Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use adjusted operating profit and adjusted operating expenses, both non-GAAP financial measures, to evaluate our operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.  Adjusted operating profit represents income (loss) from continuing operations, before income taxes, excluding share-based compensation expenses, and other expense (income), net.  Adjusted operating expenses represent total operating expenses, excluding share-based compensation expenses.

We believe that both adjusted operating profit and adjusted operating expenses help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses that we include in income from continuing operations, before income taxes, and total operating expenses. We believe that adjusted operating profit and adjusted operating expenses provide useful information about our operating results, enhances the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allows for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Adjusted operating profit and adjusted operating expenses should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to income from continuing operations, before income taxes, and total operating expenses or any other measure of performance or as an indicator of our operating performance. Investors are encouraged to compare the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Adjusted operating profit and adjusted operating expenses presented here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Other companies may calculate similarly titled measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures to our data. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Unaudited Reconciliations of Non-GAAP and GAAP Financial Measures” set forth at the end of this press release.

Definitions

“Customer assets” refer to the sum of the fair value of all equities, ETFs, options, warrants, futures, and cash held by customers in their Webull brokerage accounts, net of customer margin balances, as of the record date. While customer assets are significantly impacted by mark-to-market valuations of customers’ investments, we consider customer assets an important metric as growth in customer assets generally leads to an increase in trading volumes and revenue.

“DARTs” refers to daily average revenue trades, which is the number of customer trades executed during a given period divided by the number of trading days in that period. DARTs provide us information on how active our customers trade. A limitation of this metric is that it does not capture the size of the trade and revenue per trade varies significantly depending on size and type of trades.

“Equities notional volume” refers to the aggregate dollar value (purchase price or sale price as applicable) of trades executed over a specified period of time. Equity notional volume directly drives our equities trading revenue, as we earn payment for order flow or commissions for customers’ equities trades based on a percentage of notional value. However, equity notional volume is highly sensitive to market conditions in the short-term, which makes predicting our equity trading revenue with precision difficult.

“Funded accounts” refer to Webull brokerage accounts into which the customer has made an initial deposit or money transfer, of any amount, whose account balance (which is measured as the fair value of assets in the customer’s account less the amount due from the customer) has not dropped to or below zero for 45 consecutive calendar days as of the record date. Funded accounts reflect unique customers, and multiple funded accounts by a single customer are counted as one funded account. Growth in our funded accounts provides insight as to the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and our ability to acquire monetizable customers. Funded accounts are positively correlated with, but are not determinative, of customer assets, trading volumes, and revenue.

“Options contracts volume” refers to the total number of options contracts bought or sold over a specified period of time. Options contracts volume directly drives our options trading revenue, as we earn payment for order flow or commissions for customers’ options trades on a per contract basis. However, options contracts volume is highly sensitive to market conditions in the short-term, which makes predicting our options trading revenue with precision difficult.

“Registered users” refer to those users who have registered on our platform but not necessarily have opened a brokerage account with one of our licensed broker-dealers. Growth in our registered users provides insight as to the popularity of the Webull App. While we do not generate revenue from registered users who do not have brokerage accounts with us, registering an account on the Webull App is the first step toward opening and funding a brokerage account with us. 

Contra Revenue Impact

Most of our platform users are not considered customers under ASC 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), and promotional payments made to these platform users are accounted for as a marketing and branding expense. Conversely, for our platform users who have been determined to be customers under ASC 606, we account for these promotional payments as a reduction in revenue.  The following presents how contra revenue impacted our trade related revenues.

Statement regarding unaudited financial and operational information

The unaudited financial and operational information included in this press release is subject to potential adjustments and is based on the information available to management at this time. Potential adjustments to operational and consolidated financial information may be identified from work performed during Webull’s preparation of financial statements subsequently hereto or its year-end audit. Information may also be presented differently from the information included herein in the future. This could result in significant differences from the unaudited or other historical operational and financial information included herein. The financial information included in this press release does not reflect the closing of the previously announced business combination that occurred on April 10, 2025.

Designed for the evolving public sector landscape, Info-Tech Research Group’s blueprint offers federal CIOs actionable guidance for navigating change with stability. The resource from the global IT research and advisory firm emphasizes early intervention and resource alignment to sustain progress on key IT initiatives.

TORONTO, May 22, 2025 /CNW/ – As public sector IT departments enter a new phase of transformation, the role of strong, forward-thinking leadership has never been more vital. To support CIOs through this evolving phase, Info-Tech Research Group has released a new blueprint, Hold the Line to Drive Government IT Forward. The research-backed resource offers timely guidance to help government IT leaders maintain continuity, plan proactively, and deliver on mission-critical services.

The blueprint presents a practical four-step framework to help IT leaders anticipate change, align their teams, and take deliberate steps toward modernization. Tailored specifically for the government sector, the resource empowers CIOs to respond effectively to shifting priorities while reinforcing stability and long-term strategic value.

“Government CIOs play a pivotal role in guiding their departments through change,” says Patrick Spencer, research fellow at Info-Tech Research Group. “By staying proactive, engaging stakeholders early, and supporting their teams with the right strategies and resources, IT leaders can ensure continued progress while reinforcing the trust placed in their systems and services.”

The data-backed resource from Info-Tech Research Group details the current transitions underway in many federal IT departments, including workforce shifts and evolving funding timelines. In the research, Spencer emphasizes how leaders can use these changes as an opportunity to strengthen core capabilities, improve agility, and realign efforts toward high-impact initiatives.

To support this forward-looking approach, the blueprint outlines four key actions for CIOs:

Assess Risk: Create an integrated risk register to anticipate and manage operational concerns early. Understanding both the likelihood and impact of key risks allows CIOs to take timely, targeted steps to ensure uninterrupted service.Align Resources: Maintain visibility into internal capacity across talent, budget, and vendor commitments to stay agile. Aligning these resources proactively ensures continuity and enables faster response to shifting priorities.Plan Modernization: CIOs can advance modernization by focusing on achievable high-impact initiatives. This approach maintains momentum and supports long-term digital transformation.Execute Confidently: Reinforcing stability during change requires early action and clear communication. By supporting teams and emphasizing essential outcomes, CIOs can build resilience and demonstrate the lasting value of IT leadership.

The structured approach outlined in this resource provides public sector CIOs with a clear and practical path forward during times of change. By emphasizing early risk assessment, resource alignment, targeted modernization, and confident execution, the framework helps IT leaders strengthen organizational stability while continuing to deliver on mission-critical priorities.
