EXPENSIFY ANNOUNCES Q2 2022 RESULTS

The company experienced its strongest quarter for paid member growth to date, generated year-over-year interchange growth from the Expensify Card of 142% and saw positive operating cash flow of $15.9 million for the quarter.

Expensify, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXFY), a payments superapp that helps individuals and businesses around the world simplify the way they manage money across expenses, corporate cards and bills, today announced results for its quarter ended June 30, 2022.

“Our paid member count has fully rebounded and currently exceeds pre-pandemic levels, so there’s a lot to be excited about,” said David Barrett, Expensify’s founder and CEO. “We’re also doubling down on accounting partnerships – one of our most successful sales channels – by introducing dedicated partner managers and bringing back our invite-only accounting retreat, ExpensiCon, next May 2023. Not only has every ExpensiCon paid for itself many times over from the resulting subscription increases, it’s also a big cultural moment for the accounting industry and supercharges the activity we see in that channel.”

“We delivered great results this quarter anchored by an increase in subscription revenue and Expensify Card interchange,” says Ryan Schaffer, Expensify’s CFO. “The strength the business is experiencing right now can also be seen in our positive operating cash flow of $15.9 million. We’re excited by the momentum we’re seeing in the business despite the challenging climate as we continue to offer and improve upon the most effective solution to serve all small businesses.”

Second Quarter 2022 Highlights

Financial:

• Revenue was $43.2 million, an increase of 22% compared to the same period last year.

Financial Outlook

Expensify's outlook statements are based on current estimates, expectations and assumptions and are not a guarantee of future performance. The following statements are forward-looking and actual results could differ materially depending on market conditions and the factors set forth under “Forward-Looking Statements” below. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve the results expressed by this guidance.

We reaffirm our long term guidance provided in connection with our fourth quarter 2021 results of 25-35% revenue growth over a multi-year period.

Expensify is also providing an estimate on what stock based compensation is expected to look like for the rest of the fiscal year. Driven primarily by the pre-IPO grant of RSUs issued to all employees (which vest over 8 years – 1/8 after one year and quarterly thereafter), stock based compensation is estimated as seen below:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we provide certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income.

We believe our non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our business, measuring our performance, identifying trends affecting our business, formulating business plans and making strategic decisions. Accordingly, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations in the same manner as our management team. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly titled metrics or measures presented by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for financial information presented under GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures versus comparable financial measures determined under GAAP. For example, other companies in our industry may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance. All of these limitations could reduce the usefulness of these non-GAAP financial measures as analytical tools. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and to not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. A reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP is at the end of this press release.

Adjusted EBITDA. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income from operations excluding provision for income taxes, interest and other expenses, net, depreciation and amortization and stock based compensation.

Adjusted EBITDA margin. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue for the same period.

Non-GAAP net income. We define non-GAAP net income as net income from operations in accordance with US GAAP excluding stock-based compensation and IPO-related bonus costs. Prior to the four quarter of 2021, this metric only excluded IPO-related bonus costs and did not exclude expenses related to stock-based compensation. However, management now believes that further excluding stock-based compensation from non-GAAP net income is useful to better understand the financial performance of our business and to facilitate a better comparison of our results to those of peer companies over multiple periods given that this item may vary between companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. IPO-related bonus costs impacted the second, third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2021 but did not impact the first or second quarters of 2022 and are not expected to impact future periods.

Non-GAAP net income margin. We define non-GAAP net income as non-GAAP net income divided by total revenue for the same period.

The tables at the end of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements provide reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to each of these non-GAAP financial measures.
