CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD‑LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) of
Robinhood Markets, Inc (together with its subsidiaries, “we”,
“Robinhood”, or the “Company”) contains forward-looking statements
(as such phrase is used in the federal securities laws), which
involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking
statements generally relate to future events or our future
financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify
forward-looking statements because they contain words such as
“believe,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,”
“could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “estimate,”
“predict,” “potential”, or “continue” or the negative of these
words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our
expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. This Quarterly Report
includes, among others, forward-looking statements
regarding:
•our
expectations regarding legal and regulatory proceedings and
investigations;
•our
intent to expand our operations outside of the United States and
our goal to offer brokerage services in the U.K. by the end of
2023;
•our
expectations for no credit losses for our held-to-maturity
investments that are obligations of states and political
subdivisions and securities issued by U.S. government sponsored
agencies;
•our
belief that, based on our current level of operations, our primary
sources of liquidity will be adequate to meet our current liquidity
needs for the next 12 months; and
•our
belief that the 2021 Founders Award Cancellation (defined below)
will lower our operating expenses by up to $50 million per quarter
starting in the second quarter of 2023.
Our forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and
unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors that
may cause our actual future results, performance, or achievements
to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied
in this Quarterly Report. Reported results should not be considered
an indication of future performance. Factors that contribute to the
uncertain nature of our forward-looking statements include, among
others:
•our
limited operating experience at our current scale;
•the
difficulty of managing our business effectively, including the size
of our workforce, and the risk of continued declining or negative
growth;
•the
fluctuations in our financial results and key metrics from quarter
to quarter;
•our
reliance on transaction-based revenue, including payment for order
flow (“PFOF”), and the risk of new regulation or bans on PFOF and
similar practices;
•our
exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and rapidly changing
interest rate environments;
•the
difficulty of raising additional capital (to provide liquidity
needs and support business growth and objectives) on reasonable
terms, if at all;
•the
need to maintain capital levels required by regulators and
self-regulatory organizations (“SROs”);
•the
risk that we might mishandle the cash, securities, and
cryptocurrencies we hold on behalf of customers, and our exposure
to liability for processing, operational, or technical errors in
clearing functions;
•the
impact of negative publicity on our brand and
reputation;
•the
risk that changes in business, economic, or political conditions
that impact the global financial markets, or a systemic market
event, might harm our business;
•our
dependence on key employees and a skilled workforce;
•the
difficulty of complying with an extensive, complex, and changing
regulatory environment and the need to adjust our business model in
response to new or modified laws and regulations;
•the
possibility of adverse developments in pending litigation and
regulatory investigations;
•the
effects of competition;
•our
need to innovate and invest in new products and services in order
to attract and retain customers and deepen their engagement with us
in order to maintain growth;
•our
reliance on third parties to perform some key functions and the
risk that processing, operational or technological failures could
impair the availability or stability of our platform;
•the
risk of cybersecurity incidents, theft, data breaches, and other
online attacks;
•the
difficulty of processing customer data in compliance with privacy
laws;
•our
need as a regulated financial services company to develop and
maintain effective compliance and risk management
infrastructures;
•the
volatility of cryptocurrency prices and trading
volumes;
•the
risk that our platform could be exploited to facilitate illegal
payments; and
•the
risk that substantial future sales of Class A common shares in the
public market, or the perception that they may occur, could cause
the price of our stock to fall.
Because some of these risks and uncertainties cannot be predicted
or quantified and some are beyond our control, you should not rely
on our forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.
More information about potential risks and uncertainties that could
affect our business and financial results is included in the
section of this Quarterly Report titled “Risk Factors” and our
other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”), which are available on the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.
Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing
environment; new risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to
time and it is not possible for us to predict all risks nor
identify all uncertainties. The events and circumstances reflected
in our forward-looking statements might not be achieved and actual
results could differ materially from those projected in the
forward-looking statements. Except as otherwise noted, all
forward-looking statements are made as of the date we file this
Quarterly Report, and are based on information and estimates
available to us at this time. Although we believe that the
expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are
reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, performance, or
achievements. Except as required by law, Robinhood assumes no
obligation to update any of the statements in this Quarterly Report
whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed
circumstances, or otherwise. You should read this Quarterly Report
with the understanding that our actual future results, performance,
events, and circumstances might be materially different from what
we expect.
We use the "Overview" tab of our Investor Relations website
(accessible at investors.robinhood.com/overview) and its blog,
Under the Hood (accessible at blog.robinhood.com), as means of
disclosing information to the public in a broad, non-exclusionary
manner for purposes of the SEC’s Regulation Fair Disclosure (“Reg.
FD”). Investors should routinely monitor those web pages, in
addition to our press
releases, SEC filings, and public conference calls and webcasts, as
information posted on them could be deemed to be material
information. The contents of our websites are not intended to be
incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report or in any
other report or document we file with the SEC, and any references
to our websites are intended to be inactive textual references
only.

ROBINHOOD MARKETS, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Robinhood Markets, Inc. (“RHM” and, together with its subsidiaries,
“Robinhood,” the “Company,” “we,” or “us”) was incorporated in the
State of Delaware on November 22, 2013. Our most significant,
wholly-owned subsidiaries are:
•Robinhood
Financial LLC (“RHF”), a registered introducing
broker-dealer;
•Robinhood
Securities, LLC (“RHS”), a registered clearing
broker-dealer;
•Robinhood
Crypto, LLC (“RHC”), which provides users the ability to buy, sell,
and transfer cryptocurrencies and is responsible for the custody of
user cryptocurrencies held on our platform; and
•Robinhood
Money, LLC (“RHY”), which offers a pre-paid debit card (the
“Robinhood Cash Card”) and a spending account that help customers
invest, save, and earn rewards.
Acting as the agent of the user, we facilitate the purchase and
sale of options, cryptocurrencies, and equities through our
platform by routing transactions through market makers, who are
responsible for trade execution. Upon execution of a trade, users
are legally required to purchase options, cryptocurrencies, or
equities for cash from the transaction counterparty or to sell
options, cryptocurrencies, or equities for cash to the transaction
counterparty, depending on the transaction. We facilitate and
confirm trades only when there are binding, matched legal
obligations from the user and the market maker on both sides of the
trade. Our users have ownership of the securities they transact on
our platform, including those that collateralize margin loans, and,
as a result, such securities are not presented on our unaudited
condensed consolidated balance sheets, other than user-held
fractional shares which are presented gross. Our users also have
ownership of the cryptocurrencies they transact on our platform
(none of which are allowed to be purchased on margin and which do
not serve as collateral for margin loans), and we recognize a
liability to reflect our safeguarding obligation along with a
corresponding asset on our balance sheet related to the
cryptocurrencies we hold in custody for users.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
(“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for
interim financial reporting. The condensed consolidated financial
statements are unaudited, and in management’s opinion, include all
adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments and accruals
necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim
periods presented. Operating results for the periods presented are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 or any future period.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated
financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (“2022 Form
10-K”).
There have been no material changes in our significant accounting
policies as described in our audited consolidated financial
statements included in our 2022 Form 10-K. The unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RHM and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated.
Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to
the current period’s presentation. The impact of these
reclassifications is immaterial to the presentation of the
unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements and had no impact on previously
reported total assets, total liabilities and net loss.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we reorganized our
management reporting structure from a single entity-level reporting
unit into four reporting units. As a result, we performed a
goodwill impairment assessment immediately before and after the
reorganization. This quantitative assessment did not result in
impairment, considering the fair value of each reporting unit
significantly exceeded the corresponding carrying amount of net
assets. We continue to operate and report financial information in
one operating segment.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience,
and other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances. Assumptions and estimates used in preparing our
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, but
are not limited to, those related to revenue recognition and
share-based compensation, the determination of allowances for
credit losses, valuation of user cryptocurrencies safeguarding
obligation and corresponding asset, investment valuation,
capitalization of internally developed software, useful lives of
property, software, and equipment, valuation and useful lives of
intangible assets, incremental borrowing rate used to calculate
operating lease right-of-use assets and related liabilities,
impairment of long-lived assets, uncertain tax positions, income
taxes, accrued and contingent liabilities. Actual results could
differ from these estimates and could have a material adverse
effect on our operating results.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
We are engaged in various trading and brokerage activities in which
the counterparties primarily include broker-dealers, banks, and
other financial institutions. In the event our counterparties do
not fulfill their obligations, we may be exposed to risk. The risk
of default depends on the creditworthiness of the counterparty.
Default of a counterparty in equities and options trades, which are
facilitated through
clearinghouses, would generally be spread among the clearinghouse's
members rather than falling entirely on us. It is our policy to
review, as necessary, the credit standing of each
counterparty.
In March 2023, certain U.S. banks failed and were taken over by the
U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Our exposure
to impacted U.S. banks is immaterial as of March 31, 2023. However,
we have taken steps to help ensure that the loss of all or a
significant portion of any uninsured amount would not have an
adverse effect on our ability to pay our operational expenses or
make other payments.
Investments
We invest in marketable debt securities and determine the
classification at the time of purchase.
Available-for-sale investments are recorded at fair value. We have
elected the fair value option for our available-for-sale
investments as we believe carrying these investments at fair value
and taking changes in fair value through earnings best reflects
their underlying economics. Fair value adjustments are presented in
other expense (income), net and interest earned on the debt
securities as net interest revenues in our unaudited condensed
consolidated statements of operations.
Held-to-maturity investments are securities that we have both the
ability and positive intent to hold until maturity and are recorded
at amortized cost. Interest income is calculated using the
effective interest method, adjusted for deferred fees or costs,
premium, or discount existing at the date of purchase. Interest
earned is included in interest revenues, net in our unaudited
condensed consolidated statements of operations. We evaluate
held-to-maturity investment for credit losses on a quarterly basis.
We do not expect credit losses for our held-to-maturity investments
that are obligations of states and political subdivisions and
securities issued by U.S. government sponsored agencies. We monitor
remaining securities by type and standard credit rating. There was
no reserve for credit losses as of March 31, 2023.
NOTE 2: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
There are no recently adopted accounting pronouncements that are
material to us as of March 31, 2023.

There are no new accounting pronouncements that we have not yet

For our fully-paid securities lending program under which we borrow
fully-paid shares from participating users and lend them to third
parties (“Fully-Paid Securities Lending”), we earn revenue for
lending certain securities based on demand for those securities and
portions of such revenues are paid to participating users, and
those payments are recorded as interest expense. For the three
months ended March 31, 2023, such interest revenue earned was
$10 million and such interest expenses paid to participating
users was $2 million. As the program was launched in the
second quarter of 2022, no such interest revenue earned or expenses
incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Contract Balances
Contract receivables are recognized when we have an unconditional
right to invoice and receive payment under a contract and are
derecognized when cash is received. Transaction-based revenue
receivables due from market makers are reported in receivables from
brokers, dealers, and clearing organizations while other revenue
receivables related to proxy revenues due from issuers are reported
in other current assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated
balance sheets.
Contract liabilities, which consist of unearned subscription
revenue, are recognized when users remit cash payments in advance
of the time we satisfy our performance obligations and are recorded
as other current liabilities on the unaudited condensed
consolidated balance sheets.
The table below sets forth contract receivables and liabilities for
the period indicated:

The difference between the opening and ending balances of our
contract receivables primarily results from increased revenues and
timing differences between our performance and counterparties’
payments. We recognized all revenue from amounts included in the
opening contract liability balances in the three months ended March
31, 2023.
NOTE 4: ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Substantially all of the allowance for credit losses relate to
unsecured balances of receivables from users due to Fraudulent
Deposit Transactions and losses on margin lending. Fraudulent
Deposit Transactions occur when users initiate deposits into their
accounts, make trades on our platform using a short-term extension
of credit from us, and then repatriate or reverse the deposits,
resulting in a loss to us of the credited amount. The following
table summarizes the allowance for credit losses:

The fair values used for held-to-maturity investments are obtained
from an independent pricing service and represent fair values
determined by pricing models using a market approach that considers
observable market data, such as interest rate volatility, relevant
yield curves, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live
trading systems. Management reviews the valuation methodology and
quality controls utilized by the pricing services in management's
overall assessment of the reasonableness of the fair values
provided.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we did not have any
transfers in or out of Level 3 assets or liabilities.

Our tax provision for interim periods is determined using an
estimated annual effective tax rate (“ETR”), adjusted for discrete
items arising in the period. In each quarter, we update our
estimated annual ETR and make a year-to-date calculation of the
provision.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023 the
ETR was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to
the full valuation allowance on our U.S. federal and state deferred
tax assets offset by current taxes payable.
The realization of tax benefits of net deferred tax assets is
dependent upon future levels of taxable income, of an appropriate
character, in the periods the items are expected to be deductible
or taxable. Based on the available objective evidence during the
three months ended March 31, 2023, we believe it is more likely
than not that the tax benefits of the remaining U.S. net deferred
tax assets may not be realized.
Utilization of the net operating loss and credit carryforwards may
be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership
change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may
result in the expiration of net operating losses and tax credits
before utilization.
NOTE 7: SECURITIES BORROWING AND LENDING
When we lend securities to third parties we receive cash as
collateral for the securities loaned. In the table below, the cash
collateral we hold related to loaned securities is presented in
“securities loaned” and the fair value of securities lent is
presented in “security collateral pledged.” Similarly, when we
borrow securities from third parties or fully-paid securities from
users, we provide cash collateral. In the table below, the amount
of that cash collateral is presented in “securities borrowed” and
the fair value of the securities received is presented in “security
collateral received.”
Our securities lending transactions are subject to enforceable
master netting arrangements with other broker-dealers; however, we
do not net securities borrowing and lending transactions.
Therefore, activity related to securities borrowing and lending
activities are presented gross in our unaudited condensed
consolidated balance sheets.
The following tables set forth certain balances related to our
securities borrowing and lending activities as of December 31, 2022
and March 31, 2023:

We obtain securities on terms that permit us to pledge and/or
transfer securities to others. As of December 31, 2022 and March
31, 2023, we were permitted to re-pledge securities with a fair
value of $4.36 billion for both periods under margin account
agreements with users, and securities with a fair value of
$18.4 million and $1.0 million that we had borrowed under
master securities loan agreements (“MSLAs”) with third parties.
Under the Fully-Paid Securities Lending program, as of March 31,
2023, we were permitted to re-pledge securities with a fair value
of $6.34 billion including securities with a fair value of
$845.0 million that we had borrowed from users.
As of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, we had re-pledged
securities with a fair value of $1.63 billion and $2.37
billion, in each case under MSLAs and fixed-term securities lending
agreements with third parties. In addition, as of December 31, 2022
and March 31, 2023, we had re-pledged $231.2 million and
$430.7 million of the permitted amounts under the Margin
Securities Lending program with clearing organizations to meet
deposit requirements.
NOTE 8: FINANCING ACTIVITIES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET
RISK
Revolving Credit Facilities
October 2019 Credit Facility
In October 2019, we entered into a $200 million committed and
unsecured revolving line of credit with a syndicate of banks
maturing in October 2023 (the “October 2019 Credit Facility”). The
October 2019 Credit Facility was subsequently amended to, among
other things, increase the aggregate committed and unsecured
revolving line of credit amount to $625 million with a
maturity date of October 29, 2024 and change the applicable
interest rates. Refer to Note 12 - Financing Activities and
Off-Balance Sheet Risk, of the 2022 Form 10-K for more
information.
April 2023 Credit Agreement
On March 24, 2023, RHS, our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into
the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “April 2023
Credit Agreement”) among RHS, as borrower, the lenders party
thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent,
amending and restating the $2.275 billion 364-day senior
secured revolving credit facility entered into in April 2022 (Refer
to Note 12 - Financing Activities and Off-Balance Sheet Risk, of
the 2022 Form 10-K for more information).
The April 2023 Credit Agreement provides for a 364-day senior
secured revolving credit facility with a total commitment of
$2.175 billion. Under circumstances described in the April
2023 Credit Agreement, the aggregate commitments may be increased
by up to $1.0875 billion, for a total commitment under the
April 2023 Credit Agreement of $3.2625 billion. Borrowings
under the credit facility must be specified to be Tranche A,
Tranche B, Tranche C or a combination thereof. Tranche A loans are
secured by users’ securities purchased on margin and are used
primarily to finance margin loans. Tranche B loans are secured by
the right to the return from National Securities Clearing
Corporation (“NSCC”) of NSCC margin deposits and cash and property
in a designated collateral account and used for the purpose of
satisfying NSCC deposit requirements. Tranche C loans are secured
by the right to the return of eligible funds from any reserve
account of the borrower and cash and property in a designated
collateral account and used for the purpose of satisfying reserve
requirements under Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
Borrowings under the April 2023 Credit Agreement will bear interest
at a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (i) Daily Simple
Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 0.10%, (ii) the
Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined in the April 2023 Credit
Agreement) and (iii) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate (as defined in
the April 2023 Credit Agreement), in each case, as of the day the
loan is initiated, plus an applicable margin rate. The applicable
margin rate is 1.25% for Tranche A loans and 2.50% for Tranche B
and Tranche C loans. Undrawn commitments will accrue commitment
fees at a rate per annum equal to 0.50%.
The April 2023 Credit Agreement requires RHS to maintain a minimum
consolidated tangible net worth and a minimum excess net capital,
and subjects RHS to a specified limit on minimum net capital to
aggregate debit items. In addition, the April 2023 Credit Agreement
contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants,
including limitations with respect to debt, liens, fundamental
changes, asset sales, restricted payments, investments and
transactions with affiliates, subject to certain exceptions.
Amounts due under the April 2023 Credit Agreement may be
accelerated upon an “event of default,” as defined in the April
2023 Credit Agreement, such as failure to pay amounts owed
thereunder when due, breach of a covenant, material inaccuracy of a
representation, or occurrence of bankruptcy or insolvency, subject
in some cases to cure periods.
As of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, there were no
borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit
facilities.
We were in compliance with all covenants, as applicable, under our
revolving credit facilities as of December 31, 2022 and March 31,
2023.
Off-Balance Sheet Risk
In the normal course of business, we engage in activities involving
settlement and financing of securities transactions. User
securities transactions are recorded on a settlement date basis,
which is generally
two business days after the trade date for equities and
one business day after the trade date for options. These
activities may expose us to off-balance sheet risk in the event
that the other party to the transaction is unable to fulfill its
contractual obligations. In such events, we may be required to
purchase financial instruments at prevailing market prices in order
to fulfill our obligations.
NOTE 9: COMMON STOCK AND STOCKHOLDERS' (DEFICIT)
EQUITY
Preferred Stock
As of March 31, 2023, no terms of the preferred stock were
designated, and no shares of preferred stock were
outstanding.
Common Stock
We have three authorized classes of common stock: Class A, Class B,
and Class C. Holders of our Class A common stock are entitled to
one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by our
stockholders, holders of our Class B common stock are entitled to
10 votes per share on all matters to be voted upon by our
stockholders and, except as otherwise required by applicable law,
holders of our Class C common stock are not entitled to vote on any
matter to be voted upon by our stockholders. The holders of our
Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a
single class, unless otherwise required by our Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation (our "Charter") or applicable
law.
Warrants
As of March 31, 2023, warrants outstanding consisted of warrants to
purchase 14.3 million shares of Class A common stock with a strike
price of $26.60 per share. The warrants expire on February 12, 2031
and can be exercised with cash or net shares at the holder’s
option. In aggregate, the maximum purchase amount of all warrants
is $380 million. As of March 31, 2023, the warrants have not
been exercised and are included as a component of additional paid
in capital on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance
sheets.
Equity Incentive Plans
Amended and Restated 2013 Stock Plan and 2020 Equity Incentive
Plan
Our Amended and Restated 2013 Stock Plan, as amended (the “2013
Plan”), and our 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2020
Plan”), provided for share-based awards to eligible participants,
granted as incentive stock options (“ISOs”), non-statutory stock
options (“NSOs”), restricted stock units ("RSUs"), stock
appreciation rights (“SARs”) or restricted stock awards (“RSAs”).
Our 2013 Plan was terminated in connection with adoption of our
2020 Plan, and our 2020 Plan was terminated in connection with the
adoption of our 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2021 Plan") but
any awards outstanding under our 2013 Plan and 2020 Plan remain in
effect in accordance with their terms. Any shares that were or
otherwise would become available for grant under the 2013 Plan or
2020 Plan will be available for grant under the 2021 Plan. No new
awards may be granted under our 2013 Plan or 2020
Plan.
2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan
Our 2021 Plan became effective on July 27, 2021, and provides for
the grant of share-based awards (such as options, including ISOs
and NSOs, SARs, RSAs, RSUs, performance units, and other
equity-based awards) and cash-based awards.
As of March 31, 2023, an aggregate of 405 million shares had been
authorized for issuance under the 2013 Plan, 2020 Plan, and 2021
Plan, of which 106 million shares had been issued under the plans,
101 million shares were reserved for issuance upon the
exercise or settlement of outstanding equity awards under the
plans, and 198 million shares remained available for new grants
under the 2021 Plan.
Time-Based RSUs
We grant RSUs that vest upon the satisfaction of a time-based
service condition (“Time-Based RSUs”). The following table
summarizes the activity related to our Time-Based RSUs for the
three months ended March 31, 2023, which is the period we grant our

Market-Based RSUs
In 2019 and 2021, we granted to our founders RSUs under which
vesting is conditioned upon both the achievement of share price
targets and the continued employment by each recipient over defined
service periods (“Market-Based RSUs”).
In February 2023, we cancelled the 2021 Market-Based RSUs of
35.5 million unvested shares (the “2021 Founders Award
Cancellation”). We recognized $485 million share-based
compensation (“SBC”) expense related to the cancellation during the
three months ended March 31, 2023, which was included in the
general and administrative expense in our unaudited condensed
statement of operations. No further expense associated with these
awards were recognized after the cancellation. No other payments,
replacement equity awards or benefits were granted in connection
with the cancellation.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, SBC expense
primarily consisted of $528 million and $84 million
related to Market-Based RSUs and $67 million and
$130 million related to Time-Based RSUs.
We capitalized SBC expense related to internally developed software
of $4 million and $10 million during the three months ended
March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively.
As of March 31, 2023, there was
$0.7 billion
of unrecognized SBC expense that is expected to be recognized over
a weighted-average period of
1.3 years.
NOTE 10: NET LOSS PER SHARE
We present net loss per share using the two-class method required
for multiple classes of common stock. The rights, including the
liquidation and dividend rights, of the holders of Class A common
stock and Class B common stock are identical, except with respect
to voting. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical for
Class A common stock and Class B common stock, the undistributed
earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis and the resulting
loss per share will, therefore, be the same for both Class A common
stock and Class B common stock on an individual or combined
basis.

loss per share:

NOTE 11: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Related party transactions may include any transaction between
entities under common control or with a related party. We have
defined related parties as members of the board of directors,
executive officers, principal owners of our outstanding stock and
any immediate family members of each such related party, as well as
any other person or entity with significant influence over our
management or operations and any other affiliates.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we did not have any
material related party transactions.
NOTE 12: LEASES
Our operating leases are comprised of office facilities, with the
most significant leases relating to our corporate headquarters in

NOTE 13: COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES
We are subject to contingencies arising in the ordinary course of
our business, including contingencies related to legal, regulatory,
non-income tax and other matters. We record an accrual for loss
contingencies at management’s best estimate when we determine that
it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the
loss can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate is a
range and no amount within that range is considered a better
estimate than any other amount, an accrual is recorded based on the
bottom amount of the range. If a loss is not probable, or a
probable loss cannot be reasonably estimated, no accrual is
recorded. Amounts accrued for contingencies in the aggregate were
$85 million as of December 31, 2022 and $88 million as of March 31,
2023. In our opinion, an adequate accrual had been made as of each
such date to provide for the probable losses of which we are aware
and for which we can reasonably estimate an amount.
Legal and Regulatory Matters
The securities industry is highly regulated and many aspects of our
business involve substantial risk of liability. In past years,
there has been an increase in litigation and regulatory
investigations involving the brokerage and cryptocurrency
industries. Litigation has included and may in the future include
class action suits that generally seek substantial and, in some
cases, punitive damages. Federal and state regulators, exchanges,
or other SROs investigate issues related to regulatory compliance
that may result in enforcement action. We are also subject to
periodic regulatory audits and inspections that have in the past
and could in the future lead to enforcement investigations or
actions.
We have been named as a defendant in lawsuits and from time to time
we have been threatened with, or named as a defendant in
arbitrations and administrative proceedings. The outcomes of these
matters are inherently uncertain and some may result in adverse
judgments or awards, including penalties, injunctions, or other
relief, and we may also determine to settle a matter because of the
uncertainty and risks of litigation.
With respect to matters discussed below, we believe, based on
current knowledge, that any losses (in excess of amounts accrued,
if applicable) as of March 31, 2023 that are reasonably possible
and can be reasonably estimated will not, in the aggregate, have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial position,
operating results, or cash flows. However, for many of the matters
disclosed below, particularly those in early stages, we cannot
reasonably estimate the reasonably possible loss (or range of
loss), if any. In addition, the ultimate outcome of legal
proceedings involves judgments and inherent uncertainties and
cannot be predicted with certainty. Any judgment entered against
us, or any adverse settlement, could materially and adversely
impact our business, financial condition, operating results, and
cash flows. We might also incur substantial legal fees, which are
expensed as incurred, in defending against legal and regulatory
claims.
Described below are certain pending matters in which there is at
least a reasonable possibility that a material loss could be
incurred. We intend to continue to defend these matters
vigorously.
Best Execution, Payment for Order Flow, and Sources of Revenue
Civil Litigation
Beginning in December 2020, multiple putative securities fraud
class action lawsuits were filed against RHM, RHF, and RHS. Five
cases were consolidated in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of California. An amended consolidated complaint
was filed in May 2021, alleging violations of Section 10(b) of the
Exchange Act and various state law causes of action based on claims
that we violated the duty of best execution and misled putative
class members by publishing misleading statements and omissions in
customer communications relating to the execution of trades and
revenue sources (including PFOF). Plaintiffs seek damages,
restitution, disgorgement, and other relief. In February 2022, the
court granted Robinhood’s motion to dismiss the amended
consolidated complaint without prejudice. In March 2022, plaintiffs
filed a second consolidated amended complaint, alleging only
violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, which Robinhood
moved to dismiss. In October 2022, the court granted Robinhood’s
motion in part and denied it in part. In November 2022, Robinhood
filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings, which the court
denied in January 2023.
March 2020 Outages
A consolidated putative class action lawsuit relating to the
service outages on our stock trading platform on March 2-3, 2020
and March 9, 2020 (“March 2020 Outages”) is pending in the United
States District Court for the Northern District of California. The
lawsuit generally alleges that putative class members were unable
to execute trades during the March 2020 Outages because our
platform was inadequately designed to handle customer demand and we
failed to implement appropriate backup systems. The lawsuit
includes, among other things, claims for breach of contract,
negligence, gross negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, unjust
enrichment and violations of certain California consumer protection
statutes. The lawsuit generally seeks damages, restitution, and/or
disgorgement, as well as declaratory and injunctive relief. In May
2022, the parties notified the court that they had reached an
agreement in principle resolving this action. The settlement
agreement has been preliminarily approved by the
court.
In addition, in September 2021, approximately 400
jointly-represented customers initiated an arbitration of
individual claims against us arising out of the March 2020 Outages
and other alleged system outages. The parties have reached an
agreement to resolve this matter.
State Regulatory Matters
Certain state regulatory authorities have conducted investigations
regarding RHF’s options trading and related customer communications
and displays, options and margin trading approval process, the
March 2020 Outages, and customer support prior to June 2020. RHF
reached settlements with several state regulators including the
Alabama Securities Commission, the California Department of
Financial Protection and Innovation, the Colorado Division of
Securities, the Delaware Department of Justice - Investor
Protection Unit, the New Jersey Bureau of Securities, the South
Dakota Division of Insurance,
and the Texas State Securities Board, under which we have agreed to
pay a monetary penalty of $200,000 per state. RHF anticipates
additional potential state settlements as part of a multi-state
settlement related to these issues totaling up to approximately
$10 million. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
(“FINRA”) previously conducted an investigation and reached a
settlement with RHF regarding many of these issues.
Brokerage Enforcement Matters
FINRA Enforcement staff are conducting investigations related to,
among other things, RHS’s reporting of fractional share trades, as
applicable, to a Trade Reporting Facility, the Over-the-Counter
Reporting Facility, the Order Audit Trail System, and the
Consolidated Audit Trail; RHS’s reporting of accounts holding
significant options positions to the Large Option Position Report
system; processing of certain requests for transfers of assets from
Robinhood through the Automated Customer Account Transfer System;
responses to Electronic Blue Sheets requests from FINRA; the delays
in notification from third parties and process failures within our
brokerage systems and operations in connection with the handling of
a 1-for-25 reverse stock split transaction of Cosmo Health, Inc, in
December 2022 (the “Q4 2022 Processing Error”); RHF’s compliance
with FINRA registration requirements for member personnel;
marketing involving social media influencers and affiliates;
collaring the prices of certain trade orders; and RHS’ compliance
with best execution obligations. We are cooperating with these
investigations.
RHS has received requests from the SEC Division of Enforcement
regarding its compliance with Regulation SHO’s trade reporting and
other requirements in connection with securities lending,
fractional share trading, and the Q4 2022 Processing Error, and
previously received similar requests from FINRA examinations staff.
RHS and RHF have also received requests from the SEC Division of
Enforcement and FINRA Enforcement staff related to the Firms’
compliance with recordkeeping requirements, including requests
regarding off-channel communications. We are cooperating with these
investigations.
Robinhood Crypto Matters
RHC has received subpoenas from the California Attorney General’s
Office seeking information about, among other things, RHC’s trading
platform, business and operations, custody of customer assets,
customer disclosures, and coin listings. RHC is cooperating with
this investigation.
Account Takeovers, Anti-Money Laundering, and Cybersecurity
Matters
FINRA Enforcement and the SEC Division of Enforcement are
investigating account takeovers (i.e., circumstances under which an
unauthorized actor successfully logs into a customer account), as
well as anti-money laundering compliance and cybersecurity issues.
The SEC’s Division of Enforcement is also investigating issues
related to compliance with the Electronic Funds Transfer Act. We
are cooperating with these investigations.
In January 2021, Siddharth Mehta filed a putative class action in
California state court against RHF and RHS, purportedly on behalf
of approximately 2,000 Robinhood customers whose accounts were
allegedly accessed by unauthorized users. RHF and RHS removed this
action to the United States District Court for the Northern
District of California. Plaintiff generally alleges that RHF and
RHS breached commitments made and duties owed to customers to
safeguard customer data and assets and seeks monetary damages and
injunctive relief. In April 2022, the parties reached a settlement
in principle to resolve this matter. The settlement agreement has
been preliminarily approved by the court.
Massachusetts Securities Division Matter
In December 2020, the Enforcement Section of the Massachusetts
Securities Division (“MSD”) filed an administrative complaint
against RHF, which stems from an investigation initiated by the MSD
in July 2020. The complaint alleged three counts of Massachusetts
securities law violations regarding alleged unethical and dishonest
conduct or practices, failure to supervise, and failure to act in
accordance with the Massachusetts fiduciary duty standard, which
became effective on March 6, 2020 and had an
effective enforcement date beginning September 1, 2020. Among other
things, the MSD alleged that our product features and marketing
strategies, outages, and options trading approval process
constitute violations of Massachusetts securities laws. MSD
subsequently filed an amended complaint that seeks, among other
things, injunctive relief (a permanent cease and desist order),
censure, restitution, disgorgement, appointment of an independent
consultant, an administrative fine, and revocation of RHF's license
to operate in Massachusetts. If RHF were to lose its license to
operate in Massachusetts, we would not be able to acquire any new
customers in Massachusetts, and we expect that our current
customers in Massachusetts would be unable to continue utilizing
any of the services or products offered on our platform (other than
closing their positions) and that we may be forced to transfer such
customers’ accounts to other broker-dealers. Additionally,
revocation of RHF’s Massachusetts license could trigger similar
disqualification or proceedings to restrict or condition RHF’s
registration by other state regulators. A revocation of RHF’s
license to operate in Massachusetts would result in RHF and RHS
being subject to statutory disqualification by FINRA and the SEC,
which would then result in RHF needing to obtain relief from FINRA
subject to SEC review in order to remain a FINRA member and RHS
possibly needing relief from FINRA or other SROs.
In April 2021, RHF filed a complaint and motion for preliminary
injunction and declaratory relief in Massachusetts state court
seeking to enjoin the MSD administrative proceeding and challenging
the legality of the Massachusetts fiduciary duty standard. In
September 2021, the parties filed cross-motions for partial
judgment on the pleadings. In March 2022, the court ruled in favor
of RHF, declaring that the Massachusetts fiduciary duty regulation
was unlawful. The MSD is appealing the ruling and it is scheduled
to be heard by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court in May
2023. A hearing on the two remaining counts alleged by the MSD in
its amended administrative complaint has been continued pending
resolution of the appeal.
Text Message Litigation
In August 2021, Cooper Moore filed a putative class action against
RHF alleging that RHF initiated or assisted in the transmission of
commercial electronic text messages to Washington State residents
without their consent in violation of Washington state law. The
complaint seeks statutory and treble damages, injunctive relief,
and attorneys’ fees and costs. The case is currently pending in the
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. RHF
filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. In February 2022, Moore
and Andrew Gillette filed an amended complaint, which RHF again
moved to dismiss. In August 2022, the court denied RHF’s motion to
dismiss.
Early 2021 Trading Restrictions Matters
Beginning on January 28, 2021, due to increased deposit
requirements imposed on RHS by the NSCC in response to
unprecedented market volatility, particularly in certain
securities, RHS temporarily restricted or limited its customers’
purchase of certain securities, including GameStop Corp. and AMC
Entertainment Holdings, Inc., on our platform (the “Early 2021
Trading Restrictions”).
A number of individual and putative class actions related to the
Early 2021 Trading Restrictions were filed against RHM, RHF, and
RHS, among others, in various federal and state courts. In April
2021, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation entered an
order centralizing the federal cases identified in a motion to
transfer and coordinate or consolidate the actions filed in
connection with the Early 2021 Trading Restrictions in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The
court subsequently divided plaintiffs’ claims against Robinhood
into three tranches: federal antitrust claims, federal securities
law claims, and state law claims. In July 2021, plaintiffs filed
consolidated complaints seeking monetary damages in connection with
the federal antitrust and state law tranches. The federal antitrust
complaint asserted one violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act;
the state law complaint asserted negligence and breach of fiduciary
duty claims. In August 2021, we moved to dismiss both of these
complaints.
In September 2021, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint asserting
state law claims of negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, tortious
interference with contract and business relationship, civil
conspiracy, and breaches of the covenant of good faith and fair
dealing and implied duty of care. In January 2022, the court
dismissed the state law complaint with prejudice. Plaintiffs have
appealed the court’s order to the United States Court of Appeals
for the Eleventh Circuit.
In November 2021, the court dismissed the federal antitrust
complaint without prejudice. In January 2022, plaintiffs filed an
amended complaint in connection with the federal antitrust tranche
and Robinhood moved to dismiss the amended complaint. In May 2022,
the court dismissed the federal antitrust complaint with prejudice.
Plaintiffs have appealed the court’s order to the United States
Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.
In November 2021, plaintiffs for the federal securities tranche
filed a complaint alleging violations of Sections 9(a) and 10(b) of
the Exchange Act. In January 2022, we moved to dismiss the federal
securities law complaint. In August 2022, the court granted in part
and denied in part Robinhood’s motion to dismiss.
RHM, RHF, RHS, and our Co-Founder and CEO, Vladimir Tenev, among
others, have received requests for information, and in some cases,
subpoenas and requests for testimony, related to investigations and
examinations of the Early 2021 Trading Restrictions from the United
States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California
(“USAO”), the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ”), Antitrust
Division, the SEC’s Division of Enforcement, FINRA, the New York
Attorney General’s Office, other state attorneys general offices,
and a number of state securities regulators. Also, a related search
warrant was executed by the USAO to obtain Mr. Tenev's cell phone.
There have been several inquiries based on specific customer
complaints. We have also received requests from the SEC Division of
Enforcement and FINRA related to employee trading in certain
securities that were subject to the Early 2021 Trading
Restrictions, including GameStop Corp. and AMC Entertainment
Holdings, Inc., during the week of January 25, 2021. These matters
include requests related to whether any employee trading in these
securities may have occurred after the decision to impose the Early
2021 Trading Restrictions and before the public announcement of the
Early 2021 Trading Restrictions on January 28, 2021. We are
cooperating with these investigations. FINRA Enforcement has also
requested information about policies, procedures, and supervision
related to employee trading generally.
In January 2023, approximately 4,700 jointly represented customers
filed a statement of claim with FINRA to initiate arbitration of
individual claims against RHF and RHS arising out of the Early 2021
Trading Restrictions.
IPO Litigation
In December 2021, Philip Golubowski filed a putative class action
in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California
against RHM, the officers and directors who signed Robinhood’s
initial public offering (“IPO”) offering documents, and Robinhood’s
IPO underwriters. Plaintiff’s claims are based on alleged false or
misleading statements in Robinhood’s IPO offering documents
allegedly in violation of Sections 11 and 12(a) of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Plaintiff seeks
compensatory damages, rescission of shareholders’ share purchases,
and an award for attorneys’ fees and costs. In February 2022,
certain alleged Robinhood stockholders submitted applications
seeking appointment by the court to be the lead plaintiff to
represent the putative class in this matter, and in March 2022, the
court appointed lead plaintiffs. In June 2022, plaintiffs filed an
amended complaint. In August 2022, Robinhood filed a motion to
dismiss the complaint. In February 2023, the court granted
Robinhood’s motion without prejudice. In March 2023, plaintiffs
filed a second amended complaint.
In January 2022, Robert Zito filed a complaint derivatively on
behalf of Robinhood against Robinhood’s directors at the time of
its IPO in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.
Plaintiff alleges breach of fiduciary duties, waste of corporate
assets, unjust enrichment, and violations of Section 10(b) of the
Exchange Act. Plaintiff’s claims are based on allegations of false
or misleading statements in
Robinhood’s IPO offering documents, and plaintiff seeks an award of
damages and restitution to the Company, injunctive relief, and an
award for attorney’s fees and costs. In March 2022, the district
court entered a stay of this litigation pending resolution of
Robinhood’s motion to dismiss in the Golubowski securities action
discussed above.
In August 2022, a shareholder sent a letter to the RHM board of
directors demanding, among other things, that the board of
directors pursue causes of action on behalf of the Company related
to allegations of misconduct in connection with the Early 2021
Trading Restrictions, Robinhood’s IPO offering documents, and the
data security incident we experienced in November 2021 when an
unauthorized third-party socially engineered a customer support
employee by phone and obtained access to certain customer support
systems (the “November 2021 Data Security Incident”). The Board has
formed a Demand Review Committee that is reviewing the
demand.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This section presents management’s perspective on our financial
condition and results of operations, including performance metrics
that management uses to assess company performance. The following
discussion and analysis is intended to highlight and supplement
data and information presented elsewhere in this Quarterly Report,
and should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements and notes elsewhere in
this Quarterly Report and our audited consolidated financial
statements and the related notes and the discussion under the
heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" included in our 2022 Form
10-K. It is also intended to provide you with information that will
assist you in understanding our consolidated financial statements,
the changes in key items in those consolidated financial statements
from year to year, and the primary factors that accounted for those
changes. To the extent that this discussion describes prior
performance, the descriptions relate only to the periods listed,
which might not be indicative of our future financial outcomes. In
addition to historical information, this discussion contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and
assumptions that could cause results to differ materially from
management’s expectations. Factors that could cause such
differences are discussed in the sections titled “Cautionary Note
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk
Factors.”
Data as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023
has been derived from our unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements appearing at the beginning of this Quarterly
Report. Results for any interim period should not be construed as
an inference of what our results would be for any full fiscal year
or future period.
We refer to our “users” and our “customers” interchangeably
throughout this Quarterly Report to refer to individuals who hold
accounts on our platform.
Glossary Terms
•Automated
Customer Account Transfer Service (“ACATS”):
A system that automates and standardizes procedures for the
transfer of assets in a customer account from one brokerage firm
and/or bank to another.
•Churned
Account:
An account is considered “Churned” if it was ever a New Funded
Account whose account balance (measured as the fair value of assets
in the account less any amount due from the user and excluding
certain Company-initiated Credits) drops to or below zero for at
least 45 consecutive calendar days. Negative balances typically
result from Fraudulent Deposit Transactions (as defined below) and
unauthorized debit card use, and less often, from margin
loans.
•Company-initiated
Credits:
Company-initiated Credits are amounts that are deposited into a
Robinhood Account by the Company with no action taken by the user.
Examples of Company-initiated Credits excluded for purposes of
identifying Churned Accounts and Resurrected Accounts are price
correction credits, related interest adjustments, and fee
adjustments.
•Daily
Average Revenue Trades (“DARTs”):
We define DARTs for any asset class as the total number of revenue
generating trades for such asset class executed during a given
period divided by the number of trading days for such asset class
in that period.
•Fraudulent
Deposit Transactions:
Occur when users initiate deposits into their accounts, make trades
on our platform using a short-term extension of credit from us, and
then repatriate or reverse the deposits, resulting in a loss to us
of the credited amount.
•Margin
Book:
We define Margin Book as our period-end aggregate outstanding
margin loan balances receivable (i.e., the period-end total amount
we are owed by customers on loans made for the purchase of
securities, supported by a pledge of assets in their margin-enabled
brokerage accounts).
•New
Funded Account:
We define a New Funded Account as a Robinhood Account into which
the user makes an initial deposit, money transfer or asset
transfer, of any amount during the relevant period.
•Notional
Trading Volume:
We define Notional Trading Volume for any specified asset class as
the aggregate dollar value (purchase price or sale price as
applicable) of trades executed in that asset class over a specified
period of time.
•Options
Contracts Traded:
We define Options Contracts Traded as the total number of options
contracts bought or sold over a specified period of time. Each
contract generally entitles the holder to trade 100 shares of the
underlying stock.
•Resurrected
Account:
An account is considered “Resurrected” in a stated period if it was
a Churned Account as of the end of the immediately preceding period
and its balance (excluding certain Company-initiated Credits) rises
above zero.
•Robinhood
Account:
We define a Robinhood Account as a unique log-in that provides the
account user access to any and all of the Robinhood products
offered on our platform.
Key Performance Metrics
•Net
Cumulative Funded Accounts (“NCFA”):
We define Net Cumulative Funded Accounts as New Funded Accounts
less Churned Accounts plus Resurrected Accounts.
•Monthly
Active Users (“MAU”):
We define MAUs as the number of unique Robinhood Accounts who meet
one of the following criteria at any point during a specified
calendar month: a) executes a debit card transaction, b)
transitions between two different screens on a mobile device while
logged into their Robinhood Account or c) loads a page in a web
browser while logged into their Robinhood Account. A user need not
satisfy these conditions on a recurring monthly basis or have a
funded account to be included in MAU. MAU figures in this Quarterly
Report reflect MAU for the last month of the relevant period
presented. We utilize MAU to measure how many customers interact
with our products and services during a given month. MAU does not
measure the frequency or duration of the interaction, but we
consider it a useful indicator for engagement. Additionally, MAUs
are positively correlated with, but are not indicative of, the
performance of revenue and other key performance
indicators.
•Assets
Under Custody (“AUC”):
We define AUC as the sum of the fair value of all equities,
options, cryptocurrency and cash held by users in their accounts,
net of receivables from users, as of a stated date or period end on
a trade date basis. Net Deposits and net market gains (losses)
drive the change in AUC in any given period.
•Net
Deposits:
We define Net Deposits as all cash deposits and asset transfers
received from customers, net of reversals, customer cash
withdrawals, and other assets transferred out of our platform
(assets transferred in or out include debit card transactions,
ACATS transfers, and custodial crypto wallet transfers) for a
stated period.
•Growth
Rate and Annualized Growth Rate with respect to Net
Deposits:
When used with respect to Net Deposits, "growth rate" and
"annualized growth rate" provide information about Net Deposits
relative to total AUC. "Growth rate" is calculated as aggregate Net
Deposits over a specified 12 month period, divided by AUC for the
fiscal quarter that immediately precedes such 12 month period.
"Annualized growth rate" is calculated as Net Deposits for a
specified quarter multiplied by 4 and divided by AUC for the
immediately preceding quarter.
•Average
Revenue Per User (“ARPU”):
We define ARPU as total revenue for a given period divided by the
average of Net Cumulative Funded Accounts on the last day of that
period and the last day of the immediately preceding
period.
Overview
Robinhood was founded on the belief that everyone should be welcome
to participate in our financial system. We are creating a modern
financial services platform for everyone, regardless of their
wealth, income, or background.
Our mission is to democratize finance for all. We use technology to
provide access to the financial system in a way that is simple and
convenient for our customers. We believe investing should be
familiar and welcoming, with a simple design and an intuitive
interface, so that customers are empowered to achieve their goals.
We started with a revolutionary, bold brand and design in the
Robinhood app which makes investing approachable for millions. We
pioneered commission-free stock trading with no account minimums,
which the rest of the industry emulated, and we continue to build
relationships with our customers by introducing new products that
further expand access to the financial system. Through these
efforts, we believe we have made investing culturally relevant and
understandable, and that our platform is enabling our customers to
become long-term investors and take greater control of their
finances.

(loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, please see “—Non-GAAP Financial
Measures” below.
Recent Developments
2021 Founders Award Cancellation
In February 2023, we cancelled the 2021 Market-Based RSUs granted
to our founders of 35.5 million unvested shares. We recognized
$485 million SBC expense related to the cancellation during
the three months ended March 31, 2023. No further expense
associated with these awards will be recognized after the
cancellation. No other payments, replacement equity awards or
benefits were granted in connection with the cancellation. The 2021
Founders Award Cancellation will lower our operating expenses by up
to $50 million per quarter starting in the second quarter of
2023.
2023 Banking Events
In March 2023, certain U.S. banks failed and were taken over by the
FDIC. As of March 31, 2023, our exposure to impacted U.S. banks is
immaterial, and we have taken steps to help ensure that the loss of
all or a significant portion of any uninsured amount would not have
an adverse effect on our ability to pay our operational expenses or
make other payments.
Key Performance Metrics
In addition to the measures presented in our unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements, we use the following key

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
We collect and analyze operating and financial data to evaluate the
health of our business, allocate our resources and assess our
performance. In addition to total net revenues, net income (loss),
and other
results under GAAP, we utilize non-GAAP calculations of adjusted
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization
(“Adjusted EBITDA”). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income
(loss), excluding (i) interest expenses related to credit
facilities, (ii) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (iii)
depreciation and amortization, (iv) SBC, (v) significant legal and
tax settlements and reserves, and (vii) other significant gains,
losses, and expenses (such as impairments, restructuring charges,
and business acquisition- or disposition-related expenses) that we
believe are not indicative of our ongoing results. This non-GAAP
financial information is presented for supplemental informational
purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for or
superior to financial information presented in accordance with
GAAP, and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures
used by other companies.
The above items are excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA measure
because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount
and timing of these items are unpredictable, are not driven by core
results of operations, and render comparisons with prior periods
and competitors less meaningful. We believe Adjusted EBITDA
provides useful information to investors and others in
understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as
providing a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our
business performance. Moreover, Adjusted EBITDA is a key
measurement used by our management internally to make operating
decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluate
performance, and perform strategic planning and annual
budgeting.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss, which is
the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted
EBITDA:

Transaction-based revenues decreased by $11 million primarily
driven by the market environment, which had a negative impact on
the number of traders across all asset classes, and a decrease in
Notional Trading Volumes across cryptocurrencies and equities,
partially offset an increase in Options Contracts
Traded.
Options Contracts Traded was up 15%, while options DARTs decreased
from 0.7 million to 0.6 million and the number of users placing
option trades decreased 26%. Additionally, we experienced lower
option rebate rates due to reduced market volatility and the mix of
ticker symbols traded as different ticker symbols pay different
rebate rates.
Crypto DARTs decreased from 0.3 million to 0.2 million.
Additionally, the number of users placing cryptocurrency trades
decreased 38% and the average Notional Trading Volume traded per
trader decreased 25%. The decrease was partially offset by a higher
rebate rate from crypto market makers (increase was effective in
May 2022).
Equities DARTs decreased from 1.8 million to 1.6 million. The
number of users placing equity trades decreased 20% and the average
Notional Trading Volume per trader increased 3%. Additionally, we
experienced lower equity rebate rates due to reduced spreads in
securities pricing.

Net interest revenues increased by $153 million primarily due to
$67 million higher interest revenues earned from corporate cash and
investments, $44 million from segregated cash and cash equivalents
and deposits, $22 million from cash sweep, and $18 million from
margin interest. These increases were primarily driven by the
higher short term interest rate environment due to the rise in the
federal funds rate, which is an input to our floating margin rate
calculation and impacts the interest rate we receive on investable
assets. Net interest revenues from margin interest also increased
due to the higher interest rate while our Margin Book balance
declined year-over-year. Segregated cash and cash equivalents and
deposits as well as cash sweep balances increased year-over-year,
which also contributed to the higher net interest
revenues.

or expense generated by these assets, and their respective
