Flywire Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Third Quarter Revenue Increased 29.5% Year-over-Year
Third Quarter Revenue Less Ancillary Services Increased 31.4% Year-over-Year
Company Raises Full Year Outlook Before FX Impacts
Boston, MA November 7, 2023: Flywire Corporation (Nasdaq: FLYW) (Flywire or the Company) a global payments enablement and software company, today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2023.
We are pleased with our third quarter results, where we generated our highest quarter of revenue and adjusted EBITDA, ever, said Mike Massaro, CEO of Flywire. Our third quarter results were driven in part due to the ongoing optimization of our go-to-market strategy globally, where our sales and marketing teams continued to deliver new client wins and client expansions across all verticals. Our results were within our prior guidance range despite significant foreign exchange headwinds relative to when we previously provided our outlook.
Third Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights:
GAAP Results
| Revenue increased 29.5% to $123.3 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $95.2 million in the third quarter of 2022. |
| Gross Profit increased to $78.4 million, resulting in Gross Margin of 63.6%, for the third quarter of 2023, compared to Gross Profit of $61.3 million and Gross Margin of 64.4% in the third quarter of 2022. |
| Net income was $10.6 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to net (loss) of $(4.3) million in the third quarter of 2022. |
Key Operating Metrics and Non-GAAP Results
| Total Payment Volume increased 26% to $8.9 billion in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $7.0 billion in the third quarter of 2022. |
| Revenue Less Ancillary Services increased 31.4% to $116.8 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $88.9 million in the third quarter of 2022. Revenue Less Ancillary Services in the third quarter of 2023 was estimated to be unfavorably impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates between June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023 by approximately $1.4 million. |
| Adjusted Gross Profit increased to $80.1 million, resulting in Adjusted Gross Margin of 68.6% in the third quarter of 2023, compared to Adjusted Gross Profit of $62.6 million and Adjusted Gross Margin of 70.4% in the third quarter of 2022. Third quarter 2022 Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin have been recast to align with the updated methodology as described in the Key Operating Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below. |
| Adjusted EBITDA increased to $27.5 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $18.2 million in the third quarter of 2022. |
Recent Business Highlights:
| Acquired StudyLink to accelerate expansion in the Australian higher education market |
| Signed more than 185 new clients in the third quarter of 2023 |
| Signed the highest number of net new clients in the travel vertical in the third quarter |
| Third quarter 2023 was the highest quarter of revenue and adjusted gross profit ever for the Company |
| Completed a follow-on offering of 8,500,000 shares of voting common stock. The Company raised $260.1 million after underwriter discounts and commissions and issuance costs |
| Appointed Gretchen Howard, a former Fidelity, Google and Robinhood executive who brings deep operating experience, to its Board of Directors |
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal-Year 2023 Outlook:
We were very pleased with how we performed during the third quarter and believe that the 43% year-to-date growth rate in revenue less ancillary services reflects the strength of our business. As a result of this success, we are raising our Fiscal-Year outlook before FX impacts, said Mike Ellis, CFO of Flywire. Specifically, our updated outlook reflects the addition of $1.0 million attributable to the StudyLink acquisition and an additional $1.6 million in the fourth quarter related to underlying organic strength in our business. These factors are offset by an estimated $3.8 million in foreign exchange headwinds based on September 30, 2023 exchange compared to our prior guidance, of which $2.5 million was attributable to the fourth quarter of 2023.
Based on information available as of November 7, 2023, Flywire anticipates the following for the fourth quarter and fiscal-year 2023:
Fourth Quarter 2023* | ||
Revenue |
$91.5 to $96.5 million | |
Revenue Less Ancillary Services |
$86.5 to $90.5 million | |
Adjusted EBITDA** |
$1.0 to $4.0 million |
Fiscal-Year 2023* | ||
Revenue |
$394.1 to $399.3 million | |
Revenue Less Ancillary Services |
$372.0 to $376.0 million | |
Adjusted EBITDA** |
$35.0 to $39.0 million |
* | The Company has assumed foreign exchange rates prevailing as of September 30, 2023. For supplemental information regarding the estimated effects of changes in foreign exchange rates between June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023 on the Companys updated outlook compared to prior outlook, see the section below entitled Supplemental Outlook Details. |
** | 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 Flywire 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 Flywires stock. |
These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. Refer to the Safe Harbor Statement below for information on the factors that could cause Flywires actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.
Conference Call
The Company will host a conference call to discuss third quarter 2023 financial results today at 5:00 pm ET. Hosting the call will be Mike Massaro, CEO, Rob Orgel, President and COO, and Mike Ellis, CFO. The conference call can be accessed live via webcast from the Companys investor relations website at https://ir.flywire.com/. A replay will be available on the investor relations website following the call.
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 Companys operating results by facilitating an enhanced understanding of the Companys 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. Flywires non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in Flywires 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 Companys 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 Companys payment-related services, which are the primary services it provides to its clients. Beginning with the quarter ended December 31, 2022, Flywire has excluded depreciation and amortization from the calculation of its adjusted Gross Profit, which it believes enhances the |
understanding of the Companys operating performance and enables more meaningful period to period comparisons. The Companys previously reported Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were recast to conform to the updated methodology and are reflected herein for comparison purposes. |
| 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) interest income, (iv) gain (loss) from the remeasurement of foreign currency, (v) indirect taxes related to intercompany activity, (vi) acquisition related transaction costs, if applicable, and (vii) 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 Companys 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. |
These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered as indicators of performance in isolation from or as a substitute the Companys revenue, gross profit, gross margin or net income (loss) 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 and Adjusted EBITDA 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 Flywires stock.

Exhibit 99.2 Q3 2023 Earnings Supplement November 7, 2023
Disclosures This presentation includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this presentation, including statements regarding Flywire’s ability to successfully implement Flywire’s business plan, future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and Flywire’s objectives for future operations, are forward -looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “plans,” “potential,” “seeks,” “projects,” “should,” “could” and “would” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward -looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Flywire has based these forward-looking statements largely on Flywire’s current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that Flywire believes may affect Flywire’s financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are described in the Risk Factors and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations sections of Flywire's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, which are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Additional factors may be described in those sections of Flywire’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, expected to be filed with the SEC in the fourth quarter of 2023. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward -looking events and circumstances discussed in this presentation may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events or performance. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of the future performance of the industries in which Flywire operates and the markets it serves are inherently imprecise and subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk. All financial projections contained in this presentation are forward -looking statements and are based on Flywire’s management’s assessment of such matters. It is unlikely, however, that the assumptions on which Flywire has based its projections will prove to be fully correct or that the projected figures will be attained. Flywire’s actual future results may differ materially from Flywire’s projections, and it makes no express or implied representation or warranty as to attainability of the results reflected in these projections. Investments in Flywire’s securities involve a high degree of risk and should be regarded as speculative. Certain information contained in this presentation relates to or is based on studies, publications, surveys and other data obtained from third-party sources and Flywire’s own internal estimates and research. While Flywire believes these third-party sources to be reliable as of the date of this presentation, it has not independently verified, and makes no representation as to the adequacy, fairness, accuracy or completeness of any information obtained from third-party sources. In addition, all of the market data included in this presentation involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and there can be no guarantee as to the accuracy or reliability of such assumptions. Finally, while Flywire believes its own internal research is reliable, such research has not been verified by any independent source. The information in this presentation is provided only as of November 7, 2023, and Flywire undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this presentation on account of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. This presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC rules. Flywire has provided a reconciliation of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, which is available in the Appendix. The company has not provided a quantitative reconciliation from forecasted adjusted EBITDA to forecasted GAAP net income (loss) or to forecasted GAAP income (loss) before income taxes, 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 the company's stock. 2

Glossary of Terms: Financial NRR - Net Revenue Retention Rate We calculate annual net dollar-based retention rate for a given year based on the weighted average of the quarterly net dollar-based retention rates for each quarter in that year. We calculate the quarterly net dollar-based retention rate for a given quarter by dividing the revenue we earned in that quarter by the revenue we earned from the same clients in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Our calculation of quarterly net dollar-based revenue rate for a given quarter only includes revenue from clients that were clients at the beginning of the corresponding quarter of the previous year. MR - Monetization Rate Monetization rate is the quotient of Revenue Less Ancillary Services divided by Total Payment Volume. TPV - Total Payment Volume We define total payment volume or “TPV” as the total amount paid to our clients on our payments platform in a given period. Transaction Revenue Consists of a fee based on the total payment volume processed through our payment platform and global payment network. The fee can vary depending on the geographic region in which our client and client’s customer resides, the payment method selected by our client’s customer and the currencies in which the transaction is completed on our solution. Fees received are reported as revenue upon the completion of payment processing transaction. Platform and Usage-Based Fee Revenue We earn revenue from many of our clients based on the amount of accounts receivable they collect through our platform. For these services, we are paid a platform and usage- based fee based on the total payment volume that our clients collect. We also earn revenue from clients’ customers when they enter into a payment plan and make actual payments against a payment plan in satisfying their obligation to our client. Additionally, we earn a subscription fee from some of our clients for their use of our payment platform. 114. ©Flywire Corporation 2022
