Filed August 3, 2023For Securities:HOOD

Summary

Robinhood Markets, Inc. reported a significant turnaround in its financial performance for the second quarter of 2023, achieving net income of $25 million, a stark contrast to the $295 million net loss in the same quarter of the previous year. This improvement was driven by a substantial increase in total net revenues to $486 million, up 53% year-over-year, largely fueled by a more than doubling of net interest revenues, benefiting from a higher interest rate environment. Despite a decline in monthly active users (MAU) to 10.8 million from 14.0 million in the prior year, the company saw its Assets Under Custody (AUC) grow by 38% to $88.8 billion. This growth in AUC, coupled with an increase in Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) to $84 from $56, indicates a more engaged and higher-value customer base. The company also made progress on expense management, with total operating expenses decreasing by 24% year-over-year, contributing to a positive Adjusted EBITDA of $151 million compared to a negative $80 million in the prior year. The acquisition of X1 Inc. for approximately $104 million, which closed on July 3, 2023, signals a strategic move to expand its offerings.
