Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Robinhood Markets, Inc. (the “Company’) is working to resolve certain historical legal and regulatory matters, as it most recently disclosed in Note 16 to its Form 10-Q filed on August 3, 2023 (the “Q2 2023 10-Q”). As part of these efforts, the Company currently expects to accrue an expense of approximately $100 million in the third quarter of 2023 related to these previously disclosed matters. This expense was not included in the Company's latest 2023 GAAP total operating expenses outlook of $2,330 - 2,410 million disclosed on August 2, 2023. At this time, the Company is not providing an updated expense outlook but expects to do so when it reports results for the third quarter of 2023.

The information furnished with Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report contains forward-looking statements, including with respect to our currently expected accrued expense in the third quarter of 2023 related to certain historical legal and regulatory matters. 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 Current Report. Factors that contribute to the uncertain nature of our forward-looking statements include, among others, the possibility of adverse developments in such historical legal and regulatory matters. 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 Part II, Item 1A of the Q2 2023 10-Q as well as our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), which are available on the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. Except as otherwise noted, all forward-looking statements are made as of the filing date of this Current Report and are based on information and estimates available to us at this time. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update any of the statements in this Current Report whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances, or otherwise. You should read this Current Report with the understanding that our actual future results, performance, events, and circumstances might be materially different from what we expect.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
