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<br>arising from the Ceres Acquisition, higher average AUM and higher other revenues attributable to our European listed ETPs. The increase<br>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,<br>fund management and administration expenses, and amortization of intangible assets arising from the Ceres Acquisition. These increases<br>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<br>and higher headcount, fund management and administration expenses, third-party distribution fees and amortization of intangible assets<br>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<br>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<br>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<br>our investments. Gains and losses also generally arise from the sale of gold and cryptocurrency earned from advisory fees paid by our<br>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<br>tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to a reduction in the valuation allowance on capital losses and<br>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<br>higher other revenues attributable to our European listed ETPs, partly offset by a lower average advisory fee. Other income for the prior<br>year also included $4.3 million of other revenues related to legal and other related expenses incurred in connection with a settlement<br>with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding certain statements about the ESG screening process<br>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<br>higher headcount, fund management and administration expenses, acquisition-related costs, third-party distribution fees, occupancy costs<br>and sales and business development expenses. These increases were partly offset by lower professional fees, as the prior year included<br>$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<br>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<br>of debt outstanding, partly offset by a lower average interest rate; a loss on extinguishment of convertible notes of $13.8 million arising<br>from the repurchase of $25.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.75% convertible senior notes due 2028; an increase in interest<br>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<br>million of foreign currency remeasurement losses on U.S. dollars held by foreign subsidiaries. Gains and losses also generally arise from<br>the sale of gold earned on advisory fees paid by our physically-backed gold ETPs, other foreign exchange fluctuations and miscellaneous<br>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<br>federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to a non-deductible loss on extinguishment of convertible notes and state and local income<br>taxes. These items were partly offset by a reduction in the valuation allowance on capital losses and a lower tax rate on foreign earnings.

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 they 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 Revenues, Operating Income, Operating Expenses, IncomeBefore Income Taxes, Income Tax Expense, Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Share

We disclose adjusted revenues, 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:

Gainsor 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. We exclude these items when calculating our non-GAAP financial measurements as the gains and losses introduce earnings volatility and are not core to our operating business.

Foreigncurrency remeasurement gains and losses on U.S. dollars held by foreign subsidiaries: GAAP requires account balances to be remeasured into an entity’s functional currency, with resulting gains and losses reported in net income. Foreign subsidiaries holding U.S. dollars remeasure these balances into their functional currencies and recognize the gains and losses. Beginning in the second quarter of 2025, we began excluding remeasurement effects from our non-GAAP financial measures, as they introduce earnings volatility, are not core to our operations and arise from balances denominated in our reporting currency.

Taxwindfalls and shortfalls upon vesting of stock-based compensation awards: GAAP requires the recognition of tax windfalls and shortfalls within income tax expense. These items arise upon the vesting 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 earnings volatility and are not core to our operating business.

Amortizationof intangible assets and remeasurement of contingent consideration arising from our acquisition of Ceres Partners, LLC: On October 1, 2025, we completed the Ceres Acquisition for aggregate consideration consisting of (i) $275 million in cash payable at closing, subject to customary post-closing adjustments and (ii) contingent consideration of up to $225 million, payable in 2030, contingent upon Ceres Partners, LLC achieving a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) in revenues of 12% to 22% during the measurement period of January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2029. GAAP requires contingent consideration to be re-measured each reporting period with changes in fair value reported in net income. In addition, a portion of the consideration totaling $143.5 million was allocated to intangible assets, which is amortized over 25 years. We exclude changes in fair value of contingent consideration and amortization of intangible assets arising from the Ceres Acquisition when calculating our non-GAAP financial measurements as these items are not core to our operating business.

Otheritems: Changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowance, loss on extinguishment of convertible notes, acquisition-related costs, imputed interest on our payable to Gold Bullion Holdings (Jersey) Limited (“GBH”) and gains and losses recognized on our investments are excluded when calculating our non-GAAP financial measurements. We also offset revenues and related expenses pertaining to legal and other related expenses covered by insurance as the gross presentation required under GAAP serves to overstate our revenues and expenses in the ordinary course of business.

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 adjusted operating revenues less fund management and administration expenses. Gross margin percentage is calculated as gross margin divided by total adjusted operating revenues.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKINGSTATEMENTS

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 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;
--- ---
· competition in our business;
--- ---
· whether we will experience future growth;
--- ---
· our ability to develop new products and services and their potential for success;
--- ---
· our ability to maintain current vendors or find new vendors to provide services to us at favorable costs;
--- ---
· our ability to successfully implement our strategy relating to digital assets and blockchain-enabled financial services, including<br>WisdomTree Connect^™^and WisdomTree Prime^®^, and achieve its objectives;
--- ---
· our ability to successfully operate and expand our business in non-U.S. markets;
--- ---
· the effect of laws and regulations that apply to our business;
--- ---
· the potential benefits arising from our acquisition of Ceres Partners, LLC, including financial or strategic outcomes; and
--- ---
· our ability to successfully implement our strategic goals relating to the acquisition and integrate the acquired business.
--- ---

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

· declining prices of securities, gold and other precious metals and other commodities and changes in interest rates and general market<br>conditions can adversely affect our business by reducing the market value of the assets we manage or causing WisdomTree ETP investors<br>to sell their fund shares and trigger redemptions;
· fluctuations in the amount and mix of our AUM, whether caused by disruptions in the financial markets or otherwise, including but<br>not limited to events such as a pandemic or war, geopolitical conflicts, political events, acts of terrorism and other matters beyond<br>our control, may negatively impact revenues and operating margins, and may impede our ability to refinance our debt upon maturity or increase<br>the cost of borrowing upon a refinancing;
--- ---
· competitive pressures could reduce revenues and profit margins;
--- ---
· we derive a substantial portion of our revenues from a limited number of products, and, as a result, our operating results are particularly<br>exposed to investor sentiment toward investing in the products’ strategies and our ability to maintain the AUM of these products,<br>as well as the performance of these products and market-specific and political and economic risk;
--- ---
· a significant portion of our AUM is held in products with exposure to U.S. and international developed markets, and we therefore have<br>exposure to domestic and foreign market conditions and are subject to currency exchange rate risks;
--- ---
· withdrawals or broad changes in investments in our ETPs by investors with significant positions may negatively impact revenues and<br>operating margins;
--- ---
· we face increased operational, regulatory, financial and other risks as a result of conducting our business internationally, and as<br>we expand our digital assets product offerings and services beyond our existing ETP business;
--- ---
· many of our ETPs have a limited track record, and poor investment performance could cause our revenues to decline; and
--- ---
· we depend on third parties to provide many critical services to operate our business and our ETPs. The failure of key vendors to adequately<br>provide such services could materially affect our operating business and harm WisdomTree ETP investors.
--- ---

Additional risks include those associated with the acquisition of Ceres Partners, LLC, including the risk that integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected, or that expected benefits (including projected business growth or the ability to raise additional capital into the funds of the acquired business) may not be realized as anticipated. 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, 2024, and in subsequent reports filed with or furnished to the SEC.
