About Expensify: Business Model and Strategic Focus
Expensify offers software-as-a-service solutions designed to help businesses automate expense management, receipt tracking, and related payments. Its primary audience is small and medium-sized businesses, or SMBs, which are often underserved by traditional financial software tools. The company enables users to manage expenses from anywhere by integrating with accounting systems, travel booking platforms, and banking partners.
The business emphasizes simplicity, viral adoption, and quick onboarding. Its strategy centers on product-led growth, with features tailored to drive organic user expansion.

Quarter Highlights: Financial and Operational Developments
Expensify’s GAAP revenue increased 7% year-over-year. However, this growth missed consensus, coming in about 1.8% below analyst estimates. The number of paid members fell 5% year over year to 652,000, highlighting ongoing challenges in retaining or attracting users. Net loss widened significantly, reaching $8.8 million under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), compared to a $2.8 million loss a year prior. Non-GAAP earnings per share was a $0.02 loss. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure of operational profitability that adds back interest, taxes, depreciation, and non-cash expenses, also declined sharply—turning negative by $1.4 million versus a $10.2 million positive result in Q2 2024.
These profit declines were driven in part by a surge in sales and marketing expenses, which climbed to $14.3 million from $3.1 million (GAAP, Q2 2025 vs. Q2 2024). Gross margin (GAAP), which measures revenue after direct costs, declined in both dollars and percentage terms, dropping from 56.9% in Q2 2024 to 51.9% of revenue. While general and administrative spending increased slightly and research and development expenses declined, the sales and marketing ramp resulted in total operating expenses rising 55% compared to the year-ago period (Q2 2025 vs. Q2 2024, GAAP).
Free cash flow (non-GAAP)—a metric representing the cash generated after operating and capital expenses—was $6.3 million. Cash and equivalents ended the period at $60.5 million, as of June 30, 2025, strengthening the company’s balance sheet. Expensify also completed $3.0 million in share buybacks, repurchasing 1.29 million shares.
The Expensify Card expanded to 18 additional countries, and new integrations increased the number of supported banks by over 10,000, especially in new international regions. Multicurrency billing and ten-language support were rolled out, broadening focus beyond the company’s traditional U.S. customer base. Expensify Travel, its travel booking tool, also saw a 44% increase in bookings, although dollar revenues for this segment weren’t provided.
Outlook and What to Watch
Looking ahead, Expensify raised its free cash flow (non-GAAP) outlook for FY2025 to a range of $19.0 million to $23.0 million, up from the previous $17.0 million to $21.0 million range. Quarterly guidance for stock-based compensation, a non-cash expense tied to share-based pay, ranges from $5.2 million to $7.9 million in Q3 2025, with the upper end of the range declining in subsequent quarters through Q2 2026. Management did not provide explicit revenue or earnings guidance for the coming quarters.
Important areas to watch include paid member trends, gross margin movement, and whether new international and product launches begin to offset user churn. NASDAQ:EXFY does not currently pay a dividend.
