Forward Guidance

Robinhood anticipates recording a restructuring benefit of approximately $7–$19 million in the second quarter of 2022. They expect total operating expenses, excluding share-based compensation, for full year 2022 to increase by approximately 2%–5% year-over-year and share-based compensation to decline by approximately 42%–47% year-over-year.

Positive Outlook

  • Tax-advantaged retirement accounts remain on track, with the goal of providing early access to an initial set of customers later this year.
  • The company signed an agreement to acquire Ziglu Limited, which will help accelerate global expansion efforts.
  • Robinhood is focused on long-term investing, spending and savings.
  • Robinhood is helping customers move money faster.
  • Robinhood is opening up its crypto platform to customers internationally.

Challenges Ahead

  • Total operating expenses excluding share-based compensation will further increase by $17-$23 million due to cash restructuring and related charges.
  • GAAP total operating expenses for full year 2022 will further decrease due to a restructuring benefit of approximately $7-$19 million.
  • SBC for full year 2022 will further decrease by $30-$36 million resulting from reversals of previously recognized share-based compensation.
  • The company no longer intends to provide revenue guidance.
  • Actual results might differ materially from our outlook due to several factors, including the rate of growth in net new funded accounts which affects several costs including variable marketing costs
