of 2024.

Operating Expenses

• Operating expenses increased 9.7% from the third quarter of 2025 primarily due to compensation expense arising from the Ceres Acquisition, fund management and administration expenses, and amortization of intangible assets arising from the Ceres Acquisition. These increases were partly offset by lower acquisition-related costs.
• Operating expenses increased 15.9% from the fourth quarter of 2024 primarily due to compensation expense arising from the Ceres Acquisition and higher headcount, fund management and administration expenses, third-party distribution fees and amortization of intangible assets arising from the Ceres Acquisition. These increases were partly offset by lower professional fees and marketing expenses.

Other Income/(Expenses)

• Interest expense increased 30.2% and 96.3% from the third quarter of 2025 and the fourth quarter of 2024, respectively, due to a higher level of debt outstanding, partly offset by a lower average interest rate.
• Interest income decreased 26.2% and increased 38.1% from the third quarter of 2025 and the fourth quarter of 2024, respectively, due to fluctuations in the level of interest-earning assets.
• Other gains and losses, net, was a gain of $0.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. This included net gains of $0.1 million on our investments. Gains and losses also generally arise from the sale of gold and cryptocurrency earned from advisory fees paid by our physically-backed gold and crypto ETPs, foreign exchange fluctuations and miscellaneous items.

Income Taxes

• Our effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 20.7%, resulting in income tax expense of $10.4 million. The effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to a reduction in the valuation allowance on capital losses and a lower tax rate on foreign earnings. These items were partly offset by state and local income taxes.
• Our adjusted effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 23.4%⁽¹⁾.

ANNUAL HIGHLIGHTS

• Operating revenues increased 15.4% as compared to 2024 due to revenues arising from the Ceres Acquisition, higher average AUM and higher other revenues attributable to our European listed ETPs, partly offset by a lower average advisory fee. Other income for the prior year also included $4.3 million of other revenues related to legal and other related expenses incurred in connection with a settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding certain statements about the ESG screening process for three ETFs advised by WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. (the “SEC ESG Settlement”) that were covered by insurance.
• Operating expenses increased 10.0% as compared to 2024 primarily due to compensation expense arising from the Ceres Acquisition and higher headcount, fund management and administration expenses, acquisition-related costs, third-party distribution fees, occupancy costs and sales and business development expenses. These increases were partly offset by lower professional fees, as the prior year included $5.0 million of expenses incurred in response to an activist campaign and $4.3 million of other revenues related to legal and other related expenses incurred in connection with the SEC ESG Settlement that were covered by insurance.
• Significant items reported in other income/(expense) in 2025 include: an increase in interest expense of 60.9% due to a higher level of debt outstanding, partly offset by a lower average interest rate; a loss on extinguishment of convertible notes of $13.8 million arising from the repurchase of $25.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.75% convertible senior notes due 2028; an increase in interest income of 61.8% due to an increase in our interest-earning assets; net gains on our financial instruments owned of $1.9 million and $1.2 million of foreign currency remeasurement losses on U.S. dollars held by foreign subsidiaries. Gains and losses also generally arise from the sale of gold earned on advisory fees paid by our physically-backed gold ETPs, other foreign exchange fluctuations and miscellaneous items.
• Our effective income tax rate for 2025 was 23.3%, resulting in an income tax expense of $33.1 million. Our tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to a non-deductible loss on extinguishment of convertible notes and state and local income taxes. These items were partly offset by a reduction in the valuation allowance on capital losses and a lower tax rate on foreign earnings.
