(1) Net Cumulative Funded Accounts or NCFA
New Funded Accounts less Churned Accounts plus Resurrected Accounts (each as defined below). 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. 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. An account is considered a “Churned Account” 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. “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. Negative balances typically result from Fraudulent Deposit Transactions (as defined below) and unauthorized debit card use, and less often, from margin loans. “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. An account is considered a “Resurrected Account” 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.
(2) Monthly Active Users (“MAU”)
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 presented on this web page reflect MAU for the last month of the relevant period. 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.
(3) Assets Under Custody (“AUC”)
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.
(4) LTM Net Deposit Growth Rate
When used with respect to Net Deposits, "growth rate" provides information about Net Deposits relative to total AUC. "LTM Net Deposit Growth Rate" is calculated as aggregate Net Deposits over the last 12 months (“LTM”), divided by AUC for the fiscal quarter that immediately precedes the 12 month period.
