Expensify Announces Q4 and Full Year Fiscal 2025 Results

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 released a letter to shareholders from Founder and CEO David Barrett alongside results for its quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.

A Message From Our Founder

2025 was an extremely productive year. We continue to add cash to our debt-free balance sheet, with revenue, interchange, and card spend all up over 2024. But most exciting: New Expensify is now feature-complete for nearly all customers, rolled out to 63% of paying customers, and is the default for all new customers. While we are methodically “nudging” all of our Classic customers over to New Expensify, we are increasingly shifting our engineering focus toward new feature development, in three main areas:

• Bring your own card. We spent years building a modern spend management platform that offers a corporate card deeply integrated into all things Expensify. But many of our customers, and most of the market, still wants to use their existing corporate card. We’ve been investing heavily in bringing modern spend management functionality, like merchant-based rules, real time transaction import, and smart reconciliation, to customers who want to keep their card.

• Product-led growth. New Expensify’s radical design enables a wide range of “bottom up” features that enable individual employees to “crowdsource” their company’s configuration and collectively pressure their company to adopt. This was our primary lead source for growing Classic into a dominant position in the industry, and we are excited to reactivate this in a supercharged fashion atop New Expensify’s real-time platform.

• Accountable Intelligence. New Expensify’s chat-first design not only infuses AI into every expense, but is built to be truly “accountable”. In a market where every if/then statement is promoted as AI, our Concierge achieves what we feel is a higher level of intelligence by embodying three core principles:
  • Contextual: You don’t need to copy/paste, upload, or screenshot your data into a Concierge AI chat: just open a conversational thread directly on the card swipe, expense report, audit log, or error message you want to investigate. Concierge isn’t some “Clippy 2.0” on the outside looking in – Concierge is infused throughout every part of the UI, and you can talk to it anywhere, in any context, right on the thing you want to talk about.

  • Correctable: Concierge doesn’t just automate, it self-diagnoses and self-corrects when things go wrong. No more guesswork as to which combination of rules and configurations produced an unexpected result: Concierge can tell you directly, explain how you can fix it, and even just reconfigure itself to do it right the next time.

  • Continuous: Concierge won’t just react when you ask – it’ll be always working in the background to review your books, analyze trends, and monitor system health. From detecting unusual expense patterns to catching bank or accounting sync errors the moment they occur, Concierge can proactively flag issues and tell you exactly how to fix them before they become real problems.

We believe this AI-native design is unique in the marketplace and built to be viral, and its early form is already resonating with customers. Excitement has truly never been higher – especially in our sales and product teams – because this is the year we’ve been preparing for. To support this, we are pulling out all the stops (including setting a modest FCF target to free up resources for expected increased spend in sales, marketing, and AI) with the goal of moving from a “building” mindset back to the “growth” posture that established the leading brand we enjoy today. It has been a long and difficult road to get to this point, and we are eager to prove to everyone it was worth it.

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.

Free Cash Flow

Expensify estimates free cash flow of $6.0 million – $9.0 million for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation for free cash flow estimates on a forward-looking basis because it is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to provide a meaningful or reasonably accurate calculation or estimation of net cash provided by operating activities and certain reconciling items on a forward-looking basis, which could be significant to the Company’s results.

Stock Based Compensation

An estimate of expected stock-based compensation expense for the next four fiscal quarters is as follows, which is driven primarily by the pre-IPO grant of RSUs issued to all employees (which vest quarterly over eight years with approximately four years remaining).

Availability of Information on Expensify’s Website

Investors and others should note that Expensify routinely announces material information to investors and the marketplace using SEC filings, press releases, public conference calls, webcasts and the Expensify Investor Relations website at https://ir.expensify.com. While not all of the information that the Company posts to its Investor Relations website is of a material nature, some information could be deemed to be material. Accordingly, the Company encourages investors, the media and others interested in Expensify to review the information that it shares on its Investor Relations website.

Conference Call

Expensify will host a video call to discuss the financial results and business highlights at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time today. An investor presentation and the video call information is available on Expensify’s Investor Relations website at https://ir.expensify.com. A replay of the call will be available on the site for three months.

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, non-GAAP net (loss) income, and free cash flow.

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 loss excluding provision for income taxes, other income (expense), net, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation expense.

Non-GAAP net (loss) income. We define non-GAAP net (loss) income as net loss excluding stock-based compensation expense.

Free cash flow. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities excluding changes in settlement assets and settlement liabilities, which represent funds held for customers and customer funds in transit, respectively, reduced by the purchases of property and equipment and software development costs.

The tables at the end of the 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, future cash flow, projected costs, prospects, plans, objectives of management and expected market growth, product developments and their potential impact and our stock-based compensation estimates 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. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “shall,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “goal,” “ambition,” “objective,” “seeks,” “outlook,” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans, or intentions. 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 impact on inflation on us and our members; our borrowing costs, which have and may continue to increase as a result of increases in interest rates; 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 cash flows, the prevailing stock prices, general economic and market conditions and other considerations that could affect the specific timing, price and size of repurchases under our stock repurchase program or our ability to fund any stock repurchases; geopolitical tensions, including the war in Ukraine and the conflict in Israel, Gaza and surrounding areas; our ability to effectively manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; 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; any adverse impact on our business operations as a result of using artificial intelligence or other machine learning technologies in our services; 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 geopolitical uncertainty and instability, and their effects on software spending; our ability to protect against security incidents, technical difficulties, or interruptions to our platform; our ability to maintain, protect and enhance our intellectual property; the impact of tariffs and global trade disruptions on us, our customers and our vendors, including the impact on inflation, supply chains and consumer sentiment; 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.
