Insights
Observing Flywire's first quarter financial results for 2024, the company's revenue growth is notable. A 21% year-over-year growth in revenue depicts a robust expansion, which is also supported by a significant increase of 24% in Revenue Less Ancillary Services. This metric is particularly interesting, as it filters out the potentially volatile non-core revenue streams, presenting a clearer picture of the company's core business trajectory.
Despite these positive revenue figures, the company's net loss widened from $3.7 million to $6.2 million year-over-year, indicating that scaling operations are currently outpacing profitability. This might raise concerns among investors about the timeline for achieving net profitability. Their Total Payment Volume (TPV) increase of 23% is commendable and suggests a solid growth in processed transactions, underscoring an expanding market presence.
Furthermore, the adjusted EBITDA, which strips out non-cash expenses and other one-time items, showed a healthy rise, a positive indicator for operational efficiency. The company's outlook for FY 2024 shows they are maintaining top-line growth expectations. However, it's important to remain cautious regarding the adjusted second quarter guidance, taking into account the foreign exchange impacts and adjustments related to the Canadian education business.
The strategic business moves by Flywire, such as the integration with State Bank of India and the partnership with VTEX, signal a forward-thinking approach to market penetration, especially in high-growth regions like India and Latin America. These initiatives could serve as catalysts for future growth, tapping into large customer bases and expanding its global footprint.
The appointment of a new CFO, Cosmin Pitigoi, might lead to strategic financial shifts and reinvigorate investor confidence in the company's financial leadership. The strength in the travel vertical, noted by a record high of projected ARR, also suggests that Flywire is effectively capitalizing on a post-pandemic recovery in travel and education sectors.
However, the competitive landscape in the digital payments space is fierce and Flywire's ability to maintain and grow its client base in the face of this competition will be critical. The reported client growth to over 4,000 global clients underlines its competitive edge, but it will be essential to monitor client retention and lifetime value to assess long-term sustainability.
In the dynamic fintech sector, Flywire's product development and technology partnerships are key indicators of its potential to deliver shareholder value. The company's emphasis on the 'software drives value in payments' approach is intriguing as it aligns with the broader industry trend of software platforms enhancing financial services.
The collaboration with the State Bank of India to digitize education payments positions Flywire at the forefront of a digitization wave in one of the world's largest markets. Similarly, its partnership with VTEX showcases its capability to integrate its payment solutions into existing digital commerce infrastructures, possibly creating a seamless user experience which is vital for customer satisfaction and retention.
Such technological advancements and integrations may not only help in acquiring new customers but also in increasing the stickiness of Flywire's services among existing clients. Continuous innovation and integration with key players in the tech and finance sectors could help Flywire maintain its growth momentum in an industry where the pace of technological change is relentless.

Key Operating Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Flywire uses non-GAAP financial measures to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis. The Company believes that excluding certain items from its GAAP results allows management to better understand its consolidated financial performance from period to period and better project its future consolidated financial performance as forecasts are developed at a level of detail different from that used to prepare GAAP-based financial measures. Moreover, Flywire believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide its stakeholders with useful information to help them evaluate the Company’s operating results by facilitating an enhanced understanding of the Company’s operating performance and enabling them to make more meaningful period to period comparisons. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented here. Flywire’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in Flywire’s industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
Flywire uses supplemental measures of its performance which are derived from its consolidated financial information, but which are not presented in its consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include the following:
- Revenue Less Ancillary Services. Revenue Less Ancillary Services represents the Company’s consolidated revenue in accordance with GAAP after excluding (i) pass-through cost for printing and mailing services and (ii) marketing fees. The Company excludes these amounts to arrive at this supplemental non-GAAP financial measure as it views these services as ancillary to the primary services it provides to its clients.
- Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin. Adjusted gross profit represents Revenue Less Ancillary Services less cost of revenue adjusted to (i) exclude pass-through cost for printing services, (ii) offset marketing fees against costs incurred and (iii) exclude depreciation and amortization, including accelerated amortization on the impairment of customer set-up costs tied to technology integration. Adjusted Gross Margin represents Adjusted Gross Profit divided by Revenue Less Ancillary Services. Management believes this presentation supplements the GAAP presentation of Gross Margin with a useful measure of the gross margin of the Company’s payment-related services, which are the primary services it provides to its clients.
- Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA further adjusted by excluding (i) stock-based compensation expense and related payroll taxes, (ii) the impact from the change in fair value measurement for contingent consideration associated with acquisitions,(iii) gain (loss) from the remeasurement of foreign currency, (iv) indirect taxes related to intercompany activity, (v) acquisition related transaction costs, if applicable, and (vi) employee retention costs, such as incentive compensation, associated with acquisition activities. Management believes that the exclusion of these amounts to calculate Adjusted EBITDA provides useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s business.
- Revenue Less Ancillary Services at Constant Currency. Revenue Less Ancillary Services at Constant Currency represents Revenue Less Ancillary Services adjusted to show presentation on a constant currency basis. The constant currency information presented is calculated by translating current period results using prior period weighted average foreign currency exchange rates. Flywire analyzes Revenue Less Ancillary Services on a constant currency basis to provide a comparable framework for assessing how the business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations.
- Non-GAAP Operating Expenses - Non-GAAP Operating Expenses represents GAAP Operating Expenses adjusted by excluding (i) stock-based compensation expense and related payroll taxes, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) acquisition related transaction costs, if applicable, (iv) employee retention costs, such as incentive compensation, associated with acquisition activities and (v) the impact from the change in fair value measurement for contingent consideration associated with acquisitions.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered as indicators of performance in isolation from or as a substitute for the Company’s revenue, gross profit, gross margin, net income (loss) or operating expenses prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis. Reconciliations of Revenue Less Ancillary Services, Revenue Less Ancillary Services at Constant Currency, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Operating Expenses to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure are presented below. Flywire encourages you to review these reconciliations in conjunction with the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures for each of the periods presented. In future fiscal periods, Flywire may exclude such items and may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items. Flywire has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted Adjusted EBITDA to forecasted GAAP net income (loss) or to forecasted GAAP income (loss) before income taxes within this earnings release because it is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to calculate certain reconciling items with confidence. These items include but are not limited to income taxes which are directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuations in the market price of Flywire's stock.
