WisdomTree Announces Third Quarter 2011 Results

35% growth in ETF AUM and 75% growth in revenues year over year

Company reports record $1.4 million net income, up 97% from prior quarter

$3.1 billion net inflows year to date representing 4.1% market share of industry flows

New York, NY – (BUSINESS WIRE) – October 27, 2011 – WisdomTree Investments, Inc. (NASDAQ: WETF), an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) sponsor and asset manager, today reported net income of $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2011 as compared to a net loss of $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2010 and a net income of $0.7 million in the prior quarter. Revenue increased 75.1% from the third quarter of last year and 6.1% from the second quarter.

WisdomTree CEO Jonathan Steinberg commented, “I am pleased that WisdomTree generated record revenues and doubled net income from the prior quarter. These numbers represent solid results in a challenging market environment.”

Mr. Steinberg continued, “There continues to be significant interest in dividend based strategies as investors deal with volatile market conditions and historically low bond yields. Against this backdrop, we are extremely encouraged by the strong relative performance track records our equity strategies are generating.”

Mr. Steinberg concluded, “We achieved continued improvement in our year to date market share of industry inflows. We also continued to expand our international fixed income product line, adding the WisdomTree Euro Debt Fund and the WisdomTree Australia & New Zealand Debt Fund in the month of October.”

Assets Under Management

ETF assets under management (“AUM”) was $11.2 billion at September 30, 2011, down from $12.9 billion at June 30, 2011, primarily due to $1.9 billion of negative market movement. Despite a significant decline in global equity markets over the quarter, the Company still achieved positive net inflows of $179 million. A summary of the Company’s key operating and financial statistics are below:

Third Quarter Financial Discussion

Revenues

Total revenues for the quarter increased 75.1% to a record $17.7 million as compared to the third quarter of 2010. This increase was primarily due to higher average assets under management from strong net ETF inflows. Average ETF assets under management were $12.8 billion in the third quarter of 2011, as compared to $7.1 billion in the third quarter of 2010. Total revenues increased 6.1% compared to the second quarter of 2011 primarily due to a 5.8% increase in average assets under management. We realized $0.2 billion in net inflows in the third quarter and a $1.9 billion reduction in our assets under management due to negative market movement. The average fee earned during the third and second quarters of 2011 was 0.55% as compared to the second quarter of 2010, when our average fee was 0.56%.

Expenses

Total expenses increased 40.6% to $16.4 million from $11.6 million in the third quarter of 2010 and increased 2.2% from $16.0 million in the second quarter of 2011.

•

Compensation and benefits expense increased 15.4% to $5.1 million compared to the third quarter of 2010 and 10.3% compared to the second quarter of 2011 primarily due to higher incentive compensation due to our positive operating results as well as higher headcount related expenses. Our headcount at the end of the third quarter of 2011 was 64 compared to 61 in the second quarter of 2011 and 56 in the third quarter of last year. Employee stock-based compensation decreased to $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2011 from $1.4 million in the third quarter of last year as equity awards granted in prior years became fully vested. Employee stock based compensation increased in the third quarter of 2011 from $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2011 as equity awards were granted to our sales force as part of their mid-year incentive compensation.

•

Fund management and administration expenses increased 42.7% to $5.1 million compared to the third quarter of 2010. This was primarily due to $1.2 million in higher portfolio management, fund administration and accounting, index licensing and distribution fees due to higher average assets under management. In addition we incurred $0.2 million in higher printing related fees. Fund management and administration expenses decreased 11.2% compared to the second quarter of 2011. Included in the second quarter of 2011 was a one-time charge of $0.7 million related to reimbursing the WisdomTree India ETF for excess fees collected by the Company as a result of overestimating the Company’s operating expense recapture fees for the India ETF’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. Also during the second quarter, the WisdomTree international equity funds rebalanced their portfolios leading to higher period transactional related fees of $0.2 million. Higher average assets under management led to an increase of $0.2 million in higher portfolio management and index licensing fees compared to the second quarter. Printing fees also increased $0.1 million compared to the second quarter.

•

Marketing and advertising expenses increased 22.3% to $0.9 million compared to the third quarter of 2010 primarily due to higher television and online related advertising expense. This expense decreased 32.9% compared to the second quarter of 2011 due to lower levels of advertising related activities in the third quarter.

•

Sales and business development expenses increased 24.5% to $1.0 million compared to the third quarter of 2010 and 4.5% compared to the second quarter of 2011 due to higher levels of product development related activity.

•

Professional and consulting fees increased 85.3% to $1.5 million as compared to the third quarter of 2010 and 35.1% compared to the second quarter of 2011. Higher variable stock based compensation expense increased to $0.8 million in the third quarter compared to $0.5 million in the third quarter of last year and $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2011 primarily due to a higher price in our common stock. We incurred $0.2 million in fees related to our exchange listing compared to $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2011.

•

Third-party sharing arrangements expense increased to $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $0.6 million in the third quarter of last year and $1.5 million in the second quarter of this year. These increases were primarily due to profit sharing arrangements with the Bank of New York Mellon Corporation with respect to certain currency and fixed income ETFs as well as marketing fees paid to third parties due to higher average assets under management.

•

Other expenses increased 75.6% to $0.7 million compared to the third quarter of last year and 55.6% compared to the second quarter of 2011 primarily due to higher administration related expenses.

•

Occupancy, communication and equipment expenses and depreciation and amortization expenses all had relatively small dollar value changes compared to both periods.

Year-to-Date Results

Total revenues increased $20.8 million or 73.7% to $49.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $28.2 million in the comparable period in 2010. This increase was primarily due to higher average assets under management, which increased 74.5% to $11.7 billion, which resulted primarily from $3.1 billion of net ETF inflows, partly offset by $1.8 billion in negative market movement.

Total expenses increased $11.6 million or 33.0% to $46.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $35.2 million in the comparable period in 2010. This increase was primarily due to higher fund management and administration expenses due to higher average asset balances, higher third-party sharing arrangements due to higher asset balances in our currency and fixed income ETFs, and higher marketing and advertising and sales and business development expenses to support our growth. We incurred $0.7 million in expenses related to our exchange listing and a one-time reimbursement of $0.7 million to the WisdomTree India ETF in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Balance Sheet

As of September 30, 2011, WisdomTree had total assets of $37.9 million which consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents of $21.1 million and investments of $9.2 million. WisdomTree has no debt. There were approximately 116.0 million shares issued as of September 30, 2011. Fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 136.1 million as of September 30, 2011.

This press release contains forward-looking statements that are based on our management’s belief and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements relate to future events or our future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, the risks described below. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. You should read this press release completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

In particular, forward-looking statements in this press release may include statements about:

•

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

•

anticipated levels of inflows into and outflows out of our exchange traded funds;

•

our ability to deliver favorable rates of return to investors;

•

our ability to develop new products and services;

•

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

•

competition in our business; and

•

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

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

•

We have only a limited operating history and, as a result, recent historical growth may not provide an accurate representation of the growth we may experience in the future, which may make it difficult to evaluate our future prospects.

•

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

•

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

•

Most of our assets under management are held in ETFs that invest in foreign securities and we therefore have substantial exposure to foreign market conditions and are subject to currency exchange rate risks.

•

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

•

We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from a limited number of products and, as a result, our operating results are particularly exposed to the performance of those funds, investor sentiment toward the strategies pursued by those funds and our ability to maintain the assets under management of those funds.

•

The WisdomTree ETFs have a limited track record and poor investment performance could cause our revenue to decline.

•

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

Other factors, such as general economic conditions, including currency exchange rate fluctuations, also may have an effect on the results of our operations. For a more complete description of the risks noted above and other risks that could cause our actual results to differ from our current expectations, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent filings under the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The forward-looking statements in this press release represent our views as of the date of this press release. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. Therefore, these forward-looking statements do not represent our views as of any date other than the date of this press release.
