Annual Report 2018

Plain-text annual report

Building the Financial Wellness Network 2018 Annual Report Fellow shareholders, Envestnet enjoyed another year of strong, double-digit growth across numerous metrics, including revenue, adjusted earnings per share, and the number of advisors in 2018. Driven by both organic growth and acquisitions, we are in a unique position to continue building the financial wellness network, powered by our unified data and advice platform. Envestnet’s wealth management operating system, unparalleled in the industry, enables enterprises and advisors to drive better financial outcomes and improve the lives of millions of investors. We firmly believe our growth and value creation opportunities have never been greater than they are today. 2018 Highlights In 2018, total revenue rose 19% over 2017 to $812 million, with equally robust growth in adjusted net income. At year’s end, Envestnet served more than 3,500 enterprise clients and 96,000 advisors—a more than 40% increase from 2017—and we expect to exceed 100,000 advisors this year. The company also saw strong gains in the number of investor accounts to more than 10.8 million, with over 26 million end clients, and advisor-supported assets increasing more than 60% to over $2.7 trillion. This performance reflects continuing demand for the Envestnet platform from both large enterprises and independent registered investment advisors. Investments that Foster Innovation Envestnet began in 2000 as a turnkey asset management platform, providing advisors with access to stocks, bonds, funds and managed accounts. In 2014, we made a decision to broaden our offering to a complete wealth management platform that was data-driven and planning-centric. Now, we have taken a leadership position in defining “financial wellness” and building a wealth-tech ecosystem that empowers advisors to deliver comprehensive financial advice. Envestnet is committed to helping firms, advisors, and their clients achieve better financial outcomes. We know our clients win when they deliver value across all elements of financial wellness, beginning with Financial Planning and including Budgeting, Investing, Managing Credit and Protecting Capital. This distinctive and fuller view of Financial Wellness drives the investments we’ve made over the course of 2018 and into the first quarter of this year, in each of the five key elements, fueling both short- and long-term growth opportunities—for us and for the advisors we serve. • Financial Planning: In March 2019, Envestnet announced plans to acquire PIEtech, creator of MoneyGuide financial planning applications. Acquiring an industry leader in goals-based financial planning accelerates fulfillment of our vision for enabling Financial Wellness. This move comes on the heels of announcing our collaborative partnership with Apprise Labs and PIEtech earlier this year. Apprise Labs is developing a transformative advisor and client collaboration tool, addressing tax-management and legacy and estate planning. These new capabilities will greatly expand our Logix financial planning solutions and empower advisors to deliver more comprehensive plans and broader advice. • Budgeting and Personal Financial Management: In May 2018, Envestnet Yodlee unveiled two new financial wellness applications and APIs, OK to Spend and AI FinCheck for financial institutions and FinTech innovators, to help consumers by dynamically monitoring their financial health and providing actionable guidance. Ok to Spend uses machine learning to understand consumers’ recurring cash inflows and outflows and predict likely cash balances, helping them better manage their spending. AI FinCheck dynamically measures consumers’ financial health, delivering personalized insights and guidance to help reach financial goals. 2 ENVESTNET 2018 ANNUAL REPORT• Investing: In September 2018, Envestnet became one of the first companies to partner with TD Ameritrade and Schwab to streamline and fully digitize the account opening process, improving the onboarding experience for both advisors and their clients. • Managing Credit: In early 2019, we established a partnership with Advisor Credit Exchange to integrate lending services via single sign-on access to the Envestnet platform, enabling advisors to expand their offerings and enhance this pillar of financial wellness through our suite of services. This solution is expected to be fully integrated into our platforms in fall 2019. • Protecting Capital: In 2018, we introduced the Envestnet Insurance Exchange, Envestnet iX, a program that integrates insurance solutions into the wealth management process on the Envestnet platform, further streamlining advisors’ ability to deliver the full lifecycle of advice to clients. It is now in pilot with a robust lineup of six major carriers with plans for a broad- market release in June 2019. As a fully integrated suite of solutions, our unified data and advice platform enables advisors to achieve better financial outcomes and to drive improved productivity that allows them to grow their customer base. As our clients grow, so does Envestnet. Envestnet’s innovations across the five elements not only serve to benefit advisors and their customers, but also to deliver solutions for the advisors’ enterprise. In May 2018, we debuted Envestnet Vision, our new enterprise data management solution, which seamlessly aggregates, reconciles and enriches data from multiple systems. Vision enables better and faster decision-making for firms and their clients, to not only provide actionable insights for clients, but also to stay competitive and gain market share. To foster greater innovation and collaboration, we have organized the company into two business units from four. Envestnet Wealth Solutions, led by Bill Crager, focuses on innovation and market growth of our wealth management solutions, which serve registered investment advisors (RIAs), independent broker dealers, banks, and other financial institutions. Envestnet Data & Analytics, led by Stuart DePina, focuses on continued development of our data aggregation, enterprise data management, and analytics offerings that support the company’s wealth management, financial institution, and FinTech customers, offered through the Envestnet Yodlee platform. This alignment better positions our company to fulfill our vision for enabling Financial Wellness. Acquisitions and Alliances We continue to strengthen our Financial Wellness network through organic growth, enhanced relationships with enterprises, advisors, and network partners, entering into new alliances and pursuing complementary acquisitions. As we deepen client relationships and add new ones, we expand the number of participants in our financial wellness network, strengthening our competitive advantage and enhancing our network effects for the benefit of our clients. Several noteworthy highlights include: • In 2018, we announced a partnership with BlackRock, Inc., to drive the transformation of the wealth industry through the evolution of tech solutions. This partnership strengthens the capabilities of both companies to provide a framework for a more digital and comprehensive future of financial advice. As part of this strategic partnership, BlackRock also invested approximately $125 million of its own funds to acquire an equity stake of approximately 4.9% in Envestnet. • The acquisition of Abe AI enables Envestnet Yodlee’s new Conversational AI, improving the way financial service providers can interact with their consumers. We now enable them to connect directly across all major conversational systems, including Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Technology continues to transform the way investors seek advice and information. • Our recent acquisition of PortfolioCenter, Charles Schwab’s portfolio management and reporting technology solution, allows us to provide an even higher level of service to independent RIAs with our open wealth-tech ecosystem. We have a solid history of innovation with advisor portfolio management solutions, and this acquisition is another example of how we enhance our integrated technology platform for client firms. • The addition of MoneyGuide, through our acquisition of PIEtech mentioned earlier, further broadens and enhances our integrated wealth management platform, supporting our vision for enabling Financial Wellness. With MoneyGuide’s financial planning applications more deeply integrated into Envestnet’s wealth management solutions, enterprises, advisors and their clients can benefit from a frictionless experience, driving higher productivity and better outcomes. 3 ENVESTNET 2018 ANNUAL REPORTStrategic acquisitions are accelerating Envestnet’s growth strategy in a number of ways: expanding our network partners makes our dataset richer; facilitating business and technology benefits from complementary capabilities; improving our product offerings; and expanding our addressable markets. Integrated Technology Our open-architecture wealth-tech applications allow enterprises and advisors to further leverage and integrate technology into their practices, freeing up more time for them to spend with clients. Our unified platform offers our clients choice yet retains the benefits of full integration across the entire stack of wealth-tech applications, including data aggregation and analytics, financial planning, investment solutions, portfolio management, rebalancing, reporting, digital advice, client portals, and clearing and custody. Our offerings enable unmatched breadth and depth of fiduciary solutions, wealth management technologies and services, and data and analytics capabilities. These can be either integrated in smart, expert-led systems, accessed via our open APIs, or unbundled to meet a wide range of customer needs. The Opportunity Ahead As we approach our 20th anniversary in 2020, we expect to continue to expand our business through implementation of a number of growth strategies: First, we continue to evolve our focus from being the number one platform in wealth management to building the leading financial wellness network, powered by our unified data and advice-centric operating system. Second, we are capitalizing on our new organizational structure, enhancing our ability to meet evolving market imperatives, to drive further growth. Finally, we are expanding into new markets through the initiatives outlined earlier: strategic integrations with leading firms; building out advanced analytics and data science that drives actionable intelligence and better financial outcomes; and making disciplined acquisitions that create value for our financial advisors, their clients, and our shareholders. As always, I want to thank my Envestnet colleagues for their hard work and dedication, our clients for their continuing partnership, and our shareholders for your support. We will continue to do all we can to earn your ongoing trust and confidence. Sincerely, Jud Bergman, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, Envestnet, Inc. 4 ENVESTNET 2018 ANNUAL REPORTFinancial Highlights for the year ended December 31, 2018 812 158 $ $ 2017 684 129 % Change 19% 22% $ $ as of December 31, 2017 2018 2016 $ 105,178 241,682 346,860 978,344 $ 1,325,204 545,130 994,583 1,539,713 4,596,984 6,136,697 $ 150,591 291,934 442,525 2,314,253 $ 2,756,778 $ $ 141,518 308,480 449,998 1,253,528 1,703,526 685,925 1,217,697 1,903,622 5,054,015 6,957,637 816,354 1,182,764 1,999,118 8,865,435 10,864,553 40,103 56,237 96,340 40,485 25,566 66,051 36,483 22,996 59,479 (in millions) Revenues Adjusted EBITDA Operating Metrics Platform Assets (in millions) Assets Under Management (AUM) Assets Under Administration (AUA) TOTAL AUM/A Subscription TOTAL PLATFORM ASSETS Platform Accounts AUM AUA TOTAL AUM/A Subscription TOTAL PLATFORM ACCOUNTS Advisors AUM/A Subscription TOTAL ADVISORS Note: Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.

According to Capgemini's 2018 World Wealth report, global high-net-worthfinancial wealth is on course to exceed $100 trillion by 2025, up $30 trillion from 2017.In the next 5-10 years, fewer firms will manage far more assets at a significantly lower cost. Industry margins will be squeezed making scale andoperational efficiency far more important. Firms will need to integrate technology in all areas of the business and develop a clear strategy for the future. Aslow-cost products gain share and larger firms benefit from scale economies, there will likely be further consolidation and new forms of collaboration.A number of significant trends are impacting the wealth management industry. Market forces are converging to bring about changes in wealthmanagement, including those described below:•More consumers are recognizing the need for advice and are willing to pay for it. Consumers are also becoming more cost conscious and techsavvy. They want advice to be objective and non-conflicted.•Investment advice will be rooted in financial planning and centered on achieving investor goals.•There are significant gaps between the services investors actually receive and the wealth management services they would like to receive. Thekey change that wealth managers must deliver today is personalization.•Federal and state regulations and investor demand are changing, and a fiduciary standard is expected to become more broadly applicable in theinvestor-advisor relationship. According to Cerulli Associates Managed Accounts Qualitative Update 2018, fiduciary assets representedapproximately 45% of industry assets as of 2017.•Based on data from Cerulli Associates, fee-based financial advisory services topped $10 trillion in 2017 and advisors had discretion over 57%of managed account assets in 2017 which is expected to climb to 59% by 2021.•Advisors are personally managing $2.8 trillion in assets but as Envestnet’s September 2018 Envestat showed, those advisors who attempt to “doit all” are experiencing mixed results, at best. Only a small percentage of advisors succeed at outperforming the market, and those advisors whodo so have relatively fewer accounts and assets in their care. This opens the door to potentially more outsourcing of investment management byadvisors to professional money managers and strategists.•According to various media sources, a massive wealth transfer estimated at $30 trillion is expected to take place over the next 30 to 40 years asbaby boomers transition assets to their offspring (Gen X and Gen Y), who tend to favor greater use of technology in their engagement withadvisors and prefer access to advice and their assets anywhere, anytime, and on any device.•Technology is transforming the financial advice industry. Control is shifting from manufacturers and distributors of products to consumers. Asconsumers become better informed in an increasingly complex market, they not only seek guided advice, but they seek unbiased advisors whoput their best interest first. They demand greater transparency in product pricing. •Digital technology is revolutionizing the way financial advisors can do business as they increasingly employ technology to service clients.•Financial services firms will need to be able to interact with customers on a digital basis via investor portals and other technology.•Regulations and digital advice start-ups are putting pressure on advisor and firm fees and profit margins. To survive and thrive, advisors willneed to increasingly rely on technology to achieve efficiency and scale to serve a growing client base.•We are entering a new era of the unified advisory platform (“UAP”), a single, all-encompassing platform, which creates one advisorysuperstructure. The UAP will drive profound changes throughout the financial services industry and will remove structural silos. The mostimportant feature of a UAP is the aggregation of all programs on a unified technology architecture. The UAP gives advisors a comprehensiveview of a client's entire household portfolio. It simplifies portfolio management by allowing the advisor to organize all the client's advisoryaccounts from a single desktop portal. Nearly half of managed account sponsors are moving towards a single account architecture, but three-quarters of firms say this could take more than a year or two to achieve.These trends are impacting Envestnet’s business and creating a significant market opportunity for technology‑enabled investment solutions andservices like ours.A technological shift is also underway in the broader financial services industry. Outdated enterprise hardware and software are being replaced bycloud-driven solutions that are easier and less expensive to implement, update and manage. Banks continue to spend heavily on IT in order to competeeffectively in an increasingly competitive environment. The addressable market opportunity is large.•As financial institutions continue to spend on technology, we believe a growing proportion of that spending will shift to cloud-based solutions.10Table of Contents•In addition to the opportunity that exists with traditional financial institutions, we believe that we also have a significant opportunity withInternet services companies providing innovative financial solutions. •Open platforms and application-level developer ecosystems are driving innovation forward. New technology platforms are leveraging big data.•As mentioned in PwC’s Asset and Wealth Management report, investors want solutions for specific needs, not products that fit style boxes.Technology is enabling outcome-based planning. It can quickly identify important life goals and solutions to match. Technology and dataanalytics are expected to be used to construct multi-asset outcome-based solutions using low-cost building blocks such as ETFs or indextrackers. For just a small fee, computer algorithms will be able to create customized solutions.•It is widely believed that technology is set to disrupt all areas of wealth management. Studies have shown that:◦58% of an advisor’s occupation can be digitized using AI; ◦73% of 18 to 34 year olds would try a tech firm’s credit card, deposit account, investment or mortgage; and◦69% of advisory firms’ websites are optimized for mobile use.•A report from Roubini Thought Lab indicated that by 2022, the “SMAC” stack (social, mobile, analytics, and cloud) will become a necessity forinvestment providers, and over half of those surveyed plan to use a cloud platform to replace their legacy systems. Digitally advanced firms nowspend approximately 17% of their revenue on technology and plan to increase that investment to 24% by 2022.•Given that clients expect to be able to access their account information from any device at any time, advisors (and financial services firms ingeneral) must be prepared to interact with clients through a wider range of communication channels. New technologies are being adopted bywealth management firms to better communicate with clients and give them the same type of experience they receive in other aspects of theirlives, such as using devices like Amazon’s Alexa and video performance reports.As we continue to expand our presence in the markets outlined above, the number of potential end users who use our solutions increasesdramatically. Our potential end user base includes any consumer of financial services on the Internet—and this end user could be a paid user of Envestnet |Yodlee many times over across multiple customers and products.Business ModelEnvestnet’s business model lends itself to a high degree of recurring and predictable revenues. Envestnet provides asset-based, subscription-basedand professional services on a business-to-business-to-consumer (“B2B2C”) basis to financial services clients, whereby customers offer solutions based onour platform to their end users. On a business-to-business (“B2B”) basis, we deliver an open platform to customers and third-party developers through anopen API framework. We believe that a number of characteristics contribute to the success of our business model, including:•Favorable trends with respect to growth in fee-based assets and need for advanced technology; •Recurring and resilient revenue base; and•Strong customer retention.Revenue is generated in the following three categories:Asset-based recurring revenuesAsset-based recurring revenues primarily consist of fees for providing customers continuous access to platform services through the Company’suniquely customized platforms. These platform services include investment manager research, portfolio diagnostics, proposal generation, investment modelmanagement, rebalancing and trading, portfolio performance reporting and monitoring solutions, billing and back office and middle-office operations andadministration and are made available to customers throughout the contractual term from the date the customized platform is launched. The asset-based fees the Company earns are generally based upon variable percentages of assets managed or administered on our platforms. The feepercentage varies based on the level and type of services the Company provides to its customers, as well as the values of existing customer accounts. Thevalues of the customer accounts are affected by inflows or outflows of customer funds and market fluctuations.In approximately 90% of asset‑based fee arrangements, customers are billed at the beginning of each quarter based on the market value of customerassets on our wealth management platforms as of the end of the prior quarter, providing for a high degree of revenue visibility in the current quarter. Revenuemay fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on changes in asset values, fee rates on those asset values and asset flows. 11Table of ContentsSubscription-based recurring revenuesSubscription-based recurring revenues primarily consist of fees for providing customers continuous access to the Company’s platform for wealthmanagement and financial wellness. The subscription-based fees generally include fixed fees and or usage-based fees.Envestnet’s subscription fees are also highly predictable because they are generally established in multi‑year contracts providing longer‑termvisibility regarding that portion of total revenues.Subscription fees vary based on the scope of technology solutions and services being used, and are priced in a variety of constructs based on the sizeof the business, number of users or number of accounts, and in many cases can increase over time based on the growth of these factors.Professional Services and OtherEnvestnet also generates revenue from professional services for client onboarding, technology development and other project related work. Growth Strategy Envestnet intends to increase revenue and profitability by continuing to pursue the following strategies:•Add new enterprise clients;•Increase our advisor base;•Extend the account base within a given advisor relationship;•Expand the services utilized by each advisor or enterprise client, including the cross selling of services across Envestnet’s business lines whereapplicable; •Continue to invest in our technology platforms and data analytics capabilities; and•Continue to pursue strategic transactions and other relationships.Technology PlatformsOur technology platforms feature a three‑tier architecture integrating a Web‑based user interface, an application tier that houses the business logicfor all of the platforms’ functionality and a SQL Server databases. The application tier resides behind load balancers which distribute the workload demandsacross our servers. We believe our technology design allows for significant scalability.Envestnet undergoes an annual SSAE 16 SOC 1 Type II audit to validate the continued operation of our internal controls on three of its maintechnology platforms; the Unified Managed Platform, the Unified Managed Platform (Institutional) and Tamarac platforms. The SOC reports confirm designand operating effectiveness of internal controls. We maintain multiple redundancies, back up our databases and safeguard technologies and proprietaryinformation consistent with industry best practices. We also maintain a comprehensive business continuity plan and company‑wide risk assessment programthat is consistent with industry best practices and that complies with applicable regulatory requirements.We have historically made significant investments in platform development in order to enhance and expand our technology platforms and expect tocontinue to make significant investments in the future. In the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, we incurred technology development coststotaling approximately $52,840, $40,800 and $38,100, respectively. Of these costs, we capitalized approximately $24,000, $12,600 and $8,600,respectively, as internally developed software. We expect to continue focusing our technology development efforts principally on adding features to increaseour market competitiveness, enhancements to improve operating efficiency, address regulatory demands and reduce risk and client‑driven requests for newcapabilities.Our proprietary Web‑based platforms provide financial advisors with access to investment solutions and services that address, in one unified,centrally‑hosted platform, based on our knowledge of the industry, the widest range of front‑, middle‑ and back‑office needs in our industry. The “openarchitecture” design of our technology platforms provide financial advisors with flexibility in terms of the investment solutions and services they access, andconfigurability in the manner in which the financial advisors utilize particular investment solutions and services. The multi‑tenant platform architectureensures that this level of flexibility and customization is achieved without requiring us to create unique applications for each client, thereby reducing theneed for additional technology personnel and associated expenses. In addition, though our technology platforms12Table of Contentsare designed to deliver a breadth of functions, financial advisors are able to select from the various investment solutions and services we offer, without beingrequired to subscribe to or purchase more than what they believe is necessary.Our data aggregation platform collects a wide variety of end user-permissioned transaction-level data from over 20,000 sources and puts it in acommon repository. Envestnet | Yodlee developed robust proprietary technology and processes and established relationships that allow us to curate thesedata sources and expand our access to new data sources. Over 60% of this data is collected through structured feeds from our FI customers and other FIs.These structured feeds, which consist of either batch files pushed to us or real-time access, provide this critical data efficiently and at scale. Where we do nothave direct connections, we capture data using our proprietary information-gathering techniques.Beyond collecting data, our data aggregation platform performs a data refining process and augments the data with additional information from avariety of other sources. We enrich the data with a proprietary twelve-step process, adding such elements as categorization and merchant identification forbank or credit card account data and security identification, classification and normalization for investment data. As our platform usage grows and is exposedto more users and use cases, the system benefits from machine learning algorithms to better normalize, categorize and process large amounts of data, allowingour network to become more effective, efficient and valuable to our customers. Utilizing this enhanced data, including consolidated data from within our FIcustomers and account data regarding accounts at other FIs, our data intelligence organizes, analyzes and presents it in a manner that helps our customersoffer personalized solutions that enable their consumers to achieve better financial outcomes.Our analytics platform provides a highly scalable cloud based environment that supports a cost effective and secure way of handling very large datasets, permitting us to develop and test new machine learning algorithms and transform these data sets using the resulting models. The results of thecomputations can be accessed interactively, as files, or via API access through our data aggregation platform.Our money movement solutions facilitate payment flows. Our customers can debit and credit consumer and small business accounts in real time or inbatches and route payments between accounts (funds transfer), to billers (bill pay), or to other individuals (peer to peer). Designed to be run as a service, ourmoney movement solutions allow us to operate these functionalities in the cloud and quickly adapt to new payment systems. Our payment engine, which is aprincipal component of our money movement solutions, is a task-based payment processing platform that controls all payment activity across cobrands,originators, processors and billers.Customers•Financial advisors that are working alone or as part of financial advisory firms.

RegulationOverviewThe financial services industry is among the most extensively regulated industries in the United States. We operate investment advisory, broker-dealer and mutual fund advisory businesses, each of which is subject to a specific regulatory scheme, including regulation at the federal and state level, aswell as regulation by self-regulatory organizations and non-U.S. regulatory authorities. In addition, we are subject to numerous laws and regulations ofgeneral application.Our subsidiaries Envestnet Asset Management, Inc. (“EAM”), Envestnet Portfolio Solutions, Inc. (“EPS”) and, FDX Advisors, Inc. and ERS operateinvestment advisory businesses. These subsidiaries are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as “investment advisers” underthe Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), and are regulated thereunder. They may also provide fiduciary services as defined inSection 3(21)(A)(ii) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), including acting as an “investment manager” (as defined inSection 3(38) of ERISA). As described further below, many of our investment advisory programs are conducted pursuant to the non-exclusive safe harborfrom the definition of an “investment company” provided for under Rule 3a-4 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “InvestmentCompany Act”). If Rule 3a-4 were to cease to be available, or if the SEC were to modify the rule or its interpretation of how the rule is applied, it could have asubstantial effect on our business. EAM serves as the investment adviser to two mutual funds. Mutual funds are registered as “investment companies” underthe Investment Company Act. The Advisers Act, Investment Company Act and ERISA, together with related regulations and interpretations of the SEC,impose numerous obligations and restrictions on investment advisers and mutual funds, including recordkeeping requirements, limitations on advertising,disclosure and reporting obligations, prohibitions on fraudulent activities and detailed operating requirements, including restrictions on transactionsbetween an adviser and its clients, and between a mutual fund and its advisers and affiliates. The fiduciary obligations of investment advisers to their clientsrequire advisers to, among other things, consider the suitability of the investment products and advice they provide, seek “best execution” for their clients’securities transactions, conduct due diligence on third-party products offered to clients, consider the appropriateness of the adviser’s fees and provideextensive and ongoing disclosure to clients. The application of these15Table of Contentsrequirements to wrap fee programs is particularly complex and the SEC has in the past scrutinized firms’ compliance with these requirements. The SEC isauthorized to institute proceedings and impose fines and sanctions for violations of the Advisers Act and the Investment Company Act and has the power torestrict or prohibit an investment adviser from carrying on its business in the event that it fails to comply with applicable laws and regulations. Although webelieve we are in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of the Advisers Act and the Investment Company Act and the rules andinterpretations promulgated thereunder, our failure to comply with such laws, rules and interpretations could have a material adverse effect on us.Portfolio Brokerage Services, Inc., (“PBS”), our broker-dealer subsidiary, is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC under the Exchange Act, in all50 states and the District of Columbia. In addition, PBS is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the securities industry self-regulatory organization that supervises and regulates the conduct and activities of broker-dealers. Broker-dealers are subject to regulations that cover allaspects of their business, including sales practices, market making and trading among broker-dealers, use and safekeeping of customers’ funds and securities,capital structure, record-keeping and the conduct of directors, officers, employees, representatives and associated persons. FINRA and the SEC conductperiodic examinations of the operations of its members, including PBS. Violation of applicable regulations can result in the suspension or revocation of abroker-dealer’s registration, the imposition of censures or fines and the suspension or expulsion of the broker-dealer from FINRA. PBS is subject to minimumnet capital requirements under the Exchange Act, SEC and FINRA rules and conducts its business pursuant to the exemption from the SEC’s customerprotection rule provided by Rule 15c3-3(k)(2)(i) under the Exchange Act. As of December 31, 2018, PBS was required to maintain a minimum of $100 in netcapital and its actual net capital was $1,259.Envestnet | Yodlee is examined on a periodic basis by various regulatory agencies.

In addition, numerous regulations have been proposed and are still being written to implement the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform andConsumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), for enhanced due diligence of the internal systems and processes of companies like ours by theirfinancial institutions customers.Our subsidiaries are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations that grant supervisory agencies, including the SEC and OCC, broadadministrative powers. In the event of a failure to comply with these laws and regulations, the possible sanctions that may be imposed include the suspensionof individual employees, limitations on the permissibility of our regulated subsidiaries and our other subsidiaries to engage in business for specified periodsof time, censures, fines and the revocation of registration as a broker-dealer or investment adviser, as applicable. Additionally, the securities laws and otherregulations applicable to us and our subsidiaries provide for certain private rights of action that could give rise to civil litigation. Any litigation could havesignificant financial and non-financial consequences including monetary judgments and the requirement to take action or limit activities that couldultimately affect our business.Many of the laws and regulations to which our subsidiaries are subject are evolving, unclear and inconsistent across various jurisdictions, andensuring compliance with them is difficult and costly. We continually develop improvements to our existing products and services as well as new productsand services. Many of these improvements or new products and services may implicate regulations to which we may not already be subject or with which wemay not have experience. New laws or regulations, or changes in existing laws or regulations or interpretations of existing laws and regulations, includingthose relating to the activities of our investment adviser, broker-dealer and financial institution clients, may occur that could increase our compliance andother costs of doing business, require significant changes to our systems or solutions or substantially change the way that our clients operate their businesses.Compliance with any new or revised regulatory requirements may divert internal resources, be expensive and time-consuming and may require increasedinvestment in compliance functions or new technologies. Failure to comply with the laws and regulations to which we and our subsidiaries are subject couldresult in fines, penalties or limitations on our ability to conduct our business, or federal or state actions, any of which could significantly harm our reputation,and could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.16Table of ContentsInvestment Advisory Program Conducted Under Rule 3a-4Under the Investment Company Act, an issuer that is engaged in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities may be deemed an“investment company,” in which case the issuer may be subject to registration requirements and regulation as an investment company under the InvestmentCompany Act. In order to provide assurance that certain discretionary investment advisory programs would not be considered investment companies, theSEC adopted Rule 3a-4 under the Investment Company Act, which provides a non-exclusive safe harbor from the definition of an investment company forprograms that meet the requirements of the rule. We conduct the following programs pursuant to the Rule 3a-4 safe harbor:•Separately managed accounts;•Unified managed account portfolios;•Mutual fund portfolios and exchange-traded fund portfolios; and•Advisor as portfolio manager.We believe that, to the extent we exercise discretion over accounts in any of these programs, these programs qualify for the safe-harbor because all ofthe programs have the following characteristics, which are generally required in order for a program to be eligible for the Rule 3a-4 safe harbor:•Each client account is managed on the basis of the client’s financial situation, investment objectives and reasonable client-imposed investmentrestrictions;•At the opening of the account, the client’s financial advisor obtains information from the client and provides us with the client’s financial situation,investment objectives and reasonable restrictions;•On no less than an annual basis, the client’s financial advisor contacts the client to determine whether there have been any changes in the client’sfinancial situation or investment objectives, and whether the client wishes to impose any reasonable restrictions on the management of the accountor reasonably modify existing restrictions. This information is communicated to us and reflected in our management of client accounts;•On a quarterly basis, we or another designated person (in most cases this will be the client’s financial advisor) notify the client to contact us oranother designated person if there have been any changes to the client’s financial position or investment objectives or if the client wishes to imposeany reasonable restrictions on the management of the account;•We, the client’s financial advisor and the manager of the client’s account, all of whom are knowledgeable about the account and its management, arereasonably available to the client for consultation;•All of the programs allow each client to impose reasonable restrictions on the management of his or her account;•On at least a quarterly basis, the client is provided with a statement containing a description of all activity in the client’s account during thepreceding period, including all transactions made on behalf of the account, all contributions and withdrawals made by the client, all fees andexpenses charged to the account and the value of the account at the beginning and end of the period; and•For all of the programs, each client retains, with respect to all securities and funds in the client’s account, the right to withdraw securities or cash,vote securities, or delegate the authority to vote securities to another person, receive written confirmation or other notification of each securitiestransaction by the client’s independent custodian and proceed directly as a security holder against the issuer of any security in the client’s accountwithout the obligation to include us or any other client of the program in any such action as a condition precedent to initiating such proceeding.EmployeesAs of December 31, 2018, we had 3,920 employees, including employees in operations, research and development, engineering and systems,executive and corporate functions, sales and marketing and investment management and research. Of these 3,920 employees, 1,429 were located in theUnited States, 2,475 were located in India and 16 were located in other international locations. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. Wehave never experienced a work stoppage and believe our relationship with our employees is positive.17Table of ContentsExecutive Officers of the RegistrantThe following table summarizes information about each one of our executive officers.Name Age Position(s)Judson Bergman 62 Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, DirectorAnil Arora (1) 58 Vice Chairman, Chief Executive of Envestnet | YodleeWilliam Crager 54 PresidentPeter D’Arrigo 51 Chief Financial OfficerScott Grinis 57 Chief Technology OfficerShelly O’Brien 53 Chief Legal Officer, General Counsel and Corporate SecretaryBrandon Thomas 55 Chief Investment OfficerJosh Mayer 45 Chief Operating Officer(1)We previously announced that, on February 28, 2019, Mr. Arora stepped down as Vice Chairman and Chief Executive of Envestnet | Yodlee.Judson Bergman—Mr. Bergman is the founder of our company and has served as our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and a director since 1999.Prior to founding our company, Mr. Bergman was Managing Director at Nuveen Investments, Inc.

An investor or potential investor should consider the risks summarized in this section when makinginvestment decisions regarding our securities offerings. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk factors set forth below. The risksand uncertainties described in this section are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currentlybelieve are immaterial may also affect our business. If any of these known or unknown risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial conditionand results of operations could be materially adversely affected.Risks Related to Our BusinessWe have experienced rapid revenue growth, which may be difficult to sustain and which may place significant demands on our administrative, operationaland financial resources and any inability to maintain or manage our growth could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financialcondition or business.Our revenues during the three years ended December 31, 2018 have grown at a compound annual growth rate of 19%. We expect our growth tocontinue, which could place additional demands on our resources and increase our expenses. Our future growth will depend on, among other things, ourability to successfully grow our total assets under management and administration by adding new investment solutions and services and add additionalclients. If we are unable to implement our growth strategy, adding new investment solutions and services and gain new clients, our results of operations,financial condition or business may be materially adversely affected.Sustaining growth will also require us to commit additional management, operational and financial resources and to maintain appropriateoperational and financial systems. In addition, continued growth increases the challenges involved in:•recruiting, training and retaining sufficiently skilled technical, marketing, sales and management personnel;•preserving our culture, values and entrepreneurial environment;•successfully expanding the range of investment solutions and services offered to our clients;•developing and improving our internal administrative infrastructure, particularly our financial, operational, compliance, record‑keeping,communications and other internal systems; and•maintaining high levels of satisfaction with our investment solutions and services among clients.There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain or accelerate our growth, and any failure to do so could adversely affect our results ofoperations, financial condition or business.Our growth strategy includes growing through acquisitions and acquisitions involve a number of risks.We expect to grow our business by, among other things, making acquisitions. Over the past four years we have completed a number of acquisitions.Acquisitions involve a number of risks. They can be time‑consuming and may divert management’s attention from day‑to‑day operations. Financing anacquisition could result in dilution from issuing equity securities or a weaker balance sheet from using cash or incurring debt. Acquisitions might also resultin losing key employees. In addition, we may fail to successfully integrate acquisitions. We may also fail to generate enough revenues or profits from anacquisition to earn a return on the associated purchase price.19Table of ContentsTo the extent we grow our business through acquisitions, any such future acquisitions could present a number of other risks, including:•incorrect assumptions regarding the future results of acquired operations or assets or expected cost reductions or other synergies expected to berealized as a result of acquiring operations or assets;•failure to integrate the operations or management of any acquired operations or assets successfully and on a timely and cost effective basis;•insufficient knowledge of the operations and markets of acquired businesses;•loss of key personnel;•failure to obtain necessary customer consents or retain key customers;•diversion of management’s attention from existing operations or other priorities;•increased costs or liabilities as a result of historical, undetected or undisclosed legal, regulatory or financial issues related to acquired operationsor assets; and•inability to secure, on terms we find acceptable, sufficient financing that may be required for any such acquisition or investment.In addition, if we are unsuccessful in completing acquisitions of other businesses, operations or assets or if such opportunities for expansion do notarise, our results of operations, financial condition or business could be materially adversely affected.Our failure to successfully execute the conversion of our clients’ assets from their technology platform to our platforms in a timely and accurate mannercould have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.When we begin working with a new client, or acquire new client assets through an acquisition or other transaction, we are often required to convertall or a significant portion of assets from the clients’ technology platform to our technology platforms. These conversions present significant technologicaland operational challenges that can be time‑consuming and may divert management’s attention from other operational activities. If we fail to successfullycomplete our conversions in a timely and accurate manner, we may be required to expend more time and resources than anticipated, which could erode theprofitability of the client relationship. In addition, any such failure may harm our reputation and may make it less likely that prospective clients will committo working with us. Any of these risks could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.We have a significant amount of debt and servicing our debt requires a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from ourbusiness to service our debt.As of December 31, 2018, we had no borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility (the “Second Amended and Restated CreditAgreement”), $172,500 of outstanding 1.75% convertible notes due in 2019 (the “2019 Notes”) and $345,000 of outstanding 1.75% convertible notes due in2023 (the “2023 Notes”). As of December 31, 2018, we had an additional $350,000 available under our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.This indebtedness could, among other things:•make it difficult for us to pay other obligations;•make it difficult to obtain favorable terms for any necessary future financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirementsor other purposes;•require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to service the indebtedness, reducing the amount of cash flowavailable for other purposes; and•limit our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business.Our revenue can fluctuate from period to period, which could cause our share price to fluctuate.Our revenue may fluctuate from period‑to‑period in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. Factors relating toour business that may contribute to these fluctuations include the following events, as well as other factors described elsewhere in this document:•a decline or slowdown of the growth in the value of financial market assets, which may reduce the value of assets under management andadministration and therefore our revenues and cash flows;•negative public perception and reputation of the financial services industry, which would reduce demand for our investment solutions andservices;20Table of Contents•unanticipated changes to economic terms in contracts with clients, including renegotiations;•downward pressure on fees we charge our clients, which would therefore reduce our revenue;•changes in laws or regulations that could impact our ability to offer investment solutions and services;•failure to obtain new clients;•cancellation or non‑renewal of existing contracts with clients;•failure to protect our proprietary technology and intellectual property rights;•unanticipated delays in connection with the conversion of client assets onto our technology platforms;•changes to or a reduction in the suite of investment solutions and services we provide to, or used by, existing clients;•changes in our pricing policies or the pricing policies of our competitors to which we have to adapt;•adverse effects from actual or perceived errors, breaches of contract, confidentiality, privacy, or fiduciary obligations;•fluctuations in currency exchange rates; and•general economic and political conditions, both domestically and internationally, as well as economic conditions specifically affectingindustries in which our customers operate.As a result of these and other factors, the results of operations for any quarterly or annual period may differ materially from the results of operationsfor any prior or future quarterly or annual period and should not be relied upon as indications of our future performance.Because some of our sales efforts are targeted at large financial institutions and large Internet services companies, we face prolonged sales cycles,substantial upfront sales costs and less predictability in completing some of our sales. If our sales cycle lengthens, or if our upfront sales investments do notresult in sufficient revenue, our operating results may be harmed.We target a portion of our sales efforts at large financial institutions and large Internet services companies, which presents challenges that aredifferent from those we encounter with smaller customers. Because our large customers are often making an enterprise-wide decision to deploy our solutions,we face longer sales cycles, complex customer requirements, substantial upfront sales costs, significant contract negotiations and less predictability incompleting sales with these customers. Our sales cycle can often last one year or more with our largest customers, who often undertake an extendedevaluation process, but is variable and difficult to predict. We anticipate that we will experience even longer sales cycles, more complex customer needs,higher upfront sales costs and less predictability in completing sales with customers located outside of the United States. If our sales cycle lengthens or ourupfront sales investments do not generate sufficient revenue to justify our investments in our sales efforts, our operating results may be harmed.Failure of our customers to deploy our solutions in a timely and successful manner could negatively affect our revenue and operating results.The timing of revenue from our customers depends on a number of factors outside of our control and may vary from period to period. Our customersmay request customization of our solutions for their systems or engage in a prolonged, internal decision making process regarding the deployment of oursolutions. Among our larger customers, deployment of our solutions can be a complex and prolonged process and requires integration into the existingplatform on our customers’ systems. Any delay during the deployment process related to technical difficulties experienced by our customers or us inintegrating our solutions into our customers’ systems could further lengthen the deployment period and create additional costs or customer dissatisfaction.During the deployment period, we expend substantial time, effort, and financial resources to assist our customers with the deployment. We generally are notable to recognize the full potential value of our customer contracts until our customers actually deploy our solutions. Cancellation of any deployment after ithas begun could result in lost time, effort, and expenses invested in the cancelled deployment process, and would adversely affect our ability to recognizerevenue that we anticipated at the time of the execution of the related customer contract. If our customers do not timely and successfully deploy oursolutions, our future revenue and operating results could be negatively impacted.We operate in highly competitive industries, with many firms competing for business from financial advisors and financial institutions on the basis of anumber of factors, including the quality and breadth of investment solutions and services, ability to innovate, reputation and the prices of services and thiscompetition could hurt our financial performance.In our wealth solutions technology solutions business, we compete with many different types of companies that vary in size and scope, includingcustodians, turnkey asset management platforms, data and analytics providers, and other financial technology companies. Representative examples ofcompetitors include Pershing LLC (a subsidiary of BNY Mellon Corporation), AssetMark, Inc., Advent Software (a subsidiary of SS&C TechnologiesHoldings, Inc.), Orion Advisor Services, and Plaid Technologies Inc. Competition is discussed in greater detail under “Business—Competition” included inthis21Table of ContentsForm 10‑K. In addition, some of our clients have developed or may develop the in‑house capability to provide the technology and/or investment advisoryservices they have retained us to perform. These clients may also offer internally developed services to their financial advisors, obviating the need to hire us,and they may offer these services to third‑party financial advisors or financial institutions, thereby competing directly with us for that business.Many of our competitors in this business have significantly greater resources than we do. These resources may allow our competitors to respondmore quickly to changes in demand for investment solutions and services, to devote greater resources to developing and promoting their services and tomake more attractive offers to potential clients and strategic partners, which could hurt our financial performance.We may lose clients as a result of the sale or merger of a client, a change in a client’s senior management, competition from other financial advisorsand financial institutions and for other reasons. We also face increased competition due to the current trend of industry consolidation. If large financialinstitutions that are not our clients are able to attract assets from our clients, our ability to grow revenues and earnings may be adversely affected.Our Envestnet | Yodlee group competes with other financial technology companies, global payment networks, credit bureaus and data and analyticproviders. While we do not believe any single company in the data aggregation and data intelligence space offers a comprehensive platform with diversefeatures such as ours, representative examples of competitors include Intuit, Inc., Plaid Inc. and Fiserv, Inc.Our Envestnet | PMC group competes with other providers of investment solutions and products. These competitors may offer broader solutionsand/or products and their solutions and/or products may have better investment returns during one or more periods. If the investment returns on ourinvestment products are not perceived to be competitive, we could experience outflows of assets from these products and face difficulty attracting new assetsto these products.We compete with many companies that have greater name recognition, substantially greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, theability to devote greater resources to the promotion, sale and support of their solutions, more extensive customer bases and broader customer relationships,and longer operating histories than we have.We expect competition to increase as other companies continue to evolve their offerings and as new companies enter our market. New companiesentering our market may choose to offer internally-developed solutions at little or no additional cost to their end users by bundling them with their existingapplications and solutions. Increased competition is likely to result in pricing pressures, which could negatively impact our gross margins.Our failure to successfully compete in any of the above‑mentioned areas could result in reduced revenues or lack of market share which could have amaterial adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business. Competition could also affect the revenue mix of services we provide,resulting in decreased revenues in lines of business with higher profit margins.We derive a substantial portion of our revenues from the delivery of investment solutions and services to clients in the financial advisory industry and ourrevenue could suffer if that industry experiences a downturn.A substantial portion of our revenues are derived from clients in the financial advisory industry. A decline or lack of growth in demand for financialadvisory services would adversely affect our clients and, in turn, our results of operations, financial condition and business. For example, the availability offree or low‑cost investment information and resources, including research and information relating to publicly traded companies and mutual funds availableon the Internet or on company websites, could lead to lower demand by investors for the services provided by financial advisors. In addition, demand for ourinvestment solutions and services among financial advisors could decline for many reasons. Consolidation or limited growth in the financial advisoryindustry could reduce the number of our clients and potential clients. Events that adversely affect our clients’ businesses, rates of growth or the numbers ofcustomers they serve, including decreased demand for our clients’ products and services, adverse conditions in our clients’ markets or adverse economicconditions generally, could decrease demand for our investment solutions and services and thereby decrease our revenues. Any of the foregoing could have amaterial adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.A limited number of clients account for a material portion of our revenue. Renegotiation or termination of our contracts with any of these clients couldhave a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, revenues associated with our relationship with our single largest client, FMR LLC, anaffiliate of FMR Corp., or Fidelity, accounted for 17%, 17% and 15% respectively, of our total22Table of Contentsrevenues and our ten largest clients accounted for 31%, 37% and 36%, respectively, of our total revenues. Our license agreements with large financialinstitutions are generally multi-year contracts that may be terminated upon the expiration of the contract term or prior to such time for cause, which mayinclude breach of contract, bankruptcy, insolvency and other reasons. A substantial majority of our revenues associated with Fidelity is derived from ongoingasset-based platform service fees paid by firms, advisors or advisors’ clients obtained through the Fidelity relationship. A majority of our agreements withfinancial advisors generally provide for termination at any time. The license agreement with Fidelity, which accounted for less than 1% of our revenue in theyear ended December 31, 2018, is subject to renewal on an annual basis. If Fidelity or a significant number of our most important clients were to renegotiateor terminate their contracts with us, our results of operations, financial condition or business could be materially adversely affected. A substantial portion of our revenue is based on fees earned in the value of assets under management or administration. Changes in market and economicconditions could lower the value of assets on which we earn revenues and could decrease the demand for our investment solutions and services.Asset‑based fees make up a significant portion of our revenues. Asset‑based fees represented 59%, 60% and 61% of our total revenues for the yearsended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We expect that asset‑based fees will continue to represent a significant percentage of our totalrevenues in the future. Significant fluctuations in securities prices may materially affect the value of the assets managed by our clients and may also influencefinancial advisor and investor decisions regarding whether to invest in, or maintain an investment in, a particular investment or strategy. If such marketfluctuation led to less investment in the securities markets, our revenues and earnings derived from asset‑based fees could be materially adversely affected.Our asset-based fees are generally calculated quarterly using the value of assets at the end of each calendar quarter. Our methodology may result in lower feesif the financial markets are down when fees are calculated, even if the market had performed well earlier in the quarter. We provide our investment solutions and services to the financial services industry. The financial markets, and in turn the financial servicesindustry, are affected by many factors, such as U.S. and foreign economic conditions and general trends in business and finance that are beyond our control.In the event that the U.S. or international financial markets suffer a severe or prolonged downturn, investors may choose to withdraw assets from financialadvisors, which we refer to as “redemptions”, and transfer them to investments that are perceived to be more secure, such as bank deposits and Treasurysecurities, and on which we might not earn fees. For example, in late 2007 and through the first quarter of 2009, the financial markets experienced a broadand prolonged downturn, our redemption rates were higher than our historical average, and our results of operations, financial condition and business werematerially adversely affected. Any prolonged downturn in financial markets or increased levels of asset withdrawals could have a material adverse effect onour results of operations, financial condition or business. Historically, redemption rates have typically increased during periods where there has been asignificant downturn in financial markets. Any potential decline in assets on which we earn fees would not necessarily be proportional to, and in total, couldbe greater than the overall market decline.Investors’ decisions regarding their investment assets are affected by many factors and investors may redeem or withdraw their investment assets generallyat any time. Significant changes in investing patterns or large‑scale withdrawal of investment funds could have a material adverse effect on our results ofoperations, financial condition or business.The clients of our financial advisors are generally free to change financial advisors, forgo the advice and other services provided by financialadvisors or withdraw the funds they have invested with financial advisors. These clients of financial advisors may elect to change their investment strategies,by moving their assets away from equity securities to fixed income or other investment options, or by withdrawing all or a portion of their assets from theiraccounts to avoid all securities markets‑related risks. These actions by investors are outside of our control and could materially adversely affect the marketvalue of the investment assets that our clients manage, which could materially adversely affect the asset‑based fees we receive from our clients.Our investment advisory clients that pay us asset‑based fees may seek to negotiate a lower fee percentage, which could limit the growth of, or decrease, ourrevenues.A significant portion of our revenues are derived from asset‑based fees. Asset‑based fees represented 59%, 60% and 61% of our total revenues for theyears ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Our investment advisory clients may, for a number of reasons, seek to negotiate a lowerasset‑based fee percentage. For example, an increase in the use of index‑linked investment products by the clients of our financial advisor clients may resultin lower fees being paid to our clients, and our clients may in turn seek to negotiate lower asset‑based fee percentages for our services. In addition, ascompetition among our clients increases, they may be required to lower the fees they charge to their clients, which could cause them to seek to decrease ourfees accordingly. If our fee percentage declines, our revenue growth may be slower than it would23Table of Contentshave been had we not reduced our fees, despite increasing assets on which we derive fees. Any of these factors could result in a decline in our asset‑based fees,which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.Our business will suffer if we do not keep up with rapid technological change, evolving industry standards or changing requirements of clients.We expect technological developments to continue at a rapid pace in our industry. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to:•continue to develop our technology expertise;•recruit and retain skilled technology professionals;•enhance our current investment solutions and services;•develop new investment solutions and services that meet changing client needs;•implement changes to our investment solutions and services to meet changing regulatory requirements;•advertise and market our investment solutions and services;•protect our proprietary technology and intellectual property rights; and•influence and respond to emerging industry standards and other technological changes.We must accomplish these tasks in a timely and cost‑effective manner and our failure to do so could materially adversely affect our results ofoperations, financial condition or business.We must continue to introduce new investment solutions and services and enhancements to address our clients’ changing needs, market changes,regulations, and technological developments and failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition orbusiness.The market for our investment solutions and services is characterized by shifting client demands, evolving market practices, new and evolvingregulations, and for some of our investment solutions and services, rapid technological change. Changing client demands, new market rules and practices, ornew technologies can render existing investment solutions and services obsolete and unmarketable. As a result, our future success will continue to dependupon our ability to develop new investment solutions and services and investment solution and service enhancements that address the future needs of ourtarget markets and respond to technological and market changes. We incurred technology development costs of approximately $52,840, $40,800 and$38,100 in the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We expect that our technology development costs will continue at this level orthey may increase in the future. We may not be able to accurately estimate the impact of new investment solutions and services on our business or how theirbenefits will be perceived by our clients. Further, we may not be successful in developing, introducing, marketing and licensing our new investmentsolutions or services or investment solution or service enhancements on a timely and cost effective basis, or at all, and our new investment solutions andservices and enhancements may not adequately meet the requirements of the marketplace or achieve market acceptance. In addition, clients may delaypurchases in anticipation of new investment solutions or services or enhancements. Any of these factors could materially adversely affect our results ofoperations, financial condition or business.Our hosting, collection, use and storage of customer information and data require the implementation of effective security controls, and a data securitybreach could disrupt our business, result in the disclosure of confidential information, expose us to liability and protracted and costly litigation, adverselyaffect our reputation and revenue and cause losses.We, and our customers through which our solutions are made available to end users, collect, use, transmit and store confidential financialinformation such as bank account numbers, social security numbers, non-public personally identifiable information, portfolio holdings, credit card data andoutstanding debts and bills. The measures we take to provide security for collection, use, storage, processing and transmission of confidential end userinformation may not be effective to protect against data security breaches by third parties. We use commercially available security technologies, includinghardware and software data encryption techniques and multi-layer network security measures, to protect transactions and information. Although we encryptdata fields that typically include sensitive, confidential information, other unencrypted data fields may include similar information that could be accessiblein the event of a security breach. We use security and business controls to limit access and use of confidential end user information. Although we require ourcustomers and third-party suppliers to implement controls similar to ours, the technologies and practices of our customers and third-party suppliers may notmeet all of the requirements we include in our contracts and we may not have the ability to effectively monitor the implementation of security measures ofour customers and third-party suppliers. In a number of cases, our customers build and host their own web applications and access our solutions through ourAPIs. In these cases, additional risks reside in the customer’s system with respect to security and preventive controls. As a result, inadequacies of ourcustomers’ and third-party suppliers’ security technologies and24Table of Contentspractices may only be detected after a security breach has occurred. Errors in the collection, use, storage or transmission of confidential end user informationmay result in a breach of privacy or theft of assets.The risk of unauthorized circumvention of our security measures has been heightened by advances in computer capabilities and the increasingsophistication of hackers. Criminals are using increasingly sophisticated techniques to engage in illegal activities involving solutions such as ours orinvolving end user information, such as counterfeiting, fraudulent payment and identity theft. Because the techniques used by hackers change frequently andgenerally are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventive measures.In addition to hackers, it is possible that a customer could gain unauthorized access to our database through the use of our solutions. Improper access to oursystems or databases by hackers or customers intending to commit criminal activities could result in the theft, publication, deletion or modification ofconfidential end user information. An actual or perceived breach of our security may require notification under applicable data privacy regulations.A data security breach of the systems on which sensitive user data and account information are stored could lead to private claims or regulatoryactions, including fines, against us. Many of our agreements with clients do not limit our potential liability for breaches of confidentiality, and consequentialdamages. If any person, including any of our employees, contractors, or consultants, penetrates our network security, misappropriates or mishandles sensitivedata, inadvertently or otherwise, we could be involved in protracted and costly litigation. If unsuccessful in defending that litigation, we might be forced topay damages and/or change our business practices or pricing structure, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our revenue and profitability. Inaddition, our customer contracts typically require us to meet specified minimum system security and privacy standards. If a data security breach occurs andwe have not been in compliance with these standards, we could be liable for breach of contract claims brought by our customers.We could also be required to indemnify our customers for third-party claims, fines, penalties and/or other assessments imposed on our customers as aresult of any data security breach and our liability could exceed our insurance coverage or ability to pay. Envestnet’s Registered Investment Advisers andBroker-Dealer may face SEC, FINRA and state enforcement actions, including monetary fines, if it is determined that Envestnet had inadequate data securitymeasures in place to prevent such theft.Our security procedures and technologies are regularly audited by independent security auditors engaged by us, and many of our prospective andcurrent customers conduct their own audits or review the results of such independent security audits as part of their evaluation of our solutions. We are alsoperiodically audited by regulatory agencies to which our operations or our customers are subject. Adverse findings in these audits or examinations, even ifnot accompanied by any data security breach, could adversely affect our ability to maintain our existing customer relationships and establish new customerrelationships.Data security breaches, acts of fraud involving our solutions, or adverse findings in security audits or examinations, could result in reputationaldamage to us, which could reduce the use and acceptance of our solutions, cause our customers to cease doing business with us and/or have a significantadverse impact on our revenue and future growth prospects. Further, any of these events could lead to additional regulation and oversight by federal and stateagencies, which could impose new and costly compliance obligations and may lead to the loss of our ability to make our solutions available.Privacy regulations or concerns can affect the way in which we do business and require us to incur significant costs.As part of our business, we gather, refine and aggregate end user-permissioned, non-identified transaction level data which we then provide tocustomers as data analytics solutions and market research solutions. For privacy or security reasons, privacy groups, governmental agencies and individualsmay seek to restrict or prevent our use of this data. New laws in this area have been passed by several jurisdictions imposing restrictions on our use of thisdata, and other jurisdictions are considering imposing additional restrictions. Furthermore, our use of this data is subject to the consent of our customers.Although our arrangements with customers generally permit us to use non-identified transaction level data, some customers decline to permit the use of thisdata. The inability to use data from customers may limit the usefulness of the data that we gather and use. Any restrictions on our use of this data, whetherregulatory or contractual, could affect the way we do business or limit the usefulness of our solutions and services which could adversely affect our business.We are subject to numerous laws, industry standards and contractual obligations relating to the collection, use, and security of end user data. Wehave incurred, and will continue to incur, significant expenses to comply with these requirements. As our business continues to expand to new industrysegments that may be more highly regulated for privacy and data security, and to countries outside the United States that have more strict data protectionlaws, our compliance requirements and costs may increase.25Table of ContentsOur investment advisory services may subject us to liability for losses that result from potential, perceived or actual breaches of our fiduciary duties.Our investment advisory services involve fiduciary obligations that require us to act in the best interests of our clients, and we may be sued and faceliabilities for actual or claimed breaches of our fiduciary duties. Because we provide investment advisory services, both directly and indirectly, with respectto substantial assets we could face substantial liability if it is determined that we have breached our fiduciary duties. In certain circumstances, whichgenerally depend on the types of investment solutions and services we are providing, we may enter into client agreements jointly with advisors and retainthird‑party investment money managers on behalf of clients. As a result, we may be included as a defendant in lawsuits against financial advisors andthird‑party investment money managers that involve claims of breaches of the duties of such persons, and we may face liabilities for the improper actionsand/or omissions of such advisors and third‑party investment money managers. In addition, we may face claims based on the results of our investmentadvisory recommendations, even in the absence of a breach of our fiduciary duty. Such claims and liabilities could therefore have a material adverse effect onour results of operations, financial condition or business.We are subject to liability for losses that result from potential, perceived or actual conflicts of interest.Potential, perceived and actual conflicts of interest are inherent in our existing and future business activities and could give rise to clientdissatisfaction, litigation or regulatory enforcement actions. In particular, we pay varying fees to third‑party asset managers and custodians and our financialadvisor customers, or their clients, could accuse us of directing them toward those asset managers or custodians that charge us the lowest fees and thereforeprovide us with a greater financial advantage. In addition, we offer proprietary mutual funds and portfolios of mutual funds through our internal investmentmanagement and portfolio consulting group, and financial advisors or their clients could conclude that we favor our proprietary investment products becauseof their belief that we earn higher fees when our proprietary investment products are used. Adequately addressing conflicts of interest is complex anddifficult. If we fail, or appear to fail, to adequately address potential, perceived or actual conflicts of interest, the resulting negative public perception andreputational harm could materially adversely affect our client relations or ability to enter into contracts with new clients and, consequently, our results ofoperations, financial condition and business.We may become subject to liability based on the use of our investment solutions and services by our clients.Our investment solutions and services support the investment processes of our clients, which, in the aggregate, manage billions of dollars of assets.Our client agreements have provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential liability claims brought by our clients or third parties based on the use ofour investment solutions and services. However, these provisions have certain exceptions and could be invalidated by unfavorable judicial decisions or byfederal, state, foreign or local laws. Use of our products as part of the investment process creates the risk that clients, or the parties whose assets are managedby our clients, may pursue claims against us for very significant dollar amounts. Any such claim, even if the outcome were to be ultimately favorable to us,would involve a significant commitment of our management, personnel, financial and other resources and could have a negative impact on our reputation.Such claims and lawsuits could therefore have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.Furthermore, our clients may use our investment solutions and services together with software, data or products from other companies. As a result,when problems occur, it might be difficult to identify the source of the problem. Even when our investment solutions and services do not cause theseproblems, the existence of these errors might cause us to incur significant costs and divert the attention of our management and technical personnel, any ofwhich could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.If our reputation is harmed, our results of operations, financial condition or business could be materially adversely affected.Our reputation, which depends on earning and maintaining the trust and confidence of our clients and end users, is critical to our business. Ourreputation is vulnerable to many threats that can be difficult or impossible to control, and costly or impossible to remediate. Regulatory inquiries orinvestigations, data security breaches, lawsuits initiated by our clients or stockholders, employee misconduct, perceptions of conflicts of interest and rumors,among other developments, could substantially damage our reputation, even if they are baseless or satisfactorily addressed. In addition, any perception thatthe quality of our solutions and services may not be the same or better than that of other providers, can also damage our reputation. Any damage to ourreputation could harm our ability to attract and retain clients, which would materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition andbusiness. Attempts to repair our reputation, if damaged may be costly and time consuming, and such efforts may not ultimately be successful.26Table of ContentsIf our investment solutions and services fail to perform properly due to undetected errors or similar problems, our results of operations, financial conditionand business could be materially adversely affected.Investment solutions and services we develop or license may contain undetected errors or defects despite testing. Such errors can exist at any pointin the life cycle of our investment solutions or services, but are frequently found after introduction of new investment solutions and services or enhancementsto existing investment solutions or services. We continually introduce new investment solutions and services and new versions of our investment solutionsand services. Despite internal testing and testing by current and potential clients, our current and future investment solutions and services may containserious defects or malfunctions. If we detect any errors before release, we might be required to delay the release of the investment solution or service for anextended period of time while we address the problem. We might not discover errors that affect our new or current investment solutions, services orenhancements until after they are deployed, and we may need to provide enhancements to correct such errors. Errors may occur that could have a materialadverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business and could result in harm to our reputation, lost sales, delays in commercial release,third‑party claims, regulatory actions, contractual disputes, contract terminations or renegotiations, or unexpected expenses and diversion of managementand other resources to remedy errors. In addition, negative public perception and reputational damage caused by such claims would adversely affect ourclient relationships and our ability to enter into new contracts. Any of these problems could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations,financial condition and business.We could face liability or incur costs to remediate operational errors or to address possible customer dissatisfaction.Operational risk generally refers to the risk of loss resulting from our operations, including, but not limited to, improper or unauthorized executionand processing of transactions, deficiencies in our operating systems, business disruptions and inadequacies or breaches in our internal control processes. Thesuccess of our business depends on our ability to mitigate those operational risks and deliver time-sensitive services. We operate in diverse markets and arereliant on the ability of our employees and systems to process large volumes of transactions often within short time frames. Our operations and those of thirdparties on whom we rely for information and transaction processing services are vulnerable to interruption by technical breakdowns, computer hardware andsoftware malfunctions, software viruses, infrastructure failures, fire, earthquake, power loss, telecommunications failure, terrorist attacks, wars, Internet failuresand other events beyond our control. In the event of any such interruptions or improper operation of systems, human error or improper action by employees,we could suffer financial loss, regulatory sanctions or damage to our reputation.In addition, our contracts with our customers often include stringent requirements for us to maintain certain levels of performance and serviceavailability. Failure by us to meet these contractual requirements could result in a claim for substantial damages against us, regardless of whether we areresponsible for that failure. Our customers may also delay or withhold payment to us, elect to terminate or not to renew their contracts with us, or refuse tointegrate our solutions into their online offerings, or we could lose future sales to new customers as a result of damage to our reputation due to such servicedowntime or interruptions. If we suffer a significant database or network facility outage, our business could experience disruption until we fully implementour back-up systems. The occurrence of any such disruptions in our solutions could materially and adversely affect our business.Furthermore, there may be circumstances when our customers are dissatisfied with our investment solutions and services, even in the absence of anoperational error. In such circumstances, we may elect to make payments or otherwise incur increased costs or lower revenues in order to maintain a strongcustomer relationship. In any of the forgoing circumstances, our results of operations, financial condition or business could be materially adversely affected.Our business relies heavily on computer equipment, electronic delivery systems and the Internet. Any failures or disruptions in such technologies couldresult in reduced revenues, increased costs and the loss of customers.Our business relies heavily on our computer equipment (including our servers), electronic delivery systems and the Internet, but these technologiesare vulnerable to disruptions, failures or slowdowns caused by fire, earthquake, power loss, telecommunications failure, terrorist attacks, wars, Internetfailures, computer viruses and other events beyond our control. We derive our subscription revenue from licenses to a single software platform, and relatedsupport and professional services. As such, any factor adversely affecting subscriptions to that single software platform, including those described elsewhereunder “Risk Factors” or in other portions of this Form 10-K, would harm our business and operating results. Furthermore, we rely on agreements with oursuppliers, such as our current data hosting and service provider, to provide us with access to certain computer equipment, electric delivery systems and theInternet. We are unable to predict whether a future contractual dispute may arise with one of our suppliers that could cause a disruption in service, or whetherour agreements with our suppliers can be obtained or renewed on acceptable terms, or at all. An unanticipated disruption, failure or slowdown affecting ourkey technologies or facilities may have significant ramifications, such as data‑loss, data corruption, damaged software codes or27Table of Contentsinaccurate processing of transactions. We maintain off‑ site back‑up facilities for our electronic information and computer equipment, but these facilitiescould be subject to the same interruptions that may affect our primary facilities. Any significant disruptions, failures, slowdowns, data‑loss or data corruptioncould have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business and result in the loss of customers.If we fail to process transactions effectively or fail to adequately protect against disputed or potential fraudulent activities, our revenue and earnings maybe harmed.Envestnet | Yodlee processes a significant volume and dollar value of transactions on a daily basis using its money movement solutions. Effectiveprocessing systems and controls are essential to ensure that transactions are handled appropriately. Despite our efforts, it is possible that we may make errorsor that funds may be misappropriated due to fraud. If we are unable to effectively manage our systems and processes we may be unable to process moneymovement transactions in an accurate, reliable and timely manner, which may harm our business. In addition, if we do not detect suspected fraudulent or non-sufficient fund transactions within agreed-upon timelines, we may be required to reimburse our customers for the transactions and such reimbursements mayexceed the amount of the reserves we have established to make such payments.The online payments industry has been experiencing an increasing amount of fraudulent activities by third parties. Although we do not believe thatany of this activity is uniquely targeted at our business, this type of fraudulent activity may adversely impact us. In addition to any direct damages andpotential fines that may result from such fraud, which may be substantial, a loss of confidence in our controls may seriously harm our business and damageour reputation. We may implement risk control mechanisms that could make it more difficult for legitimate end users to use our solutions, which could resultin lost revenue and negatively impact our operating results.If we are unable to maintain our payment network with third-party service providers, or if our disbursement partners encounter business difficulties, ourbusiness could be harmed.Envestnet | Yodlee’s payment network consists of a single Originating Deposit Financial Institution (“ODFI”), and a small number of bill paymentprocessors. Our ODFI clears and processes the funds from the customer. In the instance of funds transfers, the ODFI also processes funds to the end user’sdestination institution. For bill payment, funds are sent to the bill pay processors for disbursement to biller sites.While we have entered into an agreement with our ODFI and each of our bill payment processors, these partners could choose to terminate or notrenew their agreements with us. If we are unable to maintain our agreements with our current partners, or our current partners are unable to handle increasedtransaction volumes, our ability to disburse transactions and our revenue and business may be harmed. If we are unable to sign new payment processorsand/or ODFIs under terms consistent with, or better than, those currently in place, our revenue and business may be harmed.Payment processors and ODFI partners also engage in a variety of activities in addition to providing our services and may encounter businessdifficulties unrelated to our services. Such activities or difficulties could cause the affected partner to reduce the services provided, cease to do business withus, or cease doing business altogether. This could lead to our inability to move funds on a timely basis as required to settle transactions. In addition, becausewe offer next day automated clearing house transactions in certain cases, if a disbursement partner experiences insufficient liquidity or ceases to do business,we may not be able to recover funds that are held with that disbursement partner which could harm our financial condition and operating results.We may also be forced to cease doing business with payment processors and/or ODFIs if rules governing electronic funds transfers change or arereinterpreted to make it difficult or impossible for us to operate our money movement solutions.If sources from which we obtain information limit our access to such information or charge us fees for accessing such information, our business could bematerially and adversely harmed.Our Envestnet | Yodlee data aggregation solutions require certain data that we obtain from thousands of sources, including banks, other financialinstitutions, retail businesses and other organizations, some of which are not our current customers. As of December 31, 2018, we receive over 60% of thisdata through structured data feeds that are provided under the terms of our contracts with most of our financial institution, or FI, customers. Although all ofthe information we currently gather is end user-permissioned, non-identified data and, currently, we generally have free, unrestricted access to, or ability touse, such information, one or more of our current customers could decide to limit or block our access to the data feeds we currently have in place with thesecustomers due to factors outside of our control such as more burdensome regulation of our or our customers’ industry, increased compliance requirements orchanges in business strategy. If the sources from which we28Table of Contentsobtain information that is important to our solutions limit or restrict our ability to access or use such information, we may be required to attempt to obtain theinformation, if at all, through end user-permissioned data scraping or other means that could be more costly and time-consuming, and less effective orefficient. In the past, a limited number of third parties, primarily airline and international sites, have either blocked our access to their websites or requestedthat we cease employing data scraping of their websites to gather information, and we could receive similar, additional requests in the future. Any suchlimitation or restriction may also preclude us from providing our solutions on a timely basis, if at all. In addition, if in the future one or more third partieschallenge our right to access information from these sources, we may be required to negotiate with these sources for access to their information or todiscontinue certain services currently provided by our solutions. The legal environment surrounding data scraping and similar means of obtaining access toinformation on third-party websites is not completely clear and is evolving, and one or more third parties could assert claims against us seeking damages or toprevent us from accessing information in that manner. In the event sources from which we obtain this information begin to charge us fees for accessing suchinformation, we may be forced to increase the fees that we charge our customers, which could make our solutions less attractive, or our gross margins andother financial results could suffer.Failure by our customers to obtain proper permissions and waivers might result in claims against us or may limit or prevent our use of data, which couldharm our business.For some of our solutions we require our customers to provide necessary notices and to obtain necessary permissions and waivers for use anddisclosure of information through our solutions. Our contracts with our customers for these services include assurances from them that they have done so andwill do so, but we do not audit our customers to ensure that they have acted, and continue to act, consistent with such assurances. If, despite theserequirements and contractual obligations, our customers do not obtain necessary permissions and waivers, then our use and disclosure of information that wereceive from them or on their behalf might be limited or prohibited by federal, state or foreign privacy laws or other laws. Such a failure to obtain properpermissions and waivers could impair our functions, processes and databases that reflect, contain, or are based upon such data and might prevent use of suchdata. In addition, such a failure could interfere with, or prevent creation or use of, rules, analyses, or other data-driven activities that benefit us and ourbusiness. Moreover, we might be subject to claims or liability for use or disclosure of information by reason of lack of valid notices, agreements, permissionsor waivers. These claims or liabilities could subject us to unexpected costs and adversely affect our operating results.We could face liability for certain information we provide, including information based on data we obtain from other parties.We may be subject to claims for securities law violations, negligence, breach of fiduciary duties or other claims relating to the information weprovide. For example, individuals may take legal action against us if they rely on information we have provided and it contains an error. In addition, wecould be subject to claims based upon the content that is accessible from our website through links to other websites. Moreover, we could face liability basedon inaccurate information provided to us by others. Defending any such claims could be expensive and time‑consuming, and any such claim could materiallyadversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.Our insurance coverage and contractual liability limitations may fail to provide adequate protections.We maintain general liability insurance coverage, including coverage for errors or omissions; however, this coverage may not continue to beavailable on reasonable terms or may be insufficient to cover one or more large claims. An insurer might disclaim coverage as to any future claim. Asuccessful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceeds our available insurance coverage or changes in our insurance policies, includingpremium increases or the imposition of a large deductible or co-insurance requirement, could harm our operating results and financialcondition. Additionally, although we attempt to limit our contractual liability in delivering our solutions, these limitations on liability may be unenforceablein some cases, or may be insufficient to protect us from liability for damages.We depend on our senior management team and other key personnel and the loss of their services could have a material adverse effect on our results ofoperations, financial condition or business.We depend on the efforts, relationships and reputations of our senior management team and other key personnel, in order to successfully manage ourbusiness. We believe that success in our business will continue to be based upon the strength of our intellectual capital. The loss of the services of anymember of our senior management team or of other key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition orbusiness.29Table of ContentsOur future success depends on our ability to recruit and retain qualified employees.Our ability to provide our services and maintain and develop relationships with clients depends largely on our ability to attract, train, motivate andretain highly skilled professionals, particularly professionals with backgrounds in sales, marketing, technology and financial and investment services.Consequently, we must hire and retain employees with the technical expertise and industry knowledge necessary to continue to develop our services andeffectively manage our growing sales and marketing organization to assist the growth of our operations.We believe there is significant competition for professionals with the skills necessary to perform the services we offer. We experience competitionfor these professionals from competitors, other technology companies and financial services organizations, many of which have greater resources than we doand therefore may be able to offer higher compensation packages. Competition for these employees is intense, and we may not have sufficient humanresources programs, practices and benefits to be able to retain our existing employees, or be able to recruit and retain other highly skilled personnel. If wecannot hire and retain qualified personnel, our ability to sustain and continue to expand our business would be impaired and our revenue, operating resultsand financial condition could be harmed.Our operations are subject to extensive government regulation, and compliance failures or regulatory action against us could adversely affect our resultsof operations, financial condition or business.The financial services industry is among the most extensively regulated industries in the United States. We operate investment advisory,broker‑dealer, and mutual fund lines of business, each of which is subject to a specific and extensive regulatory scheme. In addition, we are subject tonumerous laws and regulations of general application. It is very difficult to predict the future impact of the legislative and regulatory requirements affectingour business and our clients’ businesses.Certain of our subsidiaries are registered as “investment advisers” with the SEC under the Advisers Act and are regulated thereunder. In addition,many of our investment advisory services are conducted pursuant to the non‑exclusive safe harbor from the definition of an “investment company” providedunder Rule 3a‑4 under the Investment Company Act. If Rule 3a‑4 were to cease to be available, or if the SEC were to modify the rule or its interpretation ofhow the rule is applied, our business could be adversely affected. Certain of our registered investment adviser subsidiaries provide advice to mutual fundclients. Mutual funds are registered as “investment companies” under the Investment Company Act. Our advisory subsidiaries provide advice on assetssubject to the ERISA. The Advisers Act, Investment Company Act and ERISA, together with related regulations and interpretations of the SEC and theDepartment of Labor, impose numerous obligations and restrictions on investment advisers and mutual funds, including requirements relating to thesafekeeping of client funds and securities, limitations on advertising, disclosure and reporting obligations, prohibitions on fraudulent activities, restrictionson transactions between an adviser and its clients, and between a mutual fund and its advisers and affiliates, and other detailed operating requirements, aswell as general fiduciary obligations.In addition, PBS, our broker‑dealer subsidiary, is registered as a broker‑dealer with the SEC and with all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and isa member of FINRA, a securities industry self‑regulatory organization that supervises and regulates the conduct and activities of its members. Broker‑dealersare subject to regulations that cover all aspects of their business, including sales practices, market making and trading among broker‑dealers, use andsafekeeping of customer funds and securities, capital structure, recordkeeping and the conduct of directors, officers, employees, representatives andassociated persons. FINRA conducts periodic examinations of the operations of its members, including PBS. As a broker‑dealer, PBS is also subject to certainminimum net capital requirements under SEC and FINRA rules. Compliance with the net capital rules may limit our ability to withdraw capital from PBS.Envestnet | Yodlee is examined on a periodic basis by various regulatory agencies. For example, it is a supervised third-party technology serviceprovider subject to multi-agency supervisory examinations in a wide variety of areas based on published guidance by the Federal Financial InstitutionsExamination Council. These examinations include examinations of our management, acquisition and development activities, support and delivery, IT, anddisaster preparedness and business recovery planning. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is the agency in charge of these examinations. Ifdeficiencies are identified, customers may choose to terminate or reduce their relationships with us.Either as a result of direct regulation or obligations under customer agreements, many of our subsidiaries are required to comply with certainprovisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, related to the privacy of consumer information and may be subject to other privacy and data security lawsbecause of the solutions we provide. In addition, numerous regulations have been proposed and are still being written to implement the Dodd-Frank Act forenhanced due diligence of the internal systems and processes of companies like ours by their regulated customers. If we are required to make changes toour internal processes30Table of Contentsand solutions as result of this heightened scrutiny, we could be required to invest substantial additional time and funds and divert time and resources fromother corporate purposes to remedy any identified deficiency.All of the foregoing laws and regulations are complex, evolving, unclear and inconsistent across various jurisdictions and we are required to expendsignificant resources in order to maintain our monitoring of, and compliance with, such laws and regulations. We continually develop improvements to ourexisting products and services as well as new products and services. Many of these improvements or new products and services may implicate regulations towhich we may not already be subject or with which we may not have experience. Any failure on our part to comply with these and other applicable laws andregulations could result in decreasing the demand for these products and services, increasing our potential liability or increase or costs, regulatory fines,suspensions of personnel or other sanctions, including revocation of our subsidiaries as an investment adviser or broker‑dealer, as the case may be, whichcould, among other things, require changes to our business practices and scope of operations or harm our reputation. Any of the foregoing could have amaterial adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.Changes to the laws or regulations applicable to us or to our clients could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or business.We may be adversely affected as a result of new or revised legislation or regulations imposed by the SEC or other U.S. or foreign governmentalregulatory authorities or self‑regulatory organizations that supervise the financial markets around the world. In addition, we may be adversely affected bychanges in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and rules by these governmental authorities and self‑regulatory organizations. It is impossible todetermine the extent of the impact of any new laws, regulations or initiatives that may be proposed, or whether any current proposals will become law, and itis difficult to predict how any changes or potential changes could affect our business. Changes to laws or regulations could increase our potential liability inconnection with the investment solutions and other services that we provide. The introduction of any new laws or regulations could make our ability tocomply with applicable laws and regulations more difficult and expensive. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our results ofoperations, financial condition or business.A deemed “change of control” of our company could require us to obtain the consent of our clients and a failure to do so properly could adversely affectour results of operations, financial condition or business.Under the Advisers Act, the investment advisory agreements entered into by our investment adviser subsidiaries may not be assigned without theclient’s consent. Under the Investment Company Act, advisory agreements with registered funds terminate automatically upon assignment and, anyassignment of an advisory agreement must be approved by the board of directors and the shareholders of the registered fund. Under the Advisers Act and theInvestment Company Act, such an assignment may be deemed to occur upon a change of control of the Company. A change of control includes eithergaining or losing a “controlling person.” Whether someone is a controlling person for these purposes depends significantly on the specific facts andcircumstances. There can be no assurance that if we undergo a change of control, we would be successful in obtaining all necessary consents or that themethod by which we obtain such consents could not be challenged at a later time. If we are unable to obtain all necessary consents or if such a challenge wereto be successful it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.We rely on exemptions from certain laws and if for any reason these exemptions were to become unavailable to us, we could become subject to regulatoryaction or third‑party claims and our business could be materially and adversely affected.We regularly rely on exemptions from various requirements of the Exchange Act, the Advisers Act, the Investment Company Act and ERISA inconducting our activities. These exemptions are sometimes highly complex and may in certain circumstances depend on compliance by third parties whomwe do not control. If for any reason these exemptions were to become unavailable to us, we could become subject to regulatory action or third‑party claimsand our business could be materially and adversely affected.If government regulation of the Internet or other areas of our business changes, or if consumer attitudes toward use of the Internet change, we may need tochange the manner in which we conduct our business or incur greater operating expenses.The adoption, modification or interpretation of laws or regulations relating to the Internet or other areas of our business could adversely affect themanner in which we conduct our business. Such laws and regulations may cover sales practices, taxes, user privacy, data protection, pricing, content,copyrights, distribution, electronic contracts, consumer protection, broadband residential Internet access and the characteristics and quality of services.Moreover, it is not clear how existing laws governing these matters apply to the Internet. If we are required to comply with new regulations or legislation or31Table of Contentsnew interpretations of existing regulations or legislation, we may be required to incur additional expenses or alter our business model, either of which couldhave a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.We are substantially dependent on our intellectual property rights, and a failure to protect these rights could adversely affect our results of operations,financial condition or business.We have made substantial investments in software and other intellectual property on which our business is highly dependent. As of December 31,2018, notwithstanding expiration of some of our oldest patents, we had over 50 issued patents in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions as well as additionalpending patent applications in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. Many of our key technologies, investment solutions or services are not covered by anycopyright registration, issued patent or patent application. We are the owner of certain patent rights, registered trademarks in the United States, including“ENVESTNET,” and we claim common law rights in other trademarks that are not registered. We rely on a combination of patent, trade secret, trademark andcopyright laws, confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements and other contractual and technical security measures to protect our proprietary technology, allof which provide only limited protection. Despite our efforts, unauthorized copying or other misappropriation of our proprietary technologies could enablethird parties to benefit from our intellectual property rights without paying us for doing so, which could harm our business. Policing unauthorized use ofproprietary technology is difficult and expensive and our monitoring and litigation may be necessary to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights.If litigation is necessary to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights, any such litigation could be very costly and could divert managementattention and resources. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights or if third parties independently develop or gain access to our or similartechnologies, investment solutions or services, our results of operations, financial condition and business could be materially adversely affected.We cannot guarantee that:•our intellectual property rights will provide competitive advantages to us;•our ability to assert our intellectual property rights against potential competitors or to settle current or future disputes will not be limited by ouragreements with third parties;•our intellectual property rights will be enforced in jurisdictions where competition may be intense or where legal protection may be weak;•any of the trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets or other intellectual property rights that we presently employ in our business will not lapse or beinvalidated, circumvented, challenged or abandoned;•our trademark applications will lead to registered trademarks;•competitors will not design around our intellectual property rights or develop similar technologies, investment solutions or products; or that wewill not lose the ability to assert our intellectual property rights against others; or•Our ability to identify and police any misappropriation and protect our proprietary technology will be sufficient.We are also a party to a number of third‑party intellectual property license agreements. Some of these license agreements require us to make one‑timepayments or ongoing subscription payments. We cannot guarantee that the third‑party intellectual property we license will not be licensed to our competitorsor others in our industry. In the future, we may need to obtain additional licenses or renew existing license agreements. We are unable to predict whetherthese license agreements can be obtained or renewed on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, we have granted our customers certain rights to use ourintellectual property in the ordinary course of our business. Some of our customer agreements restrict our ability to license or develop certain customizedtechnology or services within certain markets or to certain competitors of our customers. For example, our agreement with Fidelity restricts our ability todevelop certain integration features that we have not also offered to develop for Fidelity. Some of our customer agreements grant our customers ownershiprights with respect to the portion of the intellectual property we have developed or customized for our customers. In addition, some of our customeragreements require us to deposit the source code to the customized technology and investment solutions with a source code escrow agent, which source codemay be released in the event we enter into bankruptcy or are unable to provide support and maintenance of the technology or investment solutions we havelicensed to our customers. These provisions in our agreements may limit our ability to grow our business in the future.Third parties may assert intellectual property infringement claims agains us which, if successful, could require us to pay significant damages or makechanges to the investment solutions or services that we offer.Third parties may assert against us intellectual property infringement claims with respect to our internally developed or acquired technologies,investment solutions or services. In addition, we license content, software and other intellectual property rights from third parties and may be subject toclaims of infringement if such parties do not possess the necessary intellectual property rights to the products they license to us. The risk of infringementclaims against us will increase if more of our competitors are able to obtain patents for investment solutions or services or business processes. In addition, weface32Table of Contentsadditional risk of infringement or misappropriation claims if we hire an employee who possesses third party proprietary information who decides to use suchinformation in connection with our investment solutions, services or business processes without such third‑party’s authorization. We have in the past beenand may in the future be subject to legal proceedings and claims that we have infringed or misappropriated the intellectual property rights of a third party.These claims sometimes involve patent holding companies who have no relevant product revenues and against whom our own proprietary technology maytherefore provide little or no deterrence. In addition, third parties may in the future assert intellectual property infringement claims against our customers,which, in certain circumstances, we have agreed to indemnify. Any intellectual property related infringement or misappropriation claims, whether or notmeritorious, could result in costly litigation and could divert management resources and attention. Moreover, should we be found liable for infringement ormisappropriation, we may be required to enter into licensing agreements, if available on acceptable terms or at all, pay substantial damages or make changesto the investment solutions and services that we offer. Any of the foregoing could prevent us from competing effectively, result in substantial costs to us,divert management’s attention and our resources away from our operations and otherwise harm our reputation.The use of “open source code” in investment solutions may expose us to additional risks and harm our intellectual property rights.To a limited extent, we rely on open source code to develop our platform, investment and other solutions and support for our internal systems andinfrastructure. While we monitor our use of open source code to attempt to avoid subjecting our solutions to conditions we do not intend, such use couldinadvertently occur. Additionally, if a third‑party software provider has incorporated certain types of open source code into software we license from suchthird party for our solutions, we could, under certain circumstances, be required to disclose the source code for our solutions. This could harm our intellectualproperty position and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and business.Confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants and others may not adequately prevent disclosure of trade secrets and other proprietaryinformation.We have devoted substantial resources to the development of our proprietary technologies, investment solutions and services. In order to protect ourproprietary rights, we enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and independent contractors. These agreements may noteffectively prevent unauthorized disclosure of confidential information or unauthorized parties from copying aspects of our technologies, investmentsolutions or products or obtaining and using information that we regard as proprietary. Moreover, these agreements may not provide an adequate remedy inthe event of such unauthorized disclosures of confidential information and we cannot assure you that our rights under such agreements will be enforceable. Inaddition, others may independently discover trade secrets and proprietary information, and in such cases we could not assert any trade secret rights againstsuch parties. Costly and time‑consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain ormaintain trade secret protection could reduce any competitive advantage we have developed and cause us to lose customers or otherwise harm our business.As a global organization, our business is susceptible to risks associated with our international operations and sales.We currently maintain international operations in India, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, lease space in other jurisdictions outside of theUnited States for the purpose of gathering data, and have customers located around the globe. Managing a global organization and conducting sales outsideof the United States is difficult and time-consuming and introduces risks that we may not face with our operations and sales in the United States. These risksinclude:•the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign regulations, laws and legal standards, including privacy, data security, tax andemployment, some of which may be materially different or more stringent than those of the United States;•regional data privacy laws that apply to the transmission of data across international borders;•lack of familiarity with, and unexpected changes in, foreign regulatory requirements;•customers’ unfamiliarity with and concerns regarding laws and regulations of the United States that may impact our business operations in theirjurisdictions;•negative, local perception of industries and customers that we may pursue;•laws and business practices favoring local competitors;•localization of our solutions, including unanticipated costs related to translation into foreign languages and adaptation for local practices andregulatory requirements;•different pricing environments and longer sales cycles;•longer accounts receivable payment cycles and difficulties in collecting accounts receivable;•difficulties in managing and staffing international operations;33Table of Contents•reduced or varied protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;•compliance with laws and regulations for foreign operations, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act, import andexport control laws, tariffs, trade barriers, economic sanctions and other regulatory or contractual limitations on our ability to sell our solutionsin certain foreign markets, and the risks and costs of compliance;•fluctuations in currency exchange rates;•potentially adverse tax consequences, including the complexities of foreign value added tax systems, difficulty in interpreting international taxlaws and restrictions on the repatriation of earnings;•increased financial accounting and reporting burdens and complexities; and•political, social and economic instability abroad, terrorist attacks and security concerns in general.Operating in international markets also requires significant management attention and financial resources. A component of our growth strategyinvolves the further expansion of our operations and the development of new customer relationships internationally. As we seek to expand internationally,we will need to develop relationships with additional partners and add internal capabilities to effectively manage the operational, financial, legal andregulatory requirements and risks associated with our international operations. The investment we make and additional resources we use to expand ouroperations, target new international customers, expand our presence globally within our existing customers and manage operational and sales growth in othercountries may not produce desired levels of revenue or profitability, which could adversely affect our business and operating results.If we are unable to effectively manage certain risks and challenges related to our India operations, our business could be harmed.Our India operations are a key factor to our success. We believe that our significant presence in India provides certain important advantages for ourbusiness, such as direct access to a large pool of skilled professionals and assistance in growing our business internationally. However, it also creates certainrisks that we must effectively manage. As of December 31, 2018, approximately 2,500 of our total employees were based in India. Wage costs in India forskilled professionals are currently lower than in the United States for comparably skilled professionals. However, wages in India are increasing at a faster ratethan in the United States, which could result in us incurring increased costs for technical professionals and reduced margins. There is intense competition inIndia for skilled technical professionals, and we expect such competition to increase. As a result, we may be unable to cost-effectively retain our currentemployee base in India or hire additional new talent. In addition, India has experienced significant inflation, low growth in gross domestic product andshortages of foreign exchange. India also has experienced civil unrest and terrorism and, in the past, has been involved in conflicts with neighboringcountries. The occurrence of any of these circumstances could result in disruptions to our India operations, which, if continued for an extended period oftime, could have a material adverse effect on our business. If we are unable to effectively manage any of the foregoing risks related to our India operations,our development efforts could be impaired, our growth could be slowed, and our operating results could be negatively impacted.We face exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.We have costs denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Indian Rupee, and our revenue is primarily denominated in the U.S. dollar. Thisexposes us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates, and in particular a weakening of the U.S.dollar, would negatively affect our expenses and other operating results as expressed in U.S. dollars.We are a multinational organization faced with increasingly complex tax issues in several jurisdictions, and we could be obligated to pay additional taxesin various jurisdictions.As a multinational organization, we may be subject to taxation in several jurisdictions around the world with increasingly complex tax laws, theapplication of which can be uncertain. The amount of taxes we pay in these jurisdictions could increase substantially as a result of changes in the applicabletax principles, including increased tax rates, new tax laws or revised interpretations of existing tax laws and precedents, which could have a material adverseeffect on our liquidity and operating results. In addition, the authorities in these jurisdictions could review our tax returns and impose additional tax, interestand penalties, and the authorities could claim that various withholding requirements apply to us or our subsidiaries or assert that benefits of tax treaties arenot available to us or our subsidiaries, any of which could have a material impact on us and the results of our operations. For example, the taxing authoritiesof India and other jurisdictions in which we operate may challenge our methodologies for allocating income and expense under our intercompanyarrangements, including our transfer pricing, or determine that the manner in which we operate our business is not consistent with the manner in which wereport our income to the jurisdictions. If such a disagreement were to occur, and our positions were not sustained, we could be34Table of Contentsrequired to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties, resulting in higher effective tax rates, reduced cash flows and higher expenses.Due to uncertainty in the application and interpretation of applicable state sales and use tax laws, we may be subject to additional tax liability. We and our customers are subject to a variety of sales, use and other tax laws in the various states and cities in which we and they do business. Theselaws and their interpretations change from time to time and often do not address with clarity their applicability to the types of products and services we andour subsidiaries provide. Vendors, like us, are typically held responsible by taxing authorities for the collection and payment of any applicable sales and usetaxes, even when owed by the end user. If one or more taxing authorities determines that taxes should have, but have not, been paid with respect to ourproducts or services, we might be liable for past taxes in addition to taxes going forward. Liability for past taxes might also include interest and penaltycharges. We are often entitled to seek reimbursement from our customers for any sales and use taxes we pay either under the terms of our customer contracts orunder applicable law or legal principles. Nevertheless, our customers might be reluctant to pay back taxes and might refuse responsibility for interest orpenalties associated with those taxes. If we are required to collect and pay back taxes and any associated interest and penalties, and if our clients do notreimburse us for all or a portion of these amounts, we will incur unplanned expenses that may be substantial. Moreover, imposition of such taxes on us goingforward will effectively increase the cost of our products and services to our customers and might adversely affect our ability to retain existing customers or togain new customers in the areas in which such taxes are imposed.For the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company estimated that a sales and use tax liability of $8,643 and $8,522, respectively, wasprobable related to current and prior years revenues in a number of taxing jurisdictions. In addition, for the same periods, the Company estimated a sales taxreceivable of $5,246 and $2,704, respectively, related to estimated recoverability of a portion of the liability. During 2018, 2017 and 2016 the Companyrecorded a net sales and use tax benefit of $1,176 including interest of $130, and a net sales and use tax expense of $345 and $6,229 including interest of$244 and $914, respectively. Additional future information obtained from the applicable jurisdictions or audits by one or more taxing authorities may affectour estimate of our sales and use tax liability. There can be no assurance that we will not be subject to sales and use taxes or related penalties for past sales injurisdictions where we currently believe no such taxes are required. Changes in accounting principles or standards, or in the way they are applied, could result in unfavorable accounting charges or effects and unexpectedfinancial reporting fluctuations, and could adversely affect our reported operating results even if there are no underlying changes in the economics of thebusiness.We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which are subject tointerpretation by the SEC and other regulatory bodies. A change in existing principles, standards or guidance can have a significant effect on our reportedresults, may retroactively affect previously reported results, could cause unexpected financial reporting fluctuations, and may require us to make costlychanges to our internal controls, operational and financial reporting processes.Changes in the estimates of fair value of reporting units or of long-lived assets, particularly goodwill and intangible assets, may result in futureimpairment charges, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows or business.Over time, the fair values of long-lived assets change. At December 31, 2018, we had $519,102 of goodwill and $305,241 of intangible assets, net,representing 63% of our total assets. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment each year using a qualitative or quantitative process that is performed at least annually or whenever events orcircumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. The Company performs the annual impairment analysis on October 31 in order to providemanagement time to complete the analysis prior to year-end. Prior to performing the quantitative evaluation, an assessment of qualitative factors may beperformed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value. If it is determined that it isunlikely that the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the Company is not required to complete the quantitative goodwill impairment evaluation. If it isdetermined that the carrying value may exceed fair value when considering qualitative factors, a quantitative goodwill impairment evaluation is performed.When performing the quantitative evaluation, if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss equal to the difference willbe recorded. The identification of reporting units and consideration of aggregation criteria requires management’s judgment. Based on the relevant GAAPauthoritative guidance, we aggregate components of a single operating segment into a reporting unit, if appropriate. Future goodwill impairment charges mayoccur if estimates of fair values decrease, which would reduce future earnings. 35Table of ContentsWe test our indefinite lived intangible assets on an annual basis and more often if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likelythan not reduce the fair value of the indefinite lived intangible asset below its carrying amount. We also test property, plant, and equipment and otherintangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Future asset impairmentcharges may occur if asset utilization declines, if customer demand decreases, or for a number of other reasons, which would reduce future earnings. Any suchimpairment charges could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Impairment charges wouldalso reduce our consolidated stockholders’ equity and increase our debt-to-total-capitalization ratio, which could negatively impact our access to the debtand equity markets.During the fourth quarter of 2018, we completed our annual goodwill impairment analysis. The quantitative analysis performed as of October 31,2018 indicated that it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded the carrying value, and accordingly, no impairmentexisted. There can be no assurance that our estimates and assumptions of the fair value of our reporting units, the current economic environment, or the otherinputs used to estimate the fair value of our reporting units will prove to be accurate, and any material error in our estimates and assumptions, could result inus needing to take a material impairment charge, which would have the effects discussed above.As part of our ongoing monitoring efforts, we will continue to consider capital markets and other economic factors and its potential impact on ourbusinesses, as well as other factors, in assessing goodwill and other long-lived assets for possible indications of impairment.The conditional conversion feature of our Convertible Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.In the event the conditional conversion feature of either of our $172,500 of outstanding 2019 Notes or $345,000 of outstanding 2023 Notes,collectively (“Convertible Notes”), is triggered, holders of the Convertible Notes will be entitled to convert their Convertible Notes at any time duringspecified periods at their option. We may elect to satisfy our conversion obligation in cash, in shares of our common stock or in a combination of cash andshares of our common stock. If one or more holders elect to convert their Convertible Notes, unless we satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solelyshares of our common stock (other than cash in lieu of any fractional share), we would be required to settle all or a portion of our conversion obligationthrough the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. Furthermore, even if holders do not elect to convert their Convertible Notes, wecould be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the Convertible Notes as a current rather thanlong‑term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital.We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle conversions of the Convertible Notes or purchase the Convertible Notes as required upona fundamental change, and our existing debt contains, and our future debt may contain, limitations on our ability to pay cash upon conversion or purchaseof the Convertible Notes.Following a fundamental change, holders of Convertible Notes will have the right to require us to purchase their Convertible Notes for cash. Afundamental change may also constitute an event of default or prepayment under, and result in the acceleration of the maturity of, our then‑existingindebtedness. In addition, upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, unless we settle our conversion obligation solely in shares of our common stock (otherthan cash in lieu of any fractional share), we will be required to make cash payments in respect of the Convertible Notes being surrendered for conversion. Wemay not have sufficient financial resources, or will be able to arrange financing, to pay the fundamental change purchase price in cash with respect to anyConvertible Notes surrendered by holders for purchase upon a fundamental change or make cash payments upon conversions. In addition, restrictions in ourCredit Agreement or future credit facilities or other indebtedness, if any, may not allow us to purchase the Convertible Notes upon a fundamental change ormake cash payments upon conversions of the Convertible Notes. Our failure to purchase the Convertible Notes upon a fundamental change or make cashpayments upon conversions thereof when required would result in an event of default with respect to the Convertible Notes which could, in turn, constitute adefault under the terms of our other indebtedness, if any. If the repayment of the related indebtedness were to be accelerated after any applicable notice orgrace periods, we may not have sufficient funds to repay the indebtedness and purchase the Convertible Notes or make cash payments upon conversionsthereof.Fluctuations in interest rates and turmoil in the financial markets could increase our cost of borrowing and impede access to or increase the cost offinancing our operations and acquisitionsInterest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control, including general economic conditions and policies of variousgovernmental and regulatory agencies and, in particular, the Federal Reserve Board, which recently increased rates and may continue to do so. Increases ininterest rates would increase our borrowing costs over time and could36Table of Contentsnegatively impact our results of operations. While we have access to global credit markets, financial markets may experience significant disruption ordeterioration, which could make future financing difficult or more expensive to secure and could negatively impact our ability to finance acquisitions.Holders of our common stock may be diluted by future issuances of common or preferred stock or convertible securities in connection with our incentiveplans, acquisitions or otherwise; and future sales of such shares in the public market, or the expectations that such sales may occur, could lower our stockprice.Our charter authorizes us to issue shares of our common stock and options, rights, warrants and appreciation rights relating to our common stock forthe consideration and on the terms and conditions established by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion. We could issue a significant number of sharesof common stock, or securities convertible into shares of our common stock, in the future in connection with investments or acquisitions. Any of theseissuances could dilute our existing stockholders, and such dilution could be significant. Moreover, such dilution could have a material adverse effect on themarket price for the shares of our common stock.The future issuance of shares of preferred stock with voting rights may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of shares of our commonstock, either by diluting the voting power of our common stock if the preferred stock votes together with the common stock as a single class, or by giving theholders of any such preferred stock the right to block an action on which they have a separate class vote, even if the action were approved by the holders ofour shares of our common stock. The future issuance of shares of preferred stock with dividend or conversion rights, liquidation preferences or othereconomic terms favorable to the holders of preferred stock could adversely affect the market price for our common stock by making an investment in thecommon stock less attractive.We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future and, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on yourinvestment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Consequently, investors must rely onsales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any gains on their investment. Investors seeking cashdividends should not purchase our common stock.Certain provisions in our charter documents and agreements and Delaware law may inhibit potential acquisition bids for our company and preventchanges in our management.Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contains provisions that could depress the trading price of our common stock by acting to discourage,delay or prevent a change of control of our company or changes in management that our stockholders might deem advantageous. As a result of theseprovisions in our certificate of incorporation, the price investors may be willing to pay for shares of our common stock may be limited.In addition, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which imposes certain restrictions on mergers and otherbusiness combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of our common stock.Item 1B.

Legal ProceedingsThe Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. Legal fees and other costs associated with such actionsare expensed as incurred. The Company will record a provision for these claims when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount ofthe loss, or a range of the potential loss, can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed regularly and adjusted to reflect the impacts ofnegotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information or events pertaining to a particular case. Legal proceedings accruals arerecorded when and if it is determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. For litigation matters where a loss may be reasonably possible,but not probable, or is probable but not reasonably estimable, no accrual is established, but if the matter is material, it is subject to disclosures. The Companybelieves that liabilities associated with any claims, while possible, are not probable, and therefore has not recorded any accrual for any claims as ofDecember 31, 2018. Further, while any possible range of loss cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, the Company does not believe that the outcome ofany of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, would, if determined adversely to it, have a material adverse effect on its financial condition orbusiness, although an adverse resolution of legal proceedings could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flow in aparticular quarter or year.Item 4.

The Company onboarded an additional $57.1 billion insubscription conversions during 2017, bringing total conversions for the year to $106.7 billion.Asset and account figures in the “Reclass to Subscription” columns above for the year ended December 31, 2018 represent enterprise customerswhose billing arrangements in future periods are subscription-based. Such amounts are included in Subscription metrics at the end of the quarter in which thereclassification occurred, with no impact on total platform assets or accounts.Envestnet | Yodlee SegmentPaid UsersA paid user is defined as a user of an application or service provided to our customer using the Envestnet | Yodlee platform whose status correspondsto a billable activity under the associated customer contract. We believe that our ability to increase the number of paid users is an indicator of our marketpenetration, the growth of our business, and our potential future business opportunities.Paid users were approximately 23.3 million, 22.4 million and 22.0 million as of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase wasprimarily driven by an increase in our number of customers as well as expansion of user base within certain existing customers.RevenuesOverviewWe earn revenues primarily under three pricing models. First, a majority of our revenues is derived from fees charged as a percentage of the assetsthat are managed or administered on our technology platforms by financial advisors. These revenues are recorded under asset-based revenues. Our asset‑basedfees vary based on the types of investment solutions and services that financial advisors utilize. Asset‑based fees accounted for approximately 59%, 60% and61% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. In future periods, the percentage of our total revenuesattributable to asset‑based fees is expected to vary based on fluctuations in securities markets, whether we enter into significant subscription agreements, themix of AUM or AUA, and other factors.We generate revenues from recurring, contractual subscription fees for providing access to our technology platforms. This subscription revenueincludes both contractual minimum payments and usage-based fees and is driven primarily by the number of customers, including new customers as well ascustomers who renew their existing subscription contracts, and the number of paid users. These revenues are recorded under subscription-based revenues.Subscription fees vary based on the scope of technology solutions and services being used, and are priced in a variety of constructs based on the size of thebusiness, number of users or number of accounts and in many cases can increase over time based on the growth of these factors. Subscription fees accountedfor 36%, 36% and 34% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.We also generate revenues from fees received in connection with professional services and other revenue.Asset-based recurring revenuesWe generally charge our customers fees based on a higher percentage of the market value of AUM than the fees we charge on the market value ofAUA, because we provide fiduciary oversight and/or act as the investment advisor in connection with assets we categorize as AUM. The level of fees variesbased on the nature of the investment solutions and services we provide, as well as the specific investment manager, fund and/or custodian chosen by thefinancial advisor. A portion of our revenues from assets under management or administration include costs paid by us to third parties for sub‑advisory,clearing, custody and brokerage services. These expenses are recorded under cost of revenues. We do not have fiduciary responsibility in connection withAUA and, therefore, generally charge lower fees on these assets. Our fees for AUA vary based on the nature of the investment solutions and services weprovide.For approximately 90% of our asset-based recurring revenues from assets under management or administration, we bill customers at the beginning ofeach quarter based on the market value of customer assets on our platforms as of the end of the prior quarter. For example, asset-based recurring revenuesrecognized during the fourth quarter of 2018 were primarily44Table of Contentsbased on the market value of assets as of September 30, 2018. Our asset-based recurring revenues are generally recognized ratably throughout the quarterbased on the number of days in the quarter.Our asset-based recurring revenues are affected by the amount of new assets that are added to existing and new client accounts, which we refer to asgross sales. Gross sales, from time to time, also include conversions of client assets to our technology platforms. The amounts of assets that are withdrawnfrom client accounts are referred to as redemptions. We refer to the difference between gross sales and redemptions as net flows. Positive net flows indicatethat the market value of assets added to client accounts exceeds the market value of assets that have been withdrawn from client accounts.Our asset-based revenues are also affected by changes in the market values of securities held in client accounts due to fluctuations in the securitiesmarkets. Certain types of securities have historically experienced greater market price fluctuations, such as equity securities, than other securities, such asfixed income securities, though in any given period the type of securities that experience the greatest fluctuations may vary.Subscription-based recurring revenuesSubscription-based recurring revenues are recognized ratably over the contracted term of each respective subscription agreement, commencing onthe date the service is provisioned to the customer, provided all applicable revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied. As part of the subscriptioncontracts, our customers generally commit to a minimum level of paid users from which a minimum level of non-refundable subscription revenue is derived.As paid users in excess of the guaranteed minimum level access the Envestnet | Yodlee platform, the customer is then required to pay additional usage feescalculated based upon a contracted per-paid-user fee. No refunds or credits are given if fewer paid users access the Envestnet | Yodlee platform than thecontracted minimum level. Usage-based revenue is recognized as earned, provided all applicable revenue recognition criteria have been satisfied.Professional services and other revenuesTo a lesser degree we also receive revenues from professional services fees by providing customers with certain technology platform softwaredevelopment and implementation services. These revenues are recognized with when completed, under a proportional‑performance model utilizing anoutput‑based approach or on a straight‑line basis over the estimated life of the customer relationship. Our contracts generally have fixed prices, and generallyspecify or quantify interim deliverables.ExpensesThe following is a description of our principal expense items:Cost of revenuesCost of revenues primarily includes expenses related to our receipt of sub‑ advisory and clearing, custody and brokerage services from third parties.The largest component of cost of revenues is paid to third party investment managers. Clearing, custody and brokerage services are performed by third‑partyproviders. These expenses are typically calculated based upon a contractual percentage of the market value of assets held in customer accounts measured asof the end of each fiscal quarter and are recognized ratably throughout the quarter based on the number of days in the quarter. Also included in cost ofrevenues are vendor specific expenses related to the direct support of revenues associated with the Envestnet | Yodlee products.Compensation and benefitsCompensation and benefits expenses primarily relate to employee compensation, including salaries, short-term incentive compensation, non‑cashstock‑based compensation, incentive compensation, benefits and employer‑related taxes.General and administrationGeneral and administration expenses include occupancy costs and expenses relating to communications services, research and data services, websiteand system development, marketing, professional and legal services, travel and entertainment and acquisition/transaction related expenses.45Table of ContentsDepreciation and amortizationDepreciation and amortization expenses include depreciation and amortization related to:•fixed assets, including computer equipment and software, leasehold improvements, office furniture and fixtures and other office equipment;•internally developed software; and•intangible assets, primarily related to customer lists, backlog, proprietary technology and trade names, the value of which are capitalized inconnection with our acquisitions.Furniture and equipment are depreciated using the straight‑line method based on the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets. Leaseholdimprovements are amortized using the straight‑line method over their estimated economic useful lives or the remaining lease term, whichever is shorter.Improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance costs are recorded as expenses in the period they are incurred. Assets are tested forrecoverability whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable.Internally developed software is amortized on a straight‑line basis over its estimated useful life. We evaluate the useful lives of these assets on anannual basis and test for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets.Intangible assets are depreciated using an accelerated or straight‑line basis over their estimated economic useful lives and are reviewed for possibleimpairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets.Interest expenseInterest expense includes coupon interest, discount amortization and issuance cost amortization related to the Convertible Notes as well asamortization of upfront fees and monthly fees related to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The discount, issuance costs and upfront feesare amortized over the term of the related agreements.Other expense, netOther expense, net includes foreign exchange gains or losses and gain or loss on foreign currency forward contracts as well as other miscellaneousrevenue or expense items as appropriate.Critical Accounting PoliciesOur consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles GAAP. The accounting policies described belowrequire management to apply significant judgment in connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. In particular, judgment isapplied to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in calculating estimates that affect certain reported amounts in our consolidated financialstatements. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under thecircumstances. If different estimates or assumptions were used, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could have been materiallydifferent than those reflected in our consolidated financial statements. For additional information regarding our critical accounting policies, see “Note 2 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8.Revenue RecognitionThe Company derives revenues from asset-based and subscription-based services and professional services and other sources. Revenues arerecognized when control of these services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to inexchange for those services. All revenue recognized in the consolidated statements of operations is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers.Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenues.Asset-based recurring revenues— Asset-based recurring revenues primarily consist of fees for providing customers continuous access to platformservices through the Company’s uniquely customized platforms. These platform services include46Table of Contentsinvestment manager research, portfolio diagnostics, proposal generation, investment model management, rebalancing and trading, portfolio performancereporting and monitoring solutions, billing and back office and middle-office operations and administration and are made available to customers throughoutthe contractual term from the date the customized platform is launched. The asset-based fees the Company earns are generally based upon variable percentages of assets managed or administered on our platforms. The feepercentage varies based on the level and type of services the Company provides to its customers, as well as the values of existing customer accounts. Thevalues of the customer accounts are affected by inflows or outflows of customer funds and market fluctuations.The platform services are substantially the same over each quarter and performed in a similar manner over the contract period, and are consideredstand-ready promises. The platform services that are delivered to the customer over the quarter are considered distinct, as the customer benefits distinctly fromeach increment of our services and each quarter is separately identified in the contract, and are considered to be a single performance obligation under thenew revenue standard.The pricing generally resets each quarter and the pricing structure is consistent throughout the term of the contract. The variable fees are generallycalculated and billed quarterly in advance based on preceding quarter-end values and the variable amounts earned from the platform services relatespecifically to the benefits transferred to the customer during that quarter. Accordingly, revenue is allocated to the specific quarter in which services areperformed.The asset-based contracts generally contain one performance obligation and revenue is recognized on a ratable basis over the quarter beginning onthe date that the platform services are made available to the customer as the customer simultaneously consumes and receives the benefits of the services. Allasset-based fees are recognized in the Envestnet segment. For certain services provided by third parties, the Company evaluates whether it is the principal (revenues reported on a gross basis) or agent(revenues reported on a net basis). Generally, the Company reports customer fees including charges for third party service providers where the Company has adirect contract with such third party service providers on a gross basis, whereas the amounts billed to its customers are recorded as revenues, and amountspaid to third party service providers are recorded as cost of revenues. The Company is the principal in the transaction because it controls the services beforethey are transferred to its customers. Control is evidenced by the Company being primarily responsible to its customers and having discretion in establishingpricing. Subscription-based recurring revenues— Subscription-based recurring revenues primarily consist of fees for providing customers continuous accessto the Company’s platform for wealth management and financial wellness. The subscription-based fees generally include fixed fees and or usage-based fees. Generally, the subscription services are substantially the same over each quarter and performed in a similar manner over the contract period, and areconsidered stand-ready promises. Quarterly subscription services are considered distinct as the customer can benefit from each increment of services on itsown and each quarter is separately identified in the contract, and services are considered to be a single performance obligation under the new revenuestandard. The usage-based pricing generally resets each quarter and the pricing structure is generally consistent throughout the term of the contract. The fixedfees are generally calculated and billed quarterly in advance. The usage-based fees are generally calculated and are billed either monthly or quarterly basedon the actual usage and relate specifically to the benefits transferred to the customer during that quarter. Accordingly, revenue is allocated to the specificquarter in which services are performed. Certain subscription-based contracts contain multiple performance obligations (i.e. platform services performance obligation and professionalservices performance obligation). Fixed fees are generally recognized on a ratable basis over the quarter beginning when the subscription services are madeavailable to the customer, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the subscription services. Usage-based revenue is recognizedon a monthly basis as the customer receives and consumes the benefit as the Company provides the services. Subscription-based fees are recognized in boththe Envestnet and Envestnet | Yodlee segments. Professional services and other revenues— The Company earns professional services fees by providing contractual customized services andplatform software development as well as initial implementation fees. Professional services contracts generally have fixed prices, and generally specify thedeliverables in the contract. Certain professional services contracts are billed on a time and materials basis and revenue is recognized over time as the servicesare performed. For contracts billed on a47Table of Contentsfixed price basis, revenue is recognized over time based on the proportion of services performed. Initial implementation fees are fixed and recognized ratablyover the contract term. Other revenue primarily includes revenue related to the Advisor Summit. Other revenue is recognized when the events are held. Other revenue is notsignificant. The majority of the professional services and other contracts contain one performance obligation. Professional services and other revenues arerecognized in both the Envestnet and Envestnet | Yodlee segments. Arrangements with multiple performance obligations— Certain of the Company’s contracts with customers contain multiple performanceobligations such as platform services performance obligation and professional services performance obligation. For such arrangements, the Companyallocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling prices of services are estimated based onobservable transactions when these services are sold on a standalone basis or based on expected cost plus margin.Contract Balances— The Company records contract liabilities (deferred revenue) when cash payments are received in advance of its performance.The term between invoicing date and when payment is due is generally not significant. For the majority of its arrangements, the Company requires advancequarterly payments before the services are delivered to the customer.Deferred Revenue— Deferred revenue primarily consists of implementation fees, professional services and subscription fee payments received inadvance from customers.Deferred sales incentive compensation—Sales incentive compensation earned by the Company’s sales force is considered an incremental andrecoverable cost to acquire a contract with a customer. Sales incentive compensation for initial contracts is deferred and amortized on a straight-line basisover the period of benefit, which the Company has determined to be five years. The Company determined the period of benefit by taking into considerationits customer contracts, life of the technology and other factors. Sales incentive compensation for renewal contracts are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the related contractual renewal period. Deferred sales incentive compensation is included in other non-current assets on the consolidatedbalance sheet and amortization expense is included in compensation and benefits expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.Purchase accountingAssigning fair market values to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of an acquisition requires knowledge of current market values,and the values of assets in use, and often requires the application of judgment regarding estimates and assumptions. While the ultimate responsibility resideswith management, for material acquisitions, we retain the services of certified valuation specialists to assist with assigning estimated values to certainacquired assets and assumed liabilities, including intangible assets and contingent consideration.Acquired intangible assets, excluding goodwill, are valued using a discounted cash flow methodology based on future cash flows specific to thetype of intangible asset purchased. This methodology incorporates various estimates and assumptions, the most significant being projected revenue growthrates, margins and forecasted cash flows based on the discount rate and terminal growth rate. Management projects revenue growth rates, margins and cashflows based on the historical operating results of the acquired entity adjusted for synergies anticipated to be achieved through integration, expected futureperformance, operational strategies and the general macroeconomic environment. We review finite‑lived intangible assets for triggering events such assignificant changes in operations, customers or future revenue that might indicate the need to impair the assets acquired or change the useful lives of theassets acquired. There was no impairment recognized on intangible assets in 2018, 2017 or 2016.Assumed liabilities are valued based on estimates of anticipated expenditures to be incurred to satisfy the assumed obligations, includingcontractual liabilities assumed, which require the exercise of professional judgment.Assumed contracts may have favorable or unfavorable terms that must be valued as of the acquisition date. Such valuation is subject to managementjudgment regarding the evaluation and interpretation of contract terms in relation to other economic circumstances, such as the market rates for office spaceleases.48Table of ContentsIf we assume a performance obligation to customers as of the acquisition date, a deferred revenue obligation is recognized. Judgment is required toevaluate whether a future performance obligation exists and to assign a value to the performance obligation.Assumed acquired tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions are dependent on assessing the past practices of the acquisition target based on ourreview of actual tax filings and information obtained through due diligence procedures. Evaluation of the validity of tax positions taken by the acquisitiontarget are subject to management judgment.The Company determines the fair value of contingent acquisition consideration payable on the acquisition date using a discounted cash flowapproach utilizing an appropriate discount rate. Each reporting period thereafter, the Company revalues these obligations and records increases or decreasesin their fair value as adjustments to fair market value adjustment on contingent consideration in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.Changes in the fair value of the contingent acquisition consideration payable can result from adjustments to the estimated revenue forecasts included in thecontingent payment calculations.Reviews for impairment of goodwill and acquired intangible assetsGoodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and more often if an event occurs or circumstances change thatwould more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Based on the relevant GAAP authoritative guidance, weaggregate components of a single operating segment into a reporting unit, if appropriate. For purposes of performing the impairment tests, we identifyreporting units in accordance with GAAP. The identification of reporting units and consideration of aggregation criteria requires management judgment.If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is performed. If the carrying value ofthe reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then a quantitative evaluation must be performed. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its fairvalue, then an impairment loss equal to the difference will be recorded. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, prior to performing thequantitative evaluation, an assessment of qualitative factors may be performed to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reportingunit exceeds the carrying value. If it is determined that it is unlikely that the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the Company is not required to completethe quantitative goodwill impairment evaluation. The selection and assessment of qualitative factors used to determine whether it is more likely than not thatthe fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value involves management judgment.Envestnet completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 31, 2018 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. At that date,Envestnet determined it was appropriate to aggregate certain components of the same operating segment into a single reporting unit. The Company hasconcluded that it has two reporting units. Envestnet also determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting units exceeded thecarrying value and concluded that goodwill was not impaired. As a result, the Company did not perform the quantitative goodwill impairment evaluation.As part of the Company’s ongoing monitoring efforts to assess goodwill for possible indications of impairment, we will continue to consider a widevariety of factors, including but not limited to the global economic environment and its potential impact on Envestnet’s business. There can be no assurancethat our estimates and assumptions regarding forecasted cash flows of certain reporting units, the current economic environment, or the other inputs used inforecasting the present value of forecasted cash flows will prove to be accurate projections of future performance.Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances may affect the recoverability of the net assets. Suchreviews include an analysis of current results and take into consideration the undiscounted value of projected operating cash flows. No impairment chargeshave been recorded for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016.Income taxesWe are subject to income taxes in the United States, Australia, Canada, India, and the United Kingdom. Significant judgment is required inevaluating our tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes.We use the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequencesattributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for netoperating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in whichthose temporary differences are49Table of Contentsexpected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Company’s income taxprovision in the period that includes the enactment date. We record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that we determine ismore-likely-than-not to be realized in the future.In our ordinary course of business, we may enter into transactions for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. In such cases, we establishreserves for tax-related uncertainties based on our estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. The reserves are establishedwhen we believe that certain positions are likely to be challenged and may not be fully sustained on review by tax authorities. We adjust these reserves inlight of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit or refinement of an estimate. Although we believe our reserves are reasonable, noassurance can be given that the final outcome of these matters will not be different from that which is reflected in our historical income tax provisions andaccruals. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will be reflected in our provision forincome taxes. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate.The amount of income tax we pay is subject to audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, which may result in proposed assessments. Ourestimate of the potential outcome for any uncertain tax issue is highly judgmental. We believe that we have adequately provided for the foreseeable outcomerelated to these matters. However, our future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities in the period theassessments are made or resolved, audits are closed or when statutes of limitations on potential assessments expire. Additionally, the jurisdictions in whichour earnings or deductions are realized may differ from our current estimates. As a result, our effective tax rate may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis.Significant judgment is also required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In assessing the need for avaluation allowance, we consider all available evidence, including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income and the feasibility of taxplanning strategies. In the event that we change our determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, we will adjust our valuationallowance with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. As a result of the net deferred taxliability position of the January 2018 acquisition of FolioDynamix, the Company released a portion of its valuation allowance during the first quarter of2018.Our effective tax rates differ from the statutory rates primarily due to the effect of state taxes, foreign taxes, prior period true-ups, indefinite-livedintangibles, the Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax ("BEAT") and release of a portion of the valuation allowance due to the FolioDynamix acquisition. Ourprovision for income taxes varies based on, among other things, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, the tax effects of non-cashstock-based compensation or changes in applicable tax laws, regulations and accounting principles or interpretations thereof.We are subject to examination of our income tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. We assess the likelihood ofadverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes.

As apercentage of total revenues, general and administration expenses decreased from 21% to 20% in 2017 and 2018, respectively.Depreciation and amortizationDepreciation and amortization decreased 11% from $36,597 to $32,487 in 2018, primarily due to an decrease in intangible asset amortization of$4,553, mainly related to amortization of Yodlee backlog intangible assets which is reaching the end of its useful life in November 2019 and is thereforeamortizing at a significantly lower rate in 2018 compared to 2017 as a result of accelerated amortization in the early years. This decrease was partially offsetby an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $443. As a percentage of total revenues, depreciation and amortization expense decreased from23% to 18% in 2017 and 2018, respectively.Year ended December 31, 2017 compared to year ended December 31, 2016 for the Envestnet | Yodlee segmentRevenuesSubscription-based recurring revenuesSubscription-based recurring revenues increased 23% from $113,785 in 2016 to $139,819 in 2017. This increase was primarily due to an increase of$18.9 million in revenue attributed to our data analytics channel with the remainder primarily derived from our FI and YI channels.Professional services and other revenuesProfessional services and other revenues decreased 5% from $16,747 in 2016 to $15,955 in 2017. This decrease was primarily due to timing of newdata analytics customer deployments.Cost of revenuesCost of revenues increased 22% from $10,858 in 2016 to $13,244 in 2017, primarily due to an increase in third party consulting and professionalservices of $900 for new data analytics customer deployments and hosting and payment processing services of $1,577 to support our overall revenue growth.As a percentage of total revenues, cost of revenues increased from 8% in 2016 to 9% in 2017.59Table of ContentsCompensation and benefitsCompensation and benefits increased 9% from $85,972 in 2016 to $93,316 in 2017, primarily due to an increase in salaries, benefits and relatedpayroll taxes of $10,192, as a result of increased headcount to support organic growth and an increase related to the Wheelhouse acquisition, and an increasein incentive compensation of $1,809, offset by a decrease in non-cash compensation expense of $4,153. As a percentage of total revenues, compensation andbenefits decreased from 66% in 2016 to 60% in 2017. The decrease in compensation and benefits as a percentage of total revenues is primarily due to ahigher revenue increase compared to lower growth in compensation and benefit expenses.General and administrationGeneral and administration expenses decreased 3% from $33,034 in 2016 to $32,073 in 2017, primarily due to decreases in litigation relatedexpense of $4,317 and realized losses on designated hedges of $486, offset by increases in software purchase and maintenance of $2,120 and occupancy costof $1,856. As a percentage of total revenues, general and administration expenses decreased from 25% in 2016 to 21% in 2017. The decrease in general andadministration as a percentage of total revenues is primarily due to a higher revenue increase compared to lower growth in general and administrationexpenses.Depreciation and amortizationDepreciation and amortization expense decreased 7% from $39,215 in 2016 to $36,597 in 2017, primarily due to a decrease in intangible assetamortization of $1,653 primarily due to a significant portion of the intangible assets being amortized using an accelerated expense method throughout theassets’ useful lives and the majority of such assets being acquired prior to 2017, as well as a decrease in depreciation of property and equipment of $965. As apercentage of total revenues, depreciation and amortization expense decreased from 30% in 2016 to 23% in 2017. The decrease in depreciation andamortization as a percentage of total revenues is primarily due to a higher revenue increase and a decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses.NonsegmentThe following table presents nonsegment operating expenses: Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 % Change 2016 % Change (in thousands, except for percentages)Operating expenses: Compensation and benefits $22,917 $13,839 66% $11,224 23%General and administration 28,396 25,734 10% 15,351 68%Total operating expenses $51,313 $39,573 30% $26,575 49% Year ended December 31, 2018 compared to year ended December 31, 2017 for nonsegmentCompensation and benefitsCompensation and benefits increased 66% from $13,839 to $22,917 in 2018, primarily due to increases in non-cash compensation expenses of$4,091, salaries, benefits and related payroll taxes of $3,119 and incentive compensation of $2,081.General and administrationGeneral and administration expenses increased 10% from $25,734 to $28,396 in 2018, primarily due to increases in systems development costs of$2,715, professional and legal fees of $1,244 and insurance, bank and payroll charges of $513, partially offset by a decrease in non-recurring corporateexpenses of $2,593.60Table of ContentsYear ended December 31, 2017 compared to year ended December 31, 2016 for nonsegmentCompensation and benefitsCompensation and benefits increased 23% from $11,224 in 2016 to $13,839 in 2017, primarily due to increases in salaries, benefits and relatedpayroll taxes of $2,807.General and administrationGeneral and administration expenses increased 68% from $15,351 in 2016 to $25,734 in 2017, primarily due to increases in transaction relatedexpenses of $8,484, professional and legal fees of $2,582 and marketing expense of $524, partially offset by a decrease in fair market value adjustments tocontingent consideration liabilities of $1,588.Non‑GAAP Financial MeasuresIn addition to reporting results according to GAAP, we also disclose certain financial measures to enhance the understanding of our operatingperformance. Those measures include “adjusted revenues”, “adjusted EBITDA”, “adjusted net income” and “adjusted net income per share”.“Adjusted revenues” excludes the effect of purchase accounting on the fair value of acquired deferred revenue. Under GAAP, we record at fair valuethe acquired deferred revenue for contracts in effect at the time the entities were acquired. Consequently, revenue related to acquired entities for periodssubsequent to the acquisition does not reflect the full amount of revenue that would have been recorded by these entities had they remained stand‑aloneentities.“Adjusted EBITDA” represents net income (loss) before deferred revenue fair value adjustment, interest income, interest expense, accretion oncontingent consideration and purchase liability, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization, non‑cash compensation expense,restructuring charges and transaction costs, severance, fair market value adjustment on contingent consideration, litigation related expense, foreign currencyand related hedging activity, other (income) loss, non-income tax expense adjustment, impairment of equity method investment, loss allocation from equitymethod investment and loss attributable to non‑controlling interest.“Adjusted net income” represents net income (loss) before deferred revenue fair value adjustment, accretion on contingent consideration andpurchase liability, non‑cash interest expense, non‑cash compensation expense, restructuring charges and transaction costs, severance, amortization ofacquired intangibles, fair‑market value adjustment on contingent consideration, litigation related expense, foreign currency and related hedging activity,other (income) loss, non-income tax expense adjustment, impairment of equity method investment, loss allocation from equity method investment and lossattributable to non‑controlling interest. Reconciling items are presented gross of tax, and a normalized tax rate is applied to the total of all reconciling itemsto arrive at adjusted net income. The reconciling items, and resulting adjusted net income, are presented on a different basis than historically shown toeliminate the impact of quarterly volatility of the GAAP tax provision on the Company’s adjusted earnings figures.“Adjusted net income per share” represents adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders divided by the diluted number ofweighted‑average shares outstanding.Our Board of Directors and our management use adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share:•As measures of operating performance;•For planning purposes, including the preparation of annual budgets;•To allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business;•To evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies; and•In communications with our Board of Directors concerning our financial performance.Our Compensation Committee, Board of Directors and our management may also consider adjusted EBITDA, among other factors, when determiningmanagement’s incentive compensation.61Table of ContentsWe also present adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share as supplemental performance measuresbecause we believe that they provide our Board of Directors, management and investors with additional information to assess our performance. Adjustedrevenues provide comparisons from period to period by excluding the effect of purchase accounting on the fair value of acquired deferred revenue. AdjustedEBITDA provide comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences caused by variations in the age and book depreciation of fixed assetsaffecting relative depreciation expense and amortization of internally developed software, amortization of acquired intangible assets, litigation‑relatedexpense, foreign currency and related hedging activity, income tax provision (benefit), restructuring charges and transaction costs, accretion on contingentconsideration and purchase liability, fair market value adjustments on contingent consideration, non-income tax expense, other (income) expense, severance,impairment of equity method investment, loss allocation from equity method investment, loss attributable to non‑controlling interest and changes in interestexpense and interest income that are influenced by capital structure decisions and capital market conditions. Our management also believes it is useful toexclude non‑cash stock‑based compensation expense from adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income because non‑cash equity grants made at a certain priceand point in time do not necessarily reflect how our business is performing at any particular time.We believe adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are useful to investors in evaluating ouroperating performance because securities analysts use adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share assupplemental measures to evaluate the overall performance of companies, and we anticipate that our investor and analyst presentations will include adjustedrevenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share.Adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are not measurements of our financial performanceunder GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to revenues, net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived inaccordance with GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our profitability or liquidity.We understand that, although adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share are frequently used bysecurities analysts and others in their evaluation of companies, these measures have limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them inisolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In particular you should consider:•Adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share do not reflect our cash expenditures, futurerequirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;•Adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share do not reflect changes in, cash requirements for, ourworking capital needs;•Adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share do not reflect non‑cash components of employeecompensation;•Although depreciation and amortization are non‑cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized often will have to be replaced in thefuture, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;•Due to either net losses before income tax expense or the use of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards in 2018, 2017 and 2016, we hadcash income tax payments, net of refunds, of $5,531, $3,261, and $1,114 in the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.Income tax payments will be higher if we continue to generate taxable income and our existing net operating loss carryforwards for federal andstate income taxes have been fully utilized or have expired; and•Other companies in our industry may calculate adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per sharedifferently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.Management compensates for the inherent limitations associated with using adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income,adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share through disclosure of such limitations, presentation of our financial statements in accordancewith GAAP and reconciliation of adjusted revenues to revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP measure and adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income andadjusted net income per share to net income and net income per share, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Further, our management alsoreviews GAAP62Table of Contentsmeasures and evaluates individual measures that are not included in some or all of our non‑U.S. GAAP financial measures, such as our level of capitalexpenditures and interest income, among other measures.The following table sets forth a reconciliation of total revenues to adjusted revenues based on our historical results: Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016 (in thousands)Total revenues $812,363 $683,679 $578,164Deferred revenue fair value adjustment 118 130 1,270Adjusted revenues $812,481 $683,809 $579,434The following table sets forth the reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA based on our historical results: Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016 (in thousands)Net income (loss) $4,010 $(3,280) $(55,567)Add (deduct): Deferred revenue fair value adjustment 118 130 1,270Interest income (2,363) (201) (37)Interest expense 25,203 16,347 16,600Accretion on contingent consideration and purchase liability 222 512 150Income tax provision (benefit) (13,172) 1,591 15,077Depreciation and amortization 77,626 62,820 63,999Non-cash compensation expense 40,245 31,331 33,276Restructuring charges and transaction costs 15,580 13,666 5,784Severance 8,318 2,316 4,342Fair market value adjustment on contingent consideration — — 1,588Litigation related expense — 1,033 5,591Foreign currency and related hedging activity (589) 494 (716)Other income — — (1,384)Non-income tax expense adjustment (590) 346 6,229Impairment of equity method investment — — 734Loss allocation from equity method investment 1,146 1,469 1,420Loss attributable to non-controlling interest 1,791 316 1,081Adjusted EBITDA $157,545 $128,890 $99,43763Table of ContentsThe following table sets forth the reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share based on ourhistorical results: Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016 (in thousands)Net income (loss) $4,010 $(3,280) $(55,567)Income tax provision (benefit) (1) (13,172) 1,591 15,077Loss before income tax provision (benefit) (9,162) (1,689) (40,490)Add (deduct): Deferred revenue fair value adjustment 118 130 1,270Accretion on contingent consideration and purchase liability 222 512 150Non-cash interest expense 13,905 8,994 8,244Non-cash compensation expense 40,245 31,331 33,276Restructuring charges and transaction costs 15,580 13,666 5,784Severance 8,318 2,316 4,342Amortization of acquired intangibles 53,856 42,127 45,515Fair market value adjustment on contingent consideration — — 1,588Litigation related expense — 1,033 5,591Foreign currency and related hedging activity (589) 494 (716)Other income — — (1,384)Non-income tax expense adjustment (590) 346 6,229Impairment of equity method investment — — 734Loss allocation from equity method investment 1,146 1,469 1,420Loss attributable to non-controlling interest 1,791 316 1,081Adjusted net income before income tax effect 124,840 101,045 72,634Income tax effect (2) (33,705) (40,418) (29,054)Adjusted net income $91,135 $60,627 $43,580 Basic number of weighted-average shares outstanding 45,268,002 43,732,148 42,814,222Effect of dilutive shares: Options to purchase common stock 1,304,493 1,649,225 1,278,827Unvested restricted stock units 811,590 770,428 486,823Diluted number of weighted-average shares outstanding 47,384,085 46,151,801 44,579,872Adjusted net income per share - diluted $1.92 $1.31 $0.98__________________________________________________________(1)For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the effective tax rate computed in accordance with GAAP equaled 143.8%, (94.2)% and(37.2)%, respectively.

We consider the unpaid contractual minimum payments under our subscription agreements to be ourbacklog. Due to the inherent volatility of backlog measured using contractual minimums, and the fact that contractual minimums are becoming increasinglyless important to our business, we do not utilize backlog as a key management metric internally and we do not believe that it is a meaningful measurement ofour future revenues.We expect that the amount of backlog relative to the total value of our subscription agreements will change from year to year for several reasons,including the timing of contract renewals, the proportion of total subscription revenue represented by contractual minimum payments and the average non-cancellable terms of our subscription agreements. The change in backlog that results from these events may not be an indicator of the likelihood of renewal orexpected future revenues.We also expect that as our customer base continues to mature and customer deployments scale usage, renewals over time will increasingly havefewer contractual minimum fees because such fees are intended to decrease the timing risk associated with initial deployment commitments.In addition, because revenue for any period is a function of revenue recognized from deferred revenue under contracts in existence at the beginningof the period, as well as contracts that are renewed and new customer contracts that are entered into during the period, backlog at the beginning of any periodis not necessarily indicative of future performance.68Table of ContentsCommitmentsThe following table sets forth information regarding our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2018: Payments Due by Period Total Less than 1 year 1 - 3 years 4 - 5 years More than 5years (in thousands)Convertible Notes $517,500 $172,500 $— $345,000 $—Operating leases (1) 106,314 15,997 30,142 20,726 39,449Purchase obligations 41,112 25,755 14,151 1,206 —Convertible Notes coupon interest payments 30,232 9,100 18,113 3,019 —Undrawn credit facility fees 3,108 888 2,220 — —Investment in private company 2,300 1,200 1,100 — —Contingent consideration 750 750 — — —Total $701,316 $226,190 $65,726 $369,951 $39,449__________________________________________________________(1)We lease facilities under non‑cancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through 2030.The table above does not reflect the following:•Amounts estimated for uncertain tax positions as the timing and likelihood of such payments cannot be reasonably estimated.•Voluntary employer matching contributions to our defined contribution benefit plans since the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. For theyears ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, we made voluntary employer matching contributions of $4,778, $4,038 and $2,270,respectively.The Company includes various types of indemnification and guarantee clauses in certain arrangements. These indemnifications and guarantees mayinclude, but are not limited to, infringement claims related to intellectual property, direct or consequential damages and guarantees to certain serviceproviders and service level requirements with certain customers. The type and amount of any potential indemnification or guarantee varies substantiallybased on the nature of each arrangement. The Company has experienced no previous claims and cannot determine the maximum amount of potential futurepayments, if any, related to such indemnification and guarantee provisions. The Company believes that it is unlikely it will have to make material paymentsunder these arrangements and therefore has not recorded a contingent liability in the consolidated balance sheets.Off‑Balance Sheet ArrangementsOther than operating leases as indicated above, we do not have any other off‑balance sheet arrangements.Recent Accounting PronouncementsIn May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which amends the existing accounting standards forrevenue recognition. This standard is effective for financial statements issued by public companies for annual and interim periods beginning after December15, 2017. These changes became effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018 and have been reflected in these consolidated financialstatements.In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.” This update amends the requirements for assets and liabilities recognized for all leaseslonger than twelve months. Lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability measured on a discounted basis, which is the lessee’s obligation to makelease payments arising from the lease, and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, aspecified asset for the lease term. This standard will be effective for financial statements issued by public companies for the annual and interim periodsbeginning after December 15, 2018 and will be applied using a modified retrospective approach with optional practical expedients. Early adoption of thestandard is permitted. The Company will adopt the new standard on its effective date of January 1, 2019 using the cumulative-effect adjustment transitionmethod with certain available transitional practical69Table of Contentsexpedients. The Company has substantially completed the implementation of key changes to internal controls over financial reporting to allow it to timelycompile the information needed to account for transactions under this new guidance.The standard will have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets and related disclosures but will not have a material impact on ourconsolidated income statements. The most significant impact will be the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases.The Company currently estimates adoption of ASU 2016-02 will result in the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases ofapproximately $66,000 and $84,000, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The difference between the ROU assets and lease liabilities primarily represents theexisting deferred rent liabilities, resulting from historical straight-lining of operating leases, which was reclassified upon adoption to reduce the measurementof the ROU assets.In March 2016, The FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. This update is intended to reducethe cost and complexity of accounting for share-based payments; however, some changes may also increase volatility in reported earnings. Under the newguidance, all excess tax benefits and deficiencies will be recorded as an income tax benefit or expense in the income statement and excess tax benefits will berecorded as an operating activity in the statements of cash flows. The new guidance also allows withholding up to the maximum individual statutory tax ratewithout classifying the awards as a liability. The cash paid to satisfy the statutory income tax withholding obligation will be classified as a financing activityin the statements of cash flows. Lastly, the update allows forfeitures to be estimated or recognized when they occur. The requirements for the excess taxeffects related to share-based payments at settlement must be applied on a prospective basis, and the other requirements under this standard are to be appliedon a retrospective basis. This standard will be effective for financial statements issued by public companies for annual and interim periods beginning afterDecember 15, 2016. These changes became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2017 and have been reflected in these consolidatedfinancial statements. As a result of the retrospective adoption of ASU 2016-09, for the year ended December 31, 2016 net cash provided by operatingactivities increased by $4,455 with a corresponding offset to net cash used in financing activities. The Company did not elect an accounting policy changeto record forfeitures as they occur and will continue to estimate forfeitures at each period.In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic326)". This update significantly changes the way that entities will be required to measure credit losses. The new standard requires that entities estimate creditlosses based upon an "expected credit loss" approach rather than the "incurred loss" approach, which is currently used. The new approach will require entitiesto measure all expected credit losses for financial assets based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable forecasts of collectability. Thechange in approach is anticipated to impact the timing of recognition of credit losses. This ASU will become effective for beginning January 1, 2020. Earlyadoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on ourconsolidated financial statements.In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and CashPayments,” which clarifies eight specific cash flow issues in an effort to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified within thestatement of cash flows. This standard is effective for financial statements issued by public companies for annual and interim periods beginning afterDecember 15, 2017. These changes became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018 and have been reflected in these consolidatedfinancial statements. Retrospective adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not have a material impact on the Company’s presentation of the consolidated statementsof cash flowsIn November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) – Restricted Cash,” which amends ASC 230 to provideclarifying guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. Additional disclosure is required to reconcilebetween the statement of financial position and the statement of cash flows when the statement of financial position includes more than one line item forcash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents. This standard is effective for financial statements issued by public companies forannual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. These changes became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018 andincluded $326 and $2,148 of restricted cash in the total of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2018and 2017, respectively.In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business (Topic 805),” which provides anew framework for determining whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. This standard is effectivefor financial statements issued by public companies for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. These changes became effective forthe Company’s fiscal year70Table of Contentsbeginning January 1, 2018 and did not have a material impact to these consolidated financial statements. This standard will be applied to all future businessacquisition and disposal transactions.In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350),” which removes step two from the goodwillimpairment test. As a result, an entity should perform its annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carryingamount and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting units’ fair value. This standard willbe effective for financial statements issued by public companies for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption ispermitted. The Company has adopted this standard as of April 1, 2017, however it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financialstatements.In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.” This updateclarifies which changes to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. Specifically, anentity would not apply modification account if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification as an equity or liability instrument are the same beforeand after the modification. This standard is effective for financial statements issued by public companies for annual and interim periods beginning afterDecember 15, 2017. These changes became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. This standard will be applied to all futuremodifications of share-based payment awards.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-BasedPayment Accounting.” This update clarifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees.Specifically, the update aligns the accounting for payments to non-employees to match the accounting for payments to employees, no longer accounting forthese transactions differently. This standard is effective for financial statements issued by public companies for annual and interim periods beginning afterDecember 15, 2018. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. This standard will be applied to all future non-employee share-based payments.In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the DisclosureRequirements for Fair Value Measurement.” This update aims to improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements on fair value measurement as part of thedisclosure framework project. This standard is effective for financial statements issued by public companies for annual and interim periods beginning afterDecember 15, 2019. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on ourconsolidated financial statements.In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’sAccounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging IssuesTask Force).” This update is intended to guide entities in evaluating the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement byproviding guidance for determining when the arrangement includes a software license. This standard is effective for financial statements issued by publiccompanies for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. The Company has elected to earlyadopt this standard beginning January 1, 2019.Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market RiskMarket riskOur exposure to market risk is directly related to revenues from asset management or administration earned based upon a contractual percentage ofAUM or AUA. In the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, 59%, 60% and 61% of our revenues, respectively, were derived from revenues based onthe market value of AUM or AUA.This percentage will vary over time. A decrease in the aggregate value of AUM or AUA may cause our revenue and income to decline. We do not usederivative financial instruments for speculative, hedging or trading purposes.71Table of ContentsForeign currency riskThe expenses of our India subsidiary, which primarily consist of expenditures related to compensation and benefits, are paid using the Indian Rupee.We are directly exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates through the translation of these monthly expenditures into U.S. dollars. As ofDecember 31, 2018, we estimate that a hypothetical 10% increase in the value of the Indian Rupee to the U.S. dollar would result in a decrease ofapproximately $4,862 to pre-tax earnings and a hypothetical 10% decrease in the value of the Indian Rupee to the U.S. dollar would result in an increase ofapproximately $3,978 to pre-tax earnings.The Company transacts business with entities which provide payment for services in foreign currencies. We are directly exposed to changes inforeign currency exchange rates through the translation of these revenues into U.S. dollars. As of December 31, 2018, we estimate that a hypothetical 10%increase in the value of these currencies to the U.S. dollar would result in a decrease of approximately $2,228 to pre-tax earnings and a hypothetical 10%decrease in the value of these currencies to the U.S. dollar would result in an increase of approximately $2,133 to pre-tax earnings.Interest rate riskWe are subject to market risk from changes in interest rates. The Company has a revolving credit facility that bears interest at LIBOR plus anapplicable margin between 1.50% and 3.25%. As the LIBOR rates fluctuate, so too will the interest expense on amounts borrowed under the SecondAmended and Restated Credit Agreement. Interest charged on the revolving credit facility during 2018 was approximately 4.1%. As of December 31, 2018,there were $0 of revolving credit amounts outstanding under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Company incurred interest expenseof $4,648 for the year ended December 31, 2018 related to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. A hypothetical 0.25% increase or decreasein our interest rate would increase or decrease interest expense on an annual basis by approximately $270.72Table of ContentsItem 8.

We also have audited the Company’s internal controlover financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committeeof Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as ofDecember 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2018, inconformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internalcontrol over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by theCommittee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.The Company acquired Folio Dynamics Holdings, Inc. and all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of a private company (collectively the“Acquired Companies”) during 2018, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financialreporting as of December 31, 2018 the Acquired Companies’ internal control over financial reporting associated with total assets of $222,223,000 and totalrevenues of $68,122,000 included in the consolidated financial statements of Envestnet, Inc. and subsidiaries as of and for the year ended December 31,2018. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of theAcquired Companies.Change in Accounting PrincipleAs discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for revenue transactions with customersdue to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as amended.Basis for OpinionsThe Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting,and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on InternalControl Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on theCompany’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company AccountingOversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities lawsand the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internalcontrol over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financialstatements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles usedand significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internalcontrol over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weaknessexists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits73Table of Contentsalso included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis forour opinions.Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial ReportingA company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reportingand the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal controlover financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairlyreflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permitpreparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are beingmade only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention ortimely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation ofeffectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliancewith the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ KPMG LLPWe have served as the Company’s auditor since 2013.Chicago, IllinoisMarch 1, 201974Table of ContentsEnvestnet, Inc.Consolidated Balance

References to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in these footnotes are to theFASB Accounting Standards Codification™, sometimes referred to as the codification or (“ASC”).Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Envestnet and its subsidiaries. All significantintercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.Management Estimates—Management of the Company has made certain estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities,revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP.Areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to estimating uncollectible receivables, revenue recognition, valuations and assumptions used forimpairment testing of goodwill, intangible and other long-lived assets, fair value of restricted stock and stock options issued, fair value of contingentconsideration, realization of deferred tax assets, uncertain tax positions, sales tax liabilities, fair value of the liability portion of the convertible debt, fairvalue of warrants issued, commitments and contingencies and assumptions used to allocate purchase prices in business combinations. Actual results coulddiffer materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.81Table of ContentsEnvestnet, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)(in thousands, except share and per share amounts) Revenue RecognitionThe Company derives revenues from asset-based services, subscription-based services and professional services and other sources. Revenues arerecognized when control of these services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to inexchange for those services. All revenue recognized in the consolidated statements of operations is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers.Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenues.Asset-based recurring revenues—Asset-based recurring revenues primarily consist of fees for providing customers continuous access to platformservices through the Company’s uniquely customized platforms. These platform services include investment manager research, portfolio diagnostics,proposal generation, investment model management, rebalancing and trading, portfolio performance reporting and monitoring solutions, billing and backoffice and middle-office operations and administration and are made available to customers throughout the contractual term from the date the customizedplatform is launched. The asset-based fees the Company earns are generally based upon variable percentages of assets managed or administered on our platforms. The feepercentage varies based on the level and type of services the Company provides to its customers, as well as the values of existing customer accounts. Thevalues of the customer accounts are affected by inflows or outflows of customer funds and market fluctuations.The platform services are substantially the same over each quarter and performed in a similar manner over the contract period, and are consideredstand-ready promises. The platform services that are delivered to the customer over the quarter are considered distinct, as the customer benefits distinctly fromeach increment of our services and each quarter is separately identified in the contract, and are considered to be a single performance obligation under thenew revenue standard.The pricing generally resets each quarter and the pricing structure is consistent throughout the term of the contract. The variable fees are generallycalculated and billed quarterly in advance based on preceding quarter-end values and the variable amounts earned from the platform services relatespecifically to the benefits transferred to the customer during that quarter. Accordingly, revenue is allocated to the specific quarter in which services areperformed.The asset-based contracts generally contain performance obligations and revenue is recognized on a ratable basis over the quarter beginning on thedate that the platform services are made available to the customer as the customer simultaneously consumes and receives the benefits of the services. Allasset-based fees are recognized in the Envestnet segment. For certain services provided by third parties, the Company evaluates whether it is the principal (revenues reported on a gross basis) or agent(revenues reported on a net basis). Generally, the Company reports customer fees including charges for third party service providers where the Company has adirect contract with such third party service providers on a gross basis, whereas the amounts billed to its customers are recorded as revenues, and amountspaid to third party service providers are recorded as cost of revenues. The Company is the principal in the transaction because it controls the services beforethey are transferred to its customers. Control is evidenced by the Company being primarily responsible to its customers and having discretion in establishingpricing. Subscription-based recurring revenues—Subscription-based recurring revenues primarily consist of fees for providing customers continuous accessto the Company’s platform for wealth management and financial wellness. The subscription-based fees generally include fixed fees and or usage-based fees. Generally, the subscription services are substantially the same over each quarter and performed in a similar manner over the contract period, and areconsidered stand-ready promises. Quarterly subscription services are considered distinct as the customer can benefit from each increment of services on itsown and each quarter is separately identified in the contract, and services are considered to be a single performance obligation under the new revenuestandard. The usage-based pricing generally resets each quarter and the pricing structure is generally consistent throughout the term of the contract. The fixedfees are generally calculated and billed quarterly in advance. The usage-based fees are generally calculated and are billed either monthly or quarterly basedon the actual usage and relate specifically to the benefits transferred to the customer during that quarter. Accordingly, revenue is allocated to the specificquarter in which services are performed.82Table of ContentsEnvestnet, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)(in thousands, except share and per share amounts) Certain subscription-based contracts contain multiple performance obligations (i.e. platform services performance obligation and professionalservices performance obligation). Fixed fees are generally recognized on a ratable basis over the quarter beginning when the subscription services are madeavailable to the customer, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the subscription services. Usage-based revenue is recognizedon a monthly basis as the customer receives and consumes the benefit as the Company provides the services. Subscription-based fees are recognized in boththe Envestnet and Envestnet | Yodlee segments. Professional services and other revenues— The Company earns professional services fees by providing contractual customized services andplatform software development as well as initial implementation fees. Professional services contracts generally have fixed prices, and generally specify thedeliverables in the contract. Certain professional services contracts are billed on a time and materials basis and revenue is recognized over time as the servicesare performed. For contracts billed on a fixed price basis, revenue is recognized over time based on the proportion of services performed. Initialimplementation fees are fixed and recognized ratably over the contract term. Other revenue primarily includes revenue related to the Advisor Summit. Other revenue is recognized when the events are held. Other revenue is notsignificant. The majority of the professional services and other contracts contain one performance obligation. Professional services and other revenues arerecognized in both the Envestnet and Envestnet | Yodlee segments. Arrangements with multiple performance obligations— Certain of the Company’s contracts with customers containmultiple performance obligations such as platform services performance obligation and professional services performance obligation. For such arrangements,the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Standalone selling prices of services areestimated based on observable transactions when these services are sold on a standalone basis or based on expected cost plus margin.Contract Balances—The Company records contract liabilities (deferred revenue) when cash payments are received in advance of its performance.The term between invoicing date and when payment is due is generally not significant. For the majority of its arrangements, the Company requires advancequarterly payments before the services are delivered to the customer.Contract assets would exist when revenues have been recorded (i.e. control of goods or services has been transferred to the customer) but customerpayment is contingent on a future event beyond the passage of time (i.e. satisfaction of additional performance obligations). The Company does not have anymaterial contract assets. Unbilled receivables, which are not classified as contract assets, represent arrangements in which revenues have been recorded priorto billing and right to payment is unconditional.Deferred revenue primarily consists of implementation fees, professional services, and subscription fee payments received in advance fromcustomers.Deferred sales incentive compensation—Sales incentive compensation earned by the Company’s sales force is considered an incremental andrecoverable cost to acquire a contract with a customer. Sales incentive compensation for initial contracts is deferred and amortized on a straight-line basisover the period of benefit, which the Company has determined to be five years. The Company determined the period of benefit by taking into considerationits customer contracts, life of the technology and other factors. Sales incentive compensation for renewal contracts are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the related contractual renewal period. Deferred sales incentive compensation is included in other non-current assets on the consolidatedbalance sheet and amortization expense is included in compensation and benefits expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.The Company has applied the practical expedient to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if theamortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are included in compensation and benefits expenses on the consolidated statements ofoperations.83Table of ContentsEnvestnet, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)Cost of Revenues—Cost of revenues primarily includes expenses related to third party investment management and clearing, custody and brokerageservices. Generally, these expenses are calculated based upon a contractual percentage of the market value of assets held in customer accounts measured as ofthe end of each quarter and are recognized ratably throughout the quarter based on the number of days in the quarter.Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—The Company evaluates the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts for potentially uncollectible feesreceivable. In establishing the amount of the allowance, if any, customer-specific information is considered related to delinquent accounts, includinghistorical loss experience and current economic conditions. As of December 31, 2018, and 2017, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $826and $407, respectively. Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less tobe cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed toconcentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. Restricted Cash—The following table reconciles cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash from the consolidated balance sheets to amounts reportedwithin the consolidated statements of cash flows: December 31, 2018 2017 2016Cash and cash equivalents $289,345 $60,115 $52,592Restricted cash included in prepaid expenses and other current assets 158 2,000 429Restricted cash included in other non-current assets 168 148 1,719Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $289,671 $62,263 $54,740Investments—The Company has investments that are recorded either at cost or using the equity method of accounting. Investments are included inother non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets and consist of non-marketable investments in privately held companies. The Company reviewsall investments on a regular basis to evaluate the carrying amount and economic viability of these investments. This policy includes, but is not limited to,reviewing each of the investee’s cash position, financing needs, earnings/revenue outlook, operational performance, management/ownership changes andcompetition. The evaluation process is based on information that the Company requests from these investees. This information is not subject to the samedisclosure regulations as U.S. publicly traded companies, and as such, the basis for these evaluations is subject to the timing and accuracy of the datareceived from these investees.The Company has investments in which it uses the equity method of accounting to record its portion of investments in these privately heldcompanies’ net income or loss on a one quarter lag from the actual results of operations. The Company uses the equity method of accounting because of itsless than 50% ownership and lack of control. The Company’s interest in the earnings or losses of the privately held companies will be reflected in otherexpense, net on the consolidated statements of operations.The Company’s investments are assessed for impairment when a review of the investee’s operations indicates that there is a decline in value of theinvestment and the decline is other than temporary. Such indicators include, but are not limited to, limited capital resources, limited prospects of receivingadditional financing, and prospects for liquidity of the related securities. Impaired investments are written down to estimated fair value. The Companyestimates fair value using a variety of valuation methodologies, including comparing the investee with publicly traded companies in similar lines ofbusiness, applying valuation multiples to estimated future operating results and estimated discounted future cash flows. There were $0, $0 and $734 inimpairments to investments during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.Property and Equipment—Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of furniture andequipment is computed using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on astraight-line basis over their estimated economic useful lives or the remaining lease term, whichever is shorter. Improvements are capitalized, while repairsand maintenance costs are charged84Table of ContentsEnvestnet, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)to operations as incurred. Assets are reviewed for recoverability whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.Internally Developed Software for Internal Use—Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once anapplication has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental, are capitalized until the software is substantiallycomplete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. The Company also capitalizes costs related tospecific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Maintenance and training costs are expensedas incurred. Internally developed software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. Management evaluates the useful lives of theseassets on an annual basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets.There were no impairments of internally developed software for internal use during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. Goodwill and Intangible Assets—Goodwill consists of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets of businessesacquired. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment each year using a qualitative or quantitative process that is performed at least annually or whenever events orcircumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. The Company performs the annual impairment analysis on October 31 in order to providemanagement time to complete the analysis prior to year-end. The Company has concluded that it has two reporting units.Prior to performing the quantitative evaluation, an assessment of qualitative factors may be performed to determine whether it is more likely than notthat the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value. If it is determined that it is unlikely that the carrying value exceeds the fair value, theCompany is not required to complete the quantitative goodwill impairment evaluation. If it is determined that the carrying value may exceed fair value whenconsidering qualitative factors, a quantitative goodwill impairment evaluation is performed.When performing the quantitative evaluation, if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss equal to thedifference will be recorded.No goodwill impairment charges have been recorded for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016.Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes incircumstances may affect the recoverability of the net assets. Such reviews include an analysis of current results and take into consideration the undiscountedvalue of projected operating cash flows. No intangible asset impairment charges have been recorded for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. Operating Leases—In certain circumstances, the Company enters into leases with free rent periods, rent escalations or lease incentives over the termof the lease. In such cases, the Company calculates the total payments over the term of the lease and records them ratably as rent expense over that term.Income Taxes—The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized forthe future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respectivetax bases and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income inthe years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax ratesis recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to anamount that is more likely than not to be realized.The Company follows authoritative guidance related to how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, disclosed and presented in theconsolidated financial statements. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s taxreturns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained “when challenged” or “when examined” by the applicable taxauthority. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from tax positions are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greaterthan 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Non-income Tax Liabilities—Certain of the Company’s revenues are subject to sales and use taxes in certain jurisdictions where it conducts businessin the United States. During 2018 and 2017, the Company estimated that a sales and85Table of ContentsEnvestnet, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)use tax liability of $8,643 and $8,522, respectively, was probable related to multiple taxing jurisdictions with respect to revenues in the years endedDecember 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and prior years. This amount is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balancesheets. For the same periods, the Company also estimated a sales and use tax receivable of $5,246 and $2,704, respectively, related to estimatedrecoverability of a portion of the liability. This amount is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 the Company recorded a net sales and use tax benefit of $1,176 including interest of $130,and a net sales and use tax expense of $345 and $6,229 including interest of $244 and $914, respectively. The sales and use tax adjustment was recorded ingeneral and administration on the consolidated statements of operations. Additional future information obtained from the applicable jurisdictions may affectthe Company’s estimate of its sales and use tax liability. Business Combinations—The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method. The cost of an acquired company isassigned to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed on the basis of their fair values at the date of acquisition. Thedetermination of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to make estimates and use valuation techniques when marketvalues are not readily available. Any excess of purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired is allocated to goodwill.Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred. The Company determines the fair value of contingent acquisitionconsideration payable on the acquisition date using a discounted cash flow approach utilizing an appropriate discount rate. Each reporting period thereafter,the Company revalues these obligations and records increases or decreases in their fair value as adjustments to fair market value adjustment on contingentconsideration in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Changes in the fair value of the contingent acquisition consideration payable canresult from adjustments to the estimated revenue forecasts included in the contingent payment calculations.Stock-Based Compensation—Compensation cost relating to stock-based awards made to employees and directors is recognized in the consolidatedfinancial statements using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model in the case of non-qualified stock option awards, and intrinsic value in the case ofrestricted stock awards. The Company measures the cost of such awards based on the estimated fair value of the award measured at the grant date andrecognizes the expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.Determining the fair value of stock options requires the Company to make several estimates, including the volatility of its stock price, the expectedlife of the option, forfeiture rate, dividend yield and interest rates. The Company estimates the expected life of its options using historical internal forfeituredata. The Company estimates stock-price volatility using historical third-party quotes of Envestnet’s common stock. The Company utilizes a risk-free interestrate, which is based on the yield of U.S. zero coupon securities with a maturity equal to the expected life of the options. The Company has not and does notexpect to pay dividends on its common shares.The Company is required to estimate expected forfeitures of stock-based awards at the grant date and recognize compensation cost only for thoseawards expected to vest. The forfeiture assumption is ultimately adjusted to the actual forfeiture rate. Therefore, changes in the forfeiture assumptions mayimpact the total amount of expense ultimately recognized over the vesting period. Estimated forfeitures will be reassessed in subsequent periods and maychange based on new facts and circumstances.Convertible Notes—On December 15, 2014, the Company issued $172,500 of 1.75% convertible notes due December 2019 (the “2019 Notes”). InMay 2018, the Company issued $345,000 of 1.75% convertible notes due June 2023 (the “2023 Notes”). Collectively the “Convertible Notes” are accountedfor in accordance with ASC 470-20. The Company has determined that the embedded conversion options in the Convertible Notes are not required to beseparately accounted for as a derivative under GAAP. The Company separately accounts for the liability and equity components of Convertible Notes thatcan be settled in cash by allocating the proceeds from issuance between the liability component and the embedded conversion option, or equity component,in accordance with accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (including partial cash settlement) upon conversion. The value ofthe equity component is calculated by first measuring the fair value of the liability component, using the interest rate of a similar liability that does not havea conversion feature, as of the issuance date. The difference between the proceeds from the convertible debt issuance and the amount measured as the liabilitycomponent is recorded as the equity component with a corresponding discount recorded on the debt. The Company recognizes the accretion of the resultingdiscount using the effective interest method as part of interest expense in its consolidated statements of operations.86Table of ContentsEnvestnet, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)Non-controlling Interest—Effective February 1, 2014, the Company formed ERS with various third parties. ERS offers advisory and technologyenabled services to financial advisors and retirement plans. In exchange for a 64.5% ownership interest in ERS, the Company contributed certain assets andhas agreed to fund a certain amount of the operating expenses of ERS. Primarily due to the issuance of units related to the contributions of FinaConnect, Inc.(“FinaConnect”) and Castle Rock Innovations, Inc. and the purchase of additional ERS units acquired from the former owners of Klein Decisions, Inc. theCompany’s ownership in ERS increased to 81.5% as of December 31, 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company purchased all remainingoutstanding units for approximately $6,560, which increased the Company’s ownership percentage to 100% as of December 31, 2018.The allocation of gains and losses to the members of ERS is based on a hypothetical liquidation book value method in accordance with the ERSoperating agreement. There were no losses for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, reflected as non-controlling interest in the consolidatedstatements of operations related to ERS. In March 2018, the Company purchased 4,000 units representing approximately 43% of the outstanding membership interests of a private companyfor cash consideration of $1,333 and granted the Company the ability to appoint two members to the private Company's board of directors. The appointmentof two board members gives the Company the majority of the board's voting power, therefore the Company uses the consolidation method of accounting forthis investment. The private company was formed to enable financial advisors to provide insurance and income protection products to their clients.Recent Accounting Pronouncements—In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which amends theexisting accounting standards for revenue recognition. This standard is effective for financial statements issued by public companies for annual and interimperiods beginning after December 15, 2017. These changes became effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018 and have beenreflected in these consolidated financial statements.In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.” This update amends the requirements for assets and liabilities recognized for all leaseslonger than twelve months. Lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability measured on a discounted basis, which is the lessee’s obligation to makelease payments arising from the lease, and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, aspecified asset for the lease term. This standard will be effective for financial statements issued by public companies for the annual and interim periodsbeginning after December 15, 2018 and will be applied using a modified retrospective approach with optional practical expedients. Early adoption of thestandard is permitted. The Company will adopt the new standard on its effective date of January 1, 2019 using the cumulative-effect adjustment transitionmethod with certain available transitional practical expedients. The Company has substantially completed the implementation of key changes to internalcontrols over financial reporting to allow it to timely compile the information needed to account for transactions under this new guidance.The standard will have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets and related disclosures but will not have a material impact on ourconsolidated income statements. The most significant impact will be the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases.The Company currently estimates adoption of ASU 2016-02 will result in the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases ofapproximately $66,000 and $84,000, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The difference between the ROU assets and lease liabilities primarily represents theexisting deferred rent liabilities, resulting from historical straight-lining of operating leases, which was reclassified upon adoption to reduce the measurementof the ROU assets.In March 2016, The FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. This update is intended to reducethe cost and complexity of accounting for share-based payments; however, some changes may also increase volatility in reported earnings. Under the newguidance, all excess tax benefits and deficiencies will be recorded as an income tax benefit or expense in the income statement and excess tax benefits will berecorded as an operating activity in the statements of cash flows. The new guidance also allows withholding up to the maximum individual statutory tax ratewithout classifying the awards as a liability. The cash paid to satisfy the statutory income tax withholding obligation will be classified as a financing activityin the statements of cash flows. Lastly, the update allows forfeitures to be estimated or recognized when they occur. The requirements for the excess taxeffects related to share-based payments at settlement must be applied on a prospective basis, and the other requirements under this standard are to be appliedon a retrospective basis. This standard will be effective for financial statements issued by public companies for annual and interim periods beginning afterDecember 15, 2016. These changes became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2017 and have been reflected in87Table of ContentsEnvestnet, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)these consolidated financial statements. As a result of the retrospective adoption of ASU 2016-09, for the year ended December 31, 2016 net cash providedby operating activities increased by $4,455 with a corresponding offset to net cash used in financing activities. The Company did not elect an accountingpolicy change to record forfeitures as they occur and will continue to estimate forfeitures at each period.In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326)".This update significantly changes the way that entities will be required to measure credit losses. The new standard requires that entities estimate credit lossesbased upon an "expected credit loss" approach rather than the "incurred loss" approach, which is currently used. The new approach will require entities tomeasure all expected credit losses for financial assets based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable forecasts of collectability. Thechange in approach is anticipated to impact the timing of recognition of credit losses. This ASU will become effective for beginning January 1, 2020. Earlyadoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on ourconsolidated financial statements.In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and CashPayments,” which clarifies eight specific cash flow issues in an effort to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified within thestatement of cash flows. This standard is effective for financial statements issued by public companies for annual and interim periods beginning afterDecember 15, 2017. These changes became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018 and have been reflected in these consolidatedfinancial statements. Retrospective adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not have a material impact on the Company’s presentation of the consolidated statementsof cash flowsIn November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) – Restricted Cash,” which amends ASC 230 to provideclarifying guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. Additional disclosure is required to reconcilebetween the statement of financial position and the statement of cash flows when the statement of financial position includes more than one line item forcash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents. This standard is effective for financial statements issued by public companies forannual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. These changes became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018 andincluded $326 and $2,148 of restricted cash in the total of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2018and 2017, respectively. A reconciliation of restricted cash for each period is included within this footnote.In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business (Topic 805),” which provides anew framework for determining whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. This standard is effectivefor financial statements issued by public companies for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. These changes became effective forthe Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018 and did not have a material impact to these consolidated financial statements. This standard will beapplied to all future business acquisition and disposal transactions.In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350),” which removes step two from the goodwillimpairment test. As a result, an entity should perform its annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carryingamount and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting units’ fair value. This standard willbe effective for financial statements issued by public companies for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption ispermitted. The Company has adopted this standard as of April 1, 2017, however it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financialstatements.In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.” This updateclarifies which changes to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. Specifically, anentity would not apply modification account if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification as an equity or liability instrument are the same beforeand after the modification. This standard is effective for financial statements issued by public companies for annual and interim periods beginning afterDecember 15, 2017. These changes became effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. This standard will be applied to all futuremodifications of share-based payment awards.88Table of ContentsEnvestnet, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-BasedPayment Accounting.” This update clarifies the accounting for share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees.Specifically, the update aligns the accounting for payments to non-employees to match the accounting for payments to employees, no longer accounting forthese transactions differently. This standard is effective for financial statements issued by public companies for annual and interim periods beginning afterDecember 15, 2018. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. This standard will be applied to all future non-employee share-based payments.In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the DisclosureRequirements for Fair Value Measurement.” This update aims to improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements on fair value measurement as part of thedisclosure framework project. This standard is effective for financial statements issued by public companies for annual and interim periods beginning afterDecember 15, 2019. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on ourconsolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’sAccounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging IssuesTask Force).” This update is intended to guide entities in evaluating the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement byproviding guidance for determining when the arrangement includes a software license. This standard is effective for financial statements issued by publiccompanies for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. The Company has elected to earlyadopt this standard beginning January 1, 2019. 3.Business Acquisitions The following acquisitions are included within the Envestnet segment, except for Wheelhouse Analytics LLC (“Wheelhouse”) and the privatecompany, which are included within the Envestnet | Yodlee segment.

The increase in unbilled receivables is primarily driven by revenue recognized in excess of billings related to asset-based services during the yearended December 31, 2018.The increase in deferred revenue is primarily the result of an increase in deferred revenue related to subscription-based services during the yearended December 31, 2018, most of which will be recognized over the course of the next twelve months.The amount of revenue recognized that was included in the opening deferred revenue balance was $18,620 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The majority of this revenue consists of subscription-based revenue and professional services arrangements. The amount of revenue recognized fromperformance obligations satisfied in prior periods was not material.Deferred sales incentive compensationDeferred sales incentive compensation was $7,014 as of December 31, 2018. Amortization expense for the deferred sales incentive compensationwas $2,132 for the year ended December 31, 2018.

The Convertible Notes due2019 bear interest at a rate of 1.75% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2015. In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes due 2019, the Company incurred $4,651 of issuance costs in 2014, which are presented netin current debt on the consolidated balance sheets. These costs are being amortized and are recorded as additional interest expense over the life of theConvertible Notes due 2019. The Convertible Notes due 2019 are general unsecured obligations, subordinated in right of payment to our obligations under our CreditAgreement. The Convertible Notes due 2019 rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness and will besenior in right of payment to any of the Company’s future subordinated indebtedness.

The Convertible Notes due 2019 are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock under certain circumstances prior to maturity at aconversion rate of 15.9022 shares per one thousand principal amount of the Convertible Notes due 2019, which represents a conversion price of $62.88 pershare, subject to adjustment under certain conditions. Holders may convert their Convertible Notes due 2019 at their option at any time prior to the close ofbusiness on the business day immediately preceding July 1, 2019, only under the following circumstances: (a) during any calendar quarter commencing afterthe calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2015 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock, for at least 20trading days (whether or not consecutive) in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the calendar quarter immediatelypreceding the calendar quarter in which the conversion occurs, is more than 130% of the conversion price of the Convertible Notes due 2019 in effect oneach applicable trading day; (b) during the five consecutive business-day period following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the tradingprice per one thousand principal amount of the Convertible Notes due 2019 for each such trading day was less than 98% of the last reported sale price of ourcommon stock on such date multiplied by the then-current conversion rate; or (c) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as defined in theindenture. Upon conversion, the Company may pay cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and stock, as determined by theCompany in its discretion. The Company’s stated policy is to settle the debt component of the Convertible Notes due 2019 at least partially or wholly incash. This policy is based both on the Company’s intent and the Company’s ability to settle these instruments in cash. The Company has separately accounted for the liability and equity components of the Convertible Notes due 2019 by allocating the proceeds fromissuance of the Convertible Notes due 2019 between the liability component and the embedded conversion option, or equity component.

Credit Agreement In 2014, Envestnet and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement with a group of banks (the “Banks”), for which Bank of Montreal isacting as administrative agent, pursuant to which the Banks agreed to provide an unsecured revolving credit facility of $70,000 with a sublimit for theissuance of letters of credit of $5,000. Since then the agreement has been amended several times and was last amended and restated in July 2017. On July 18, 2017, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “SecondAmended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with the Banks, for which Bank of Montreal acted as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”). TheSecond Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of November 19, 2015, asamended, among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent (the “Prior CreditFacility”). Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Banks agreed to provide to the Company revolving credit commitments (the“Revolving Credit Facility”) in the aggregate amount of up to $350,000 which amount may be increased by $50,000. The Second Amended and RestatedCredit Agreement also includes a $5,000 subfacility for the issuance of letters of credit. Obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of Envestnet’s U.S. subsidiaries,including Yodlee. In accordance with the terms of the Security Agreement, dated November 19, 2015 (the “Security Agreement”), among the Company, theDebtors party thereto, the Banks and the Administrative Agent, obligations under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are secured bysubstantially all of the Company’s domestic assets and the Company’s pledge of 66% of the voting equity and 100% of the non-voting equity of certain ofits first-tier foreign subsidiaries. In addition to funding a portion of the cash consideration paid by the Company in connection with the acquisition ofYodlee, proceeds under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may be used to finance capital expenditures, working capital, permittedacquisitions and for general corporate purposes. The Company will pay interest on borrowings made under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement at rates between 1.50% and 3.25%above LIBOR based on the Company’s total leverage ratio. Borrowings under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are scheduled to matureon July 18, 2022. There is also a commitment fee equal to 0.25% per annum on the daily unused portion of the facility. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary conditions, representations and warranties, affirmative and negativecovenants, mandatory prepayment provisions and events of default. The covenants include certain financial covenants requiring Envestnet to maintaincompliance with a maximum senior leverage ratio, a maximum total leverage ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio and minimum adjusted EBITDA, andprovisions that limit the ability of Envestnet and its subsidiaries to incur debt, make investments, sell assets, create liens, engage in transactions withaffiliates, engage in mergers and acquisitions, pay dividends and other restricted payments, grant negative pledges and change their business activities.On May 24, 2018, Envestnet Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a first amendment to the Second Amended and Restated CreditAgreement (the "Credit Agreement Amendment"). The Credit Agreement Amendment made certain technical changes to the calculations of various covenantscontained in the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2018, there were no revolving credit amounts outstanding under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The July18, 2017 amendment replaced the Term Notes and related excess cash flow payment obligations, which were issued in relation to a previous amendment, witha revolving line of credit. As of December 31, 2018, the debt issuance costs related to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the PriorCredit Facility are presented in prepaid expenses and other non-current assets which have outstanding amounts of $855 and $2,251, respectively. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement includes certain financial covenants and, as of December 31, 2018, the Company was incompliance with these requirements. 104Table of ContentsEnvestnet, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)13.Other Non-Current Liabilities Other non-current liabilities consist of the following: December 31, 2018 2017Uncertain tax positions $10,394 $10,640Deferred compensation liability 6,196 4,364Other 1,415 98Total $18,005$15,102 14.Fair Value Measurements The Company follows ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments, which provides companies the option to report selected financial assets and liabilities atfair value. ASC 825-10 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose differentmeasurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities and to more easily understand the effect of the Company’s choice to use fair value on itsearnings. ASC 825-10 also requires entities to display the fair value of the selected assets and liabilities on the face of the balance sheet. The Company hasnot elected the ASC 825-10 option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy establishedby GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into the following levels: Level I: Inputs based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Level II: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in marketsthat are not active; or inputs that are observable and can be corroborated by observable market data. Level III: Inputs reflect management’s best estimates and assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability atthe measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation of the instruments. Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following tables set forth the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated balancesheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, based on the three-tier fair value hierarchy: December 31, 2018 Fair Value Level I Level II Level IIIAssets Money market funds and other(1) $265,554 $265,554 $— $—Assets to fund deferred compensation liability(2) 6,346 — — 6,346Total assets $271,900$265,554 $— $6,346Liabilities Contingent consideration $732 $— $— $732Deferred compensation liability(3) 6,196 6,196 — —Total liabilities $6,928 $6,196 $— $732 105Table of ContentsEnvestnet, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)(in thousands, except share and per share amounts) December 31, 2017 Fair Value Level I Level II Level IIIAssets: Money market funds (1) $39,400 $39,400 $— $—Assets to fund deferred compensation liability(2) 5,185 — — 5,185Total assets $44,585 $39,400 $— $5,185Liabilities: Contingent consideration $2,781 $— $— $2,781Deferred compensation liability(3) 4,364 4,364 — —Total liabilities $7,145 $4,364$—$2,781(1)The fair values of the Company’s investments in money-market funds are based on the daily quoted market prices for the net asset value of thevarious money market funds and time deposit accounts which mature on a daily basis.(2)The deferred compensation asset fair value is based upon the cash surrender value of the life insurance premiums. The Company recognizedimmaterial losses related to this asset within the statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018, and immaterial gains related to thisasset within the statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017.(3)The deferred compensation liability is included in other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and its fair market value is basedon the daily quoted market prices for the net asset value of the various funds in which the participants have selected. The Company recognizedimmaterial gains related to this liability within the statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.Level I assets and liabilities include money-market funds not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), deferred compensationliability, and the revolving credit facility. The Company periodically invests excess cash in money-market funds not insured by the FDIC. The Companybelieves that the investments in money market funds are on deposit with creditworthy financial institutions and that the funds are highly liquid. Thesemoney-market funds are considered Level 1 and are included in cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the deferredcompensation liability is based upon the daily quoted market prices for net asset value on the various funds selected by participants. Time deposit accountfair values are determined by trade confirmations which mature daily and therefore are considered highly liquid investments. The outstanding balance on therevolving credit facility approximated fair value as the revolving credit facility bore interest at variable rates and we believe our credit risk quality wasconsistent with when the debt originated.Level III liabilities consist of the estimated fair value of contingent consideration as well as the deferred compensation asset. The fair market value ofthe deferred compensation asset is based upon the cash surrender value of the life insurance premiums.The fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities related to the FinaConnect and Wheelhouse acquisitions were estimated using a discountedcash flow method with significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a Level III fair value measurement as definedin ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The significant inputs in the Level III measurement not supported by market activity included ourassessments of expected future cash flows related to our acquisitions of FinaConnect and Wheelhouse during the subsequent periods from the date ofacquisition, appropriately discounted considering the uncertainties associated with the obligation, and calculated in accordance with the terms of theagreement.The Company utilized a discounted cash flow method with expected future performance of FinaConnect and Wheelhouse, and their ability to meetthe target performance objectives as the main driver of the valuation, to arrive at the fair values of their respective contingent consideration. The Companywill continue to reassess the fair value of the contingent consideration for the Wheelhouse acquisition at each reporting date until settlement. During 2017,the FinaConnect contingent consideration liability was settled in the amount of $2,286. During 2018, Company paid Wheelhouse contingent considerationin the amount of $2,193. Changes to the estimated fair values of the contingent consideration will be recognized in earnings of the Company and included ingeneral and administration on the consolidated statements of operations. 106Table of ContentsEnvestnet, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)The table below presents a reconciliation of the assets to fund deferred compensation liability of which the Company measured at fair value on arecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level III) for the period from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2018: Fair Value of Assets to Fund Deferred Compensation LiabilityBalance at December 31, 2017$5,185Contributions and fair value adjustments1,161Balance at December 31, 2018$6,346 The asset value increased due to funding of the plan partially offset by immaterial losses on the underlying investment vehicles, which resulted in anasset value of $6,346 as of December 31, 2018, which is included in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.The table below presents a reconciliation of contingent consideration liabilities of which the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basisusing significant unobservable inputs (Level III) for the period from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2018: Fair Value of Contingent Consideration LiabilitiesBalance at December 31, 2017$2,781Payment of contingent consideration liability(2,193)Accretion on contingent consideration144Balance at December 31, 2018$732 The Company assesses categorization of assets and liabilities by level at each measurement date, and transfers between levels are recognized on theactual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer, in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy regarding the recognitionof transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between Levels I, II and III during the year ended December 31, 2018. On December 15, 2014, the Company issued $172,500 of Convertible Notes due 2019. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the carrying value of theConvertible Notes due 2019 equaled $165,711 and $158,990, respectively, and represented the aggregate principal amount outstanding less the unamortizeddiscount and debt issuance costs. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the estimated fair value of the Convertible Notes due 2019 was $174,101 and$180,180, respectively. The Company considered the Convertible Notes due 2019 to be a Level II liability as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and used amarket approach to calculate the fair value. The estimated fair value was determined based on the estimated or actual bids and offers of the Convertible Notesdue 2019 in an over-the-counter market on or near December 31, 2018 (see “Note 12 – Debt”). On May 25, 2018, the Company issued $345,000 of Convertible Notes due 2023. As of December 31, 2018, the carrying value of the ConvertibleNotes due 2023 equaled $294,725, and represented the aggregate principal amount outstanding less the unamortized discount and debt issuance costs. As ofDecember 31, 2018, the estimated fair value of the Convertible Notes due 2023 was $339,024. The Company considered the Convertible Notes due 2023 tobe a Level II liability as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and used a market approach to calculate the fair value. The estimated fair value was determinedbased on the estimated or actual bids and offers of the Convertible Notes due 2023 in an over-the-counter market on or near December 31, 2018 (see “Note 12– Debt”). As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, there was $0 and $81,168, respectively, outstanding on the revolving credit facility under the Second Amendedand Restated Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2017, the outstanding balance on our107Table of ContentsEnvestnet, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)revolving credit facility approximated fair value as the revolving credit facility bore interest at variable rates and we believed our credit risk quality wasconsistent with when the debt originated. The Company considered the revolving credit facility to be a Level I liability as of December 31, 2018 and 2017(see “Note 12 – Debt”). We consider the recorded value of our other financial assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivableand accounts payable, to approximate the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities at December 31, 2018 based upon the short-term nature of theassets and liabilities. 15.Income Taxes Income (loss) before income tax provision (benefit) was generated in the following jurisdictions: Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016Domestic $(18,242) $(9,387) $(47,059)Foreign 9,080 7,698 6,569Total $(9,162) $(1,689) $(40,490) The components of the income tax provision (benefit) charged to operations are summarized as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016Current: Federal 4,564 $(1,201) $3,812State 1,044 951 1,172Foreign 4,849 6,438 4,509 10,457 6,188 9,493 Deferred: Federal (19,444) (4,439) 5,992State (3,182) 146 117Foreign (1,003) (304) (525) (23,629) (4,597) 5,584 Total $(13,172) $1,591 $15,077 108Table of ContentsEnvestnet, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)Net deferred tax assets (liabilities) consist of the following: December 31, 2018 2017Deferred revenue $5,642 $5,723Prepaid expenses and accruals 3,302 1,459Deferred rent and lease incentives 4,255 3,419Net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards 78,689 66,896Property and equipment and intangible assets (73,778) (51,182)Stock-based compensation expense 7,667 6,894Convertible Notes (11,918) (2,886)Other 1,032 1,221Total deferred tax assets 14,891 31,544Less: valuation allowance (15,531) (32,513)Net deferred tax liabilities $(640) $(969) On December 22, 2017 the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the Act”) was signed into United States law. The Act significantly changes U.S. income tax lawand is the first major overhaul of the federal income tax code in more than 30 years. Key provisions of the Act that may impact the Company include: (i)reduction of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, (ii) repeal of the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”) system, (iii)replacement of the worldwide taxation system with a territorial tax system which exempts certain foreign operations from U.S. taxation but also taxes certainforeign income under a new regime, called Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI"), (iv) further limitation on the deductibility of certain executivecompensation, (v) modification of earnings calculations for certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred to a one-time tax, (vi) creation of anew base erosion anti-abuse tax (Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax, or "BEAT"), (vii) allowance for immediate capital expensing of certain qualified property,(viii) limitation on the deduction for net interest expense incurred by a U.S. corporation, and (ix) modification and/or repeal of a number of otherinternational provisions. Due to the complexities involved in accounting for the enactment of the Tax Reform, SAB 118 allowed us to record provisional amounts in earningsfor the year ended December 31, 2017. In 2017 and the first nine months of 2018, we recorded provisional amounts for certain enactment-date effects of theAct by applying the guidance in SAB 118 because we had not yet completed our enactment-date accounting for these effects. SAB 118 provides that wherereasonable estimates can be made, the provisional accounting should be based on such estimates and when no reasonable estimate can be made, theprovisional accounting may be based on the tax law in effect before the Tax Reform. SAB 118 allowed a measurement period of up to one year from theenactment date to identify Tax Reform impacts. As of the period ended December 31, 2018, we completed our analysis of the Tax Reform on ourconsolidated financial statements and recorded additional tax expense of $814 primarily related to the one-time tax on deferred foreign earnings in the taxprovision. Our accounting for the final income tax effects of the Tax Reform has been finalized and the measurement period under SAB 118 ended during theperiod ended December 31, 2018. Despite the completion of our accounting for the Tax Reform under SAB 118, many aspects of the law remain unclear andwe expect ongoing guidance to be issued at both the federal and state levels. We will continue to monitor and assess the impact of any new developments.Related to the Act's new provision on GILTI, under GAAP, the Company is allowed to make an accounting policy choice to either (i) treat taxes dueon future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the "period cost method"); or (ii) factor in suchamounts into the measurement of our deferred taxes (the "deferred method"). The selection of an accounting policy related to the GILTI tax provisionsdepends, in part, on analyzing our global income to determine whether the Company expects to have future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related toGILTI and, if so, what the impact is expected to be. While the future global operations depend on a number of different factors, the Company does expect tohave future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI. Further, the Company has made a policy decision to record GILTI tax as a current-periodexpense when incurred. In addition, the BEAT provision has an impact on the Company in the current year. In accordance with FASB guidance, the incremental effect ofBEAT is recognized in the year the BEAT is incurred and also there is no need to evaluate109Table of ContentsEnvestnet, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)the effect of potentially paying the BEAT in future years. The current year estimated BEAT liability and therefore impact to the Company's tax expense is$3,760.The valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $15,531 and $32,513, respectively. The change in thevaluation allowance from 2017 to 2018 was primarily related to the acquisition of Folio and the Company's convertible debt incurred in 2018 in addition tothe current year movement related to the amortization of book intangible assets. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considerswhether it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use theexisting deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence is the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended December 31,2018. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence such as our projections for future growth. On the basis of this evaluation, as of December 31, 2018, a valuation allowance of $15,531 has been recorded to record only the portion of thedeferred tax asset that is more likely than not to be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted ifestimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced or increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative lossesis no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence such as our projections for growth.Prior to December 31, 2017, the Company did not claim permanent reinvestment of our accumulated foreign earnings, and recorded taxes on theseearnings. The amount of this estimated liability at December 31, 2016 was approximately $4,500. As of December 31, 2017, the Company changed ourposition on this matter and claimed permanent reinvestment on accumulated earnings of approximately $20,600. As of December 31, 2018, the Company hasclaimed permanent reinvestment on accumulated earnings of approximately $33,000. Post Tax Reform, the primary deferred tax liability that is not beingrecorded by the Company relates to India withholding tax. The reinvested foreign earnings of the Company will be used to fund future foreign acquisitions,capital expenditures, headcount expansion and other operating expenses. As these earnings will be permanently reinvested in the foreign jurisdictions,deferred taxes were not recorded. The expected tax provision (benefit) calculated at the statutory federal rate differs from the actual provision as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016Tax provision (benefit), at U.S. federal statutory tax rate $(1,559) $(573) $(13,767) State income tax provision (benefit), net of federal benefit (1,714) (1,251) (2,053)Effect of stock-based compensation excess tax benefit (7,782) (11,522) —Effect of permanent items 2,967 1,145 1,773Change in valuation allowance (4,244) 2,151 26,269Effect of change in federal income tax rate — 13,792 —Effect of change in state and foreign income tax rates (269) 537 279Uncertain tax positions (2,062) 3,668 2,024BEAT liability 3,760 — —Research and development credits (4,770) (2,815) (2,758)Change in permanent reinvestment assertion — (4,494) —State net operating loss adjustment, net of valuation allowance impact — 836 —Other 2,501 117 3,310Income tax provision $(13,172) $1,591 $15,077 At December 31, 2018, the Company had NOL carryforwards, before any uncertain tax position reserves, for federal income tax purposes ofapproximately $267,000 which are available to offset future federal taxable income, if any, and expire through 2038. In addition, as of December 31, 2018,the Company had NOL carryforwards for state income tax purposes of110Table of ContentsEnvestnet, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)approximately $153,000 available to reduce future income subject to income taxes. The state NOL carryforwards expire through 2038. In addition, at December 31, 2018, the Company had AMT credit carryforwards of approximately $1,455 for Federal purposes. As a result of taxreform, AMT credits are refundable for any taxable year beginning after 2017 and before 2022 in an amount equal to 50% (100% in the case of taxable yearsbeginning in 2021) of the excess of the minimum tax credit for the taxable year over the amount of the credit allowable for the year against regular taxliability. Thus, the minimum tax credit was reclassified from a deferred tax asset to an income tax receivable. The Company also had AMT credits of $19 forCalifornia, which are available to reduce future California income taxes, if any, over an indefinite period. In addition, the Company had research anddevelopment credit carryforwards of approximately $15,259 for federal and $9,452 for California and Illinois, as well as foreign tax credits of $1,401available to offset federal income tax. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefit is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016Unrecognized tax benefits balance at beginning of year $18,312 $16,476 $14,129Additions based on tax positions related to the current year 1,907 1,691 1,153Additions based on tax positions related to prior years (3,976) 145 1,257Reductions for settlements with taxing authorities related to prior years (615) — —Reductions for lapses of statute of limitations — — (63)Unrecognized tax benefits balance at end of year $15,628 $18,312 $16,476 At December 31, 2018, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would benefit the Company’s effective tax rate, if recognized, was $15,628.The Company estimates it is reasonably possible that there will not be a material change to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelvemonths. The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. For the years endedDecember 31, 2018 and 2017, income tax expense included $126 and $1,690, respectively, of potential interest and penalties related to unrecognized taxbenefits. The Company had accrued interest and penalties of $5,977 and $6,018 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return and separate tax returns with various states. Additionally, foreign subsidiaries of theCompany file tax returns in foreign jurisdictions. The Company was notified by the Internal Revenue Service as of December 18, 2017 that the calendar year2015 and 2016 federal income tax returns have been have been selected for audit by the Internal Revenue Service. As of the date of this report, no additionaltaxes had been assessed, as the audit has not yet concluded. The Company’s tax returns for the calendar years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service in their entirety. With respect to state taxing jurisdictions, the Company’s tax returns forcalendar years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, 2015, and 2014 remain open to examination by various state revenue services. Our Indian subsidiaries are currently under examination by the India Tax Authority for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005, 2008, 2011, 2012,2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017. Based on the outcome of examinations of our subsidiary or the result of the expiration of statutes of limitations it isreasonably possible that the related unrecognized tax benefits could change from those recorded in the consolidated balance sheet. It is possible that one ormore of these audits may be finalized within the next twelve months. 16.Stockholders’ Equity On February 25, 2016, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a share repurchase program under which the Companymay repurchase up to 2,000,000 shares of its common stock. The timing and volume of share repurchases will be determined by the Company’s managementbased on its ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, the market price of its common stock and general market conditions. No time limit hasbeen set for the completion of the repurchase program, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The repurchase program authorizesthe111Table of ContentsEnvestnet, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)Company to purchase its common stock from time to time in the open market (including pursuant to a “Rule 10b5-1 plan”), in block transactions, inprivately negotiated transactions, through accelerated stock repurchase programs, through option or other forward transactions or otherwise, all incompliance with applicable laws and other restrictions. For each of the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company purchased no shares of theCompany’s common stock. As of both December 31, 2018 and 2017, a maximum of 1,956,390 shares may yet be purchased under this program.On December 20, 2018, the Company issued and sold to BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”) approximately 2,356,000 common shares at a purchaseprice of $52.13 per share, and warrants to purchase approximately 470,000 common shares at an exercise price of $65.16 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The warrants are exercisable at BlackRock’s option for four years from the date of issuance. The warrants may be exercisable throughcash exercise or net issue exercise with cash settlement at the sole discretion of the Company. The gross proceeds received of approximately $122,788 wereallocated to the common shares and the warrants and recorded within stockholders’ equity. In connection with this transaction, the Company incurred totaltransaction costs of approximately $4,627 and recorded them as a reduction in equity. 17.Stock-Based Compensation On December 31, 2004, the Company adopted a stock incentive plan (the “2004 Plan”). The 2004 Plan provided for the grant of options toemployees, consultants, and non-employee directors to purchase common stock, which vest over time and have a ten-year contractual term. To satisfy optionsgranted under the 2004 Plan, the Company made common stock available from authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, if any, by theCompany. Stock options granted under the 2004 Plan were non-stock options, as defined in the 2004 Plan agreement. Stock options were granted with anexercise price no less than the fair-market-value price of the common stock at the date of the grant. The 2004 Plan has a change in control provision whereby if a change in control occurs and the participant’s awards are not equitably adjusted, suchawards shall become fully vested and exercisable and all forfeiture restrictions on such awards shall lapse. Based on the terms of the 2004 Plan, theCompany’s initial public offering in 2010 did not trigger the change in control provision and did not result in any modifications to the outstanding equityawards under the 2004 Plan. On June 22, 2010, the Board of Directors approved the 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2010 Plan”), effective upon the closing of the Company’sinitial public offering. The 2010 Plan provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, Full Value Awards (as defined in the 2010 Plan) and cashincentive awards to employees, consultants and non-employee directors to purchase common stock, which vest over time and have a ten-year contractualterm. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be delivered under the 2010 Plan is equal to the sum of 2,700,000 plus the number of sharesof common stock that are subject to outstanding awards under the 2004 Plan which are forfeited, expire or are canceled after the effective date of theCompany’s initial public offering. Stock options and stock appreciation rights are granted with an exercise price no less than the fair-market-value price ofthe common stock at the date of the grant. On May 13, 2015 and July 13, 2017, the shareholders approved the 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan as Amended.The amendments increased the number of common shares of the Company reserved for delivery under the 2010 Plan by 2,700,000 shares and 3,525,000shares, respectively. As a result of the merger between Envestnet and Tamarac, the Company adopted the Envestnet, Inc. Management Incentive Plan for Envestnet |Tamarac Management Employees (the “2012 Plan”). The 2012 Plan provides for the grant of restricted common stock, stock options and the purchase ofcommon stock for certain Envestnet | Tamarac employees. The maximum number of shares of stock which may be issued with respect to awards under the2012 Plan is 1,023,851. The 2012 Plan provides for the grant of up to 559,551 shares of common stock (“Target Incentive Awards”). The Target Incentive Awards vest basedupon Tamarac meeting certain performance conditions and then a subsequent two-year service condition. The Company measured the cost of these awardsbased on the estimated fair value of the award as of the market closing price on the day before the acquisition closed. The Company is recognizing theestimated expense on a graded-vesting method over a requisite service period of three to five years, which is the estimated vesting period. The Companyestimates the expected vesting amount and recognizes compensation expense only for those awards expected to vest. This estimate is reassessed bymanagement each reporting period and may change based upon new facts and circumstances. Changes in the assumptions impact the total amount of expenseand are recognized over the vesting period. As of December 31, 2017, all 559,551 shares of restricted stock had vested.As a result of the merger between Envestnet and Yodlee, the Company adopted the Envestnet, Inc. 2015 Acquisition Equity Award Plan (the “2015Plan”). The 2015 Plan provides for the assumption of all unvested equity awards previously112Table of ContentsEnvestnet, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)granted pursuant to the Yodlee employees and the conversion of such awards into equity awards of the Company pursuant to the 2015 Plan. No new awardsare being made under the 2015 Plan. The maximum number of shares of stock which may be issued with respect to awards under the 2015 Plan is 1,058,807. As of December 31, 2018, the maximum number of options and restricted stock available for future issuance under the Company’s plans is3,078,360. Employee stock-based compensation expense was as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016Stock-based compensation expense $40,245 $31,331 $33,276Tax effect on stock-based compensation expense (10,093) (11,906) (13,001)Net effect on income $30,152 $19,425 $20,275 The tax effect on stock-based compensation expense above was calculated using a blended statutory rate of 25.1%, 38.0%, and 39.1% for the yearsended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. However, due to the valuation allowance recorded on domestic deferreds, there was no tax effectrelated to stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.Stock Options The following weighted average assumptions were used to value options granted during the periods indicated: December 31, 2018 2017 2016Grant date fair value of options $— $14.51 $9.56Volatility — 43.8% 42.2%Risk-free interest rate — 2.1% 1.4%Dividend yield — — —Expected term (in years) — 6.3 6.3 113Table of ContentsEnvestnet, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)The following table summarizes option activity under the Company’s plans: Weighted-Average Weighted- Remaining Average Contractual Life Aggregate Options Exercise Price (Years) Intrinsic ValueOutstanding as of December 31, 2015 3,533,791 $15.03 4.7 $61,199Granted 163,864 22.38 Exercised (598,382) 8.23 Forfeited (66,079) 35.08 Outstanding as of December 31, 2016 3,033,194 16.33 4.3 63,264Granted 75,238 31.70 Exercised (837,857) 9.49 Forfeited (16,010) 37.42 Outstanding as of December 31, 2017 2,254,565 19.23 4.3 69,939Granted — — Exercised (359,345) 14.76 Forfeited (7,251) 27.51 Outstanding as of December 31, 2018 1,887,969 20.05 3.4 56,046Options exercisable 1,830,082 19.78 3.3 54,837 The aggregate intrinsic values in the table below represent the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the aggregate difference between the fair value of theCompany’s common stock on December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 of $49.19, $49.85 and $35.25, respectively, and the exercise price of in-the-moneyoptions) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date.

In connection with the Yodlee merger, on November 19, 2015, the Company issued 1,052,000 shares of Envestnet restricted stock unit awards(“replacement awards”) issued in connection with unvested Yodlee employee equity awards. The Yodlee unvested stock options and unvested restrictedstock units were canceled and exchanged for the replacement awards. In accordance with ASC 805, these awards are considered to be replacement awards.Exchanges of share options or other share-based payment awards in conjunction with a business combination are modifications of share-based paymentawards in accordance with ASC Topic 718. As a result, a portion of the fair-value-based measure of the replacement awards, are included in measuring theconsideration transferred in the Yodlee business combination. To determine the portion of the replacement award that is part of consideration transferred toacquire Yodlee, we have measured both the replacement awards granted by Envestnet and the historical Yodlee awards as of November 19, 2015 inaccordance with ASC 718. The portion of the fair-value-based measure of the replacement award that is part of the consideration transferred in exchange forthe acquisition of Yodlee, equals the portion of the Yodlee award that is attributable to pre-combination service. Envestnet has attributed a portion of thereplacement awards to post combination service as these awards require post combination service. The fair value of the rollover consideration was estimatedto be $32,836 of which $4,318 was attributable to pre-acquisition services. The remaining fair value of $28,518 is amortizing over the 43 month vestingperiod subsequent to the acquisition date. As of December 31, 2018, the remaining amount of unrecognized expense totaled $767.The Company entered into employment agreements with certain executive officers, three of whom received a total of 205,000 performance-basedrestricted stock unit awards in May 2016 which vest upon the achievement of certain “Target Performance Measures” as defined in the employmentagreements, and four of whom also received a total of 125,000 restricted stock units awards in August 2016 which vest quarterly thereafter. The TargetPerformance Measures for the Performance Periods, as defined in the employment agreements, were achieved as of December 31, 2016 and these shares willfully vest in May 2019.115Table of ContentsEnvestnet, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)During March 2018 and July 2018, the Company granted approximately 26,000 and 30,000 performance-based restricted stock unit awards tocertain employees, respectively. These performance-based restricted unit awards vest upon the achievement of certain pre-established business and financialmetrics as well as service condition. The business and financial metrics governing the vesting of these performance-based restricted stock unit awards providethresholds which dictate the number of shares to vest upon each evaluation date, which range from 50% to 150%. If these metrics are achieved, as defined inthe individual grant terms, these shares would cliff vest three years from the grant date. 18.Net Income (Loss) Per Share Basic net income or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted averagenumber of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. For the calculation of diluted earnings per share, the basic weighted average number of sharesis increased by the dilutive effect of stock options, common warrants, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and Convertible Notes using the treasurystock method, if dilutive. The Company accounts for the effect of the Convertible Notes on diluted net income per share using the treasury stock method since they may besettled in cash, shares or a combination thereof at the Company’s option. As a result, the Convertible Notes have no effect on diluted net loss per share untilthe Company’s stock price exceeds the conversion price of $62.88 and $68.31 per share, respectively, or if the trading price of the Convertible Notes meetscertain criteria as described in “Note 12 – Debt.” In the period of conversion, the Convertible Notes will have no impact on diluted earnings per share if theConvertible Notes are settled in cash and will have an impact on basic and diluted earnings per share if the Convertible Notes are settled in shares uponconversion. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in computing basic and diluted net income (loss) per shareattributable to common stockholders: Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016Basic income (loss) per share calculation: Net income (loss) attributable to Envestnet, Inc. $5,755 $(3,280) $(55,567) Basic number of weighted-average shares outstanding 45,268,002 43,732,148 42,814,222Basic $0.13 $(0.08) $(1.30) Diluted income (loss) per share calculation: Net income (loss) attributable to Envestnet, Inc. $5,755 $(3,280) $(55,567) Basic number of weighted-average shares outstanding 45,268,002 43,732,148 42,814,222Effect of dilutive shares: Options to purchase common stock 1,304,493 — —Unvested restricted stock units 811,590 — —Diluted number of weighted-average shares outstanding 47,384,085 43,732,148 42,814,222Diluted $0.12 $(0.08) $(1.30) 116Table of ContentsEnvestnet, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)Securities that were anti-dilutive and therefore excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share are as follows: December 31, 2018 2017 2016Options to purchase common stock — 2,254,565 3,033,194Unvested restricted stock awards and units — 1,766,639 1,894,759Warrants - private placement 470,000 — —Convertible Notes 7,793,826 2,743,321 2,743,321Total 8,263,826 6,764,525 7,671,274 19.Commitments and Contingencies Leases The Company rents office space under leases that expire at various dates through 2030. Future annual minimum lease commitments under operating leases were as follows: Years ending December 31: 2019$15,997202015,437202114,705202210,81620239,910Thereafter39,449Total$106,314 Rent expense for all operating leases totaled: Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016Rent expense $19,658 $18,084 $14,984 Purchase Obligations and Indemnifications The Company includes various types of indemnification and guarantee clauses in certain arrangements. These indemnifications and guarantees mayinclude, but are not limited to, infringement claims related to intellectual property, direct or consequential damages and guarantees to certain serviceproviders and service level requirements with certain customers. The type and amount of any potential indemnification or guarantee varies substantiallybased on the nature of each arrangement. The Company has experienced no previous claims and cannot determine the maximum amount of potential futurepayments, if any, related to such indemnification and guarantee provisions. The Company believes that it is unlikely it will have to make material paymentsunder these arrangements and therefore has not recorded a contingent liability in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company enters into unconditional purchase obligations arrangements for certain of its services that it receives in the normal course ofbusiness. As of December 31, 2018, the Company estimated future minimum unconditional purchase obligations of $41,112. 117Table of ContentsEnvestnet, Inc.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)(in thousands, except share and per share amounts)Legal Proceedings The Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. Legal fees and other costs associated with such actionsare expensed as incurred. The Company will record a provision for these claims when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount ofthe loss, or a range of the potential loss, can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed regularly and adjusted to reflect the impacts ofnegotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information or events pertaining to a particular case. Legal proceedings accruals arerecorded when and if it is determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. For litigation matters where a loss may be reasonably possible,but not probable, or is probable but not reasonably estimable, no accrual is established, but if the matter is material, it is subject to disclosures. The Companybelieves that liabilities associated with any claims, while possible, are not probable, and therefore has not recorded any accrual for any claims as ofDecember 31, 2018. Further, while any possible range of loss cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, the Company does not believe that the outcome ofany of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, would, if determined adversely to it, have a material adverse effect on its financial condition orbusiness, although an adverse resolution of legal proceedings could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flow in aparticular quarter or year. Contingencies Certain of the Company’s revenues are subject to sales and use taxes in certain jurisdictions where it conducts business in the United States. During2018 and 2017, the Company estimated that a sales and use tax liability of $8,643 and $8,522, respectively, was probable related to multiple taxingjurisdictions with respect to revenues in the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and prior years. This amount is included in accruedexpenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company also estimated a sales and use tax receivable of $5,246 and $2,704, respectively,related to the estimated recoverability of a portion of the liability from customers. This amount is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on theconsolidated balance sheets. Additional future information obtained from the applicable jurisdictions may affect the Company’s estimate of its sales and use tax liability, butsuch change in the estimate cannot currently be made. 20.Benefit Plan The Company sponsors a profit sharing and savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, covering substantially all domesticemployees. The Company made voluntary employer matching contributions as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016Voluntary employer matching contributions $4,778 $4,038 $2,270 21.Segment Information Business segments are generally organized around our business services.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and ProceduresOur management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosurecontrols and procedures as of December 31, 2018. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a 15(e) and 15d 15(e) under theExchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in thereports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rulesand forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and121Table of Contentsprincipal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures,no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies itsjudgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2018, our disclosurecontrols and procedures were effective.b.
