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.
• Interchange derived from the Expensify Card saw sequential quarterly growth of 40%, resulting in a 142% increase compared to the same period last year.
• Positive operating cash flows of $15.9 million.
• Net (loss) income was $(8.0) million, compared to $6.6 million for the same period last year. This loss was primarily driven by stock-based compensation expenses of $14.0 million.
  • Non-GAAP net income was $6.1 million.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $11.7 million, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 27%.

Business

• Paid members - a strong Q2 propelled quarterly paid members for the quarter to 754,000 compared to 706,000 in Q1.
• ExpensiCon - the third-ever, invite-only accounting retreat is returning May 2023, this time bringing industry thought-leaders to the legendary Borgo Egnazia in Puglia, Italy.
• Awards
  • Expensify’s employee-controlled compensation program earned two finalist spots as part of Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas Awards.
  • Expensify also won multiple workplace awards for 2022, with Fortune designating the company one of the best small workplaces and the San Francisco Chronicle ranking it one of the top workplaces in the Bay Area.

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:

Est. stock-based compensation (millions)

	Low			High			Low			High			Low			High
Cost of revenue, net	$	4.4		$	5.1		$	3.6		$	4.3		$	3.4		$	4.1

Accordingly, the Company encourages investors, the media and others interested in Expensify to review the information that it shares on its Investor Relations website.

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.

Forward-Looking Statements

Forward-looking statements in this press release, or made during the earnings call, which are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1955. These statements include statements regarding our strategy, future financial condition, future operations, projected costs, prospects, plans, objectives of management and expected market growth and involve known and unknown risks that are difficult to predict. As a result, our actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Such forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by us and our management, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: the economic, political and social impact of, and uncertainty relating to, the COVID-19 pandemic; the war in Ukraine and escalating geopolitical tensions as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine; our expectations regarding our financial performance and future operating performance; our ability to attract and retain members, expand usage of our platform, sell subscriptions to our platform and convert individuals and organizations into paying customers; the timing and success of new features, integrations, capabilities and enhancements by us, or by competitors to their products, or any other changes in the competitive landscape of our market; the amount and timing of operating expenses and capital expenditures that we may incur to maintain and expand our business and operations to remain competitive; the sufficiency of our cash, cash equivalents and investments to meet our liquidity needs; our ability to make required payments under and to comply with the various requirements of our current and future indebtedness; our ability to effectively manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; the increased expenses associated with being a public company; the size of our addressable markets, market share and market trends; anticipated trends, developments and challenges in our industry, business and the highly competitive markets in which we operate; our expectations regarding our income tax liabilities and the adequacy of our reserves; our ability to effectively manage our growth and expand our infrastructure and maintain our corporate culture; our ability to identify, recruit and retain skilled personnel, including key members of senior management; the safety, affordability and convenience of our platform and our offerings; our ability to successfully defend litigation brought against us; our ability to successfully identify, manage and integrate any existing and potential acquisitions of businesses, talent, technologies or intellectual property; general economic conditions in either domestic or international markets, including the societal and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and geopolitical uncertainty and instability; our protections against security breaches, technical difficulties, or interruptions to our platform; our ability to maintain, protect and enhance our intellectual property; and other risks discussed in our filings with the SEC. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth above. We caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are made only as of the date of this press release. We do not undertake or assume any obligation to update publicly any of these forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, new information or future events, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking statements, except to the extent required by applicable law. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
