Interchange revenue derived from the Expensify Card grew to $5.9 million, an increase of 12% as compared to the same period last year.

Expensify, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXFY), the easiest way to manage expenses, corporate cards, and travel, today released a letter to shareholders from Founder and CEO David Barrett alongside results for its quarter ended June 30, 2026.

A Message From Our Founder

This is the most exciting quarter in years, as we are finally able to pull back the curtain on New Expensify's growth. To set the stage, recall that Expensify is not just one product, but two:

• Expensify Classic is what established us in the market, and – I think is fair to say – established the standard by which everyone else in the industry is currently being measured: credit card import into a mobile app that scans, categorizes, and reconciles receipts, powered by a robust workflow engine that automatically submits, approves, reimburses, and exports to third party systems. Even though we were the first, everyone else in the industry has largely copied this design. This defined the first twelve or so years of Expensify's life, up to IPO.
• New Expensify is a complete redesign (and major rewrite) based on the sobering realization that no matter how good we made Expensify Classic, it would never appeal to more than a tiny fraction of the global market. Of the 300 million businesses in the world – all of which manage expenses (because you get expenses long before you get revenue) – less than 1% (and closer to 0.1%) has ever paid us or any of our competition. To break out of this tiny corner of a vast market, we needed to radically rethink our product.

These are essentially two different businesses intertwined into one: they share the same servers, the same data, and a lot of the same code. They are both built and maintained by the same team, and to a very large degree, are used by the same customers: most can switch back and forth freely between them, and many do. However, users behave very, very differently on each – and each provides a completely different benefit to our business.

Expensify Classic is a reliable, profitable workhorse: with minimal investment, it has generated steady for us from a stable but slowly shrinking customer base. Expensify Classic is a "fixed" pool of customers: you can't sign up for Expensify Classic today, so it's a pool that will naturally drain. Every business has some nonzero amount of churn, and that churn will gradually reduce our Classic customer base over time.

This has allowed us to pour our efforts into building and growing New Expensify, which is growing very quickly. We'll talk about this more on the earnings call, but revenue from net new customers – meaning, customers who have signed up on New Expensify and have never seen or used Classic – has grown by over 250% year-over-year, to over $10 million ARR across over 10,000 new customers. This is exclusive of Classic customers who have switched to New (which at this point, is most of them).

In my opinion, the conclusion to draw from this is that Expensify isn't a sleepy, low-growth company. Rather, it is the combination of:

• A large, robust, traditional Expensify Classic product that requires minimal maintenance but generates stable cashflow, most of which is being invested into building…
• A small, innovative, and quickly growing New Expensify product that aims to capture a market 10-100x larger than our traditional product ever could.

We feel either of these alone should be reasonably valued higher than the current business is being today – and the sum of the two should be valued even higher still.

Based on that conviction, we attempted to repurchase $25 million of Class A common stock using a modified Dutch auction tender offer, and successfully repurchased 6.1 million shares of Class A common stock at $1.20 per share. (The tender was substantially undersubscribed despite the premium offered on the share price.) We then purchased approximately 712,000 additional shares, for $1.2 million, bringing the total Q2 repurchase to 6.8 million shares of Class A common stock, representing a ~7% reduction in shares outstanding.

We still have a long road ahead of us, and our path back to sustained growth depends on how effectively we:

• Retain and expand our Classic customers by migrating the last of them onto New Expensify, where they can benefit from a dramatically improved experience for both traditional and modern agentic workflows, and…
• Continue accelerating new customer acquisition by scaling both lead generation and high-velocity self-service sales in this large, untapped market.

This isn't a new story. It's the same story we told at IPO, and on every earnings call since. This isn't a new market: it's the same market that's been there all along.

All that's new is (I feel) we have increasingly solid evidence the plan is going to work – and though I never doubted it, it's extremely exciting to see it play out in practice.

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 $12.0 million - $14.0 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 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 three 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.

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 (benefit from) income taxes, other income, net, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation expense.

Non-GAAP net income (loss). We define non-GAAP net income (loss) 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, net and settlement liabilities, reduced by the purchases of property and equipment and software development costs.

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 1995. 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.

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 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 meet the Nasdaq continued listing requirements for minimum bid price or other Nasdaq listing requirements and the potential delisting of our common stock; 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 the Middle East; 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.
