REMITLY GLOBAL, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)

1.    Organization and Description of Business
Description of Business
Remitly Global, Inc. (the “Company” or “Remitly”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware in October 2018 and is headquartered in Seattle, Washington, with various other global office locations. Remitly was founded and incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2011 under the name of Remitly, Inc., and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Remitly Global, Inc.
Remitly is a leading digital financial services provider for immigrants and their families in over 170 countries, helping customers send money internationally in a quick, reliable, and more cost-effective manner, by leveraging digital channels and supporting cross-border transmissions across the globe.
Unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “Remitly” and the “Company” within these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements refer to Remitly Global, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
2.    Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The year-end data within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP and therefore the information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the historical audited annual consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to state fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, and cash flows for the interim periods. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023, or for any other future annual or interim period.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Remitly Global, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed within the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition including the treatment of sales incentive programs, reserves for transaction losses, stock-based compensation expense, the carrying value of operating lease right-of-use assets, the recoverability of deferred tax assets, capitalization of software development costs, goodwill, and the recoverability of intangible assets. The key assumptions applied for value of the intangible assets include forecasted revenue and growth rates for a hypothetical market participant, selected discount rates, as well as migration curves for developed technology. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on assumptions that management considers reasonable. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, and these differences could be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, disbursement prefunding, restricted cash, and customer funds receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balances that may exceed the insured limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In addition, the Company funds its international operations using accounts with institutions in the major countries where its subsidiaries operate. The Company also prefunds amounts which are held by its disbursement partners, which are typically located in India, Mexico, and the Philippines. The Company has not experienced any significant losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents, disbursement prefunding, restricted cash, or customer funds receivable in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, no individual customer represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenues or the Company’s customer funds receivable.

7

Restricted Cash
The Company has relationships with certain payment processors that are responsible for processing the Company’s incoming customer payments. These processors require the Company to maintain certain restricted cash balances as collateral throughout the term of the processor arrangement. In addition, the Company may be required to maintain restricted cash as a result of other contractual arrangements with vendors and partners. Restricted cash is classified within ‘Prepaid expenses and other current assets and ‘Other noncurrent assets, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, based on its contractual terms. Prior year amounts have been reclassified on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to conform to the current year presentation.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the acquisition date fair value of net assets, including the amount assigned to identifiable intangible assets, acquired in a business combination. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that impairment may have occurred. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount. The Company considers factors in performing a qualitative assessment, including, but not limited to, general macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, company financial performance, changes in strategy, and other relevant entity-specific events. If the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment or does not pass the qualitative assessment, a quantitative assessment is performed. The quantitative assessment compares the carrying value to the fair value of goodwill, with the difference representing an impairment loss.
Advertising
Advertising expenses are charged to operations as incurred and are included as a component of ‘Marketing expenses’ within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Advertising expenses are used primarily to attract new customers. Advertising expenses totaled $48.3 million and $34.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Advertising expenses totaled $123.5 million and $105.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with finite lives primarily consist of developed technology, customer relationships, and trade names acquired through business combinations or asset acquisitions. Intangible assets acquired through business combination are recorded at their respective estimated acquisition date fair value and amortized over their estimated useful lives. Other intangible assets acquired through asset acquisitions are recorded at their respective cost. Intangible assets are amortized using a method that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are expected to be realized over their estimated useful lives, or straight-lined if not materially different.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company assesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If any indicators of impairment are present, the Company tests recoverability. The carrying value of a long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable if the carrying value exceeds the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated from the use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the asset or asset group’s carrying amount, then an impairment loss is recorded, measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group exceeds its estimated fair value.
Severance and Other Related Expenses
The Company records severance-related expenses based on the applicable accounting guidance and whether the severance relates to an ongoing benefit arrangement or relates to a one-time involuntary benefit arrangement. Ongoing benefit arrangements, including statutorily-required notice periods, are recorded when both probable of being paid and estimable. One-time involuntary benefit arrangements and other associated costs are generally recognized when a liability is incurred. The Company also evaluates whether these costs are associated with restructuring activities. Severance costs are expensed within the appropriate Costs and expenses component within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and associated accruals are recorded within 'Accrued expenses and other liabilities.'

8

Out-of-Period Adjustment
The condensed consolidated financial statements include an adjustment of $4.4 million to stock-based compensation expense and additional paid-in capital, to correct for an error identified by management during the preparation of the prior period’s financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This adjustment is to reflect the straight-lining of expense over the full service period for graded-vested stock-based compensation awards under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, and relates to prior annual fiscal periods. Management has determined that this error was not material to the historical financial statements in any individual period or in the aggregate and did not result in the previously issued financial statements being materially misstated. Additionally, although the impact to the three months ended June 30, 2022 was considered material, the impact to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and full year 2022 results is not material. As such, management recorded the correction as an out-of-period adjustment in the three months ended June 30, 2022, as disclosed in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Substantially all of the cumulative adjustment was related to stock-based compensation for personnel who support the Company’s general and administrative functions and was recorded to ‘General and administrative expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, except as noted above.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2021-08”). ASU 2021-08 will require companies to apply the definition of a performance obligation under ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from contracts with customers” (“Topic 606”) to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities relating to contracts with customers that are acquired in a business combination. Under current GAAP, an acquirer generally recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, including contract assets and contract liabilities arising from revenue contracts with customers, at fair value on the acquisition date. ASU 2021-08 will result in the acquirer recording acquired contract assets and liabilities on the same basis that would have been recorded by the acquiree before the acquisition under Topic 606. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for public entities and December 15, 2023 for all other entities, with early adoption permitted. The Company assessed the impact of the guidance to its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and concluded that the standard did not have a material impact on its financial statements.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
There are other new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB that the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable. The Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements have had, or will have, a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
3.    Revenue    
The Company’s primary source of revenue is generated from its remittance business. Revenue is earned from transaction fees charged to customers and the foreign exchange spreads earned between the foreign exchange rate offered to customers and the foreign exchange rate on the Company’s currency purchases. Revenue is recognized when control of these services is transferred to the Company’s customers, which is the time the funds have been delivered to the intended recipient in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for services provided. The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which includes the following steps:
(1)identification of the contract with a customer;
(2)identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
(3)determination of the transaction price;
(4)allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
(5)recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

9

Customers engage the Company to perform one integrated service — collect the customer’s money and deliver funds to the intended recipient in the currency requested. Payment is generally due from the customer upfront upon initiation of a transaction, when the customer simultaneously agrees to the Company’s terms and conditions.
Revenue is derived from each transaction and varies based on the funding method chosen by the customer, the size of the transaction, the currency to be ultimately disbursed, the rate at which the currency was purchased, the disbursement method chosen by the customer, and the countries to which the funds are transferred. The Company’s contract with customers can be terminated by the customer without a termination penalty up until the time the funds have been delivered to the intended recipient. Therefore, the Company’s contracts are defined at the transaction level and do not extend beyond the service already provided.
The Company’s service comprises a single performance obligation to complete transactions for the Company’s customers. Using compliance and risk assessment tools, the Company performs a transaction risk assessment on individual transactions to determine whether a transaction should be accepted. When the Company accepts a transaction and processes the designated payment method of the customer, the Company becomes obligated to its customer to complete the payment transaction, at which time a receivable is recorded, along with a corresponding customer liability. None of the Company’s contracts contain a significant financing component.
The Company recognizes transaction revenue on a gross basis as it is the principal for fulfilling payment transactions. As the principal to the transaction, the Company controls the service of completing payments on its payment platform. The Company bears primary responsibility for the fulfillment of the payment service, is the merchant of record, contracts directly with its customers, controls the product specifications, and defines the value proposition of its services. The Company is also responsible for providing customer support. Further, the Company has full discretion over determining the fee charged to its customers, which is independent of the cost it incurs in instances where it may utilize payment processors or other financial institutions to perform services on its behalf. These fees paid to payment processors and other financial institutions are recognized as ‘Transaction expenses’ within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company does not have any capitalized contract acquisition costs.
Deferred Revenue
The deferred revenue balances from contracts with customers were as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:
Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,

Deferred revenue, end of the period889 1,122 889 1,122 
Revenue recognized from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period$296 $449 $735 $602 
Deferred revenue represents amounts received from customers for which the performance obligations are not yet fulfilled. Deferred revenue is primarily included within ‘Accrued expenses and other current liabilities’ on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as the performance obligations are expected to be fulfilled within the next year.
Sales Incentives
The Company provides sales incentives to customers in a variety of forms, including promotions, discounts, and other sales incentives. Evaluating whether a sales incentive is a payment to a customer requires judgment. Sales incentives determined to be consideration payable to a customer or paid on behalf of a customer are accounted for as reductions to revenue, up to the point where net historical cumulative revenue, at the customer level, is reduced to zero. Those additional incentive costs that would have caused the customer level revenue to be negative are classified as advertising expenses and are included as a component of ‘Marketing expenses’ within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, referral credits given to a referrer are classified as ‘Marketing expenses,’ as these incentives are paid in exchange of a distinct service.

5.    Business Combinations
The Company completed its acquisition of Rewire (O.S.G) Research and Development Ltd. (“Rewire”) on January 5, 2023 by acquiring all outstanding equity interests of Rewire in exchange for cash and equity consideration, described below. The acquisition of Rewire allows the Company to accelerate its opportunity to differentiate the remittance experience with complementary products, by bringing together its remittance businesses in new geographies, along with a strong team that is culturally aligned with the Company.
The acquisition meets the criteria to be accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). This method requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date and that the difference between the fair value of the consideration paid for the acquired entity and the fair value of the net assets acquired be recorded as goodwill, which is not amortized but is tested at least annually for impairment.
Consideration Transferred
The estimated acquisition date fair value of consideration transferred for the acquisition totaled $77.9 million, as follows:
(in thousands)Amount
Cash paid to selling shareholders$56,398 
Equity issued to selling shareholders, including replacement of equity awards attributable to pre-combination services7,216 
Holdback liability to be settled in cash and Company equity11,899 
Effective settlement of pre-existing net receivable owed to the Company2,401 
Total consideration transferred$77,914 
The fair value of equity was determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to acquisition, and includes 694,918 shares issued in Company common stock, inclusive of 104,080 shares which are subject to service-based vesting conditions over a two-year period. Approximately $0.6 million of these proceeds were accounted for as pre-combination expense, and included within the total consideration transferred noted above, with the remaining $0.9 million to be recognized as post-combination share-based compensation expense over the requisite service period. The equity issued excludes 133,309 shares and restricted stock units held back and not legally issued at acquisition date, as further discussed below.
Approximately $11.9 million of the cash and equity proceeds were held back to satisfy any necessary adjustments, including without limitation, indemnification claims related to general representations and warranties, and any net working capital adjustments. The majority of this holdback is expected to be settled in cash, and the remainder in Company common stock and restricted stock units, which approximated 133,309 shares held back and not legally issued at acquisition date. Such amounts will be settled after a 15-month holdback period, net of any amounts necessary to satisfy all unsatisfied or disputed claims for indemnification and net working capital adjustments. As of the acquisition date, this represented approximately $10.4 million in cash and $1.5 million in equity, as discussed above, issuable at the end of the holdback period in Company common stock, subject to the aforementioned adjustments.

12

Included in consideration transferred is the settlement of a pre-existing net receivable owed to the Company by Rewire, which was effectively settled and became intercompany arrangements as of the closing of the transaction. Excluding the impact of the outstanding net receivable owed to the Company by Rewire, the Company would have paid $2.4 million more for the business at closing, and therefore the GAAP purchase price reflects an increase in that amount. The settlement of pre-existing relationships between the Company and Rewire did not result in any material gain or loss.
Holdback Liability
The holdback of cash and equity proceeds discussed above was recorded at its acquisition date fair value and was classified as a liability within ‘Other noncurrent liabilities’ on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at the acquisition date. The portion of the holdback to be settled in Company shares continues to be recorded at its fair value through its settlement date, with changes recorded to earnings. The estimated fair value of the portion of the holdback liability that will be settled in equity uses both observable and unobservable inputs, specifically considering the price of the Company’s common stock, as well as the probability of payout at the end of the holdback period, and is considered a Level 3 measurement, as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). As of September 30, 2023, the holdback liability was recorded within ‘Accrued expenses and other current liabilities’ on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as the liability is set to be fulfilled within twelve months of the balance sheet date.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $0.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively, to reflect the change in the fair value of the holdback liability, recorded within ‘General and administrative expenses’ within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2023, the fair value of the holdback liability was $13.8 million, of which $10.4 million will be paid in cash and the remainder in equity.
Fair Value of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Rewire were recorded at their preliminary fair values as of the acquisition date and consolidated with those of the Company. Assigning fair market values to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of an acquisition requires the use of significant judgments regarding estimates and assumptions. The fair values of intangible assets were estimated using inputs classified as Level 3 under the income and cost approaches, including the multi-period excess earnings method for developed technology. The key assumptions in applying the income approach used in valuing the identified intangible assets include forecasted revenue and growth rates for a hypothetical market participant, selected discount rates, as well as migration curves for developed technology. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their acquisition-date fair values:
(in thousands)Purchase Price Allocation
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash$15,465 
Disbursement prefunding6,016 
Customer funds receivable, net3,423 
Prepaid expenses and other assets, net1,187 
Intangible Assets
Trade name1,000 
Customer relationships8,500 
Developed technology12,000 
Goodwill54,940 
Customer liabilities(3,075)
Advance for future deposits
(2,550)
Other assumed indebtedness(16,234)
Other liabilities, net(2,758)
Total consideration transferred$77,914 
As of September 30, 2023, the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Rewire is substantially complete except with respect to the finalization of certain assets and liabilities. These amounts may be further adjusted as management continues to gather and evaluate information about circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, and, as the resulting fair values of net assets acquired are finalized, such adjustments could be significant. The measurement period will not exceed 12 months from the date of acquisition.

13

The excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and is primarily attributable to the revenue and cost synergies expected to arise from the acquisition through continued geographic expansion and product differentiation, along with the acquired workforce of Rewire. Goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. The acquisition did not change the Company’s one operating segment.
Acquired Receivables
The fair value of the financial assets acquired include ‘Disbursement prefunding’ and ‘Customer funds receivable, net’, with a fair value of $6.0 million and $3.4 million, respectively, as disclosed above. The Company expects to collect substantially all of these receivables.
Transaction Costs
Transaction costs totaled $0.9 million and $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, which included $0.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively, for the change in the fair value of the holdback liability. Transaction costs totaled $1.8 million and $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Such costs are primarily related to the Company’s aforementioned acquisition of Rewire.
Other Disclosures
The results of Rewire have been included within the condensed consolidated financial statements since the date of the acquisition. Rewire’s ‘Revenue’ included within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations since the acquisition date was $3.2 million and $10.1 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Rewire’s ‘Net Loss’ included within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations since the acquisition date was $(10.0) million and $(28.2) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
Pro forma financial information has not been presented, as revenue and expenses related to the acquisition did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Had Rewire been acquired on January 1, 2022, the Company’s revenue and expenses would not have been materially impacted; however, the Company’s net loss would have increased during 2022. Significant pro forma adjustments include transaction costs and amortization of acquired intangibles, as discussed further above.
6.    Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
The goodwill recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2023 was attributable to the acquisition of Rewire completed within the period, including measurement period adjustments, as described further in Note 5. Business Combinations. There were no other adjustments to goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Intangible Assets
The components of identifiable intangible assets as of September 30, 2023 were as follows:
(in thousands)Gross Carrying AmountAccumulated AmortizationNet Carrying AmountWeighted Average Estimated Remaining Useful Life (in years)

Developed technology12,000 (1,800)10,200 4.3
Total$21,500 $(3,644)$17,856 
The acquired identified intangible assets have preliminary estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $1.2 million and $3.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
Identifiable intangible asset balances as of December 31, 2022 and related amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were immaterial.

Expected future intangible asset amortization as of September 30, 2023 was as follows:

Total$17,856 
7.    Fair Value Measurements
Except for the holdback liability related to the Rewire acquisition discussed in Note 5. Business Combinations, there were no financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
The carrying values of certain financial instruments, including disbursement prefunding, customer funds receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, customer liabilities, short-term debt, and long-term debt approximate their respective fair values due to their relative short maturities. If these financial instruments were measured at fair value in the financial statements, they would be classified as Level 2.
8.    Debt
Secured Revolving Credit Facility
New Revolving Credit Facility
On September 13, 2021, Remitly Global, Inc. and Remitly, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Remitly Global, Inc., as co-borrowers, entered into a credit agreement (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”) with certain lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. acting as administrative agent and collateral agent, that provides for revolving commitments of $250.0 million (including a $60.0 million letter of credit sub-facility) and terminated its then-existing 2020 Credit Agreement. Proceeds under the New Revolving Credit Facility are available for working capital and general corporate purposes. The New Revolving Credit Facility was amended on June 26, 2023 to reflect changes as a result of the sunsetting of the LIBOR interest rate, as noted below. No other changes were made to the New Revolving Credit Facility. The Company evaluated the amendment as a debt modification pursuant to ASC 470-50, Debt — Modification and Extinguishment, noting no material impact. Unamortized debt issuance costs continue to be amortized over the term of the New Revolving Credit Facility.
The New Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of September 13, 2026. Borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest at a floating rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, (1) the Alternate Base Rate (defined in the New Revolving Credit Facility as the rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the NYFRB Rate in effect for such day plus 0.50% and (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for an interest period of one month plus 1.00% (subject to a floor of 1.00%) plus 0.50% per annum or (2) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (subject to a floor of 0.00%) plus 1.50% per annum. Such interest is payable (a) with respect to loans bearing interest based on the Alternate Base Rate, the last day of each March, June, September and December and (b) with respect to loans bearing interest based on the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, at the end of each applicable interest period, but in no event less frequently than every three months. In addition, an unused commitment fee, which accrues at a rate per annum equal to 0.25% of the unused portion of the revolving commitments, is payable on the last day of each March, June, September and December.
The New Revolving Credit Facility contains customary conditions to borrowing, events of default and covenants, including covenants that restrict the ability to dispose of assets, merge with other entities, incur indebtedness, grant liens, pay dividends or make other distributions to holders of its capital stock, make investments, enter into restrictive agreements, or engage in transactions with affiliates. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, financial covenants in the New Revolving Credit Facility include (1) a requirement to maintain a minimum Adjusted Quick Ratio of 1.50:1.00, which is tested quarterly and (2) a requirement to maintain a minimum Liquidity of $100.0 million, which is tested quarterly. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the New Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
The obligations under the New Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by the material domestic subsidiaries of Remitly Global, Inc., subject to customary exceptions, and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the borrowers and guarantors thereunder, subject to customary exceptions. Amounts of borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility may fluctuate depending upon transaction volumes and seasonality.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $47.5 million and $22.3 million, respectively, in issued, but undrawn, standby letters of credit. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had unused borrowing capacity of $202.5 million and $227.7 million, respectively, under the New Revolving Credit Facility.

Advance for Future Deposits
As part of the acquisition of Rewire, the Company assumed short-term indebtedness of Rewire that represents an advance for future deposits from Rewire’s amended agreement with one of its financial partners (the “Amendment” and the “Depositor,” respectively) entered into in October 2021. The Amendment has a maturity date of November 2023. The Depositor made an advance payment to Rewire with respect to future deposits (the “Advance for Future Deposits”). The original amount of 9.0 million Israeli shekel, approximately $2.8 million, was transferred as an advance under the Amendment. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $2.4 million outstanding under the Amendment and was included within ‘Short-term debt’ on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in the outstanding balance is driven by the change in the foreign exchange conversion rate. The Advance for Future Deposits bears a floating interest rate of 1.4%+ Israeli Prime per annum, paid on a monthly basis. The Israeli Prime rate is defined as the Bank of Israel rate + 1.5%. The weighted-average interest rate as of September 30, 2023 was 3.0%.
Assumed Short-term Debt of Rewire
As part of the acquisition of Rewire, the Company assumed the amounts due on a revolving credit line that Rewire had entered into in 2021 and the amounts due on a bridge loan that Rewire had entered into in 2022. The total outstanding amounts were repaid during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, along with certain other acquired indebtedness, subsequent to the Company’s acquisition of Rewire and was included within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as a financing activity.

Donation to Remitly Philanthropy Fund
In July 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved the reservation of up to 1,819,609 shares of common stock (which was approximately 1.0% of the fully diluted capitalization as of June 30, 2021) that the Company may issue to or for the benefit of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation or a similar charitable organization pursuant to the Company’s Pledge 1% commitment in installments over ten years. On September 10, 2021, the Company executed the stock donation agreement, pursuant to which it issued the first installment of the Pledge 1% commitment to Remitly Philanthropy Fund, a donor advised fund administered on the Company’s behalf by Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, Inc., on the day after consummation of the IPO.
The Company donated 181,961 shares of its common stock to Remitly Philanthropy Fund on both September 20, 2023 and September 28, 2022, pursuant to the stock donation agreement, and in connection with the Pledge 1% commitment, which publicly acknowledges the Company’s intent to give back and increase social impact, in order to sustainably fund a portion of its corporate social responsibility goals and further its mission to expand financial inclusion for immigrants. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded a charge of $4.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively, to ‘General and administrative expenses’ within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations based on the closing price of its common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “NASDAQ”) on September 20, 2023 and September 28 2022, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”)
The offering period that commenced on September 22, 2021, for which the accounting grant date was met in October 2021, ended on February 28, 2022, due to a decline in the Company’s stock price at the end of the purchase period, triggering a new offering period, as required by the ESPP plan documents. A new 24-month offering period commenced on March 1, 2022. This event was accounted for as a modification under GAAP in the first quarter of 2022, whereby the fair value of the ESPP offering was measured immediately before and after modification, resulting in incremental stock-based compensation expense of $3.6 million, which is being recognized over the new offering period, which is deemed to be the requisite service period. A new subsequent 24-month offering period commences on March 1 and September 1 of each fiscal year.
The fair value of the ESPP offerings described above were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as of the respective offering dates, using the following assumptions. These assumptions represent the grant date fair value inputs for new offerings which commenced during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, as well as updated valuation information as of the modification date for any offerings for which a modification occurred during the periods presented herein:

As of September 30, 2023, the total unamortized compensation cost related to all non-vested equity awards, including options and RSUs, was $314.2 million, which will be amortized over a weighted-average remaining requisite service period of approximately 2.7 years. As of September 30, 2023, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to the ESPP was $4.2 million, which is expected to be amortized over the next 1.9 years.
12.    Restructuring Initiatives
In the three months ended September 30, 2023, as a result of simplifying and scaling certain processes, functions, and team capabilities, the Company began implementing restructuring initiatives in order to better serve the Company's customers and allow the Company to grow and scale global operations. Restructuring costs incurred primarily included severance and certain other associated costs. These specific restructuring initiatives are expected to be substantially complete by the end this year.
The Company incurred charges of $1.4 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

13.    Related Party Arrangements
There were no significant related party transactions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
14.    Income Taxes
The Company computes its tax provision for interim periods by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date income from recurring operations and adjusting for discrete items arising in that quarter.
The Company’s effective tax rates on pre-tax income were (0.7)% and (0.9)% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and (0.6)% and (1.6)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% in both periods was primarily the result of foreign income taxed at different rates and changes in the U.S. valuation allowance.
In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a discrete income tax benefit related to excess stock-based compensation deductions.

19

The Company maintains a full valuation allowance against the U.S. net deferred tax assets, as it believes that these deferred tax assets do not meet the more likely than not threshold.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions, and internationally. As of September 30, 2023, tax years 2012 through 2022 remain open for examination by taxing authorities.
The Company has applied ASC 740, Income Taxes, and has determined that it has no uncertain tax positions both during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The Company recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties for any uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties are recorded as a component of income tax expense.
15.    Commitments and Contingencies
Guarantees and Indemnification
In the ordinary course of business to facilitate sales of its services, the Company has entered into agreements with, among others, suppliers and partners that include guarantees or indemnity provisions. The Company also enters into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors, and the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws include similar indemnification obligations to its officers and directors. To date, there have been no claims under any indemnification provisions; therefore, no such amounts have been accrued as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Litigation and Loss Contingencies
Litigation
From time to time, the Company may be a party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business, including intellectual property claims, labor and employment claims, threatened claims, breach of contract claims, and other matters. The Company accrues estimates for resolution of legal and other contingencies when losses are probable, as defined under GAAP, and estimable. Although the results of litigation and claims are inherently unpredictable, the Company does not believe that there was a reasonable possibility that it had incurred a material loss with respect to such loss contingencies as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Indirect taxes
The Company is subject to indirect taxation in various states and foreign jurisdictions in which it conducts business. The Company continually evaluates those jurisdictions in which indirect tax obligations exist to determine whether a loss is probable, as defined under GAAP, and the amount can be estimated. Determination of whether a loss is probable, and an estimate can be made, is a complex undertaking and takes into account the judgment of management, third-party research, and the potential outcome of negotiation and interpretations by regulators and courts, among other information. Such assessments include consideration of management’s evaluation of domestic and international tax laws and regulations, external legal advice, and the extent to which they may apply to the Company’s business and industry. The Company’s assessment of probability includes consideration of recent inquiries, potential or actual self-disclosure, and applicability of tax rules. As a result of this assessment, management accrued an estimated liability of approximately $4.3 million and $6.0 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, reflecting the amount that the Company believes is probable and estimable. The estimated liability is recorded within ‘Accrued expenses and other current liabilities’ on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Although the Company believes its indirect tax estimates and associated liabilities are reasonable, the final determination of indirect tax audits or settlements could be materially different than the amounts recorded.

Overview
Remitly is a leading digital financial services provider for immigrants and their families in over 170 countries around the world. The combination of our differentiated approach and our relentless focus on meeting the financial services needs of our immigrant communities has resulted in significant customer growth, high customer engagement, rapid send volume and transaction growth, and attractive customer economics built on top of an expansive global network.
Our brand promise is to bring “peace of mind” into everything we do. We focus on bringing trust, reliability, and a fair and transparent price to cross-border remittances and complementary financial services.
To deliver on our brand promise, we have a differentiated approach that aligns with the specific needs and interests of our customers and solves the problems immigrant communities often face in making remittances. There are four core elements to our differentiated approach:
Providing a Simple and Reliable Way of Sending Money with Our Mobile-Centric Suite of Products. As of September 30, 2023, our Remitly mobile app had a 4.9 iOS App Store rating with approximately 1.2 million reviewers and a 4.8 Android Google Play rating with over 690,000 reviewers. We have achieved this level of engagement and these high ratings by designing mobile-centric products that make the customer experience simple and convenient and give our customers complete peace of mind.
Our mobile app for cross-border remittances provides an easy-to-use, end-to-end process. In just a few minutes, customers are able to set up and send money for the first time with Remitly, and repeat transactions become easier with just a few taps. Our customers and their families can also track the status of their transactions in real time. This mobile-centric experience enables us to engage beyond the initial transaction, generating strong repeat usage and high customer loyalty.
Conveniently Putting Money Safely in the Hands of Our Customers’ Families, Wherever They Are, by Relying on Our Global Network. Our global network of funding and disbursement partnerships enables us to complete money transfers in approximately 4,900 corridors without the need to deploy local operations in each country. We are able to do this while complying with global and local licensing and regulatory requirements. A corridor represents the pairing of a send country, from which a customer can send a remittance, with a specific receive country to which such remittance can be sent. As a result of the quality of our network and the foundational investments we have made, in general, every new send country we add results in a significant number of new corridors, as we are able to quickly connect send countries with receive countries, allowing us to continue to scale rapidly.
Our disbursement options within our global network continue to grow and remain an important driver of customer loyalty. We have partner relationships with global banks and leading payment providers to give our customers an array of payment (or pay-in) options, including with a bank account, card-based payments, and alternative payment methods. Our disbursement network provides our customers with various digital and traditional delivery methods and enables us to send (or pay-out) funds to approximately 4.0 billion bank accounts, approximately 1.2 billion mobile wallets, and approximately 460,000 cash pickup locations. We focus on creating financial inclusion by providing payout optionality and access for recipients who do not always have convenient access to traditional banking. We believe our focus on financial inclusion creates peace of mind for our customers and their families while attracting and retaining loyal customers. We continue to believe the quality of our network and our focus on customer preference in disbursement options remain a competitive differentiator.
Creating Trusted and Personalized Experiences with Our Localization Expertise at Scale. We believe our expertise in localizing our marketing, products, and customer support at scale is a key differentiator and enables us to provide customers with a personalized experience that drives peace of mind. Localization can mean many things. To us, it means speaking with our customers in their preferred language, reaching them through the media channels they frequent, and being culturally relevant through their journey. While our business is global, we recognize the importance of a culturally relevant experience being delivered to our customers and their families in the many countries we serve. We strive to deliver marketing, product, and support experiences that connect with them in meaningful ways. For example, we tailor our customer experience with more than 15 native languages, and we provide peace of mind with our global customer support team. Additionally, for disbursement of funds, we partner with local brands that are among the most trusted and recognized by our customers and their families.

22


Using Our Data-Driven Approach to Better Serve Our Customers and Provide More Value. We have a data-driven approach to how we grow our business, prioritize our investments, and manage our operations. Because our customers initiate transfers digitally, we capture and leverage a body of transaction-related data that provides insight into customer behavior and customer experience. This data and the analytics we perform inform our marketing investments and product development prioritization. In addition, we leverage our data platform and proprietary models to improve our compliance systems and manage pricing, treasury, fraud risk, and customer support.
Acquisition of Rewire
On January 5, 2023, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Rewire (O.S.G) Research and Development Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“Rewire”), for approximately $77.9 million of aggregate consideration, the majority of which was or will be settled in cash, with the remaining consideration settled or to be settled in Remitly equity. The acquisition of Rewire allows us to accelerate our opportunity to differentiate the remittance experience with complementary products, by bringing together our remittance businesses in new geographies, along with a strong team that is culturally aligned with Remitly.
Our Revenue Model
For our remittance business, which represents substantially all of our revenue today, we generate revenue from transaction fees charged to customers and foreign exchange spreads applied to the amount the customer is sending.
Transaction fees vary based on the corridor, the currency in which funds are delivered to the recipient, the funding method a customer chooses (e.g., ACH, credit card, debit card, etc.), the disbursement method a customer chooses (e.g., bank deposit, mobile wallet, cash pick-up, etc.), and the amount the customer is sending.
Foreign exchange spreads represent the difference between the foreign exchange rate offered to customers and the foreign exchange rate on the Company’s currency purchases. They are an output of proprietary and dynamic models that are designed to provide fair and competitive rates to our customers, while generating a spread for the Company based on our ability to buy foreign currency at generally advantageous rates.
Revenue from transaction fees and foreign exchange spreads is reduced by customer promotions. For example, we may, from time to time, waive transaction fees for first-time customers, or provide customers with better foreign exchange rates on their first transaction. These incentives are accounted for as reductions to revenue, up to the point where net historical cumulative revenue, at the customer level, is reduced to zero. We consider these incentives to be an investment in our long-term relationship with customers.
Key Business Metrics
We regularly review the following key business metrics to evaluate our performance, identify trends affecting our business, prepare financial projections, and make strategic decisions. We believe that these key business metrics provide meaningful supplemental information for management and investors in assessing our historical and future operating performance. The calculation of these key business metrics discussed below may differ from other similarly titled metrics used by other companies, analysts, or investors. The key business metrics that we use to measure the performance of our business are defined as follows:
“Active customers” is defined as the number of distinct customers who have successfully completed at least one transaction using Remitly during a given calendar quarter. We identify customers through unique account numbers.
“Send volume” is defined as the sum of the amount that customers send, measured in U.S. dollars, related to transactions completed during a given period. This amount is net of cancellations, does not include transaction fees from customers, and does not include any credits, offers, or bonuses applied to the transaction by us.
As active customers are measured on a quarterly basis, the data for the full-year periods for active customers is not meaningful, and therefore this metric is only presented on a quarterly basis herein.
Active Customers
Three Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)20232022
Active customers5,409 3,818 
We believe that the number of our active customers is an important indicator of customer engagement, customer retention, and the overall growth of our business.
Active customers increased to approximately 5.4 million, or 42% growth, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of new customers, driven by investments in our mobile platform and efficient marketing spend, our focus on customer experience and how we serve our customers, expansion of our global disbursement network, and the continued diversification across both send and receive countries. While we continue to see strong results in our largest existing receive countries, our successful diversification of our corridor portfolio across both send and receive countries has contributed to new customer growth.

Send Volume
Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in millions)2023202220232022
Send volume$10,227 $7,521 $28,351 $20,579 
We measure send volume to assess the scale of remittances sent using our platform. Our customers mostly send from the United States, Canada, and other countries in Europe. Our customers and their recipients are located in over 170 countries and territories across the globe; the largest receive countries by send volume include India, Mexico, and the Philippines.
Send volume increased 36% to $10.2 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $7.5 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2022, driven by the increase in active customers.
Send volume increased 38%, to $28.4 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $20.6 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, driven by the increase in active customers.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
Customer Retention and High Customer Engagement
Our send volume is primarily driven by existing customers who regularly use our remittance product to send money home. We believe our mobile-first products and superior customer experience encourage high retention and repeat usage, which are significant though not the only drivers of our performance.
We measure active customers to monitor the growth and performance of our customer base. The majority of our active customers send money for recurring, non-discretionary needs multiple times per month, providing a recurring revenue stream with high visibility and predictability.
Attracting New Customers
Our continued ability to attract new customers to our platform is a key driver for our long-term growth. We continue to expand our customer base by launching new send and receive corridors, by continuing to innovate on existing and new products, and by providing the most trusted financial services for immigrants. We plan to continue to acquire new customers through digital marketing channels and word-of-mouth referrals from existing customers, and by exploring new customer acquisition channels. Given the nature of our business, new customer acquisition may negatively impact net loss and Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter they are acquired, but are expected to favorably impact net loss and Adjusted EBITDA in subsequent periods.
Customer Acquisition
Efficiently acquiring customers is critical to our growth and maintaining of attractive customer economics, which are impacted by online marketing competition, our ability to effectively target the right demographic, and competitor pricing. We have a history of successfully monitoring customer acquisition costs and will continue to be strategic and disciplined toward customer acquisition. For example, for performance marketing, we set rigorous customer acquisition targets that we continuously monitor to ensure a high return on investment over the long term, and we can increase or decrease this investment as desired. Customer acquisition costs refer to direct marketing expenses deployed to acquire new customers and primarily include digital advertising costs.
Corridor Mix
Our business is global and certain attributes of our business vary by corridor, such as send amount, customer funding sources, and transaction frequency. For example, a period of high growth in receive corridors with large average send amounts, such as India, could disproportionately impact send volume while impacting active customers to a lesser extent. While shifts in our corridor mix could impact the trends in our global business, including send volume and customer economics, we have the ability to optimize these corridors over the long term based on their specific dynamics.
Seasonality
Our operating results and metrics are subject to seasonality, which may result in fluctuations in our quarterly revenues and operating results. For example, active customers and send volume generally peak as customers send gifts for regional and global holidays including, most notably, in the fourth quarter around the Christmas holiday. This seasonality typically drives higher fourth quarter customer acquisition, which generally results in higher fourth quarter marketing costs and transaction losses. It also results in higher transactions and transaction expenses, along with higher working capital needs. Other periods of favorable seasonality include Ramadan/Eid, Lunar New Year/Tết, and Mother’s Day, although the impact is generally lower than the seasonality we see in the fourth quarter. Conversely, we typically observe lower customer acquisition and existing customer activity through most of the first quarter, especially in regions that experience favorable seasonality in the fourth quarter. The number of business days in a quarter and the day of week that the last day of the quarter falls on may also introduce variability in our results, working capital balances, or cash flows period over period.

24


Our Technology Platform
We will continue to invest significant resources in our technology platform. These investments will allow us to introduce new and innovative products, add features to current products, enhance the customer and recipient experience, grow our payment and disbursement network, invest in our risk and security infrastructure, and continue to secure data in accordance with evolving best practices and legal requirements. While we expect our expenses related to technology and development to increase, which may impact short-term profitability, we believe these investments will ultimately contribute to our long-term growth.
Management of Risk and Fraud
We manage fraud (e.g., through identity theft) and other illegitimate activity (e.g., money laundering) by utilizing our proprietary risk models, which include machine learning processes, early warning systems, bespoke rules, and manual investigation processes. Our models and processes enable us to identify and address complex and evolving risks in these unwanted activities, while maintaining a differentiated customer experience. In addition, we integrate historical fraud loss data and other transaction data into our risk models, which helps us identify emerging patterns and quantify fraud and compliance risks across all aspects of our customer interactions. These models and processes allow us to achieve and maintain fraud loss rates within desired guardrails, as well as tune our risk models to target other illegitimate activity.
Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Changes
Global macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, including inflation, currency fluctuations, immigration, trade and regulatory policies, the conflict in Ukraine, the conflict in Israel, global crises and natural disasters, unemployment, potential recession, and the rate of digital remittance adoption impact demand for our services and the options that we can offer. These factors evolve over time, and periods of significant currency appreciation or depreciation, whether in send or receive currencies, changes to global migration patterns, and changes to digital adoption trends may shift the timing and volume of transactions, or the number of customers using our service. In addition, foreign currency movements do impact our business in numerous ways. For example, as the U.S. dollar strengthens, we see customers in certain markets taking advantage of the ability to get more local currency to their families and friends. We also believe the strength of the U.S. dollar and the strength of other developed market currencies versus emerging market currencies make it easier to acquire new customers in certain markets. Conversely, expansion of our international business can negatively impact our condensed consolidated results when these currencies weaken against the U.S. dollar. As we grow we are becoming more diversified across geographies and currencies which can help mitigate some localized geopolitical risks and macroeconomic trends. As foreign currency can have a significant impact on our business, we strive to maintain a diversified cash balance portfolio and frequently assess for foreign currency cash concentrations. See Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a more comprehensive description of current business concentrations.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
The Company’s revenue is generated on transaction fees charged to customers and foreign exchange spreads between the foreign exchange rate offered to customers and the foreign exchange rate on the Company’s currency purchases. Revenue is recognized when control of these services is transferred to the Company’s customers, which is the time the funds have been delivered to the intended recipient in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for services provided.
Costs and expenses
Transaction Expenses
Transaction expenses include fees paid to disbursement partners for paying funds to the recipient, provisions for transaction losses, and fees paid to payment processors for funding transactions. Transaction expenses also include credit losses, chargebacks, fraud prevention, fraud management tools, and compliance tools. Over the long term we expect to continue to benefit from increasing scale and improvements in our proprietary fraud models, although we expect some variability in transaction expense from quarter to quarter.
Provisions for Transaction Losses
The Company is exposed to transaction losses, including chargebacks, unauthorized credit card use, fraud associated with customer transactions, and other non-fraud-related losses. The Company establishes reserves for such losses based on historical trends and any specific risks identified in processing customer transactions. This reserve is included in ‘Accrued expenses and other current liabilities’ on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The provision for transaction losses is included as a component of ‘Transaction expenses’ within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Customer Support and Operations
Customer support and operations expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses associated with the Company’s customer support and operations organization, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense, as well as third-party costs for customer support services, and travel and related office expenses. This includes our customer service teams which directly support our customers, consisting of online support and call centers, and other costs incurred to support our customers, including related telephony costs to support these teams, customer protection and risk teams, investments in tools to effectively service our customers, and increased customer self-service capabilities. Customer support and operations expenses also include professional services fees.
Marketing
Marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising costs used to attract new customers, including branding-related expenses. Marketing expenses also include personnel-related expenses associated with the Company’s marketing organization staff, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense, promotions, software subscription services dedicated for use by the Company’s marketing functions, and outside services contracted for marketing purposes.
Technology and Development
Technology and development expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses for employees involved in the research, design, development, and maintenance of both new and existing products and services, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense. Technology and development expenses also include professional services fees and costs for software subscription services dedicated for use by the Company’s technology and development teams, as well as other company-wide technology tools. Technology and development expenses also include product and engineering teams used to support the development of both internal infrastructure and internal-use software, to the extent such costs do not qualify for capitalization.
We believe delivering new functionality and improving existing technology is critical to attract new customers and expand our relationship with existing customers. We expect to continue to make investments to expand our solutions in order to enhance our customers’ experience and satisfaction, and to attract new customers.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses for the Company’s finance, legal, corporate and business development, human resources, facilities, administrative personnel, and other leadership functions, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation expense. General and administrative expenses also include professional services fees, software subscriptions, facilities, indirect taxes, and other corporate expenses, including acquisition and integration expenses. Such expenses primarily include external legal, accounting, valuation, and due diligence costs, advisory and other professional services fees necessary to integrate acquired businesses. See Note 5. Business Combinations in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense includes depreciation on property and equipment and leasehold improvements, as well as the amortization of internal-use software costs and amortization of intangible assets.
Interest Income
Interest income consists primarily of interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists primarily of the interest expense on our borrowings.
Other Income (Expense), net
Other income (expense), net, primarily includes foreign currency exchange gains and losses due to remeasurement of certain foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes consists primarily of income taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business and state income taxes in the United States. We maintain a full valuation allowance for U.S. deferred tax assets, which includes net operating loss carryforwards. We expect to maintain this full valuation allowance in the U.S. for the foreseeable future as it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized based on our history of losses.

Revenue increased $72.4 million and $217.0 million, or 43% and 47%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in active customers period over period, continued strength in the retention of existing customers and a continued mix shift trending towards digital disbursements. Revenue derived from each transaction varies based on a number of attributes, including the funding method chosen by the customer, the size of the transaction, the currency to be ultimately disbursed, the rate at which the currency was disbursed, the disbursement method chosen by the customer, and the countries to which the funds are transferred. Rewire contributed approximately 2% to the year over year revenue growth rate in both periods.

Transaction expenses increased $15.9 million, or 23%, to $85.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $69.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to a $19.0 million increase in direct costs associated with processing a higher volume of our customers’ remittance transactions and the disbursement of our customers’ funds to their recipients and a $1.5 million increase in other transaction expenses, primarily related to software and tools that support our compliance and risk operations, partially offset by a decrease in our provision for fraud and other losses.
Transaction expenses increased $53.0 million, or 28%, to $240.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $187.0 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to a $53.4 million increase in direct costs associated with processing a higher volume of our customers’ remittance transactions and the disbursement of our customers’ funds to their recipients and a $3.6 million increase in other transaction expenses, primarily related to software and tools that support our compliance and risk operations, partially offset by a $4.0 million decrease in our provision for fraud and other losses.
As a percentage of revenue, transaction expenses decreased to 35% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to 41% and 40% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to better economics with partners as we are able to secure better terms with our payment and disbursement partners as a result of increasing scale, and also due to improvements in our ability to prevent fraud and other losses.

Customer support and operations expenses increased $3.0 million, or 17%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by a $1.8 million increase in third-party and internal personnel costs to support customer operations, a $0.8 million increase in software and telephony costs as we supported an increased volume of active customers, and a $0.7 million increase due to restructuring costs primarily related to severance. We expect these restructuring activities to generate approximately $1.0 million to $2.0 million in estimated annual savings. Refer to Note 12. Restructuring Initiatives in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the restructuring costs.

27


Customer support and operations expenses increased $13.7 million, or 28%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by a $10.3 million increase in third-party and internal personnel costs to support customer operations, a $3.2 million increase in software and telephony costs as we supported an increased volume of active customers, and a $0.7 million increase due to restructuring costs primarily related to severance (refer to Note 12. Restructuring Initiatives in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the restructuring costs).
As a percentage of revenue, customer support and operations expenses decreased to 9% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, from 11% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, due to process improvements and automation driving scale across customer support headcount at internal and third-party customer support sites.

Marketing expenses increased $18.0 million, or 42%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, due primarily to an increase of $14.1 million in direct marketing expense, including online and offline marketing spend and promotion costs to acquire new customers. Personnel-related costs increased by $3.7 million, driven by a 62% increase in marketing headcount compared to the same period in 2022, inclusive of a $1.2 million increase in stock-based compensation expense. Contributing to the increase in our marketing headcount expense and direct marketing expense is the acquisition of Rewire.
Marketing expenses increased $31.3 million, or 24%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, due primarily to an increase of $19.5 million in direct marketing expense, including online and offline marketing spend and promotion costs to acquire new customers.

The increase was driven by $7.3 million in personnel-related expenses resulting from a 38% increase in headcount compared to the same period in 2022, and included a $2.9 million increase in stock-based compensation expense. The increase in general and administrative expense was also driven by a $2.6 million increase in charitable contributions related to our annual Pledge 1% donation, a $2.2 million increase in indirect taxes, and a $0.9 million increase in the fair value of the holdback liability associated with the Rewire acquisition.
As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses remained flat at 21% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Included in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 results is approximately $5.2 million of stock-based compensation expense related to a prior period that was identified and corrected for in the three months ended June 30, 2022. The discussion below excludes this amount from the nine months ended September 30, 2022 results in all places, for comparative purposes. Excluding the aforementioned amount, general and administrative expenses would have increased $39.6 million, or 43% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
The increase in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was primarily driven by a $20.9 million increase personnel-related expenses due to a 44% increase in general and administrative headcount compared to the same period in 2022 and included a $8.7 million increase in stock-based compensation expense. The increase in general and administrative expenses was also driven by a $3.9 million increase in indirect taxes, a $3.6 million increase in professional fees, a $3.0 million increase in charitable contributions primarily related to our annual Pledge 1% donation, $2.3 million increase in facilities costs, and a $1.9 million increase in the fair value of the holdback liability associated with the Rewire acquisition. Contributing to the increase in our general and administrative headcount expense, software costs, employee-related costs, and professional fees is the acquisition of Rewire.
As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 19% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, from 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as we begin to leverage scale in our general and administrative functions as a result of our continued revenue growth.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We regularly review the following non-GAAP measure to evaluate our performance, identify trends affecting our business, prepare financial projections, and make strategic decisions. We believe that this non-GAAP measure provides meaningful supplemental information for management and investors in assessing our historical and future operating performance. The calculation of this non-GAAP measure discussed below may differ from other similarly titled metrics used by other companies, analysts, or investors.
We use Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure to supplement net loss. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net loss adjusted by (i) interest (income) expense, net; (ii) provision for income taxes; (iii) noncash charge of depreciation and amortization; (iv) gains and losses from the remeasurement of foreign currency assets and liabilities into their functional currency; (v) noncash charges associated with our donation of common stock in connection with our Pledge 1% commitment; (vi) noncash stock-based compensation expense, net; and (vii) certain acquisition, integration, and restructuring costs.
Adjusted EBITDA is a key output measure used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, inform future operating plans, and make strategic long-term decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a financial measure, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and is not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These limitations include the following:
although depreciation and amortization are noncash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditures or other capital commitments;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the effect of income taxes that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the effect of gains and losses from the remeasurement of foreign currency assets and liabilities into their functional currency;
Adjusted EBITDA excludes noncash charges associated with the donation of our common stock in connection with our Pledge 1% commitment, which is recorded in general and administrative expenses;
Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation expense, which has recently been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy;

30


Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain transaction costs, related to acquisition, integration, and restructuring costs. The acquisition and integration costs are primarily related to the Rewire acquisition and primarily include external legal, accounting, valuation, and due diligence costs, advisory and other professional services fees necessary to integrate acquired businesses, and the change in the fair value of the holdback liability as part of the acquisition of Rewire. The restructuring costs are primarily related to severance and other associated costs; and
other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently from how we calculate this measure or not at all, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA, the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP, for each of the periods indicated:

These acquisition and integration expenses included the fair value of the holdback liability of $0.9 million and $1.9 million, respectively, and professional fees incurred for acquisition and integration costs of $0.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Restructuring charges incurred for both the three and nine months ended were $1.4 million. Refer to Note 5. Business Combinations and Note 12.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity and Material Future Cash Requirements
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $223.3 million and $300.6 million, respectively, as well as funds available under the New Revolving Credit Facility, which we entered into in September 2021. We have historically financed our operations and capital expenditures primarily through cash generated from operations including transaction fees and foreign exchange spreads. In recent periods, we have supplemented those cash flows with borrowings on our New Revolving Credit Facility, primarily to support customer transaction volumes during peak periods, which we expect to continue to do in the future. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we borrowed against this credit facility which was repaid by September 30, 2023. Operations continue to be substantially funded by the existing cash we have on hand and ongoing utilization of the New Revolving Credit Facility (including the letter of credit sub-facility), which has included active borrowings and repayments during 2023. As of September 30, 2023, we have unused borrowing capacity of $202.5 million.
We believe that our cash, cash equivalents, and funds available under the New Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months. Our material cash requirements include funds to support current and potential operating activities, capital expenditures, and other commitments, and could include other uses of cash, such as strategic investments. In addition, on January 5, 2023, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Rewire (as defined herein) for approximately $77.9 million, which includes the fair value of cash and equity issued, or to be issued, to selling shareholders. A portion of these proceeds were held back at closing for any potential indemnity claims, which will be released after a 15-month holdback period, subject to any deductions, the majority of which will be settled in cash, with a portion in Company common stock. As of September 30, 2023, the fair value of the liability held back that will be settled in cash and Company common stock was $13.8 million and is expected to be settled in the next 12 months.

31


Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the expansion of our sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of expansion into new corridors, and the timing of introductions of new products and enhancements of existing products, and other strategic investments. Furthermore, certain jurisdictions where we operate require us to hold eligible liquid assets, based on regulatory or legal requirements, equal to the aggregate amount of all customer balances. In addition, as discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we expect that our operating expenses may continue to increase to support the continued growth of our business, including increased investments in our technology to support product improvements, new product development, and geographic expansion. We also routinely enter into marketing and advertising contracts, software subscriptions and other service arrangements, including cloud infrastructure arrangements, which are generally entered into in the ordinary course of business, and that can include minimum purchase quantities, requiring us to utilize cash on hand to fulfill these amounts. Refer to “Contractual Obligations and Commitments” discussed further below.
In the future, we may also attempt to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities or through equity-linked securities, and the ownership of our existing stockholders would be diluted. In addition, if we raise additional financing by incurring additional indebtedness, we may be subject to increased fixed payment obligations and could also be subject to additional restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. Any future indebtedness we incur may result in terms that are unfavorable to equity investors. There can be no assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital. The inability to raise capital would adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives.

Our main sources of operating cash are transaction fees charged to customers and foreign exchange spreads on transactions. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities have been for advertising expenses used to attract new customers, transaction expenses that include fees paid to payment processors and disbursement partners, personnel-related expenses, technology, and other general corporate expenditures. Our changes in operating cash flows are heavily impacted by the timing of customer transactions and, in particular, the day of the week that the quarter end falls on, including holidays and long weekends. For example we generally have higher prefunding amounts if the quarter closes on a weekend or in advance of a long weekend, such as a holiday, which creates variability in customer transaction-related balances period over period and can reduce our cash position at a particular point in time. These balances within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows include disbursement prefunding, customer funds receivable, customer liabilities, and disbursement postfunding liabilities and book overdrafts, both of which are included within the line item ‘Accrued expenses and other liabilities.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $19.1 million, which was primarily driven by an increase in overall growth in our global network of funding and disbursement partnerships and an increase in volume of customer transactions. Specifically, as a result of both growth and timing, we saw an increase in disbursement prefunding of $52.2 million and customer funds receivable of $68.6 million, offset by an increase in customer liabilities of $29.2 million and accrued expenses and other liabilities, which are inclusive of disbursement postfunding liabilities and book overdrafts, of $34.2 million, which were the key drivers for the unfavorable changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $56.2 million. This change in our operating assets and liabilities was also partially offset by cash generated from our operations, when excluding the $119.9 million of noncash charges included within the $82.8 million net loss for the period.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $27.8 million, which primarily consisted of unfavorable changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $8.2 million, and net loss of $94.6 million, partially offset by $75.0 million of noncash charges included within net loss for the period. The primary driver for the unfavorable change in operating assets and liabilities was due to the overall growth in our business and the timing of funding customer transactions, including an increase in customer funds receivable of $52.5 million partially offset by an increase in customer liabilities of $36.8 million and changes in the timing of other operating assets and liabilities.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities consists primarily of purchases of property and equipment, capitalization of internal-use software, and cash paid for acquisitions of businesses, net of acquired cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash.

32


Net cash used in investing activities was $47.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $42.5 million, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by the acquisition of Rewire in the first quarter of 2023.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities consists primarily of borrowings on the Company’s line of credit and proceeds from the exercise of stock options, offset by repayments of borrowings and other indebtedness.
Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $9.5 million, a decrease of $17.7 million, compared to net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $8.2 million. This decrease was primarily driven by the repayment of assumed indebtedness of $17.1 million that occurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Our principal commitments consist of standby letters of credit, long-term leases, and other purchase commitments entered into in the normal course of business. In addition, we routinely enter into marketing and advertising contracts, software subscriptions or other service arrangements, including cloud infrastructure arrangements, and compliance-tool related arrangements that contractually obligate us to purchase services, including minimum service quantities, unless we give notice of cancellation based on the applicable terms of the agreements. Most contracts are typically cancelable within a period of less than one year, although some of our larger software or cloud service subscriptions require multi-year commitments. Changes in our business needs, contractual cancellation provisions, fluctuating interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing and amounts of these payments.
In addition, on February 19, 2023, we entered into a lease for an office in Israel. This lease commenced in 2023 and will expire in 2027. Total incremental estimated cash payments that will be made over the course of the lease agreement total approximately $6.0 million. This lease has been recorded in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2023.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, other than software, cloud infrastructure, marketing, and compliance-tool related contracts entered into in the normal course of business, there were no other material changes to the contractual obligations and contingencies as disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. For further discussion of commitments and contingencies, also refer to Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2023, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources. From time to time we do enter into short-term leases that have lease terms of less than 12 months, and are typically month-to-month in nature. As described in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on our Annual Report on Form 10-K, we elected not to record leases on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets if the lease term is 12 months or less. For further information on our lease arrangements, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. The Company’s estimates are based on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ significantly from the estimates made by management. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows will be affected.
There have been no material changes, other than as described in Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and as described below to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to those described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are subject to an impairment assessment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. Long-lived assets, other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from estimated future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, the fair value of the asset is calculated using the present value of estimated net future cash flows. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment is recorded.
The impairment assessments involve the use of accounting estimates and assumptions, changes in which could materially impact our financial condition or operating performance if actual results differ from such estimates and assumptions.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the potential for economic losses to be incurred on market risk-sensitive instruments arising from adverse changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and equity investment risk. Management establishes and oversees the implementation of policies governing our investing, funding, and foreign currency activities in order to mitigate market risks. We monitor risk exposures on an ongoing basis.
Credit Risk
We have a limited number of pay-in payment processors and therefore we are exposed to credit risk relating to those pay-in payment providers if, in the course of a transaction, we were to disburse funds to the recipient but the pay-in payment provider did not deliver our customer’s funds to us (for example, due to their illiquidity). We mitigate this credit risk by engaging with reputable pay-in payment providers and entering into written agreements with pay-in providers allowing for legal recourse. We are also exposed to credit risk relating to many of our disbursement partners when we prefund or remit funds in advance of having collected funds from our customers through our pay-in payment processors, if our disbursement partners fail to disburse funds according to our instructions (for example, due to their insufficient capital). We mitigate these credit exposures by engaging with reputable disbursement partners and performing a credit review before onboarding each disbursement partner and by negotiating for post-funding arrangements where circumstances permit. We also periodically review credit ratings, or, if unavailable, other financial documentation, of both our pay-in payment providers and disbursement partners. We have not experienced significant losses during the periods presented.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Given the nature of our business, we are exposed to foreign exchange rate risk in a number of ways. Our principal exposure to foreign exchange rate risk includes:
Exposure to foreign currency exchange risk on our cross-border payments if exchange rates fluctuate between initiation of the transaction and transaction disbursement to the recipient. We disburse transactions in multiple foreign currencies, including most notably the Indian rupee, the Mexican peso, and the Philippine peso. In the vast majority of cases, the recipient disbursement occurs within a day of sending, which mitigates foreign currency exchange risk. To enable disbursement in the receive currency, we prefund many disbursement partners one to two business days in advance based on expected send volume. Foreign exchange rate risk due to differences between the timing of transaction initiation and payment varies based on the day of the week and the bank holiday schedule; for example, disbursement prefunding is typically largest before long weekends.
While the majority of our revenue and expenses are denominated in the U.S. dollar, certain of our international operations are conducted in foreign currencies, a significant portion of which occur in Canada and Europe. Changes in the relative value of the U.S. dollar to other currencies may affect revenue and other operating results as expressed in U.S. dollars. In addition, certain of our international subsidiary financial statements are denominated in and operated in currencies outside of the U.S. dollar. As such, the condensed consolidated financial statements will continue to remain subject to the impact of foreign currency translation, as our international business continues to grow. In periods where other currencies weaken against the U.S. dollar, this can negatively impact our consolidated results which are reported in U.S. dollars.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, a hypothetical uniform 10% strengthening or weakening in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies in which our net loss was generated, would have resulted in a decrease or increase to the fair value of our customer transaction-related assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the subsidiaries’ functional currencies of approximately $14.9 million and $10.2 million, respectively, based on our unhedged exposure to foreign currency at that date. There are inherent limitations in this sensitivity analysis, primarily due to the following assumptions: (1) foreign exchange rate movements are linear and instantaneous, (2) exposure is static, and (3) customer transaction behavior due to currency rate changes is static. As a result, the analysis is unable to reflect the potential effects of more complex market changes that could arise, which may positively or negatively affect our results from operations. For example, both the disbursement prefunding balance and the customer funds liability balance (and resulting net impact to our net currency position) may be highly variable day to day. In addition, changes in foreign exchange rates may impact customer behavior by altering the timing or volume of transactions sent through our platform. For example, an increase in the value of a send currency against a receive currency may accelerate the timing or amount of remittances.
To the extent practicable, we minimize our foreign currency exposures by maintaining natural hedges between our current assets and current liabilities in similarly denominated foreign currencies. At this time, we do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments in an attempt to hedge our foreign currency exchange risk. We may do so in the future, but it is difficult to predict the impact hedging activities would have on our operating results.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In the normal course of business, the Company occasionally becomes involved in various legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, any liability from such proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which could materially affect our business, reputation, financial condition, future results, or the trading price of the Company’s stock. These are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition, and/or operating results.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Recent Sales of Unregistered Equity Securities
None.
Use of Proceeds
In September 2021, we completed our initial public offering (the “IPO”), in which we issued and sold 7,000,000 shares of our common stock at $43.00 per share. Concurrently, 5,162,777 shares were sold by certain of our existing stockholders. In addition, we concurrently issued 581,395 shares of common stock in a private placement at the same offering price as the IPO. We received net proceeds of $305.2 million for the IPO and private placement, after deducting underwriting discounts and other fees of $20.8 million. There has been no material change in the planned use of proceeds from our IPO as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC on September 24, 2021 pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act.
Issuer Purchase of Equity Securities
None.
