Performance Analysis
Envestnet Inc (ENV, Financial) reported total revenue of $348.3 million for Q2 2024, an 11% increase from $312.4 million in Q2 2023. This revenue growth was driven by an 18% increase in asset-based recurring revenue, which represented 63% of total revenue, up from 59% in the previous year. Subscription-based recurring revenue saw a modest 3% increase, accounting for 34% of total revenue, down from 37% in Q2 2023. However, professional services and other non-recurring revenue decreased by 8% year-over-year.
Despite the revenue growth, Envestnet faced significant challenges, with total operating expenses rising by 29% to $423.8 million. This increase was primarily due to a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $96.3 million. Consequently, the company reported a net loss of $79.2 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $21.4 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in Q2 2023.
Financial Achievements
Envestnet's adjusted EBITDA increased by 39% to $77.8 million, reflecting improved operational efficiency. Adjusted net income also rose by 20% to $36.4 million, or $0.55 per diluted share. Free cash flow saw a significant increase of 83%, reaching $67.0 million, indicating strong cash generation capabilities.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2024, Envestnet had $122.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $892.5 million in outstanding debt. The company's $500.0 million revolving credit facility remained undrawn. Notably, Envestnet corrected a clerical error related to the classification of its Convertible Notes due 2025, which had been previously recorded as non-current debt.
Segment Reporting and Adjustments
Envestnet adjusted its segment reporting to reflect its current organizational structure. Additionally, the company corrected immaterial errors related to the classification of certain transactions in its financial statements.

We remain committed to maintaining our leading position, which is based on executing on what our clients need and deepening our relationships with them."
Conclusion
Envestnet Inc (ENV, Financial) demonstrated strong revenue growth and improved operational efficiency in Q2 2024.

The company's robust cash flow and liquidity position provide a solid foundation for future growth and strategic initiatives.
