Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including risks described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may include additional factors that could harm our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, achievements, events, or circumstances. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this report or to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations. You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to this report with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance, and achievements may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this report, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and you are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

Unless otherwise noted or unless the context provides otherwise, all references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to our “common stock” refer to our voting common stock.

Investors, the media, and others should note that we intend to announce material information to the public through filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the investor relations page on our website (https://ir.flywire.com), blog posts on our website (www.flywire.com), press releases, public conference calls, webcasts, and social media channels, including our X (formerly known as Twitter) feed (@flywire), Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Flywire) and LinkedIn page (https://www.linkedin.com/company/flywire). The information disclosed by the foregoing channels could be deemed to be material information. As such, we encourage investors, the media, and others to follow the channels listed above and to review the information disclosed through such channels. Any updates to the list of disclosure channels through which we will announce information will be posted on the investor relations page on our website. The contents of the websites provided above are not incorporated into this filing or in any other report or document we file with the SEC.

Note 1. Business Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Flywire Corporation (Flywire or the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in July 2009 as peerTransfer Corporation. In 2016, the Company changed its name to Flywire Corporation. The Company is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts and has a global footprint in 16 countries across 5 continents.

Flywire provides a secure global payments platform, offering its clients an innovative and streamlined process to receive reconciled domestic and international payments in a more cost effective and efficient manner. The Company’s solutions are built on three core elements: (i) a next-gen payments platform, (ii) a proprietary global payment network, and (iii) vertical-specific software backed by its deep industry expertise.

2023 Follow-On Public Offering

On August 9, 2023, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as the representative of the several Underwriters, in connection with the offer and sale of 8,000,000 shares of voting common stock, at a price to the public of $32.00 per share (the Primary Offering). In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to 1,200,000 additional shares of common stock (the Option).

The Primary Offering closed on August 14, 2023 and on September 12, 2023, the Underwriters exercised the Option in part and purchased an additional 500,000 shares of voting common stock at a price to the public of $32.00 per share (the Public Offering). The Company received $260.1 million in net proceeds from the Public Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $10.9 million and other offering costs of $1.1 million. The Company has used the net proceeds from the Public Offering for general corporate purposes and to fund acquisitions.

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Flywire and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Segment Information

The Company has a single operating and reportable segment. See Note 3 – Segment Information for additional details regarding the Company's significant segment expenses.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, the valuation of certain stock-based compensation awards, the valuation of contingent consideration, the valuation of acquired intangible assets and their useful lives, the estimate of credit losses on accounts receivable, unbilled receivables and available-for-sale debt securities, the assessment of other-than-temporary impairment of available-for-sale debt securities, intangibles and other long-lived assets and the incremental borrowing rates for operating leases. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates as there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions.

Impact of Inflation

Inflation did not have a material effect on the Company's cash flows and results of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Concentrations of Credit Risk, Financial Instruments and Significant Clients

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consists principally of cash, cash equivalents, investments in available-for-sale debt securities, accounts receivable, unbilled receivables and funds receivable from payment partners.

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality. Our cash equivalents include money market funds, which are AAA-rated and comprised of liquid, high quality debt securities issued by the U.S. government. The Company's cash and cash equivalents deposited with the financial institutions exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limit of $250,000. As part of its cash management process, the Company performs periodic reviews of the credit standing of the financial institutions holding its cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, to mitigate credit risk associated with financial institutions, the Company diversifies its cash and cash equivalents across multiple financial institutions and U.S. Treasury Money Market Funds. U.S. Treasuries, by their nature, create a concentration of credit risk with the U.S. Government. The Company's access to its cash and cash equivalents and client funds could be significantly impacted in volatile markets given our concentration in government money market funds.

To manage credit risk associated with investments in available-for-sale debt securities, the Company monitors credit ratings of the issuers of the securities and diversifies its investments by limiting its holding in any one security or issuer.

To manage credit risk related to accounts receivable and unbilled receivables, the Company maintains an allowance for credit losses. The allowance is determined by applying a loss-rate method based on an aging schedule using the Company's historical loss rate. The Company also considers reasonable and supportable current and forecasted information in determining its estimated loss rates, such as external forecasts, macroeconomic trends, or other factors that are associated with the credit quality of the Company’s customer base. The Company did not experience any material credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from clients located in the U.S. and internationally. There were no clients that represented 10% or more of the accounts receivable balance at March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

Funds receivable from payment partners consist primarily of cash held by the Company’s global payment processing partners that have not yet been remitted to the Company. Significant partners are those that represent 10% or more of funds receivable from payment partners as set forth in the following table:


	March 31, 2025			December 31, 2024
Partner A		10	%		19	%
Partner B	*				11	%
Partner C		55	%		28	%

______________________

* Less than 10% of total balance.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, no client accounted for 10% or more of total revenue.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1 - Business Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling and marketing expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Advertising expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $1.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

There were no recent accounting pronouncements adopted by Flywire during the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

The following Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) were issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board but not yet adopted by Flywire as of March 31, 2025:

ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures: ASU 2023-09 requires public business entities to disclose on an annual basis additional information in specified categories with respect to the reconciliation of the effective tax rate to the statutory rate for federal, state, and foreign income taxes. It also requires greater detail about individual reconciling items in the rate reconciliation to the extent the impact of those items exceeds a specified threshold. In addition, ASU 2023-09 requires disclosure pertaining to taxes paid, net of refunds received, to be disaggregated for federal, state, and foreign taxes and further disaggregated for specific jurisdictions to the extent the related amounts exceed a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2025. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis. However, companies have the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses: ASU 2024-03 is intended to improve the disclosures of expenses by providing more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The ASU requires entities to disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption; as well as a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. The amendment also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expense and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2027, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Actual amounts and timing of revenue recognized may differ due to subsequent contract modifications, renewals and/or terminations.

Note 3. Segment Information

The Company has a single operating and reportable segment. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM). The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance and allocating resources. The Company's CODM evaluates company-wide performance based on multiple performance measures, including, but not limited to net income (loss).

The following table presents the Company's significant segment expenses and other segment items for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The CODM does not regularly review segment asset information for the purpose of assessing performance and making resource allocation decisions; therefore, such information is not presented.

See Note 2 - Revenue and Recognition for information regarding the Company's revenue by geographic area.

Note 4. Investments

During 2024, the Company began investing in a diversified portfolio of highly rated marketable debt securities, all of which are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale debt securities with remaining maturities of greater than three months but less than one year and those identified by management at the time of purchase to be used to fund operations within one year are classified as short-term. All other available-for-sale securities are classified as long-term. Available-for-sale debt securities with readily determinable market values are recorded at fair value, and unrealized holding gains and temporary losses are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related estimated tax.

The Company evaluates its available-for-sale debt securities for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis. When a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the cost of the investment is adjusted to fair value by recording a loss on investments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Gains and losses on investments are calculated on the basis of specific identification. The Company reviews several factors to determine whether a loss is other-than-temporary, such as the length and extent of the fair value decline, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, market conditions and trends and whether the Company has the intent to sell or will more likely than not be required to sell before the securities' anticipated recovery, which may be at maturity.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of available-for-sale debt securities included within short-term and long-term investments as of March 31, 2025 (in thousands):

* Less than 1.

Unrealized losses have not been recognized into income (loss) as the Company neither intends to sell, nor anticipates that it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell, the securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. The decline in fair value is due primarily to changes in market interest rates, rather than credit losses. Based on the evaluation of available evidence, the Company does not believe any unrealized losses represent other than temporary impairments.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company received proceeds of $98.7 million from the sale of short-term and long-term investments, primarily used to partially pay down the outstanding debt under the Company's revolving credit facility used for the Sertifi acquisition, There have been no significant realized gains or losses on the sale of short-term and long-term investments during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Note 5. Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

The Company’s cash equivalents are carried at fair value (Level 1) as determined according to the fair value hierarchy described above. The Company’s cash equivalents include money market funds, which are measured at fair value using the net asset value (NAV) per share practical expedient. The money market funds, which are AAA-rated are comprised of liquid, high-quality debt securities issued by the U.S. government. Shares in money market funds are purchased and redeemed at the NAV at the time of the purchase or sale, which may be purchased or redeemed on demand, as may be required by the Company. The Company's investments in available-for-sale debt securities are carried at fair value, determined using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy as quoted prices are available to support the valuation. The carrying values of accounts receivable, funds receivable from payment partners, unbilled receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, funds payable to clients and accrued expenses and other current liabilities

approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. The Company’s contingent consideration is carried at fair value, determined using Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.

The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

Contingent consideration

Sertifi LLC (Sertifi)

The fair value of the contingent consideration related to the gross profit milestones from the Company’s acquisition of Sertifi in February 2025 was determined using an option pricing model and the fair value of the contingent consideration related to the technology and security milestones was determined using a scenario-based method. Refer to Note 10 - Business Combinations for additional details on the Sertifi acquisition. The following table presents the unobservable inputs incorporated into the valuation of contingent consideration as of March 31, 2025.


	March 31, 2025
Discount rate		6.6	%
Probability of successful achievement *	37% - 50%

_____________________________

* Probability of successful achievement was set at different targets based on the Company’s estimates on achieving them. The weighted average probability of successful achievement as of March 31, 2025 was 40.9%.

Increases or decreases in the discount rate would result in a lower or higher fair value measurement, respectively. Increases or decreases in any of the probabilities of success in which the revenue, top customers, product and IT milestones are expected to be achieved would result in higher or lower fair value measurement, respectively.

Invoiced Inc. (Invoiced)

The fair value of the contingent consideration related to the revenue milestones from the Company’s acquisition of Invoiced in August 2024 was determined using an option pricing model and the fair value of the contingent consideration related to the cross-selling, product and security and information technology (IT) milestones was determined using a scenario-based method. Refer to Note 10 - Business Combinations for additional details on the Invoiced acquisition. The following table presents the unobservable inputs incorporated into the valuation of contingent consideration as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.


	March 31, 2025	December 31, 2024
Discount rate	6.47% - 6.59%	6.47% - 6.59%
Probability of successful achievement *	4% - 100%	4% - 100%

_____________________________

Learning Information Systems Pty Ltd. (StudyLink)

The fair value of the contingent consideration related to the revenue milestone from the Company’s acquisition of StudyLink in November 2023 was determined using an option pricing model and the fair value of the contingent consideration related to the volume of money movement, cross-selling and engineering implementation milestones was determined using a scenario-based method. Refer to Note 10 - Business Combinations for additional details on the StudyLink acquisition. The following table presents the unobservable inputs incorporated into the valuation of contingent consideration as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration are included as a component of general and administrative expense within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The following table summarizes the changes in the carrying value of the contingent consideration for the periods presented (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Ending balance	$	8,192	$	2,281

* Contingent consideration when paid is bifurcated between financing and operating sections of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Amounts paid up to the fair value initially recorded in purchase accounting is reported in the financing section of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, while any excess is reported in the operating section of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

Note 6. Derivative Instruments

As part of the Company’s foreign currency risk management program, the Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the volatility related to fluctuations in the foreign exchange rates. These foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments. Derivative transactions such as foreign currency forward contracts are measured in terms of the notional amount; however, this amount is not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and is not, when viewed in isolation, a meaningful measure of the risk profile of the derivative instruments. The notional amount is generally not exchanged but is used only as the underlying basis on which the value of foreign exchange payments under these contracts is determined. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had 10,508 and 18,858 open foreign exchange contracts, respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with a notional amount of $28.4 million and $43.3 million, respectively.

The Company records all derivative instruments in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at their fair values. The Company recorded a liability of less than $0.1 million related to outstanding foreign exchange contracts at March 31, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024 the Company recorded an asset of less than $0.1 million. The Company recognized gains of less than $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Gains and losses are included as a component of general and administrative expense within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Note 10. Business Combinations

Sertifi

On February 24, 2025, Flywire acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Sertifi LLC (Sertifi) for upfront cash consideration of $330.0 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments set forth in the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the Agreement), and contingent consideration of up to $10 million upon the completion or satisfaction of certain technical and commercial milestones by Sertifi. Sertifi is a vertical software and payments platform digitizing hospitality-specific workflows and associated payments. The acquisition of Sertifi was intended to accelerate the Company’s travel business and expand Flywire’s offerings to support over 20,000 hotel locations globally.

The Company paid the upfront cash consideration through a combination of cash on hand and $125.0 million borrowed from its existing 2024 Revolving Credit Facility.

The Company has performed initial valuation analyses necessary to assess the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the amount of goodwill to be recognized as of the acquisition date. These fair values were based on management’s estimates and assumptions; however, the amounts indicated are preliminary in nature and are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the

acquisition date. Accordingly, there may be adjustments to the assigned values of acquired assets and liabilities assumed. Areas that remain preliminary primarily relate to net working capital adjustments, fair values of deferred revenue and the key underlying judgments and assumptions used in the acquired intangible assets, asset lives, as well as any changes to residual goodwill resulting from measurement period adjustments. The final determination of acquisition date fair values and residual goodwill will be completed as soon as practicable, and within the measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition date as permitted under GAAP. Any adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period will be recorded in the reporting period in which the adjustment is determined.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company acquired Sertifi for estimated total purchase consideration of approximately $335.9 million or $327.8 million, net of cash acquired, which consisted of (in thousands):


Cash consideration, net of cash acquired	$	324,852
Estimated fair value of contingent consideration		2,924
Total purchase consideration, net of cash acquired	$	327,776

The estimated cash consideration, net of cash acquired, of approximately $324.9 million consists of $319.9 million of cash paid upon closing, net of cash acquired and $5.0 million of estimated consideration payable for post-closing adjustments within 120 days of the closing date and has been recorded to other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Agreement provides for contingent consideration of up to $10.0 million, with an estimated fair value of $2.9 million on the date of acquisition, and represents additional payments that Flywire may be required to make in the future which are dependent upon the successful achievement of certain targets related to revenue and cross-selling of the Sertifi software as well as milestones related to the Sertifi software product and security and IT integration.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred $2.5 million in transaction costs in connection with the Sertifi acquisition, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Note 12. Debt

2024 Revolving Credit Facility

On February 23, 2024, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for a five-year senior secured revolving credit syndication loan (2024 Revolving Credit Facility) with four banks for a total commitment of $125.0 million. The 2024 Revolving Credit Facility provides for an incremental facility in an amount equal to $50.0 million plus 100% of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA based on the most recent consolidated financial information. In addition, the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility includes a $10.0 million letter of credit sub-facility and a $5.0 million swingline sub-facility, with available borrowings under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility reduced by the amount of any letters of credit and swingline borrowings outstanding from time to time. The 2024 Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by Flywire’s current and future material domestic subsidiaries.

The 2024 Revolving Credit Facility replaced the three-year senior secured revolving credit syndication loan (2021 Revolving Credit Facility) of $50.0 million entered into in July 2021, under which $50.0 million was available to Flywire as of December 31, 2023. Three of the lenders under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility were existing lenders under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility.

In connection with the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $0.8 million. Debt issuance costs related to the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility are amortized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the agreement and are presented as a component of other assets on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. Debt issuance costs of $0.1 million related to the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility will continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the new agreement and are presented as a component of other assets on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The exchange of the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility with the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility from the same lenders was accounted for as a modification.

The 2024 Revolving Credit Facility consists of Alternate Base Rate (ABR) borrowings or Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) borrowings, at the Company’s option.

ABR borrowings bear interest at the ABR plus the applicable rate. Term SOFR borrowings bear interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR for the interest period plus the applicable rate. The ABR rate is based on the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1/2 of 1%, or (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR for a one-month interest period, plus 1%. The Adjusted Term SOFR is equal to the sum of (a) Term SOFR for such interest period, plus (b) the SOFR adjustment of 0.10%. The applicable rate is based upon the Company’s consolidated total net leverage ratio as of the most recent consolidated financial information and ranges from 1.0% to 2.5%. The 2024 Revolving Credit Facility incurs a commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.35% based upon the Company’s consolidated total net leverage ratio as of the most recent consolidated financial information assessed on the average available commitment.

The 2024 Revolving Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and restrictions typical for a financing of this type that, among other things, require the Company to satisfy certain financial covenants and restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends and make distributions, make certain investments and

acquisitions, repurchase its stock and prepay certain indebtedness, create liens, enter into agreements with affiliates, modify the nature of its business, enter into sale-leaseback transactions, transfer and sell material assets and merge or consolidate. Non-compliance with one or more of the covenants and restrictions could result in the full or partial principal balance of the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility becoming immediately due and payable and termination of the commitments. The Company was in compliance with all covenants associated with the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2025.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company drew down $125.0 million under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility in connection with the acquisition of Sertifi. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company also repaid $65.0 million against the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility. The outstanding balance of the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility was $60.0 million at March 31, 2025, which is due and payable in February 2029 and is classified as long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. There was no outstanding balance of the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2024.

2021 Revolving Credit Facility

On July 29, 2021, the Company entered into the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility with three banks for a total commitment of $50.0 million. The 2021 Revolving Credit Facility included a $5.0 million letter of credit sub-facility and a $5.0 million swingline sub-facility, with available borrowings under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility reduced by the amount of any letters of credit and swingline borrowings outstanding from time to time. The 2021 Revolving Credit Facility was guaranteed by Flywire’s material domestic subsidiaries.

The 2021 Revolving Credit Facility consisted of ABR loans or Eurodollar Borrowings, at the Company’s option.

On June 23, 2023, the Company executed the First Amendment to the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility to transition determination of the interest rate from the LIBOR benchmark rate to the SOFR benchmark rate effective June 30, 2023.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was no outstanding indebtedness under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility.

Interest expense for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $0.7 and $0.1 million, respectively. Included in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 is less than $0.1 million of amortization of debt issuance costs.

Letter of Credit

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had an outstanding and unused letter of credit in the amount of approximately $2.5 million, for the purpose of protecting a third-party service provider against default on payroll payments. The letter of credit may be terminated at any time by the Company upon notice.

Note 13. Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

The Company’s current amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which was filed on May 28, 2021, authorizes the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by the board of directors.

Common Stock

The Company’s current amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 2,000,000,000 shares of voting common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share and 10,000,000 shares of non-voting common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. The voting and non-voting shares are identical, except that holders of voting common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on each matter properly submitted to the Company’s stockholders for their vote, while holders of non-voting common stock are not entitled to vote on such matters. Holders of voting common stock and non-voting common stock are entitled to receive any dividends as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors.

Holders of the Company's voting common stock have no conversion rights while each share of non-voting common stock automatically converts into common stock on a one-to-one basis without the payment of additional consideration

upon the transfer thereof in (i) a widespread public distribution, including pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (ii) a transfer (including a private placement or a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) in which no one party acquires the right to purchase 2% or more of any class of voting securities (as such term is used for the purposes of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended), (iii) an assignment to a single party (for example, a broker or investment banker) for the purposes of conducting a widespread public distribution, or (iv) to a party who would control more than 50% of the Company's voting securities without giving effect to the shares of non-voting common stock transferred by the holder. Other than in the event of such transfers, shares of non-voting common stock shall not be convertible into any other security.

Share Repurchase Program

Repurchases under the Repurchase Program may be made from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions, including Rule 10b-18. The timing, value and number of shares repurchased will be determined by the Company in its discretion and will be based on various factors, including an evaluation of current and future capital needs, current and forecasted cash flows, the Company’s capital structure, cost of capital and prevailing stock prices, general market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements, and compliance with covenants in the Company’s credit facility that may limit share repurchases based on defined leverage ratios. The Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to purchase a specific number of, or any, shares and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without notice at the Company’s discretion.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 3,562,643 shares of its common stock for an aggregate amount, including commissions and accrued excise tax, of $48.4 million under the Repurchase Program. The repurchased shares are currently being held as treasury stock. As of March 31, 2025, approximately $57.0 million of the originally authorized amount under the Repurchase Program remained available for future repurchases.

All of the Company’s repurchases are subject to a one percent excise tax enacted by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the IRA). The amount of share repurchases subject to the excise tax are reduced by the fair market value of any shares issued during the taxable year. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company accrued $0.5 million of related excise tax pursuant to the IRA which is included in the cost of treasury stock on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Treasury Stock

The Company may issue treasury stock upon the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units granted under its equity incentive plans. The Company issued 19,182 treasury shares at an average cost of $9.91 per share during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company issued 14,504 treasury shares at an average cost of $0.30 per share during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company intends to issue treasury shares as long as an adequate number of those shares are available.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in equity during the period and is comprised of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) reported on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets for the period ending March 31, 2025 consists of foreign currency translation adjustment and the unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable taxes, on available-for-sale debt securities.

Note 14. Stock-Based Compensation

Equity Incentive Plan

In April 2021, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and in May 2021 its stockholders approved the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2021 Plan).

No further awards are being made under the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the 2009 Plan) or the Company’s 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2018 Plan); however, awards outstanding under each of the 2009 Plan and 2018 Plan will continue to be governed by their existing terms. With the establishment of the 2021 Plan, upon the expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, or reacquisition of any stock-based awards granted under the 2009 Plan or 2018 Plan, an equal number of shares will become available for grant under the 2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan, 2018 Plan and 2009 Plan are collectively referred to as the “Equity Incentive Plans”.

The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance awards and other forms of equity compensation (collectively, equity awards). A total of 26,116,754 shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan in addition to (i) any annual automatic evergreen increases in the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2021 Plan and (ii) upon the expiration, forfeiture, cancellation, or reacquisition of any stock-based awards granted under the 2009 Plan or 2018 Plan, an equal number of shares of common stock will become available for grant under the 2021 Plan.

As of March 31, 2025, a total of 16,263,616 shares of the Company's common stock were available for future issuance under the 2021 Plan.

Stock Options

Stock options granted under the 2009 Plan, 2018 Plan and the 2021 Plan generally vest based on continued service over four years and expire within ten years from the date of grant. Any options that are canceled or forfeited before expiration become available for future grants.

The Company did not grant any options to purchase shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2025, there was $1.4 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.63 years.

Restricted Stock Units

Starting in 2021, the Company awarded restricted stock units to employees and certain non-employee board members under the 2021 Plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company awarded restricted stock units covering an aggregate of 7.1 million shares of common stock. The fair value of each restricted stock unit is estimated based on the fair value of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant. The restricted stock units vest over the requisite service period, which range between one and four years from the date of the grant, subject to the continued employment of the employees and service of the non-employee board members.

As of March 31, 2025, there was $171.6 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.10 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In April 2021, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and in May 2021 its stockholders approved, the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), which became effective on May 28, 2021. The ESPP authorizes the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to purchase rights granted to "eligible employees". A total of 5,082,470 shares of common stock have been reserved for future issuance under the ESPP, in addition to any annual automatic evergreen increases in the number of shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the ESPP. The price at which common stock is purchased under the ESPP is equal to 85% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the first or last day of the offering period, whichever is lower. Eligible employees can contribute up to the lesser of 15% of their eligible compensation and the IRS limit. Offering periods are generally 6 months long.

As of March 31, 2025, a total of 5,750,600 shares of the Company's common stock were available for future issuance under the ESPP.

The fair value of the ESPP offering during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was estimated at the start of the offering period using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: (i) expected term of 0.5 years, (ii) expected volatility of 61.91%, (iii) risk-free interest rate of 5.24% and (iv) expected dividend yield of 0%.

As of March 31, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to the ESPP was $0.3 million, which is expected to be amortized over the next 3 months.

Stock-Based Compensation Costs

The following table summarizes the stock-based compensation expense for (i) stock options and restricted stock units granted to employees and non-employee board members and (ii) ESPP shares that were purchased by employees that were recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
Technology and development	$	3,217	$	2,592
Selling and marketing		4,560		3,960
General and administrative		8,226		8,290
Restructuring		2,215		—
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	18,218	$	14,842

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation was charged to internal-use software.

On November 6, 2023, the Company entered into a Transition Agreement with its previous Chief Financial Officer (Prior CFO). Pursuant to the terms of the Transition Agreement (including the receipt by the Company of a release from the Prior CFO), the Company agreed to modify its Prior CFO's outstanding stock options and restricted stock units to (i)

accelerate vesting for nine months from the date of the termination of the Prior CFOs employment with the Company (the Separation Date), and (ii) extend the exercise period of his vested nonqualified stock options from ninety days to one year following the Separation Date. To receive these benefits, the Prior CFO had to remain employed through March 31, 2024. As a result of this modification, the Company recognized additional compensation expense of $1.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. There was no additional compensation expense recognized as a result of this modification during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Note 15. Net Loss per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders is computed by adjusting net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders to reallocate undistributed earnings based on the potential impact of dilutive securities. Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the diluted net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, including all potentially dilutive common shares, if the effect of such shares is dilutive. The dilutive effect of outstanding equity incentive awards is reflected in diluted net income (loss) per share by application of the treasury stock method.

In periods in which the Company reports a net loss attributable to common stockholders, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, since dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024; accordingly, basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders was the same as diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders.

The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the voting and non-voting common stock are identical, except with respect to voting rights. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis to each class of common stock and the resulting basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders are, therefore, the same for both voting and non-voting common stock on both individual and combined basis.

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders was calculated as follows (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025			2024
Numerator:
Net loss	$	(4,160	)	$	(6,217	)
Net loss attributable to common stockholders – basic and diluted	$	(4,160	)	$	(6,217	)
Denominator:
Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic and diluted		123,235,263			123,143,343
Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders – basic and diluted	$	(0.03	)	$	(0.05	)

Outstanding potentially dilutive securities, which were excluded from the diluted net income (loss) per share calculations because they would have been antidilutive were as follows as of the dates presented:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
Unvested restricted stock units		11,930,639		6,809,244
Stock options to purchase common stock		5,636,581		7,366,719
Employee stock purchase plan shares		101,280		—
		17,668,500		14,175,963

Note 16. Income Taxes

The Company’s (benefit from) provision for income taxes during the interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, which is adjusted for certain discrete tax items during the interim period. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.9 million and income tax provision of $1.6 million for the three months

ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was driven by the Company's pre-tax loss position in the period. The income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to activity in the Company's foreign subsidiaries and U.S. state taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the change in valuation allowance in the U.S. The Company is open to future tax examinations from 2019 to the present; however, carryforward attributes that were generated prior to 2018 may still be adjusted upon examination by federal, state or local tax authorities to the extent they will be used in a future period.

The Company’s management evaluates the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets based on all available evidence, both positive and negative. The realization of net deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient future taxable income during the foreseeable future. As of March 31, 2025, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance of the U.S. net deferred tax assets.

Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal proceedings

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims from time to time, the outcomes of which are subject to significant uncertainty. The Company records an accrual for legal contingencies when it has determined that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In making such determinations, the Company evaluates, among other things, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and, when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the loss. If the occurrence of liability is probable, the Company will disclose the nature of the contingency, and if estimable, will provide the likely amount of such loss or range of loss.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company was not a party to any litigation the outcome of which, the Company believes, if determined adversely to it, would individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In the course of enhancing its sanctions compliance function, the Company initiated an internal review that identified issues related to the Company’s compliance with sanctions promulgated by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), including payments that may have originated from sanctioned jurisdictions or sanctioned persons. Although Flywire continues to evaluate whether these or other transactions constitute potential violations of sanctions (including whether certain of these payments may have been authorized by general licenses or license exemptions under the relevant sanctions regulations), Flywire has made voluntary submissions to OFAC to report the apparent violations and provide supplemental information. Flywire is currently engaging with OFAC to resolve these matters. Based upon the results of the internal investigation completed to date, the Company does not believe that the amount of any loss incurred as a result of this matter would be material to its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Indemnification

In the ordinary course of business, the Company agrees to indemnify certain partners and clients against third-party claims asserting infringement of certain intellectual property rights, data privacy breaches, damages caused to property or persons, or other liabilities relating to or arising from the Company’s payment platform or other contractual obligations. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with members of its board of directors and executive officers that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications. The Company is not aware of any pending indemnification matters or claims, individually or in the aggregate, that are expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows and had not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in its condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We help our clients turn their accounts receivable functions into strategic, value-enhancing areas of their organizations.

We reach clients through various channels, with our direct channel being our primary go-to-market strategy. Our industry-experienced sales and relationship management teams bring expertise and local reach, and our solution combines high-tech and high-touch functions backed by 24x7 multilingual customer support, resulting in high client and customer satisfaction. In addition, the value of our Flywire Advantage has been recognized, with global financial institutions and technology providers choosing to form channel partnerships with us. These partnerships promote organic referral and lead generation opportunities and enhance our indirect sales strategy.

The combination of our differentiated solution and efficient go-to-market strategy has resulted in strong and consistent client growth.

•

Rapid domestic and international payments volume growth. We have grown our total payment volume by approximately 20% period-over-period from $7.0 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $8.4 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

•

Expanded global payments network. We have continued to add to the capabilities of our payment network by means of new local bank accounts and payment partners, and have expanded our global reach to over 240 countries and territories and more than 140 currencies.

•

Strong dollar-based net retention. For the year ended December 31, 2024, our annual net dollar-based retention rate was approximately 114%. We calculate the annual net dollar-based retention rate for a given year based on the weighted average of the quarterly net dollar-based retention rates for each quarter in that year. We calculate the quarterly net dollar-based retention rate for a given quarter by dividing the revenue we earned in that quarter by the revenue we earned from the same clients in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Our calculation of quarterly net dollar-based revenue rate for a given quarter only includes revenue from clients that were clients at the beginning of the corresponding quarter of the previous year.

As of March 31, 2025, we serve over 4,600 clients around the world, excluding clients acquired from the Sertifi and Invoiced acquisitions. In education, we serve more than 3,100 institutions. In healthcare, we power more than 100 healthcare systems, including four of the top 10 healthcare systems in the United States ranked by hospital size as of December 31, 2024. In our travel and B2B verticals, we have a growing portfolio of approximately 1,300 clients as of March 31, 2025.

Our success in building our client base around the world and expanding utilization by our clients’ customers has allowed us to achieve significant scale. We enabled approximately $29.7 billion, $8.4 billion, and $7.0 billion in total payment volume during the year ended December 31, 2024 and three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We generated revenue of $492.1 million and $403.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and had net income of $2.9 million and net loss of $8.6 million, respectively, for the same years. We

generated revenue of $133.5 million and $114.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and had net loss of $4.2 million and $6.2 million, respectively, for the same periods.

We believe that the growth of our business and our operating results will be dependent upon many factors, including our ability to add new clients, expand the usage of our solutions by our existing clients and their customers, integrate the businesses and technology platforms that we acquire and increase the breadth and depth of our payments and software capabilities by adding new solutions. While these areas present significant opportunities for us, they also pose challenges and risks that we must successfully address in order to sustain the growth of our business and improve our operating results.

While we have experienced significant growth and increased demand for our solutions over recent periods, we may continue to incur losses in the short term and may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future. Our marketing is focused on generating leads to develop our sales pipeline, building our brand and market awareness, scaling our network of partners and growing our business from our existing client base. We believe that these efforts will result in an increase in our client base, revenues, and improved margins in the long term. To manage any future growth effectively, we must continue to improve and expand our IT and financial infrastructure, our operating and administrative systems and controls, and our ability to manage headcount, capital, and processes in an efficient manner. Additionally, we face intense competition in our markets, and to succeed, we need to innovate and offer solutions that are differentiated from legacy payment solutions. We must also effectively hire, retain, train, and motivate qualified personnel and senior management. There are also circumstances beyond our control which can materially impact our business that we need to respond to, including, but not limited to fluctuations in exchange rates. If we are unable to successfully address these challenges, our business, operating results, and prospects could be adversely affected.

We had approximately 1,180 full-time FlyMates as of March 31, 2025, compared to approximately 1,235 full-time FlyMates as of March 31, 2024, a decrease of 4.5%.

2023 Follow-On Public Offering

On August 9, 2023, we entered into an underwriting agreement (Underwriting Agreement) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as representative of the several underwriters (Underwriters), in connection with the offer and sale of 8,000,000 shares of voting common stock, at a price to the public of $32.00 per share (the Primary Offering). In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, we granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to 1,200,000 additional shares of common stock (the Option).

The Primary Offering closed on August 14, 2023 and on September 12, 2023, the Underwriters exercised the Option in part and purchased an additional 500,000 shares of voting common stock at a price to the public of $32.00 per share (the Public Offering). We received $260.1 million in net proceeds from the Public Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $10.9 million and other offering costs of $1.1 million.

Recent Acquisitions

In February 2025, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the Agreement) to acquire the business of Sertifi LLC (Sertifi) for upfront cash consideration of $330 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments set forth in the Agreement, and contingent consideration of up to $10 million upon the completion or satisfaction of certain technical and commercial milestones by Sertifi. Sertifi is a vertical software and payments platform digitizing hospitality-specific workflows and associated payments. We paid the upfront cash consideration through a combination of cash on hand and $125 million borrowed from our existing 2024 Revolving Credit Facility. The acquisition of Sertifi was intended to accelerate the Company’s travel business and expand its offerings to support over 20,000 hotel locations globally. Sertifi contributed $3.0 million in platform revenue and $1.7 million in transactional revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

In August 2024, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Invoiced for an estimated total aggregate purchase price of approximately $52.3 million, consisting of approximately $47.8 million in cash consideration, net of cash acquired and up to $7.5 million of contingent consideration. The contingent consideration represents additional payments that we may be required to make in the future dependent on the successful achievement of revenue, cross-selling, product and security and IT milestones. Invoiced is a U.S.-based SaaS B2B company that provides accounts receivable software that automates all aspects of billing, collections, payments, reporting and forecasting within a single online platform. The acquisition of Invoiced was intended to accelerate our global expansion in our B2B vertical. Invoiced contributed $0.9 million in platform revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Restructuring

Our Revenue Model

We generate revenue from transactions and from platform and other fees as described below.

Transaction revenue includes fees earned from payment processing services provided to our clients, which is comprised of processing domestic and cross-border transactions. The fee is generally earned on each transaction through a rate applied to the total payment value of the transaction, which can vary based on the payment method, currency pairs being converted and the geographic region in which our clients and their customers reside. Payment processing services also include fixed fees per transaction, which generally relate to domestic payments processed. It also includes marketing fees from credit card service providers for marketing arrangements in which we perform certain marketing activities to increase the awareness of the credit card provider and promote certain methods of payments, which we consider to be ancillary to the payment processing solutions we provide to our clients.

Platform and other revenues primarily include (i) fees earned for the utilization of our platforms to optimize cash collections and student application processing, which include revenue earned from software subscription fees and usage based fees, (ii) fees for the establishment of payment plans on our payment platform, (iii) fees related to printing, mailing, and other services which we consider to be ancillary to the solutions we provide to our clients, (iv) commissions from insurance providers when an end-user purchases an insurance policy, and (v) revenue from interest earned on funds held for customers in interest-bearing accounts. Platform and other revenues has been referred to as platform and usage based fee revenue in prior filings.

Total Payment Volume

To grow revenue from clients we must facilitate the use of our payment platform by our clients to process the amounts paid to them by their customers. The more our clients use our platform and rely upon our features to automate their payments, the more payment volume is processed on our solution. This metric provides an important indication of the value of the transactions that our clients’ customers are completing on our payment platform and is an indicator of our ability to generate revenue from our clients. We define total payment volume as the total amount paid to our clients on our payments platforms in a given period.

Total payment volume is comprised of transaction payment volume and platform and other revenues payment volume. The following tables set forth the increase in our total payment volume, and the payment volume mix between transaction payment volume and platform and other revenues payment volume.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions)	2025		2024		$ Change			% Change
Transaction payment volume	$	6,426.0	$	4,999.6	$	1,426.4			29	%

Total payment volume	$	8,371.0	$	6,952.9	$	1,418.1			20	%

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

Increased Utilization by Our Clients and Their Customers

Our ability to monetize our payments platform and global payment network is an important part of our business model. Today, we charge a fee based on the total payment volume we process on behalf of our clients. Our revenue and payment volume increases as our clients process more transactions on our payment platform and more money is collected through our global payment network. Increased average size of the payments processed on our payment platform also increases our revenue. Our ability to influence clients to process more transactions on our platform will have a direct impact on our revenue.

In addition, sustaining our growth requires continued adoption of our platform by new clients and further adoption of use cases such as payment plans, by our clients’ customers. Our ability to influence our clients to expand their customers’ usage of our platform also depends on our ability to successfully introduce new solutions, such as our solutions to support payments by international education consultants and our B2B solutions.

Mix of Business on Our Platform

Our revenue is affected by several factors, including the amount of payment volume processed by us on behalf of our clients, the industry in which our clients operate, the currency in which payments are made and received, the method of payment and the number of payment plans initiated by our clients’ customers. For example, we recognize more transaction revenue as our clients engage in cross border payment flows compared to domestic payments, which may increase or decrease depending on the industry in which our clients operate. We may experience shifts in the type of revenue we earn (transaction revenue or platform and other revenues) depending on the nature of the activity of our clients and our clients’ customers on our platform.

Investment in Technology and Development and Sales and Marketing

We make significant investments in both new solutions and existing solution enhancement. New solution features and functionality are brought to market through a variety of distribution and promotional activities. We plan to continue to adopt emerging technologies, expand our library of software integrations and invest in the development of more features. At the same time, we are optimizing our systems and tools, consolidating our vendor footprint and automating processes. While we expect our expenses related to technology and development to increase, we believe these investments will contribute to long-term growth and profitability.

Additionally, we plan to continue to expand efforts to market our payment platform and global payment network directly to our clients through comprehensive marketing initiatives. We are focused on the effectiveness of sales and marketing spending and will continue to be strategic in maintaining efficient client acquisition in the next quarters, including adjusting spending levels as needed in response to changes in the economic environment.

Seasonality

Our operating results and operating metrics are subject to seasonality and volatility, which could result in fluctuations in our quarterly revenues and operating results or in perceptions of our business prospects. We have experienced in the past, and expect to continue to experience, seasonal fluctuations in our revenue, which can vary by geographic corridor and vertical. For instance, our revenue has historically been largest in the third quarter driven by our education peak season. Some variability results from seasonal events including the timing of when our education clients’ customers make their tuition payments on our payment platform and the number of business days in a month or quarter. We also experience volatility in certain other metrics, such as transactions processed, total payment volume and payment mix.

Economic Conditions and Resulting Consumer Spending Trends

Changes in macro-level consumer spending for education, healthcare and travel trends, including as a result of inflation or fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, could affect the amounts of volumes processed on our platform, thus resulting in fluctuations to our revenue streams.

Impacts Resulting From Government Changes to International Student Visa Policies

Revenue from our education clients, which primarily includes clients in the United States, Canada, U.K., Europe, and Asia Pacific/Australia, is affected by several factors, including policies enacted by government organizations around the world that cap the issuance of international student visas. In January 2024, the Canadian government announced what at

the time appeared to be a temporary intake cap on international student permit applications to stabilize new growth for a period of two years. This cap – intended to address Canada’s housing shortage, overburdened health systems, and rising costs of living – has reportedly reduced the number of international students coming to Canada by about 40% since implementation. Building on these changes, the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced in January 2025 that new study permits for international students will be reduced by 10% from the 2024 target of 485,000 to 437,000 in 2025 and 2026. When first instituted by the IRCC, the cap initially excluded students enrolled in master’s and PhD programs, but recent reports indicate that the 2025 and 2026 study permit intake cap will include master’s and doctoral students. Additionally, in November 2024, Canada ended its Student Direct Stream (SDS) program for expedited international student visa processing, and international students applying to study in Canada no longer need to prepay tuition to apply for a study permit. These limitations have resulted in a corresponding reduction in payment flows, which had an adverse effect on our business in the first quarter of 2025 and which we anticipate will continue to impact our Canada revenues and revenue growth in 2025.

Similarly, since late 2023, the Australian government has taken similar actions to tighten international student visa rules, including an increase in the amount of minimum savings that international students would need to have in order to obtain a visa, raising the standards of the English language proficiency requirements for student and graduate visas, a 125% increase in the visa fee for international students, and the imposition of a ban for holders of visitor visas and students holding temporary graduate visas from applying for a student visa while in Australia. In August 2024, the Australian government announced the setting of a national planning level to apply from January 1, 2025 and which is intended to limit the number of new overseas student places available in Australia – including a ceiling of 270,000 international students for calendar year 2025. However, in December 2024, the government announced a change of course, instead implementing a system to introduce two categories of student visa processing: “high priority” and “standard priority”, with all international education providers to receive high priority processing up to 80% of their indicative international student cap. After reaching 80%, the providers will receive standard priority processing. These new Australian government policies, including university quotas, slower visa processing, higher fees, and stricter financial and language requirements, has had an adverse impact on our business in the first quarter of 2025 and we anticipate will continue to impact our Australian revenues in 2025.

Other governments where our client institutions are located, including in the U.S., may introduce measures from time to time to manage the growth of the international student population in their respective countries, which may have adverse effects on our business. Our U.S. market saw slower growth in the first quarter of 2025 due to shifting visa trends. In addition, in the first quarter of 2025 U.S. policy shifts have prompted dramatic action to rescind student visas (including deportation of students), plan additional cutbacks to the volume of international student visa issuances and more closely scrutinize applications for international student visas, and to cut government support for higher education, adding to uncertainty around the number of students coming to the U.S. to study in the near future. Delays in issuances of visas or visa denials may discourage prospective international students from choosing U.S. institutions as places for study. The existing rules and any introduction of new rules further limiting the attractiveness of international study by the governments of countries where our client institutions are located has and is expected in the near term to continue to adversely impact the growth of our business in the applicable regions. We expect these changes to U.S. immigration policy and heightened trade tensions from the threat or imposition of tariffs will also dampen demands for international study and impact our revenue growth in the U.S. in 2025.

There is still a degree of uncertainty in terms of the impact the changes to international student visa policy and international trade policies will have on our U.S., Canadian and Australian education markets. We continue to see growth in new customers in our U.S., Canada and Australia education markets, providing a lever to offset some of the expected decline in new incoming international student growth resulting from these government changes to international student visa policies and international trade policies. Our business continues to remain strong amid these visa-related policy shifts, benefiting from our increasingly global and diversified footprint across verticals, sub-sectors, countries, currencies and clients.

Impact of Inflation

Inflation did not have a material effect on our cash flows and results of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Diversified Mix of Clients

We have a wide range of clients across our education, healthcare, travel and B2B verticals. Volumes and revenue from clients in education, our largest vertical, rely on international enrollments and student school preferences, which can fluctuate over time.

Dynamic Changes to Client Communication and Product Solutions

We initiated a series of refinements to our technology and personalization engine to optimize our clients’ ability to offer payment plans and communicate effectively and digitally with their customers. Similarly, we configured some of our education payment plan solutions for a very streamlined implementation in support of our clients’ requests for affordability solutions for their students that could be deployed with minimal IT involvement. While we continue to invest in our technology and product capabilities, our ability to continue providing streamlined and effective products through our technology platform may impact our ability to retain and win new clients in the future. We believe that our ability to help increase payment affordability has become more critical to our clients as the lack of affordability drives the need for more financial flexibility.

Business Continuity

We have a history of operating losses and while we have experienced significant revenue growth in recent years and achieved profitability on a GAAP basis in the year ended December 31, 2024, we are not certain whether or when we will obtain a high enough volume of revenue to sustain or increase our growth or achieve or maintain profitability in the future. We also expect our costs and expenses to increase in future periods, which could negatively affect our future operating results if our revenue does not increase. In particular, we intend to continue to strategically invest in headcount and technologies and systems to improve operating efficiencies, to further develop and enhance our solutions, including introducing new functionality, and to expand our marketing programs and sales teams to drive new client adoption, expand strategic partner integrations, and support international and industry expansion. Our operating results are also impacted by the mix of our revenue generated from our different revenue sources, which include transaction revenue and platform and other fee revenue. Changes in our revenue mix from quarter to quarter, including those derived from cross-border or domestic currency transactions, will impact our margins, and we may not be able to grow our gross margin adequately to achieve or sustain profitability. In addition, the mix of payment methods utilized by our clients’ customers may have an impact on our margins given that our costs associated with certain payment methods, such as credit cards, are higher than other payment methods accepted by our solutions, such as bank transfers. We are addressing operating losses by making continued improvements designed to create operating efficiencies and a focus on cost discipline, including investing in automation and product development to further enhance our offerings with a focus on scale and productivity across all areas. Beginning in the first quarter of 2025 and continuing into the second quarter of 2025, we implemented a restructuring plan designed to improve operational efficiencies, reduce operating costs and better align the Company’s workforce with current business needs, top strategic priorities and key growth opportunities. We believe these improvements, our strong product portfolio, client retention and established product market fit along with strong gross margins and cash flows from operations will help us achieve our goal of maintaining positive annual GAAP net income in the future. While we expect that our clients’ business and our business will continue to be adversely impacted, directly or indirectly, by the ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical issues, as of the date of this report. However, the extent of the ongoing impact of these macroeconomic events on our and our clients’ business, our markets and on global economic activity however, is uncertain and the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated with any certainty at this time.

With the ongoing conflict involving Israel, we continue to engage in active workforce planning to help Israeli FlyMates support the business without interruption and implement safety measures for FlyMates in Israel.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

We generate revenue from transactions and from platform and other fees as described under “Our Revenue Model”.

Payment Processing Services Costs

Payment processing services costs consist of costs incurred to process payment transactions which include banking and credit card processing fees, foreign currency translation costs, partner fees, personnel-related expenses for our FlyMates who facilitate these payments and personnel related expenses for our FlyMates who provide implementation services to our clients. We expect that payment processing services costs will increase in absolute dollars but may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue from period to period, as we continue to invest in scaling our processing operations and grow our revenue base.

Technology and Development

Technology and development includes (a) costs incurred in connection with the development of our solution and the improvement of existing solutions, including the amortization of software and website development costs incurred in developing our solution, which are capitalized, and acquired developed technology, (b) site operations and other infrastructure costs incurred, (c) amortization related to capitalized cost to fulfill a contract, (d) personnel-related expenses, including salaries, stock-based compensation and other expenses, (e) hardware and software engineering, consultant services and other costs associated with our technology platform and products, (f) research materials and facilities, and (g) depreciation and maintenance expense.

We believe delivering new functionality is critical to attract new clients and expand our relationship with existing clients. We expect to continue to make investments to expand our solutions in order to enhance our clients’ experience and satisfaction, and to attract new clients. We expect our technology and development expenses to increase in absolute dollars, but they may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue from period to period as we expand our technology and development team to develop new solutions and enhancements to existing solutions.

Selling and Marketing

Selling and marketing expenses consist of personnel-related expenses, including stock-based compensation expense, sales commissions, amortization of acquired client relationship intangible assets, marketing program expenses, travel related expenses and costs to market and promote our solutions through advertisements, marketing events, partnership arrangements, and direct client acquisition.

We focus our sales and marketing efforts on generating awareness of our business, platform, and solutions, creating sales leads, and establishing and promoting our brand. We plan to continue investing in sales and marketing efforts by driving our go-to-market strategies, building our brand awareness, and sponsoring additional marketing events; however, we will adjust our sales and marketing spend level as needed, and this may fluctuate from period to period, in response to changes in the economic environment.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist of personnel-related expenses, including stock-based compensation expense for finance, risk management, legal and compliance, human resources and IT functions, costs incurred for external professional services, as well as rent, and facility and insurance costs. We expect to incur additional general and administrative expenses as we continue to invest in our planned growth of our business. We also expect to increase the size of our general and administrative functions to support the growth in the business, and to operate as a public company. As a result, we expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars but may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue from period to period.

Restructuring

In February 2025, we announced the Restructuring Plan that is designed to improve operational efficiencies, reduce operating costs and better align our workforce with current business needs, top strategic priorities and key growth opportunities. Restructuring expenses included restructuring and restructuring related expenses incurred as part of the Restructuring Plan announced in February 2025, related to employee transition, notice period, severance, employee benefits and facilitation costs.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists of interest, amortization of debt issuance costs and unused commitment fees on our 2024 Revolving Credit Facility and 2021 Revolving Credit Facility.

On February 23, 2024, we entered into our 2024 Revolving Credit Facility for a total commitment of $125.0 million. The 2024 Revolving Credit Facility replaced the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility of $50.0 million, which were entered into in July 2021, under which $50.0 million was available to Flywire as of December 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, there was $60.0 million and $0.0 million in indebtedness outstanding under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility or 2021 Revolving Credit Facility, respectively.

Interest Income

Interest income consists of interest on cash held in interest bearing operating accounts, including money market funds, and investments in available-for-sale debt securities.

Gain (Loss) from Remeasurement of Foreign Currency

Gain (loss) from remeasurement of foreign currency consists of gains and losses from the remeasurement of foreign currency transactions into its functional currency.

(Benefit from) Provision for Income Tax

(Benefit from) provision for income taxes consists primarily of foreign and state income taxes. We have historically generated net operating losses (NOL) carryforwards for U.S. Federal and state tax purposes as we expand the scale of our business activities. Changes in the U.S. and foreign tax law may impact our overall (benefit from) provision for income taxes in the future.

We have a valuation allowance on our net U.S. deferred tax assets, including federal and state NOLs. We expect to maintain these valuation allowances until it becomes more likely than not that the benefit of our deferred tax assets are realized through future taxable income generated in these jurisdictions.

Revenue

Revenue was $133.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $114.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $19.4 million or 17.0%. Revenue is comprised of transaction revenue and platform and other revenues as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(dollars in millions)	2025		2024		$ Change		% Change
Transaction revenue	$	108.5	$	95.2	$	13.3		14.0	%
Platform and other revenues		25.0		18.9		6.1		32.3	%
Revenue	$	133.5	$	114.1	$	19.4		17.0	%

Transaction revenue was $108.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $95.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $13.3 million or 14.0%. The increase in transaction revenue was primarily driven by growth in transaction payment volumes inclusive of the Sertifi acquisition for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from both our existing clients and new clients added during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to three months ended March 31, 2024. Our transaction payment volume outpaced our revenue growth during the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to the increase in domestic transactions that have a lower average monetization rate. We experienced growth in transaction payment volume across most regions and verticals during the period, excluding Canada, which decreased primarily due to Canada’s international student permit applications cap introduced earlier in 2024. Transaction payment volume increased approximately 28% during the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $6.4 billion compared to $5.0 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Platform and other revenues were $25.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $18.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $6.1 million or 32.3%. The increase in platform and other revenues was driven by the Sertifi and Invoiced acquisitions, an increase in healthcare platform products, revenue from interest earned on funds held for customers in interest-bearing accounts, offset by a decrease in revenue for insurance products.

Payment Processing Services Costs

Payment processing services costs were $50.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $41.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $8.9 million or 21.3%.The increase in payment processing services costs is correlated with the increase in transaction payment volume of 28% over the same period.

Technology and Development

Technology and development expenses were $16.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $16.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $0.2 million or 1.2%. The increase in technology and development cost was primarily driven by an increase in personnel costs and stock-based compensation expense, offset by a decrease in software tools. Personnel costs were $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $0.4 million or 3.8%. The increase in personnel costs was primarily driven by an increase in headcount within our technology and development teams prior to the restructuring that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Stock-based compensation expense was $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $0.6 million or 23.1%. The increase in stock-based compensation is attributable to equity grants awarded to existing and new FlyMates. Software tools were $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $0.5 million or 31.3%. The decrease in software tools was primarily due to optimization of our technology infrastructure.

Selling and Marketing

Selling and marketing expenses were $36.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $30.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $6.5 million or 21.6%. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was primarily driven by an increase in personnel costs, stock-based compensation expense, professional fees, software tools and depreciation and amortization expense. Personnel costs were $18.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $16.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $2.2 million or 13.5%. The increase in personnel costs was primarily driven by an increase in headcount within our selling and marketing teams prior to the restructuring that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Stock-based compensation expense was $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $0.6 million or 15.0%. The increase in stock-based compensation was attributable to equity grants awarded to existing and new FlyMates. Professional fees were $6.1 million for the three

months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $1.7 million or 38.6%. The increase in professional fees was primarily due to increases in third party commissions. Software tools were $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $0.4 million or 57.1%. The increase in software tools was primarily due to the acquisition of Sertifi. Depreciation and amortization was $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $1.1 million or 57.9%. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was primarily due to acquired intangible assets related to the Sertifi and Invoiced acquisitions.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses were $33.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $31.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $1.5 million or 4.7%. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by increases in acquisition costs and the change in fair value of contingent consideration, partially offset by a decrease in personnel costs. Acquisition costs were $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $2.4 million. The increase in acquisition costs was attributable to the Sertifi acquisition during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in the fair value of contingent consideration was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to a reduction of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing a change of $0.7 million. The increase in the fair value of contingent consideration during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was due to the time value of money as we progress closer to payment of the contingent consideration liability for the StudyLink and Invoiced acquisitions and the decrease in the fair value of contingent consideration during the three months ending March 31, 2024, was primarily due to a revised estimate on a cross-sell target related to the StudyLink acquisition. Personnel costs were $11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $13.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $1.3 million or 9.8%. The decrease in personnel costs was primarily driven by a decrease in bonus expense for a reduction in annual incentives.

Restructuring

Restructuring expenses were $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. There were no restructuring expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Restructuring expenses included restructuring and restructuring-related expenses incurred as part of the Restructuring Plan announced in February 2025, related primarily to severance payments and other related expenses of $5.1 million and $2.2 million of expense related to the acceleration of stock-based compensation for terminated employees.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we drew down $125.0 million and repaid $65.0 million from our 2024 Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2025, there was $60.0 million outstanding indebtedness under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility. Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense, amortization of debt issuance costs and unused commitment fees related to our 2024 Revolving Credit Facility and our former 2021 Revolving Credit Facility.

Interest Income

Interest income was $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $3.0 million or 50.8%. The decrease in interest income was primarily attributable to the decrease in our cash balance as a result of spending cash on our share repurchase program and the acquisition of Sertifi.

Gain (loss) from Remeasurement of Foreign Currency

Gain (loss) from remeasurement of foreign currency was $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $(4.4) million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $8.0 million or 181.8%. The increase was primarily the result of the remeasurement of foreign currency intercompany loans and impact of fluctuations in exchange rates during respective remeasurement periods.

Gain on available-for-sale debt securities

Gain from sale of available-for-sale debt securities was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to no gain, as there were no available-for-sale debt security investments during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

(Benefit from) Provision for Income Taxes

(Benefit from) provision for income taxes was $(0.9) million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $2.5 million or 156.3%.The income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was driven by the Company's pre-tax loss position in the period. The income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to activity in the Company's foreign subsidiaries and U.S. state taxes.

Our effective tax rate was 17.5 % for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to (35.1%) for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Key Operating Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP financial measures. The following table sets forth our key operating metrics and non-GAAP measures for the periods presented. All dollar amounts are rounded and as a result, certain amounts may not recalculate using the rounded amounts provided.

Revenue Less Ancillary Services, FX Neutral Revenue Less Ancillary Services, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Non-GAAP Operating Expenses

We use non-GAAP financial measures to supplement financial information presented on a GAAP basis. We believe that excluding certain items from our GAAP results allows management to better understand our consolidated financial performance from period to period and better project our future consolidated financial performance as forecasts are developed at a level of detail different from that used to prepare GAAP-based financial measures. Moreover, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide our stakeholders with useful information to help them evaluate our operating results by facilitating an enhanced understanding of our operating performance and enabling them to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial measures presented here. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other

companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

We use supplemental measures of our performance which are derived from our consolidated financial information, but which are not presented in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include the following:

•

Revenue Less Ancillary Services - Revenue Less Ancillary Services represents our consolidated revenue in accordance with GAAP less (i) pass-through cost for printing and mailing services and (ii) marketing fees. We exclude these amounts to arrive at this supplemental non-GAAP financial measure as we view these services as ancillary to the primary services we provide to our clients.

•

FX Neutral Revenue Less Ancillary Services - FX Neutral Revenue Less Ancillary Services represents Revenue Less Ancillary Services adjusted to show presentation on a FX Neutral basis. The constant currency information presented is calculated by translating current period results using prior period weighted average foreign currency exchange rates. We analyze FX Neutral Revenue Less Ancillary Services to provide a comparable framework for assessing how the business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations.

•

Adjusted Gross Profit - Adjusted Gross Profit represents Revenue Less Ancillary Services, less cost of revenue adjusted to (i) exclude pass-through cost for printing services, (ii) offset marketing fees against costs incurred and (iii) exclude depreciation and amortization, including accelerated amortization on the impairment of customer set-up costs tied to technology integration, if applicable. Management believes this presentation supplements the GAAP presentation of gross profit with a useful measure of the gross profit of our payment-related services, which are the primary services we provide to our clients.

•

Adjusted Gross Margin - Adjusted Gross Margin represents Adjusted Gross Profit divided by Revenue Less Ancillary Services. Management believes this presentation supplements the GAAP presentation of gross margin with a useful measure of the gross margin of our payment-related services, which are the primary services we provide to our clients.

•

EBITDA - EBITDA represents our consolidated net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP adjusted to include (i) interest expense, (ii) interest income, (iii) (benefit from) provision for income taxes and (iv) depreciation and amortization.

•

Adjusted EBITDA - Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA further adjusted by excluding (i) stock-based compensation expense and related payroll taxes, (ii) the impact from the change in fair value measurement for contingent consideration associated with acquisitions, (iii) gain (loss) from the remeasurement of foreign currency, (iv) indirect taxes related to intercompany activity, (v) acquisition related transaction costs, (vi) employee retention costs, such as incentive compensation associated with acquisition activities, (vii) restructuring and (viii) gain (loss) from investments. Management believes that the exclusion of these amounts to calculate Adjusted EBITDA provides useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business.

•

Adjusted EBITDA Margin - Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenue Less Ancillary Services. Management believes this presentation supplements the GAAP presentation of gross margin with a useful measure of the gross margin of our payment-related services, which are the primary services we provide to our clients.

•

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2025, our principal source of liquidity is cash and cash equivalents of $190.5 million, short-term available-for-sale debt securities of $64.8 million and the available balance under our 2024 Revolving Credit Facility of $65.0 million. Cash equivalents is comprised primarily of money market funds and bank deposits. Our short-term available-for-sale debt securities are comprised of corporate bonds, U.S. Government obligations and asset backed securities.

On August 6, 2024, the Company announced a share repurchase program of up to $150 million of outstanding voting and non-voting common stock for an indefinite period as part of the Company’s Repurchase Program. For additional information on our Repurchase Program, see Note 13- Stockholders’ Equity in our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 3,562,643 shares of its common stock for an aggregate amount, including commissions and accrued excise tax, of $48.4 million under the Repurchase Program. The repurchased shares are currently being held as treasury stock. As of March 31, 2025, approximately $57.0 million of the originally authorized amount under the Repurchase Program remained available for future repurchases.

On February 23, 2024, we entered into our 2024 Revolving Credit Facility for a total commitment of $125.0 million, which replaced the Revolving Credit Facility of $50.0 that was in effect as of December 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we drew down $125.0 million under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility in connection with the acquisition of Sertifi. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we repaid 65.0 million against the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility. The outstanding balance of the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility was $60.0 million at March 31, 2025. There was no outstanding balance of the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2024.

On August 14, 2023 and September 12, 2023, we completed our follow-on public offering which resulted in aggregate net proceeds of $260.1 million, after underwriting discounts and commissions of $10.9 million and other issuance costs of $1.1 million.

We believe that our existing cash will be sufficient to support our expected working capital needs and material cash requirements for at least the next 12 months from the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our revenue growth rate, the timing and the amount of cash received from clients, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the price at which we are able to purchase public cloud capacity, expenses associated with our international expansion, the introduction of platform enhancements, and the continuing market adoption of our platform. In the future, we may enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products, and

technologies. In addition, we have, and may in the future, repurchase shares of our voting and non-voting common stock from time to time under our Repurchase Program. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that we require additional financing, we may not be able to raise such financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in continued innovation, we may not be able to compete successfully, which would harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flow information for the periods presented:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)	2025			2024
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(78.9	)	$	(38.1	)
Net cash used in investing activities		(237.9	)		(1.5	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		11.6			2.2
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents		0.4			1.8
Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents	$	(304.7	)	$	(35.6	)

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities consists of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in other assets and liabilities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used by operating activities of $78.9 million was primarily the result of net loss of $4.2 million, adjusted for non-cash expenses of $25.0 million, which primarily included stock-based compensation expenses of $18.2 million and depreciation and amortization of $5.5 million, offset by $99.7 million related to changes in our operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, cash used in operating activities of $38.1 million was primarily the result of net loss of $6.2 million adjusted for non-cash expenses of $18.3 million, which primarily include stock-based compensation expenses of $14.8 million and depreciation and amortization of $4.3 million, offset by changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $50.2 million.

Net cash used in operating activities was $78.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $38.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease of $40.8 million in our net cash used in operating activities was primarily related to a net decrease in our operating assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions of $99.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to a net decrease of $50.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. This decrease was driven by an increase in funds payable to clients of $24.4 million compared to the prior year period primarily as a result of the timing of payments to our clients in the applicable period, a decrease in funds receivable from payment partners of $11.9 million, as a result of the timing of collections from our partners in the applicable period and a decrease in prepaid expense, other current assets and other assets of $11.0 million, as a result of the timing of payments for certain prepaid subscriptions and other receivables. The timing of payments to our clients will vary from period to period based on when our client’s customer payment for a particular transaction is made and when we are contractually required to remit such payment to our client. The timing of collections from our partners will vary from period to period based on when our clients’ customer payment for a particular transaction is made, as well as the customer’s payment method which impacts the timing of settlement of the payment. This net increase in cash used in operating activities was also impacted by our operating cash flows from our net income (after adjustments for an increase in non-cash expenses of $5.3 million) which increased by $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the prior period, reflective of the growth in transaction payment volumes, from both our existing clients and new clients and gains in foreign currency translation remeasurement of foreign currency, offset by increases in our costs and operating expenses, the largest of which was our payment processing services costs.

Investing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash used in investing activities of $237.9 million was primarily the result of our acquisition of Sertifi for cash purchase consideration of $319.8 million, net of cash acquired and purchase of short-term and long-term investments for $15.3 million, offset by the proceeds from the maturity and sale of short and long-term investments of $98.7 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, cash used in investing activities of $1.5 million was the result of approximately $1.3 million of capitalization of internally developed software and approximately $0.3 million of purchase of property and equipment.

Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash provided by financing activities of $11.6 million was primarily the result of drawdowns from our 2024 Credit Facility of $125.0 million offset by the repayment of $65.0 million on our 2024 Credit Facility and common stock repurchase under our share repurchase program of $49.3 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, cash provided by financing activities of $2.2 million was the result of proceeds from exercise of stock options of $1.6 million, proceeds from issuance of stock under the ESPP of $1.4 million, offset by payments of debt issuance costs of $0.8 million.

As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, there was $60.0 million and $0.0 million outstanding indebtedness under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenue generated, and reported expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates described in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We have reviewed all recently issued standards and have determined that, other than as disclosed in Note 1 - Business Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, such standards are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or do not otherwise apply to our operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have operations both within the United States and globally, and we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business, including foreign currency fluctuations and the effects of interest rate changes. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about these market risks is described below.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk relating to our cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale debt securities. We hold cash in both non-interest and interest-bearing bank accounts. Our corporate investment portfolio consists primarily of money market funds, which are AAA-rated and comprised of liquid, high quality debt securities issued by the U.S. government, and investments in available-for-sale corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations, treasury bill, foreign agency securities, commercial paper, agency bond and asset-backed debt securities. An immediate 10% increase

or decrease in interest rates would not have a material effect on our financial position, resulting of operations or cash flows.

We are also exposed to interest rate risk related to our 2024 Revolving Credit Facility. Our 2024 Revolving Credit Facility consists of ABR borrowings or Term SOFR borrowings, at our option.

ABR borrowings bear interest at the ABR plus the applicable rate. Term SOFR borrowings bear interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR for the interest period plus the applicable rate. The ABR rate is based on the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1/2 of 1%, or (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR for a one-month interest period, plus 1%. The Adjusted Term SOFR is equal to the sum of (a) Term SOFR for such interest period, plus (b) the SOFR adjustment of 0.10%. The applicable rate is based upon our consolidated total net leverage ratio as of the most recent consolidated financial information and ranges from 1.0% to 2.5%. The 2024 Revolving Credit Facility incurs a commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.35% based upon our consolidated total net leverage ratio as of the most recent consolidated financial information assessed on the average available commitment.

As of March 31, 2025, there was $60.0 million outstanding indebtedness under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2024, there was no outstanding indebtedness under the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility. An immediate 10% increase or decrease in interest rates would not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Information provided by the sensitivity analysis is not a prediction of future events and does not necessarily represent the actual changes that would occur.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

For our cross-border payments, we have short term foreign currency exchange exposure, typically between one and four days. Our cross-border payment service allows our client’s customers to use their local currency to pay our clients. When a client’s customer books a cross-border payment in the customer’s local currency, we provide an amount to be paid to the client in that local currency based on the foreign exchange rate then in effect. The client’s customer then has a certain amount of time to complete payment—typically one to four days—that may differ depending on the payment method selected. When our client’s customer makes the payment and we process these funds to our clients through our global payment network, the actual exchange rate may differ from the exchange rate that was initially used to calculate the amount payable by the client’s customer due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. The amount our client’s customers pay in their local currency is not adjusted for changes in foreign exchange rates between booking the transaction and the date the funds are paid and converted. If the value of the currency used by the client’s customer weakens relative to the currency in which funds are remitted to our clients, we may be required to cover the shortfall in remitted funds. This could have an unfavorable effect on our cash flows and operating results. We have been leveraging our in-house currency hedging algorithms since 2014, including entering into non-deliverable forward foreign currency contracts, to mitigate the volatility related to fluctuations in the foreign exchange rates.

Our cash flows and operating results may also be impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and various currencies, in particular the British Pound. The value of our revenue and profits in local currencies may be worth more or less in U.S. Dollars due to a strengthening or weakening, respectively, of those currencies against the U.S. Dollar. For example, as the U.S. Dollar weakened against several currencies, including the British Pound, relative to the prior year, these foreign exchange impacts decreased our reported revenue in U.S. Dollars by approximately $(2.0) million compared to the prior year on a FX Neutral basis.

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may also impact the value of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of our entities. Our reporting currency and the functional currency of our subsidiaries, with the exception of our U.K. and Australian subsidiaries, is the U.S. Dollar. The functional currency for our U.K. and Australian subsidiaries is the local currency, or British Pound and Australian Dollar, respectively. Financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are translated from local currency into U.S. Dollars using exchange rates at the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities, and average exchange rates in effect during the period for revenue and expenses. Resulting translation adjustments are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in our consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses from the remeasurement of foreign currencies into functional currencies are recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. A potential change in foreign exchange rates of 10% from such remeasurement would have impacted income (loss) before income taxes by approximately $21.0 million and $24.7 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Inflation Risk

Inflation did not have a material effect on our cash flows and results of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2025. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through increase in prices of our product offerings.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation and supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, respectively), have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a 15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a- 15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including patent, commercial, product liability, employment, class action, whistleblower, and other litigation and claims, as well as governmental and other regulatory investigations and proceedings. In addition, third parties may from time to time assert claims against us in the form of letters and other communications. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that we believe to be material, individually or in the aggregate, to our business or condensed consolidated financial statements. The results of any future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

In the course of enhancing our sanctions compliance function, we initiated an internal review that identified issues related to our compliance with sanctions, including payments that may have originated from sanctioned jurisdictions or sanctioned persons. Although Flywire continues to evaluate whether these or other transactions constitute potential violations of OFAC sanctions (including whether certain of these payments may have been authorized by general licenses or license exemptions under the relevant sanctions regulations), Flywire has made voluntary submissions to OFAC to report apparent violations and provide supplemental information. Flywire is currently engaging with OFAC to resolve these matters. Based upon the results of the internal investigation completed to date, we do not believe that the amount of any loss incurred as a result of this matter would be material to our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in shares of our common stock, you should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of or that we deem immaterial may also become important factors that adversely affect our business. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, liquidity, operating results, and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

We have a history of operating losses and may not achieve or sustain profitability in the future.

We were incorporated in 2009 and although we have generated net income for the year ended December 31, 2024, we have incurred net losses in the past, and may continue to incur net losses in the future. We generated net income of $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, and generated net losses of $8.6 million and $39.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and net loss of $4.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. In addition, as of March 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $175.0 million. We have experienced significant revenue growth in recent periods and we are not certain whether or when we will obtain a high enough volume of revenue to sustain or increase our growth or achieve or maintain profitability in the future. We also expect our costs and expenses to increase in future periods, which could negatively affect our future operating results if our revenue does not increase. In particular, we intend to continue to strategically and selectively invest in headcount, to further develop our solutions, including introducing new functionality, and to expand our marketing programs and sales teams to drive new client adoption, expand strategic partner integrations, and support international and product expansion. Our operating results are also impacted by the mix of our revenue generated from our different revenue sources, which include transaction revenue and platform and other fee revenue. Changes in our revenue mix from quarter to quarter, including those derived from cross-border or domestic currency transactions, will impact our margins, and we may not be able to grow our gross margin adequately to achieve or sustain profitability. In addition, the mix of payment methods utilized by our clients’ customers may have an impact on our margins given that our costs associated with certain payment methods, such as credit cards, are higher than other payment methods accepted by our solutions, such as bank transfers. Due to the cross-border nature of much of our business, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, slowdowns in international mobility and other regional considerations may affect our operating results. We will also face increased compliance and security costs associated with growth, the expansion of our client base, and being a public company. Our efforts to grow our business may be costlier than we expect, and we may not be able to increase our revenue enough to offset our increased operating expenses. We may incur significant losses in the future for several reasons, including the other risks described herein, and unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays, and other unknown events. If we are unable to achieve and sustain profitability, the value of our business and common stock may significantly decrease.

If the assumptions we use to plan our business are incorrect or change in reaction to changes in our markets, or if we are unable to maintain consistent revenue or revenue growth, it may be difficult to achieve and maintain profitability. Our financial results from any prior quarterly or annual periods should not be relied upon as an indication of our future revenue or growth in revenue, gross profit or volume of payments processed.

In addition, we expect to continue to expend substantial management time, financial and other resources on:

•

sales, marketing, relationship management and client support, including an expansion of our sales organization, and new client support and payer retention initiatives;

•

our technology infrastructure, including systems architecture, scalability, availability, performance, and security;

•

our technology development, including investments in our technology development team and the development of new solutions and new functionality;

•

expanding into more international markets;

•

retaining existing clients, attracting new clients and increasing the number of our clients’ customers that use our solutions;

•

acquisitions or strategic investments;

•

regulatory compliance and risk management; and

•

general administration, including increased insurance, legal and accounting expenses associated with being a public company.

These investments may not result in increased revenue growth in our business. If we are unable to increase our revenue at a rate sufficient to offset the expected increase in our costs, our business, financial position and operating results will be harmed, and we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability over the long term.

We have a short operating history at our current scale in a rapidly and significantly evolving industry and, as a result, our past results may not be indicative of future operating performance.

We have a short history operating at our current scale in a rapidly and significantly evolving industry that may not develop in a manner favorable to our business. This relatively short operating history makes it difficult to assess our future performance with certainty. You should consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties we may encounter.

Our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to, among other things:

•

cost-effectively acquire new clients, retain existing clients, increase the number of our clients’ customers that use our solutions and sell additional functionality to our clients;

•

maintain and increase our market share;

•

avoid pricing pressure on our solutions which would compress our margins;

•

effectively market our solutions;

•

enhance our existing solutions and develop new solutions;

•

increase awareness of our brand and maintain our reputation;

•

develop new technologies, adapt to technology changes and evolving industry standards and to incorporate new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, into our solutions;

•

offer seamless experience for our clients and their customers, including all user facing attributes ranging from the user interface to client and customer support;

•

anticipate and respond to microeconomic and macroeconomic changes;

•

expand our solutions and geographic reach, including with respect to B2B and travel payments;

•

our decision to exit certain markets, or our inability to process payments from certain jurisdictions we had previously served;

•

anticipate and effectively respond to changing trends and the preferences of clients and their customers;

•

compete effectively;

•

avoid interruptions in our business from information technology (IT) downtime, an inability to manage emerging technology risks (including those posed by generative AI or other tools), cybersecurity breaches, or labor stoppages;

•

effectively manage our growth;

•

effectively identify and manage risks, including foreign currency exchange risk;

•

hire, integrate, and retain talented people at all levels of our organization;

•

maintain the quality of our technology infrastructure;

•

compliance with multiple, conflicting and changing governmental laws and regulations, including with respect to employment, tax, competition, workplace and sustainability and other social matters;

•

global pandemics, such as COVID-19, or other public health emergencies;

•

retain our existing proprietary global network of banking and other payment partners and add new banking and other payment partners to scale our business; and

•

retain our existing technology partners that allow us to provide alternative payment methods and add new technology partners to scale our business.

If we fail to address the risks and difficulties that we face, including those associated with the challenges listed above as well as those described elsewhere in this section titled “Risk Factors”, our business and operating results will be adversely affected.

If we are unable to retain our current clients, attract new clients and increase the number of our clients’ customers that use our solutions or sell additional functionality to our clients, our revenue growth and operating results will be adversely affected.

To increase our revenue, in addition to acquiring new clients, we must continue to retain existing clients, increase the volume of payments made by our clients’ customers and sell additional functionality to our clients. We expect to derive a significant portion of our revenue from the renewal of existing clients’ contracts and sales of additional features and solutions to existing clients. As the market for our solutions matures, solutions evolve, and competitors introduce lower cost or differentiated products or services that are perceived to compete with our solutions, our ability to attract (and our clients’ ability to attract) new customers and maintain our current client base and clients’ customer usage could be hindered. As a result, we may be unable to retain existing clients or increase the usage of our solutions by them or their customers, which would have an adverse effect on our business, revenue, gross profit, gross margins, and other operating results, and accordingly, on the trading price of our common stock.

As the market for our solutions matures, or as new or existing competitors introduce new products or services that compete with our solutions, we may experience pricing pressure. This competition and pricing pressure could have an adverse effect on our ability to retain existing clients or attract new clients at prices that are consistent with our pricing model, operating budget and expected operating margins. In particular, it has become more common in the education sector for competitors to offer generous revenue sharing arrangements for clients we target. Our business could be adversely affected if clients or their customers perceive that features incorporated into alternative products reduce the need for our solutions or if they prefer to use competitive services. If we are unable to attract new clients and increase the number of our clients’ customers that use our solutions, our revenue growth and operating results will be adversely affected. Further, in an effort to attract new clients and increase usage by their customers, we may need to offer simpler, lower-priced payment options, which may reduce our revenue.

Our ability to sell additional functionality to our existing clients may require more sophisticated and costly sales efforts, especially for our larger clients with more senior management and established accounts receivable solutions. Similarly, the rate at which our clients deploy additional solutions from us depends on several factors, including general economic conditions, the availability of client technical personnel to implement our solutions, and the pricing of additional

functionality. If our efforts to sell additional functionality to our clients are not successful, our business and growth prospects would suffer.

Contracts with our clients generally have a stated initial term of three years, are not subject to termination for convenience and automatically renew for one-year subsequent terms. Our clients may negotiate terms less advantageous to us upon renewal, which may reduce our revenue. If our clients fail to renew their contracts, renew their contracts upon terms less favorable to us or at lower fee levels or fail to purchase new solutions from us, our revenue may decline or our future revenue growth may be constrained. In addition, certain of our clients are subject to requirements to issue requests for proposals (RFPs) to open up competition for their ongoing business notwithstanding their satisfaction with our solutions. In order to retain their business, we may be required to accept terms or pricing conditions less favorable to us than would be the case with automatic renewal of an existing contract. Should any of our clients terminate their relationship with us after implementation has begun, we would not only lose our time, effort and resources invested in such implementation, but we would also have lost the opportunity to leverage those resources to build a relationship with other clients over that same period of time.

We may experience quarterly fluctuations in our operating results, as well as our key metrics, due to a number of factors which make our future results difficult to predict and could cause our operating results to fall below expectations or our guidance.

Our operating results, and key metrics, may fluctuate due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control. As a result, comparing our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful. Our past results should not be relied on as an indication of our future performance. If our operating results or key metrics fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts or below any guidance we may provide to the market, the price of our common stock could decline substantially.

Our operating results have varied in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. In addition to other risk factors listed in this section titled “Risk Factors”, factors that may affect our quarterly operating results, business and financial condition include the following:

•

demand for our solutions and the number, volume and timing of payments processed;

•

timing of tuition payments;

•

actual or threatened government restrictions or related limitations or delays on the issuances of visas, such as recently enacted policies in Canada, Australia and the U.S.;

•

market acceptance of our current and future solutions;

•

our revenue mix in a particular quarter;

•

the mix of payment methods and currencies utilized by our clients’ customers in a particular quarter;

•

a slowdown or delay in spending on IT and software by our current and/or prospective clients;

•

sales cycles and performance of our direct and indirect sales force;

•

budgeting and implementation cycles of our current or potential clients;

•

foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;

•

the management, performance and expansion of our domestic and international operations;

•

the rate of renewals of contracts with our clients;

•

changes in the competitive dynamics of our markets;

•

our ability to control and predict costs, including our operating expenses;

•

clients delaying purchasing decisions, including in anticipation of new products or product enhancements by us or our competitors;

•

the seasonality and cyclical nature of our business;

•

failure to successfully manage or integrate any acquisitions, including our most recent acquisitions of Sertifi, Cohort Go, StudyLink and Invoiced;

•

the outcome or publicity surrounding any pending or threatened lawsuits or government investigations;

•

general economic and political conditions in our domestic and international markets, including heightened interest rates, imposition of tariffs, inflation and fluctuations in supply chains, regional or global economic recession, and restrictions on cross-border travel or commerce;

•

changes in the level of scrutiny applied by regulators, clients and investors on our social impact efforts;

•

unexpected events, including those resulting from climate change, international or civil conflicts and wars, or other geopolitical events;

•

expected or actual extended U.S. federal government shutdowns, priorities of the U.S. presidential administration and related changes in laws, regulations or policies, which among other things could result in increased limitations on visa issuances, geopolitical uncertainty and impact educational financial aid payments; and

•

global pandemics, such as COVID-19, or other public health emergencies and the responses thereto.

In addition, we may in the future experience fluctuations in our gross and operating margins due to changes in the mix of our domestic and international payments and the mix of payment methods, including an increase in the use of credit cards, and currencies used by our clients’ customers to make payments.

Based upon the factors described above and those described elsewhere in this section titled “Risk Factors”, we have a limited ability to forecast the amount and mix of future revenues and expenses, which may cause our operating results to fall below our estimates or the expectations of public market analysts and investors.

Our restructuring plan may not yield its intended efficiencies and could strain resources, negatively impact workforce morale, and slow down execution of our strategic plans.

In February 2025, we announced a restructuring plan that is designed to improve operational efficiencies, reduce operating costs and better align our workforce with current business needs, top strategic priorities and key growth opportunities (Restructuring Plan). As part of the Restructuring Plan we have reduced our workforce by approximately 10%. This reduction in force, and any other future reductions, and the attrition that may occur following them could result in the loss of institutional knowledge and expertise and the reallocation and combination of certain roles and responsibilities across our company, all of which could adversely affect our operations. These actions and other additional measures we might take to reduce costs may potentially result in a strain our workforce, divert management attention, yield attrition beyond our intended reduction in force, negatively impact employee morale and productivity, cause us to delay, limit, reduce or eliminate certain strategic plans or otherwise interfere with our ability to operate and grow our business effectively, each of which could have an adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition. Additionally, as we are operating our business with a different level and mix of employees, we face additional risk that we might not be able to execute on our strategic plans and product roadmap, which may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results. Moreover, the workforce reduction we are implementing, though currently planned to be temporary, may negatively impact our ability to attract, integrate, retain and motivate highly qualified employees, make it difficult for us to pursue new opportunities and initiatives, and may harm our reputation with current or prospective employees.

Our operational and business portfolio reviews may not result in improvements to our financial performance, strategy, or operations, and we face a number of risks related to such reviews.

We are currently undertaking a comprehensive operational and business portfolio review that is expected to encompass geographies, products, verticals, and cost structure, and explore various options and an operational cost-saving review to identify efficiencies and synergies across all of our business areas, including opportunities to combine and optimize systems and processes. Implementation of a go forward plan and any other cost-saving initiatives, including possible future restructuring efforts, may be costly and disruptive to our business, the expected costs and charges may be greater than forecasted, and the estimated cost savings may be lower than forecasted. We may not achieve the desired

strategic, operational, and financial benefits of any actions taken as a result of our operational and business portfolio reviews. Further, we may not be able to successfully execute the desired changes. During the pendency of these reviews or any transaction that may occur as a result of these reviews, we may be subject to risks related to a decline in the business or employee morale and turnover, as well as distraction of management from our business and clients, and investors may not react favorably to our decisions, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and the market price of our common stock. If we are unable to successfully complete our operational and business portfolio reviews or we are unable to complete the proposed outcomes of these reviews or they do not meet our strategic objectives, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Our operational and business portfolio reviews are ongoing, and we are continuing to carefully consider the full range of options for maximizing value to our shareholders, including potential transactions with third parties and other strategic and financial alternatives. There can be no assurance that the operational and business portfolio reviews will result in any particular action or that a transaction will be consummated, nor can there be any assurance regarding the timing of any action or transaction. We have not set a deadline or definitive timetable for the completion of our reviews, and we can provide no assurance that any actions taken or any transaction or other strategic alternative we may pursue will achieve the anticipated cost savings, operating efficiencies or have a positive impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

We expect our revenue mix to vary over time, which could affect our gross profit, gross margin and results of operations.

We expect our revenue mix to vary over time due to a number of factors. Shifts in our business mix from quarter to quarter could produce substantial variation in revenue recognized. Further, our gross profit, gross margins and results of operations could be affected by changes in revenue mix and costs, together with numerous other factors, including payment methods and currencies, pricing pressure from competitors, increases in credit card usage on our solutions and associated network fees, changes in payment volume across verticals and the portion of such payment volume for which we perform foreign exchange. Any one of these factors or the cumulative effects of certain of these factors may result in significant fluctuations in our gross profit, gross margin and results of operations. This variability and unpredictability could result in our failure to meet internal expectations or those of securities analysts or investors for a particular period. If we fail to meet or exceed such expectations for these or any other reasons, the market price of our common stock could decline.

If our efforts to attract new clients and increase the number of our clients’ customers that use our solutions are unsuccessful, our revenue growth and operating results will be adversely affected.

Our future growth and profitability will depend in large part upon the effectiveness and efficiency of our efforts to attract new clients and increase the number of our clients’ customers that use our solutions. While we intend to dedicate resources to attracting new clients and increasing the number of our clients’ customers that use our solutions, our ability to do so depends in large part on the success of these efforts and the success of the marketing channels we use to promote our solutions. Our marketing channels include search engine optimization, search engine marketing, account-based direct marketing campaigns, industry events and association marketing relationships. If any of our current marketing channels become less effective, if we are unable to continue to use any of these channels, if the cost of using these channels were to significantly increase or if we are not successful in generating new channels, we may not be able to attract new clients in a cost-effective manner or increase the number of our clients’ customers that use our solutions. If we are unable to recover our marketing costs through increases in the number of clients and in the number of our clients’ customers that use our solutions, or if we discontinue our marketing efforts, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, and financial condition.

If we are unable to expand our direct and channel sales capabilities, grow our marketing reach and increase sales productivity, we may not be able to generate increased revenues.

We believe that our future growth will depend on the continued development of our direct sales force and its ability to obtain new clients and to manage our existing client base. Our ability to increase our client base and achieve broader market acceptance of our solutions will depend to a significant extent on our ability to expand our sales and marketing organizations, and to deploy our sales and marketing resources efficiently. We intend to continue to strategically increase our number of direct sales professionals and to expand our relationships with new strategic channel partners. These efforts will require us to invest significant financial and other resources. New hires require training and take time to achieve full productivity. Similarly, new channel partnerships often take time to develop and may never yield results, as they require new partners to understand the services and solutions we offer, and how to position our value within the market. We cannot be certain that recent and future new hires or partner relationships will become as productive as

necessary or that we will be able to hire enough qualified individuals or build effective channel sales in the future. If we are unable to hire, develop, integrate, and retain talented and effective sales personnel, if our new and existing sales personnel are unable to achieve desired productivity levels, or if our sales, channel strategy and marketing programs and advertising are not effective, we may not be able to expand our business and grow our revenue, which may harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our business could be adversely affected if our clients or their customers are not satisfied with the timing or quality of implementation services provided by us or our partners.

Our business depends on our ability to satisfy our clients and their customers with respect to our solutions as well as the services that are performed to help our clients and their customers use the features and functions of our solutions. Services are usually performed by us, and are also on occasion provided together with a third-party partner. If our clients or their customers are not satisfied with the functionality of our solutions or the services that we or a third-party partner provide, such dissatisfaction could damage our ability to retain our current clients or expand our clients’ or their customers’ use of our solutions. In addition, any negative publicity and reviews that we may receive which is related to our client relationships may further damage our business and may invite enhanced regulatory scrutiny at the federal and state level in the United States as well as internationally.

Our financial and operating results are subject to seasonality and cyclicality.

Our financial and operating results are subject to seasonal trends. For example, the volume of education tuition processed typically increases in the northern hemisphere during the summer and early fall months, as well as at year end, as students and their families seek to pay tuition costs for the fall semester, the spring semester, or the entire academic year, respectively. We expect this seasonality of education tuition processing to continue and expect it to impact the amount of processing fees that we earn and the level of expenses we incur to generate tuition payment volume and process the higher volume activity in a particular fiscal quarter.

We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

A majority of the total payment volume we have historically processed is cross-border payments denominated in many foreign currencies, which subjects us to foreign currency risk. The strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar versus these foreign currencies impacts the translation of our net revenues generated in these foreign currencies into the U.S. dollar. For example, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as the U.S. Dollar weakened against several currencies, including the British Pound, relative to the prior year, these foreign exchange impacts decreased our reported revenue in U.S. Dollars by approximately $(2.0) million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 on a FX Neutral basis.

In connection with providing our solutions in multiple currencies, we may face financial exposure if we are unable to implement appropriate hedging strategies, negotiate beneficial foreign exchange rates, or as a result of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates between the times that we set them. We also have foreign exchange risk on our assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of our subsidiaries. We also incur expenses for employee compensation and other operating expenses at our non-U.S. locations in the local currency. Fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies could result in the dollar equivalent of our expenses being higher which may not be offset by additional revenue earned in the local currency. This could have a negative impact on our reported results of operations.

Periods of instability in the Eurozone, including fears of sovereign debt defaults, and stagnant growth generally, and of certain Eurozone member states in particular, have resulted in concerns regarding the suitability of a shared currency for the region, which could lead to the reintroduction of individual currencies for member states. If this were to occur, Euro-denominated assets and liabilities would be re-denominated to such individual currencies, which could result in a mismatch in the values of assets and liabilities and expose us to additional currency risks.

As our international operations continue to operate and grow, our risks associated with fluctuation in currency rates will become greater, and we will continue to reassess our approach to managing this risk, such as using foreign currency forward and option contracts to hedge certain exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Our use of such hedging practices may not offset any, or more than a portion, of the adverse effects of unfavorable movements in foreign exchange rates. In addition, currency fluctuations or a weakening U.S. dollar can increase the costs of our international operations, and the strengthening U.S. dollar could slow international demand as solutions priced in the U.S. dollar become more expensive.

Certain of our key performance indicators are subject to inherent challenges in measurement, and real or perceived inaccuracies in such metrics may harm our reputation and negatively affect our business.

We track certain key performance indicators, including metrics such as total payment volume, revenue less ancillary services, FX Neutral Revenue Less Ancillary Services, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin, with internal systems and tools and which may differ from estimates or similar metrics published by third parties due to differences in sources, methodologies, or the assumptions on which we rely. Our internal systems and tools have a number of limitations, and our methodologies for tracking these metrics may change over time, which could result in unexpected changes to our key performance indicators, including the metrics we publicly disclose, or our estimates. If the internal systems and tools we use to track these metrics undercount or overcount performance or contain algorithmic or other technical errors, the data we report may not be accurate. While these numbers are based on what we believe to be reasonable estimates for the applicable period of measurement, there are inherent challenges in measuring these metrics across our growing client base. If our key performance indicators are not accurate representations of our business, or if investors, clients or other stakeholders do not perceive our operating metrics to be accurate, or if we discover material inaccuracies with respect to these figures, our reputation may be significantly harmed, and our operating and financial results could be adversely affected.

Our business depends, in large part, on our proprietary network of global, regional and local banking partners.

To grow our business, we will need to maintain and expand our network of global, regional and local banking partners. Our proprietary network of strategic relationships with global, regional and local banking partners is a material asset to our business, which took more than a decade to build. Establishing and maintaining our strategic partner relationships, particularly with our banking partners entails extensive and highly specific efforts, with little predictability and various ancillary requirements. These partners and suppliers have contractual and regulatory requirements and conditions that we must satisfy and continue to comply with in order to continue and grow the relationships. For example, our financial institution partners generally require us to submit to an exhaustive security audit including adherence to AML policies and KYC procedures. If we are not able to comply with those obligations or if our agreements with our banking partners or our network partners are terminated for any reason, we could experience service interruptions as well as delays and additional expenses in arranging new services, potentially interfering with our existing client relationships or making us less attractive to potential new clients.

In addition, our existing banking partners may at any time and from time to time cease serving certain categories of payments due to perceived risk or similar reasons as well as payments originating from, or being paid to, certain high-risk jurisdictions. These partners may also impose additional requirements on Flywire, or with respect to their own internal procedures, as a condition of processing such payments in partnership with us. If we cease to be able to process payments from corridors or within certain of our verticals, or we are unable to comply with new requirements or only at considerable expense, our client relationships and ability to grow our revenue could be adversely affected.

Instability and volatility in the banking and financial services sectors, including bank failures, have increased and may in the future increase uncertainty in the global economy and the risk of a global recession. Volatility in the banking and financial services sectors may adversely impact our bank partnerships and could negatively impact our business. We may face difficulty establishing or maintaining banking relationships due to instability in the global banking system and increasing regulatory uncertainty and scrutiny. If these financial institutions are subject to suspension of operations, receivership, closure or similar action, or if our banking relationships become severely limited or unavailable in a certain country, there could be temporary delays in or unavailability of services in such country that are critical to our or our clients' operations. This could potentially lead to reduced use of our platform and lower payment volume which may adversely impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.

We may not be able to attract new network partners to our existing network of global, regional and local banking partners, which could adversely affect our ability to expand to additional countries and territories and transact in additional currencies. In addition, our potential partners may choose to work with our competitors’ or choose to compete with our solutions directly, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial position, and operating results. Further, many of our network partners have greater resources than we do and could choose to develop their own solutions to replace or compete with ours. If we are unsuccessful in establishing, growing, or maintaining our relationships with network partners, our ability to compete or to grow our revenue could be impaired, and our results of operations may suffer.

Our growth depends in part on the success of our relationships with other (non-banking) third parties.

We have established relationships with a number of other companies, including financial institutions, processors, other financial services suppliers, channel sales partners, providers of electronic health records (EHR) services, implementation partners, technology and cloud-based hosting providers, and others. In order to grow our business, we will need to continue to establish and maintain relationships with these types of third parties, and negotiating and documenting relationships with them requires significant time and resources. Our competitors may be more effective in providing incentives to third parties to favor their products or services. If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining our relationships with third parties, our ability to compete in the marketplace or to grow our revenues could be impaired and our operating results could suffer. Even if our strategic relationships are successful, we cannot assure you that these relationships will result in increased client usage of our solutions or increased revenues.

The markets in which we participate are competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, our operating results could be harmed.

The market for payments solutions is fragmented, competitive, and constantly evolving. Our competitors range from legacy payment methods, such as traditional bank wires, to integrated payment providers that focus on cross-border payments. With the introduction of new technologies and market entrants, we expect that the competitive environment will remain intense going forward. Our competitors that offer legacy payment methods or integrated cross-border payment platforms may develop products that compete with ours. Financial institutions that choose to enter into and compete in our market may have the operating flexibility to bundle competing solutions with other offerings, including offering them at a lower price or for no additional cost to clients as part of a larger sale. In addition, new entrants not currently considered to be competitors may enter the market through acquisitions, partnerships, or strategic relationships. Many of our domestic and foreign competitors have greater resources, experience or more developed customer relationships than we do. For example, foreign competitors may seek to leverage local or common language relationships to cater to potential customers of our clients. There are new market entrants with innovative revenue sharing and other pricing arrangements that are able to attract customers that we compete to serve. Our competitors vary in size, breadth, and scope of the solutions offered. Some of our competitors and potential competitors have greater name recognition, longer operating histories, more established client relationships, larger marketing budgets, and greater resources than us. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards, and client requirements. For example, an existing competitor or new entrant could introduce new technology that reduces demand for our solutions.

For these reasons, we may not be able to compete successfully against our current or future competitors, and this competition could result in the failure of our solutions to continue to achieve or maintain market acceptance, any of which would harm our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Our estimates of market opportunity and our ability to capture a meaningful share of this payment volume may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the market in which we compete achieves the forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all.

Our market opportunity estimates, including those we have generated ourselves and our ability to capture a meaningful share of this payment volume, are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate. The variables that go into the calculation of our market opportunity are subject to change over time, and there is no guarantee that any payment volumes covered by our market opportunity estimates will materialize in clients using our solutions as anticipated or generate any particular level of revenue for us. Any expansion in our market depends on a number of factors, including the cost, performance, and perceived value associated with our business and those of our competitors. Even if the market in which we compete meets the size estimates and growth forecasted, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all. Our growth is subject to many factors, including our success in implementing our business strategy, which is subject to many risks and uncertainties.

Our clients in the education sector may be adversely affected by decreases in enrollment, limitations or other restrictions on student visas, pressure on tuition costs, or increased operating expenses, which may reduce demand for our solutions.

We are reliant on our education clients, including colleges, universities and other education-related organizations that include language schools, boarding schools, summer programs, and others, to drive enrollment at their schools and maintain tuition costs. Factors outside of our control will affect enrollments and tuition costs, including the following:

•

Declines in international student enrollment. Global conflict, geopolitical tensions and restrictions on immigration and revocations, or increased limitations on the award of, student visas (such as those being implemented in the U.S., Canada and Australia) has and is expected to continue to negatively impact the cross-border education industry and schools that rely on foreign student populations.

•

Reduced enrollment in higher education due to lack of funding, increases to cost of attendance or other inflationary pressure. Some institutes of higher education may close or merge with other colleges and universities. Significant reductions in student funding, through grants or loans, may reduce enrollments and decrease the payment volume we process. Potential students may also be deterred by increases in the cost of attendance.

•

Government supported institutions may experience losses or reduction in public funding. Many of our clients rely considerably upon public funding or support, which may not always be available due to budget constraints.

•

Changing perceptions about in-person classes. Students may reject the opportunity to attend courses in person, when online or virtual classes are offered as an option, due to growing familiarity and perceived convenience of remote learning or a lower price point for online classes.

•

Our clients’ rankings, reputation and marketing efforts strongly affect enrollments, none of which we control. If we fail to maintain or add clients with strong, stable reputations and rankings, they will fail to achieve consistent enrollments.

•

General economic conditions. Any contraction in the economy could be expected to reduce enrollment in higher education, whether by reducing funding, reducing corporate allowances for continuing education, general reductions in employment or savings or other factors.

International cross-border transaction revenue represents a significant part of our revenue; international regulations and restrictions that inhibit cross-border travel and relocation of international students, as well as ongoing political friction between China and the U.S., as well as between Canada and India, that has from time to time slowed the growth of Chinese students studying in the U.S. and Indian students studying in Canada, and may have resulted in changes in Chinese and Indian student education destinations, have had and may continue to have an impact on our revenue growth. These geopolitical tensions and perceptions regarding potential hostility of host country study destinations may further suppress interest in international study (even at levels below the caps described below set by the governments of Canada and Australia), which would have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Sustained economic weakness in the United States or global economic conditions triggered by imposition of tariffs or other recessionary economic conditions, may disrupt international migration patterns, which are likely to reduce money transfer volumes and harm our operating results.

In January 2024, the Canadian government announced what at the time appeared to be a temporary intake cap on international student permit applications to stabilize new growth for a period of two years. This cap – intended to address Canada’s housing shortage, overburdened health systems, and rising costs of living – has reportedly reduced the number of international students coming to Canada by about 40% since implementation. Building on these changes, the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced in January 2025 that new study permits for international students will be reduced by 10% from the 2024 target of 485,000 to 437,000 in 2025 and 2026. When first instituted by the IRCC, the cap initially excluded students enrolled in master’s and PhD programs, but recent reports indicate that the 2025 and 2026 study permit intake cap will include master’s and doctoral students. Additionally, in November 2024, Canada ended its Student Direct Stream (SDS) program for expedited international student visa processing, and international students applying to study in Canada no longer need to prepay tuition to apply for a study permit. These limitations have resulted in a corresponding reduction in payment flows, which had an adverse effect on our business in the first quarter of 2025 and which we anticipate will continue to impact our Canada revenues in 2025.

Similarly, since late 2023, the Australian government has taken actions to tighten international student visa rules, including an increase in the amount of minimum savings that international students would need to have in order to obtain a visa, raising the standards of the English language proficiency requirements for student and graduate visas, a 125% increase in the visa fee for international students, and the imposition of a ban for holders of visitor visas and students holding temporary graduate visas from applying for a student visa while in Australia. In August 2024, the Australian

government announced the setting of a national planning level to apply from January 1, 2025 and which is intended to limit the number of new overseas student places available in Australia – including a ceiling of 270,000 international students for calendar year 2025. However, in December 2024, the government announced a change of course, instead implementing a system to introduce two categories of student visa processing: “high priority” and “standard priority”, with all international education providers to receive high priority processing up to 80% of their indicative international student cap. After reaching 80%, the providers will receive standard priority processing. These new Australian government policies, including university quotas, slower visa processing, higher fees, and stricter financial and language requirements, has had an adverse impact on our business in the first quarter of 2025 and we anticipate will continue to impact our Australian revenues in 2025.

Other governments where our client institutions are located, including in the U.S., may introduce measures from time to time to manage the growth of the international student population in their respective countries, which may have adverse effects on our business. Our U.S. market saw slower growth in the first quarter of 2025 due to shifting visa trends. In addition, in the first quarter of 2025 U.S. policy shifts have prompted dramatic action to rescind student visas (including deportation of students), plan additional cutbacks to the volume of international student visa issuances, and more closely scrutinize applications for international student visas, and to cut government support for higher education, adding to uncertainty around the number of students coming to the U.S. to study in the near future. Delays in issuances of visas or visa denials may discourage prospective international students from choosing U.S. institutions as places for study. The existing rules and any introduction of new rules further limiting the attractiveness of international study by the governments of countries where our client institutions are located has and is expected in the near term to continue to adversely impact the growth of our business in the applicable regions. In addition to caps on international students, government changes to other visa or student insurance requirements (for example, no longer requiring a one year tuition deposit as a condition to issuance of a student visa, or eliminating a need to procure insurance) may negatively impact payment volume. The existing rules and any introduction of new rules further limiting potential payment flows or the attractiveness of international study by the governments of countries where our client institutions are located has and could continue to adversely impact our business, operating results, and financial condition. Changes to U.S. immigration policy and heightened trade tensions from the imposition of tariffs can also dampen demands for international study.

In addition, some clients’ customers may find that higher education is an unnecessary investment during uncertain economic times and defer enrollment in educational institutions until the economy grows at a stronger pace, or they may turn to less costly forms of secondary education, thus decreasing our education payment volumes. A significant decrease in the payment volume and resulting revenue from clients and their customers in this market would have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

A number of recent actual and proposed U.S. policy changes and enforcement practices could reshape the U.S. higher education landscape, impacting students, our client educational institutions, and the wider educational framework in the United States.

In the first quarter of 2025, there have been a number of actions and policies proposed or taken which have unsettled the U.S. higher education sector, a historically significant source of clients and revenue for us. Any one or combination of these potential acts and policies coming to fruition or further developing – or even a perception or fear of occurrence – could negatively affect student enrollment at U.S. colleges and universities, lead to diminishing operating budgets, and adversely affect our business and operating results and financial condition. Among these proposed or actual policies are:

•

Restrictions on issuances and revocations of student visas, and deportation of students studying in the U.S. High profile instances of students with traditionally protective immigration status being arrested, deported, or having their student visas revoked have drawn widespread media attention. There have similarly been proposals put forth to expand the scope of bans on visa issuances. Diplomatic tensions between the U.S. and other countries can evoke visa restrictions specifically targeting students which would impact their ability to study in the U.S. Changes in U.S. immigration regulations or other laws, practices and frequency or methods of enforcement which discourage immigration or international study could adversely affect our education vertical or growth rate in the future. Reduced or disrupted international study patterns are likely to reduce the payment volumes we process and harm our operating results.

•

Reductions in government funding. There have been a number of instances of actual or threatened withholdings of federal funding to U.S. institutions of higher learning in general as well as to higher-profile U.S. colleges and universities. While some schools have worked out a negotiated arrangement with the U.S. government to allow for funding to continue in whole or in part – subject to specified conditions – others have not, and unreconciled instances continue to create an environment of uncertainty. Changes at the federal level regarding education policy could have a ripple effect on state funding for higher education. This could result in

financial uncertainty for public universities that rely on state support, potentially leading to tougher budgetary constraints. Any such reductions could adversely affect the financial health of colleges and universities, leading to diminished operational budgets, fewer student services, and declines in enrollment, which could reduce the demand for our services and negatively impact our operating results.

•

Cutbacks to, or elimination of, student loan programs and the U.S. Department of Education. Alterations in student loan regulations or a reduction in U.S. government support for loan programs – particularly for international study – could exacerbate the financial burden on students and their families and make the cost of attending college prohibitively expensive for families. This situation might discourage prospective students from enrolling, thereby affecting overall college attendance rates. We have historically, and expect to continue to, process U.S. student loan payments and a loss of these payment flows or a reduction in the number of students enrolling in higher education institutions that accept U.S. student loan payments could adversely affect our business.

•

Public image and perception. The perception of these real or proposed policies – especially with respect to immigration and availability of student visas – and their potential to make it more challenging for international students to study in the United States could result in a significant drop in enrollment numbers. This decline would particularly impact our U.S. client institutions that rely heavily on tuition revenue generated from international students. In addition, other nations may implement more attractive visa policies, which could entice international students to choose educational opportunities outside of the United States. Although we have client institutions in countries around the world where international students may choose to study if they are increasingly uncomfortable studying in the U.S., the cost of attending a school in these jurisdictions may be significantly less than in the U.S., and our payment volumes may suffer as a result.

The healthcare industry is rapidly evolving and the market for technology-enabled payment services that empower healthcare clients and their customers is relatively immature and unproven. If we are not successful in promoting the benefits of our solutions, our growth may be limited.

The market for our payment solutions is subject to rapid and significant changes. The market for technology-enabled payment services that empower healthcare clients and their customers is characterized by rapid technological change, new product and service introductions, increasing patient financial responsibility, consumerism and engagement, the ongoing shift to value-based care and reimbursement models, and the entrance of non-traditional competitors. In addition, there may be a limited-time opportunity to achieve and maintain a significant share of this market due in part to the rapidly evolving nature of the healthcare and technology industries and the substantial resources available to our existing and potential competitors. The market for technology-enabled payment services that empower healthcare clients and their customers is relatively new and unproven, and it is uncertain whether this market will achieve and sustain high levels of demand and market adoption.

In order to remain competitive, we are continually involved in a number of projects to compete with these new market entrants by developing new solutions, growing our client base and penetrating new markets. Some of these projects include the expansion of our integration capabilities and the expansion of our mobile solutions. These projects carry risks, such as cost overruns, delays in delivery, performance problems and lack of acceptance by our clients. Our integration partners may also decide to develop and offer their own patient engagement solutions that are similar to our solutions. In addition, the decisions we make on allocation of engineering resources, reliance on, integration with or discontinuance of, legacy systems or those acquired in acquisition, or the pace at which we remain technologically current within our internal systems and customer payment platforms, may negatively affect the morale of our engineering teams and the payment experiences our clients wish to feature to their customers. We may lose engineering talent or healthcare clients as a result, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our success depends on providing high-quality payment solutions that healthcare clients use to improve their financial and operational performance, allowing them to collect payments and enhance their revenue lifecycle management objectives. If we cannot adapt to rapidly evolving industry standards and technology and increasingly sophisticated and varied healthcare client and customer payment needs, our existing technology could become undesirable, obsolete or harm our reputation. We must continue to invest significant resources in our personnel and technology in a timely and cost-effective manner in order to enhance our existing solutions and introduce new high-quality solutions that existing clients and potential new clients will want. Our operating results would also suffer if our innovations are not responsive to the needs of our existing clients or potential new clients, are not appropriately timed with market opportunity, are not effectively brought to market or significantly increase our operating costs. If our new or modified product and service innovations are not responsive to the preferences of healthcare clients and their customers, emerging industry standards or regulatory changes, are not appropriately timed with market opportunity or are not effectively

brought to market, we may lose existing clients or be unable to obtain new clients and our results of operations may suffer.

We believe demand for our payment solutions in the healthcare industry has been driven in large part by more patient responsibility for out-of-pocket spend, a trend towards higher deductibles for health care services, increased digitization in payments, and the tailoring of payment offers and increased patient engagement. Our success also depends to a substantial extent on the ability of our solutions to increase the volume of our clients’ customers payments, and our ability to demonstrate the value of our solutions to our clients. If our existing clients do not recognize or acknowledge the benefits of our solutions or our solutions do not drive payment volume, then the market for our solutions might not develop at all, or it might develop more slowly than we expect, either of which could adversely affect our operating results. A significant decrease in the payment volume and resulting revenue from our clients and their customers in the healthcare industry may have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

In addition, we have limited insight into trends that might develop and affect our healthcare business. We might make errors in predicting and reacting to relevant business, legal and regulatory trends and healthcare reform, which could harm our business. If any of these events occur, it could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Finally, our competitors, including major EHR providers, may have the ability to devote more financial and operational resources than we can to developing new technologies and services, including services that provide improved operating functionality, and adding features to their existing service offerings. Relationships with companies in the EHR space and business focused on revenue lifecycle management are critical to leverage if we are to add to our healthcare customer portfolio. However, intense competition and rising costs experienced by certain major EHR providers has resulted, in certain cases, in increased financial strain on these businesses, and in at least one notable instance, an action to seek bankruptcy protection. To the extent we have outstanding amounts owed to us by companies that seek bankruptcy protection or cease operations, it may become difficult for us to be paid in full in a timely manner, if at all. Many of these companies may offer products and services similar to ours and may have greater name recognition, longer operating histories, stronger and more dependent client relationships, larger marketing budgets, and greater resources than us. If successful, their development efforts could render our solutions less desirable, resulting in the loss of our existing clients or a reduction in the fees we generate from our solutions.

Our business serving clients in the travel sector may be sensitive to events affecting the travel industry in general.

Events like regional or larger scale conflicts, war or other military conflict, including the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, and Israel and Hamas, terrorist attacks, mass shooting incidents, natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, droughts, floods and volcanic activity, including events resulting from climate change, and travel-related health events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, have had a negative impact on the travel industry and affect travelers’ behavior by limiting their ability or willingness to visit certain locations. In addition, the travel industry can be negatively impacted by adverse economic conditions in the United States and globally, including economic slowdown, recessionary trends, heightened interest rates and inflation. We are not in a position to evaluate the net effect of these circumstances on our business as these events are largely unpredictable; however, we believe there has been and may continue to be negative impact to our business due to such events. Furthermore, in the longer term, our business might be negatively affected by regulatory changes, financial pressures on or changes to the travel industry. For example, certain jurisdictions, particularly in Europe, have implemented or are considering implementing regulations intended to address the issue of “overtourism” including by restricting access to city centers or popular tourist destinations or limiting accommodation offerings in surrounding areas, such as by restricting construction of new hotels or the renting of homes or apartments. Such regulations could adversely affect travel and the volume of travel related payments that we process for our clients. In addition, any hostility towards tourists may depress international travel. The United States has implemented or proposed, or is considering, various changes in laws, regulations or policies such as the imposition of tariffs or sanctions that could affect U.S. trade policy or practices, relations with other countries and travel permits, which could also adversely affect travel to or from the United States. If such events result in a long-term negative impact on the travel industry, such impact could have a material adverse effect on our business. The payment volume from our travel vertical represented less than 10% of our total payment volume during the year ended December 31, 2024. Because we seek to grow the payment volume and the revenue from this vertical in the future through various initiatives, including the recently announced Sertifi acquisition, failure to grow our payment volume and resulting revenue from this industry, may have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

If we are unable to enter or expand new client verticals or sub-verticals, including our relatively new B2B payment vertical, or if our solutions for any new vertical fail to achieve market acceptance, our operating results could be adversely affected and we may be required to reconsider our growth strategy.

Our growth strategy is influenced, in part, on our ability to expand into new client verticals and sub-verticals, including our relatively new B2B payment vertical. The B2B payment vertical represents a relatively new market for us, and we have limited prior experience with the key ERP platforms that are critical to the B2B payment vertical. Accordingly, our lack of experience in the B2B payment vertical and with the key ERP platforms may result in operational difficulties, which could cause a delay or failure to integrate and realize the benefits of entering into this vertical. In addition, B2B payments carry a higher risk profile than education or healthcare receivables, and we will be required to devote more resources to manage the increased risk inherent in these payments. Banking and other payment services partners may be more reluctant to support B2B payment flows, and countries with currency controls are less likely to permit payments of a B2B nature. Our payment volume and resulting revenue from serving the B2B vertical is highly sensitive to restrictions on the cross-border commerce on which our clients rely, and declining economic conditions, increases in the costs or unavailability of imported goods and services due to imposition of tariffs, sanctions or other restrictions, could adversely affect our development of this vertical or our overall operating results and financial condition. The payment volume and resulting revenue from our B2B payment vertical during the year ended December 31, 2024 represented, and is expected for the foreseeable future to represent, less than 10% of our total payment volume and revenue. We expect both the payment volume and the revenue from this vertical to grow over time. As such, failure to grow our payment volume and resulting revenue from our B2B payment vertical may have an adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

We may be unable to identify new verticals or sub-verticals that meet our criteria for selecting industries that our solutions are ideally suited to address. In addition, our market validation process may not support entry into selected verticals due to our perception of the overall market opportunity or of the willingness of market participants within those verticals to adopt our solutions.

Even if we choose to enter new verticals or sub-verticals, our market validation process does not guarantee our success. We may be unable to tailor our solutions for a new vertical or, in the event that we enter a new vertical by way of a strategic acquisition, we may be unable to leverage the acquired platform in time to take advantage of the identified market opportunity, and any delay in our time-to-market could expose us to additional competition or other factors that could impede our success. In addition, any solution we develop or acquire for a new vertical may not provide the functionality required by potential clients or their customers and, as a result, may not achieve widespread market acceptance within the new vertical. To the extent we choose to enter new verticals, whether organically or via strategic acquisition, we may invest significant resources to develop and expand the functionality of our solutions to meet the needs of customers in those verticals, which investments will occur in advance of our realization of revenue from them.

Consolidation in the payment processing or enablement industry could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Many payment processing or enablement industry participants are consolidating to create larger and more integrated financial processing systems with greater market power. We expect regulatory and economic conditions to result in additional consolidation in the healthcare industry in the future. As consolidation accelerates, the economies of scale of our clients’ organizations may grow. If a client experiences sizable growth following consolidation, it may determine that it no longer needs to rely on us and may reduce its demand for our solutions. In addition, as payment processing providers consolidate to create larger and more integrated systems with greater market power, these providers may try to use their market power to negotiate fee reductions for our solutions. Finally, consolidation may also result in the acquisition or future development by our clients of products and services that compete with our solutions. Any of these potential results of consolidation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be adversely affected by global economic and political instability.

As we seek to continue to operate and expand our business, our overall performance will depend in part on worldwide economic and geopolitical conditions. Economies domestically and internationally have been affected from time to time by falling demand for a variety of goods and services, restricted credit, poor liquidity, heightened interest rates, reduced corporate profitability, employment pressures in services sectors, volatility in the banking ecosystem or credit, equity and foreign exchange markets, bankruptcies, as well as war, terrorist activity, political or social unrest, civil strife and other geopolitical uncertainty, including the effects of ongoing diplomatic and trade friction between Canada and India and the U.S. and countries such as Canada, Mexico and China, and the resulting impact on business continuity and

travel, supply chain disruptions, inflation, security issues, and overall uncertainty with respect to the economy, including with respect to tariff and trade issues. To the extent that inflationary pressures and other global factors lead to an economic recession, demand for our solutions, our business and financial condition could be negatively impacted. In addition, from time to time we have reduced expenses and needed to restructure or reorganize certain portions of our operations, including our restructuring announced in February 2025, in order to align our business with market conditions and our strategies, any of which can result in near term expense and harm to our growth prospects.

For example, on February 24, 2022, Russian military forces invaded Ukraine, and continued conflict and disruption in the region is likely, and on October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Hamas also launched extensive rocket attacks on the Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip and in other areas within the State of Israel. On October 8, 2023, Israel formally declared war on Hamas, and thereafter commenced military operations against Hamas. Although recent cease-fires have in some instances reduced hostilities, armed conflict is continuing and could intensify if cease-fires are not sustained, and conflict could spread between Israel and Iran, and also further affect Lebanon.

The Israel Defense Force (IDF), the national military of Israel, is a conscripted military service, subject to certain exceptions. Since the outbreak of hostilities, the IDF has called up more than 350,000 of its reserve forces to serve. It is possible that there will be further military reserve duty call-ups in the future, which may affect our business due to a shortage of skilled labor and loss of institutional knowledge, and necessary mitigation measures we may take to respond to a decrease in labor availability, such as overtime and third-party outsourcing, for example, may have unintended negative effects and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Shelter-in-place and work-from-home measures, government-imposed restrictions on movement and travel and other precautions taken to address the ongoing conflict may temporarily disrupt our employees’ ability to effectively perform their daily tasks.

Although the length, impact and outcome of the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Israel are highly unpredictable, these conflicts could lead to significant market and other disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices and supply of energy resources, instability in financial markets, supply chain interruptions, political and social instability, changes in consumer or purchaser preferences as well as an increase in cyberattacks and espionage.

We are actively monitoring the situations in Ukraine and Israel and assessing any potential impact on our business, but to date have not experienced any material impact. We have no way to predict the progress or outcome of the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel as the conflicts, and any resulting government reactions, continue to develop beyond our control and can quickly change. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions could be significant and could potentially have a substantial impact on the global economy and our business for an unknown period of time. As the adverse effects of these conflicts continue to develop and potentially spread, both in Europe, the Middle East and through the rest of the world, our clients, and customer behavior, may be negatively impacted, which could negatively affect sales and sales cycles and overall demand for our solutions. Further or prolonged impacts on the global economy could also cause businesses to curtail business expenses, which could hinder our ability to attract new clients or result in a decrease in payment volume. It is not possible to predict the ultimate broader consequences of these conflicts and any of the abovementioned factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, particularly to the extent the conflict escalates to involve additional countries, further economic sanctions and wider military conflicts. Any such disruptions could also magnify the impact of other risks described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In addition, political tensions between the U.S. and countries, such as Canada, Mexico and China, have recently escalated due to, among other things, U.S. policy shifts, and could have an adverse effect on our operating results. Rising political tensions could reduce levels of trade, investments, technological and educational exchanges, travel and other economic activities between the U.S. and such other countries, which would have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets. Since February 2025, the U.S. government has enacted, and continues to enact, a series of new tariffs, including a tariff on all imports and additional “reciprocal” tariffs targeting imports from specified countries. These tariffs and other changes in U.S. trade policy have triggered, and could continue to trigger, retaliatory actions by affected countries, including retaliatory measures other protectionist measures that could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. The tariff policy environment has been and can be expected to continue to be dynamic. The ultimate impact of these newly enacted and potential future tariffs or other restrictions on international trade will depend on various factors, including the ultimate levels of such tariffs, how long such tariffs remain in place, and how other countries respond to the U.S. tariffs. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot assure you that, if the

political tension between the U.S. and other countries intensifies and further regulations affecting our business are passed, our business will not be materially and adversely affected.

Inflation and heightened interest rates have and may in the future result in decreased demand for our solutions, increases in our operating costs including our labor costs, constrained credit and liquidity, and volatility in financial markets and the banking ecosystem. Although the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates by 50 basis points on September 18, 2024, interest rates remain elevated and there continues to be uncertainty in the changing market and economic conditions, including the effects of additional measures that have and could be taken by the Trump administration, the Federal Reserve and other government agencies, related to concerns over inflation risk. A sharp rise in interest rates could have an adverse impact on the fair market value of securities we may invest in as part of our portfolio investments, which could adversely affect our financial results.

Risks Related to Our Operations

We may not be able to scale our business quickly enough to meet our growing client base, and if we are not able to grow efficiently, our operating results could be harmed.

As usage of our solutions grows and we sign additional clients and technology partners, we will need to devote additional resources to improving and maintaining our infrastructure and global payments network and integrating with third-party applications to maintain the performance of our solutions. In addition, we will need to appropriately scale our internal business systems, including client support, our 24x7 multilingual support to clients’ customers and risk and compliance operations, to serve our growing client base.

Any failure of or delay in these efforts could result in interruptions to our solutions, impaired system performance, and reduced client satisfaction, resulting in decreased sales to clients, lower renewal rates by existing clients, the issuance of service credits, or requested refunds, all of which could hurt our revenue growth. If sustained or repeated, these performance issues could reduce the attractiveness of our solutions to clients and their customers and could result in lost client opportunities and lower renewal rates, any of which could hurt our revenue growth, client loyalty, and our reputation. Even if we are successful in these efforts to scale our business, they will be expensive and complex, and require the dedication of significant management time and attention. We could also face inefficiencies or service disruptions as a result of our efforts to scale or improve our internal infrastructure. We cannot be sure that the expansion and improvements to our internal infrastructure will be effectively implemented on a timely basis, if at all, and such failures could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

We enable the transfer of large sums of funds to our clients daily, and are subject to the risk of errors, which could result in financial losses, damage to our reputation, or loss of trust in our brand, which would harm our business and financial results.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, we processed over $29.7 billion in payments on our solutions, compared to over $24.0 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we processed approximately $8.4 billion in payments on our solutions. We have grown rapidly and seek to continue to grow, and our business is subject to the risk of financial losses as a result of chargebacks for client-related losses, credit losses, operational errors, software defects, service disruption, employee or partner misconduct, security breaches, or other similar actions or errors in our solutions. As a provider of accounts receivable and other payment solutions, we enable the transfer of funds to our clients from their customers. Software errors in our solutions, including as a result of ordinary course updates to our software and systems, and operational errors by our FlyMates and business partners may also expose us to losses. In our business model, subject to certain exceptions, we function as a merchant of record in connection with the receipt of payments by our clients’ customers, which subjects us to chargeback risk in the event a client’s customer cancels or otherwise does not receive the services for which such customer paid. Although our client contracts allow us to pass such chargeback risk to our client, if a client has gone out of business or we are otherwise unable to collect on the chargeback, we will bear the economic loss, which can negatively impact our business.

Moreover, our trustworthiness and reputation are fundamental to our business. As a global payments enablement and software company, the occurrence of any credit losses, operational errors, software defects, service disruption, employee misconduct, security breaches, or other similar actions or errors in our solutions could result in financial losses to our business and our clients, loss of trust, damage to our reputation, or termination of our agreements with strategic partners, each of which could result in:

•

loss of clients or a reduction in use of our solutions by our clients’ customers;

•

lost or delayed market acceptance and acquisition of new clients;

•

legal claims against us;

•

regulatory enforcement action; or

•

diversion of our resources, including through increased service expenses or financial concessions, and increased insurance costs.

There can be no assurance that the insurance we maintain to cover losses resulting from our errors and omissions will cover all losses or our coverage will be sufficient to cover our losses. If we suffer significant losses or reputational harm as a result, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Our management of our operating funds and client funds may be reliant on a limited number of our banking partners and other financial institutions.

As to certain verticals that we may choose to serve, as well as in selected geographical locations, our network of banking and other financial institution partners may be limited. As a result, although we seek to distribute financial and credit risk among multiple financial institutions, from time to time there may be a concentration of operating funds or client fund flows among a more limited number of financial institution partners. These partners are generally heavily regulated by national and local governments, and in some locations may be involved in a multitude of related businesses or part of larger, higher-profile financial conglomerates. These partners and suppliers are often subject to strict regulatory requirements and enforcement actions or may experience failures to satisfy capital adequacy conditions that result in a suspension of operations, seizure of assets or closure, which could materially impact the safeguarding of our operating funds or client funds. If we are not able to access, or are delayed in accessing, our own funds or if client funds were in any way impacted, we could be adversely impacted, including by experiencing reputational damage and claims for restitution, potentially interfering with our existing client relationships or making us less attractive to potential new clients.

Our marketable securities portfolio is subject to credit, liquidity, market, and interest rate risks that could cause its value to decline significantly and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

We maintain an investment portfolio of marketable securities. These investments are subject to general credit, liquidity, market, and interest rate risks that can affect the income that we receive from our investments, the net realizable value of our investments, and our ability to sell them, which may be exacerbated by market downturns or events that affect global financial markets. As a result, we may experience a significant decline in value or loss of liquidity of our investments, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. We attempt to mitigate these risks through diversification of our investments and continuous monitoring of our portfolio’s overall risk profile, but the value of our investments may nevertheless decline. To the extent that we increase the amount of our security investments in the future, these risks could be exacerbated.

Volatility in the banking and financial services ecosystems may impact our bank partnerships and relationships, which could adversely affect our operations and liquidity.

Instability and volatility in the banking and financial services ecosystems, including limited liquidity, defaults, non-performance or other adverse developments that affect the banking ecosystem, or concerns or rumors about any such events or other similar risks, has and may in the future increase uncertainty in the global economy and the risk of a recession. Volatility in the banking and financial services sectors may impact our bank partnerships and relationships, which could adversely affect our operations and liquidity.

Our cash equivalents include money market funds, which are AAA-rated and comprised of liquid, high-quality debt securities issued by the U.S. government. Our access to our cash and cash equivalents and client funds could be significantly impacted in volatile markets given our concentration in government money market funds or impaired by the financial institutions with which we have arrangements directly, if such financial institutions are facing liquidity constraints or failures. We regularly maintain cash balances at third-party financial institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limit. A failure of a depository institution to return these deposits, or if a depository institution is subject to other adverse conditions in the financial or credit markets, could further impact access to our invested cash or cash equivalents and could adversely impact our operating liquidity, financial performance and ability to recover or repay client funds. If one or more of our bank partners were to fail and enter receivership proceedings, we may not be able to withdraw our or our clients' funds in excess of FDIC insurance limits, or may not be able to

withdraw such funds in a timely manner, which could adversely affect our brand, business and results of operations, and may lead to regulatory or other claims or litigation, which may be costly to address.

In addition, investor concerns regarding the U.S. or international financial systems could result in less favorable commercial financing terms, including higher interest rates or costs and tighter financial and operating covenants, or systemic limitations on access to credit and liquidity sources, thereby making it more difficult for us to acquire financing on acceptable terms or at all. Any material decline in available funding or our ability to access our cash and cash equivalents could adversely impact our ability to meet our operating expenses, result in breaches of our contractual obligations or result in violations of federal or state wage and hour laws, any of which could have material adverse impacts on our operations and liquidity.

If we are unable to maintain or expand our ability to offer a variety of local and international payment methods for our clients to make available to their customers, or if we fail to continue to grow and develop preferred payment choices, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

The continued growth and development of our proprietary global payments network will also depend on our ability to anticipate and adapt to changes in client and customer behavior. For example, behavior may change regarding the use of credit and debit card transactions, including the relative increased use of cash, crypto-currencies, other emerging or alternative payment methods and credit card systems that may include strong regional preferences that we or our processing partners do not adequately support. Any failure to timely integrate emerging payment methods into our solutions, anticipate behavior changes, or contract with payment processing partners that support such emerging payment technologies could cause our clients to use our solutions less, resulting in a corresponding loss of revenue, in the event such methods become popular among their customers.

The number and variety of the payment methods we offer or currencies we are able to service may not meet client expectations, or the costs borne by our clients’ customers in completing payments may become unsuitable. Accordingly, we may need to change our pricing strategies or reduce our prices, which could harm our revenue, gross profit, and operating results.

We utilize a number of payment providers to clear and settle transactions for our clients, including payments providers such as China UnionPay Co. Ltd. and Adyen N.V. If the services provided by these partners become unavailable due to extended outages or interruptions or because they are no longer available on commercially reasonable terms or prices, or due to regulatory restrictions or for any other reason, our expenses could increase and our ability to process certain payments could be materially interrupted, all of which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, our agreements with these providers include certain terms and conditions. These providers have broad discretion to change their terms of service and other policies with respect to our business, and those changes may be unfavorable to us. Therefore, we believe that maintaining successful partnerships with these payment providers is critical to our success.

We, our strategic partners and our clients obtain and process large amounts of personal and sensitive data. Any real or perceived improper or unauthorized use of, disclosure of, or access to such data could harm our reputation as a trusted brand, as well as have a material adverse effect on our business.

We, our strategic partners and our clients, and the third-party vendors that we use, obtain and process large amounts of sensitive data, including personally identifiable information, also referred to as “personal data,” and other potentially sensitive data related to our clients, their customers and each of their transactions, as well as a variety of such data relating to our own workforce and internal operations. We face risks, including to our reputation as a trusted brand, in the handling and protection of this data, and these risks will increase as our business continues to expand to include new solutions and technologies.

We are responsible for data security for ourselves and for third parties with whom we partner and under the rules and regulations established by the payment networks, such as Visa, Mastercard and American Express, and debit card networks and by industry regulations and standards that may be promulgated by organizations such as NACHA, which manages the governance of the ACH network in the United States. These third parties include our distribution partners and other third-party service providers and agents. We and other third parties collect, process, store and/or transmit personal and sensitive data, such as names, addresses, social security numbers, credit or debit card numbers and expiration dates, driver’s license numbers and bank account numbers. We have ultimate liability to the payment networks and to our clients for our failure or the failure of third parties with whom we contract to protect this data in accordance with PCI DSS and network requirements. The loss, destruction or unauthorized modification or disclosure of merchant or cardholder data by us or our contracted third parties could result in significant fines, sanctions, claims, litigation and

proceedings or actions against us by the payment networks, governmental entities, clients, client customers or others and damage our reputation.

Similarly, there are existing regulatory regimes designed to protect the privacy of categories of personal or otherwise sensitive data. Relevant U.S. federal privacy laws include the FERPA, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), and HIPAA. We also are subject to stringent contractual obligations relating to the handling of such data, including obligations that are more restrictive than legally required. For example, under HIPAA, the information we collect during the payment experience may include protected health Information (PHI), and as such, we are considered a “business associate” of the U.S. healthcare clients we serve, and we are required to enter into a business associate agreement (BAA) with these clients. The BAAs largely mirror some of the statutory obligations contained in HIPAA, but many contain additional contractual undertakings that give these clients additional remedies in the event of a breach of our obligations to protect the confidentiality of the client’s PHI or otherwise meet our contractual obligations. Privacy laws impose a variety of compliance burdens on us and our clients, such as requiring notice to individuals of privacy practices, providing individuals with certain rights to prevent the use and disclosure of protected information, and also imposing requirements for safeguarding and proper destruction of personal information through the issuance of data security standards or guidelines. Privacy laws grant audit rights to our regulators and those of our clients. Any unauthorized disclosure of PHI or other data we are obligated to protect by regulation or contract could result in significant fines, sanctions, or requirements to take corrective action and could materially adversely affect our reputation and business.

Threats may derive from human error, fraud, or malice on the part of employees or third parties, or from accidental technological failure. For example, certain of our FlyMates have access to personal and sensitive data that could be used to commit identity theft or fraud. Concerns about security increase when we transmit information electronically because such transmissions can be subject to attack, interception, or loss. Also, computer viruses can be distributed and spread rapidly over the Internet and could infiltrate our systems or those of our contracted third parties. Denial of service or other attacks could be launched against us for a variety of purposes, including interfering with our solutions or to create a diversion for other malicious activities. These and other types of actions and attacks could disrupt our delivery of solutions or make them unavailable. Any such actions or attacks against us or our contracted third parties could impugn our reputation, force us to incur significant expenses in remediating the resulting impacts, expose us to uninsured liability, result in the loss of our bank sponsors or our ability to participate in the payment networks, increase our risk of regulatory scrutiny and the costs associated with such scrutiny, subject us to lawsuits, fines or sanctions, distract our management, or increase our costs of doing business.

We and our contracted third parties could be subject to security breaches by hackers. Our encryption of data and other protective measures may not prevent unauthorized access to or use of personal and sensitive data. A breach of a system may subject us to material losses or liability, including payment network fines, assessments and claims for unauthorized purchases with misappropriated credit, debit or card information, impersonation, or other similar fraud claims. A misuse of such data or a cybersecurity breach could harm our reputation and deter clients and their customers from using electronic payments generally and our solutions specifically, thus reducing our revenue. In addition, any such misuse or breach could cause us to incur costs to correct the breaches or failures, expose us to uninsured liability, increase our risk of regulatory scrutiny and the costs associated with such scrutiny, subject us to lawsuits, and result in the imposition of material penalties and fines under state and federal laws or by the payment networks. The insurance coverage we maintain to cover cyber risks may be insufficient to cover all losses. In addition, a significant cybersecurity breach of our systems or communications could result in payment networks prohibiting us from processing transactions on their networks or the loss of our bank sponsors that facilitate our participation in the payment networks, either of which could materially impede our ability to conduct business.

Additionally, it is also possible that unauthorized access to sensitive customer and business data may be obtained through inadequate use of security controls by our clients, suppliers or other vendors.

We have administrative, technical, and physical security measures in place, and we have policies and procedures in place to both evaluate the security protocols and practices of our vendors and to contractually require service providers to whom we disclose personal data to implement and maintain privacy and security measures. However, we cannot provide assurance that the contractual requirements related to security and privacy that we impose on our service providers will be followed, or that those requirements, or our internal measures, will be adequate to prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure of data. If our privacy protection or security measures or those of the previously mentioned third parties are inadequate or are breached as a result of third-party action, employee or contractor error, malfeasance, malware, phishing, hacking attacks, system error, software bugs or defects in our solutions, trickery, process failure, or otherwise, and, as a result, there is improper disclosure of, or someone obtains unauthorized access to or extract funds or sensitive information, including personally identifiable information, on our systems or our partners’ systems, or if we suffer a ransomware or advanced persistent threat attack, or if any of the foregoing is reported or perceived to have occurred, our

reputation and business could be damaged. Recent high-profile security breaches and related disclosures of personal and sensitive data by large institutions suggest that the risk of such events is significant, even if privacy protection and security measures are implemented and enforced. If personal or sensitive information is lost or improperly disclosed or threatened to be disclosed, we could incur significant costs associated with remediation and the implementation of additional security measures, including costs to deploy additional personnel and protection technologies, train employees, and engage third-party experts and consultants. In addition, we may incur significant liability and financial loss and may be subject to regulatory scrutiny, investigations, proceedings, and penalties and our reputation may be harmed. Additional risks will emerge to the extent we incorporate artificial intelligence in our solutions. Artificial intelligence algorithms or automated processing of data may be flawed, and datasets may be insufficient or may use third party artificial intelligence with unclear intellectual property rights or interests. Inappropriate or controversial data practices by us or others could subject us to lawsuits, regulatory investigations, legal and financial liability, or reputational harm. Additionally, our use of artificial intelligence may create additional cybersecurity risks or increase cybersecurity risks, including risks of security breaches and incidents.

Under our terms of service and our contracts with strategic partners and clients, if there is a breach of payment information that we store, we could be liable for their losses and related expenses. Additionally, if our own confidential business information were improperly disclosed, our business could be materially and adversely affected. A core aspect of our business is the reliability and security of our solutions. Any perceived or actual breach of security, regardless of how it occurs or the extent of the breach, could have a significant impact on our reputation as a trusted brand, cause us to lose existing partners or clients, prevent us from obtaining new partners, clients or customers, require us to expend significant funds to remedy problems caused by breaches and implement measures to prevent further breaches, and expose us to legal risk and potential liability including those resulting from governmental or regulatory investigations, class action litigation, and costs associated with remediation, such as fraud monitoring and forensics. Any actual or perceived security breach at a company providing services to us or our clients could have similar effects.

We cannot be certain that our insurance coverage will be adequate for data handling or data security liabilities actually incurred, that insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all, or that any insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our financial condition, operating results, and reputation.

Cyberattacks and security vulnerabilities can disrupt our business and harm our competitive position.

Cyber incidents have been increasing in sophistication and frequency and can include third parties gaining access to employee or customer data using stolen or inferred credentials, computer malware, viruses, spamming, phishing attacks, ransomware, card skimming code, and other deliberate attacks and attempts to gain unauthorized access. Providers of payment and accounts receivable software have frequently been targeted by such attacks and due to the wars in the Ukraine and Gaza and continued political uncertainty involving Russia and Ukraine, and Israel and Hamas, respectively, and potentially other regions of Europe and the Middle East, there is an increased likelihood that escalation of tensions could result in cyberattacks that could either directly or indirectly impact our operations. In addition, the development and implementation of AI technologies may further increase our exposure to or exacerbate the risks of cyberattacks or other security incidents, particularly where such technologies are exploited by third parties to breach our or other parties’ systems, including when such technologies are used to target our employees or impersonate members of senior management in order to gain unauthorized access to our systems. Because of this, we face additional cybersecurity challenges, including threats to our own IT infrastructure or those of our clients, our clients’ customers, and/or third-party providers, that may take a variety of forms ranging from stolen bank accounts, business email compromise, client employee fraud, account takeover, or check fraud, to “mega breaches” targeted against payment and accounts receivable software, which could be initiated by individual or groups of hackers or sophisticated cyber criminals using any of the methods described above. A cybersecurity incident or breach could result in disclosure of confidential information and intellectual property, or cause production downtimes and compromised data. We have in the past experienced cybersecurity incidents of limited scale, and we may in the future experience other data security incidents or breaches affecting personally identifiable information or other confidential business information. We may be unable to anticipate or prevent techniques used in the future to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems because they change frequently and often are not detected until after an incident has occurred. As we increase our client base and our brand becomes more widely known and recognized, third parties may increasingly seek to compromise our security controls or gain unauthorized access to our sensitive corporate information or our clients’ (or our clients’ customers’) data.

Our business policies and internal security controls may not keep pace with these evolving threats. Despite the internal control measures, and security procedures we employ to safeguard our systems, we may still be vulnerable to a

security breach, intrusion, or loss or theft of personal or sensitive data, which may harm our business, reputation and future financial results. The lost revenue and containment, remediation, investigation, legal and other costs could be significant and may exceed our insurance policy limits or may not be covered by insurance at all. Further, we may be subject to regulatory enforcement actions and litigation that could result in financial judgments or the payment of settlement amounts and disputes with insurance carriers concerning coverage. In addition, sufficient insurance coverage may become increasingly expensive to maintain as incidents increase globally.

Our risk management efforts may not be effective to prevent fraudulent activities by our clients, FlyMates or other third parties, which could expose us to material financial losses and liability and otherwise harm our business.

Our software provides payment facilitation solutions for a large number of our clients and their customers. We are responsible for performing KYC reviews of our clients, sanctions screening their customers, and monitoring transactions for fraud. We have been and may continue to be targeted by parties who seek to commit acts of financial fraud using techniques such as stolen identities and bank accounts, compromised business email accounts, employee or insider fraud, account takeover, false applications, and fake invoicing. We may suffer losses from acts of financial fraud committed by our clients, our clients’ customers and purported customers, our FlyMates and payment partners or third parties.

The techniques used to perpetrate fraud are continually evolving and we may not be able to identify all risks created by new solutions or functionality. Our risk management policies, procedures, techniques, and processes may not be sufficient to identify all of the risks to which we are exposed, to enable us to prevent or mitigate the risks we have identified, or to identify additional risks to which we may become subject in the future. Furthermore, our risk management policies, procedures, techniques, and processes may contain errors or our FlyMates or agents may commit mistakes or errors in judgment as a result of which we may suffer large financial losses. The software-driven and highly automated nature of our solutions could enable criminals and those committing fraud to steal significant amounts of money accessing our solutions. As greater numbers of our clients' customers use our solutions, and we serve clients in industries that are at higher risk for fraudulent activity, our exposure to material risk losses from a single client, or from a small number of clients, will increase. In addition, our clients or their customers may suffer losses from acts of financial fraud by third parties posing as us through account takeover, credential harvesting, use of stolen identities and various other techniques, which could harm our reputation, consume significant time of our compliance, security and client relations teams to investigate and remediate, or prompt us to reimburse our clients for such losses in order to maintain client business relationships.

Our current business, the changing and uncertain economic, geopolitical and regulatory environment, and our anticipated domestic and international growth will continue to place significant demands on our risk management and compliance efforts. As our business grows and becomes more complex, we will need to continue developing and improving and investing in our risk management infrastructure, policies, procedures, techniques, and processes. As techniques used to perpetrate fraud on our solutions evolve, we may need to modify our solutions to mitigate fraud risks. As our business grows and becomes more complex, we may be less able to forecast and carry appropriate reserves in our books for fraud related losses. Further, these types of fraudulent activities targeting our solutions can also expose us to civil and criminal liability, governmental and regulatory sanctions as well as potentially cause us to be in breach of our contractual obligations to our clients and partners.

If we fail to adapt and respond effectively to rapidly and significantly changing technology, evolving industry standards, changing regulations, and changing business needs, requirements, or preferences, or if we fail to continue to grow and develop our payments solutions, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

Our future success depends in large part on the continued growth and development of our payments solutions. If such activities are limited, restricted, curtailed or degraded in any way, or if we fail to continue to grow and develop our payments solutions, our business may be materially and adversely affected. The market for payments enablement solutions is relatively new and subject to changes in technology, regulatory regimes, industry standards, payment methods, regulations and client and customer needs. Rapid and significant technological changes, evolving industry standards, changing regulations and business needs continue to confront the verticals in which we operate, including developments in digital banking, open banking, mobile financial apps, as well as developments in cryptocurrencies and in tokenization (e.g., replacing sensitive data such as payment card information) with symbols (tokens) to keep the data safe), blockchain, and artificial intelligence, including machine learning. The success of our business will depend, in part, on our ability to adapt and respond effectively to these changes through methods which include launching new solutions and incorporating new technologies, such as generative artificial intelligence, into our solutions.

The success of any new product and service, or any enhancements or modifications to existing solutions, depends on several factors, including the timely completion, introduction, and market acceptance of such solutions, enhancements, and modifications. Our engineering and software development teams operate in different locations across the globe (including teams in Spain, Romania, the United States, Israel and Australia), which can create logistical challenges. If we are unable to effectively coordinate with our global technology and development teams to enhance our solutions, add new payment methods or develop new solutions that keep pace with technological and regulatory changes to achieve market acceptance, or if new technologies emerge that are able to deliver competitive solutions that are more effective, secure, convenient or cost effective than our solutions, our business, operating results, and financial condition would be adversely affected. Furthermore, modifications to our existing solutions or technology will increase our technology and development expenses. Any failure of our solutions to operate effectively with existing or future network solutions and technologies could reduce the demand for our solutions, result in clients or clients' customer dissatisfaction and adversely affect our business.

We use artificial intelligence (AI) in our solutions and services which may result in operational challenges, legal liability, reputational harm, competitive risks and regulatory and enhanced fraud concerns that could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We incorporate AI, including generative AI, into our solutions and services, including into our payor virtual assistant self-help chatbot. We may also incorporate or resell third-party AI technology into the services we provide to our clients. These technologies are complex and rapidly evolving and building them requires significant investment in infrastructure and personnel with no assurance that we will realize the desired or anticipated benefits. There is no assurance that the usage of such AI-powered solutions, whether developed in-house or sourced from third-parties, will enhance our business, or otherwise help our operations become more effective, efficient, or profitable. The models underlying our AI-powered solutions may be incorrectly or inadequately designed or implemented. They may also be trained on, or otherwise use, biased, incomplete, inaccurate, misleading, or poor-quality data or algorithms, any of which may not be easily detectable. AI-powered solutions may also be adversely impacted by unforeseen defects, technical challenges, cyberattacks, cybersecurity breaches, service outages or other similar incidents, or material performance issues. Accordingly, our use or delivery to our clients of AI-powered solutions may inadvertently reduce our effectiveness and efficiency or generate unintentional or unexpected outputs (including any AI-generated content, analyses, or recommendations) that are, or are perceived to be, biased, incomplete, inaccurate, misleading, poor-quality, unethical, or otherwise deficient or flawed, do not match our business goals, standards, or values, do not comply with our policies or procedures, harm our brand or reputation, negatively impact or clients or clients’ customers or partners, or otherwise interfere with the performance of our business.

Our competitors may more successfully or more quickly incorporate AI into their products and achieve higher market acceptance of their AI solutions, which could impair our ability to compete effectively and adversely affect our results of operations, and we may also encounter new risks, challenges, and unintended consequences as a result of our use of AI. For example, the issue of intellectual property ownership and license rights surrounding AI technologies has not been fully addressed by U.S. or international courts or federal or state laws and regulations. We may not have adequate rights to use the data on which our AI-powered solutions rely. To the extent that we do not have sufficient rights to use the data used in, or produced by, the AI-powered solutions employed in our business and operations, we could be exposed to intellectual property claims or mandatory compliance with open-source software or other license terms. Further, any content or other output created by us using AI-powered solutions may not be subject to copyright protection, which may adversely affect our ability to commercialize or use, or the validity or enforceability of any IP rights in, such content or other output.

Our use of AI may also lead to novel cybersecurity or privacy risks, including those that implicate the confidential and personal information of users of AI-powered solutions, which may adversely affect our operations and reputation and expose us to legal liability or regulatory risks, including with respect to third-party IP rights or privacy, publicity, contractual, or other rights. If any of our employees, contractors, or other third parties with whom we partner input confidential or personal information while using any third-party AI-powered solution in connection with our business or the products, solutions, and services they provide to us, such practice may lead to the inadvertent disclosure of such confidential or personal information, which may impact our ability to realize the benefit of, or adequately obtain, maintain, protect, defend, and enforce our IP rights in, such information or otherwise harm our competitive position, reputation, or business.

The European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act (the EU AI Act), which would apply beyond the European Union's borders, came into force in August 2024, and various other governments have proposed or adopted policy and regulatory responses to oversee the use of AI. There is a risk that our current or future AI-powered solutions may obligate us to comply with the applicable requirements of the EU AI Act, which may impose additional costs on us, increase our risk of

liability and fines, or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, and future prospects. Compliance with other regulations as well as social and ethical standards and client expectations relating to AI may require significant research and development costs as well as management and employee attention. Any actual or perceived failure to comply with these laws, regulations, ethical standards or expectations could include severe penalties, reputational harm, and slow adoption of AI in our solutions and services. In addition, our business may be disrupted if any of the third-party AI services we use become unavailable due to extended outages or commercially unreasonable terms of service.

In addition, the nefarious and fraudulent uses of AI by bad actors could lead to reputational damage if we fail, or are perceived to fail, to align our AML, KYC, sanctions and verification screening policies, procedures and protocols to detect fraudulent activity relating to the use of AI. Such failures may result in financial loss to our business, other fines, penalties or disciplinary actions imposed by regulators, lawsuits and claims from negatively impacted clients or payors, and may also erode trust in the use of our services by clients and our clients’ customers. Although we take steps designed to mitigate the risks associated with the use of AI in our business and operations, our use or the use of AI for fraudulent purposes by bad actors may present ethical, reputational, technical, operational, legal, competitive, or regulatory risks, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, and future prospects.

Changes to payment card networks fees or rules could harm our business.

We are required to comply with Mastercard, American Express, and Visa payment card network operating rules and the rules of other regional card (such as China UnionPay or JCB) or payment providers, in connection with our solutions. We have agreed to reimburse our merchant acquirers for any fines they are assessed by payment card networks as a result of any rule violations by us. We may also be directly liable to the payment card networks for rule violations. The payment card networks set and interpret the card operating rules. The payment card networks could adopt new operating rules or interpret or reinterpret existing rules that we or our processors might find difficult or even impossible to follow, or costly to implement. For example, the card networks could adopt new rules or reinterpret existing rules to substantially modify how we offer credit card payment methods to our clients, or impose new fees or costs (including demanding a cash reserve from Flywire) that could negatively impact our margins. Card networks also could modify security or fraud detection methodologies that could have a downstream impact on our business, and force us to change our solutions, payment experience or security protocols, which may increase our operating costs. We also may seek to introduce other card-related solutions in the future, which would entail additional operating rules. As a result of any violations of rules, new rules being implemented, or increased fees, we could lose our ability to offer certain cards as a payment method to our clients’ customers, or such payments could become prohibitively expensive for us or for our clients. Additionally, from time to time, card networks, including Visa and Mastercard, increase the fees that they charge processors. We could attempt to pass these increases along to our clients and their customers, but this strategy might result in the loss of clients to our competitors who do not pass along the increases. If competitive practices prevent us from passing along the higher fees to our clients and their customers in the future, we may have to absorb all or a portion of such increases, which may increase our operating costs and reduce our profit margins. If we are unable to offer credit cards as a payment method to our clients’ customers, our business would be adversely affected.

If we do not or cannot maintain the compatibility of our solution with evolving software solutions used by our clients, or the interoperability of our solutions with those of our third-party payment providers, payment networks and key software vendors, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

Our solutions integrate with ERP systems, such as Ellucian Company, L.P. in education, Epic Systems Corporation in healthcare, Rezdy Pty Ltd in travel and Oracle Corporation in B2B payments. We automatically synchronize suppliers, clients, client customers, invoices, and payment transactions between our solutions and these systems. This two-way sync eliminates duplicate data entry and provides the basis for managing cash-flow through an integrated solution for accounts receivable, and payments.

In addition, we are subject to certain standard terms and conditions with these partners. These partners have broad discretion to change their terms of service and other policies, and those changes may be unfavorable to us. Therefore, we believe that maintaining successful partnerships with these providers is critical to our future success.

We also rely on our proprietary global payment network comprised of leading global, regional and local banks and technology and payment partners. If we do not or cannot maintain the interoperability of their products or services or the products or our key software vendors that are integral to our solutions, our business may be materially and adversely affected. These third parties periodically update and change their systems, and although we have been able to adapt our solutions to their evolving needs in the past, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to do so in the future. In

particular, if we are unable to adapt to such changes, we may not be able to utilize these strategic partners and we may lose access to large numbers of clients as a result.

If any of the third party software providers change the features of their APIs, discontinue their support of such APIs, restrict our access to their APIs, or alter the terms governing their use in a manner that is adverse to our business, we will not be able to provide synchronization capabilities, which could significantly diminish the value of our solutions and harm our business, operating results, and financial condition.

If we fail to maintain, protect and enhance our brand, our ability to expand our client base will be impaired and our business, operating results, and financial condition may suffer.

We believe that further developing, maintaining, protecting and enhancing our brand domestically and on a global basis is important to support the marketing and sale of our existing and future solutions to existing and new clients and to attracting additional and strategic partners. Successfully further developing, maintaining and enhancing our brand will depend largely on the effectiveness of our marketing and demand generation efforts, our ability to provide reliable and seamless solutions that continue to meet the needs of our clients and their customers at competitive prices, our ability to maintain our clients’ trust, our ability to continue to develop new functionality, solutions, and our ability to successfully differentiate our solutions from competitive solutions. Our brand promotion activities may not generate client awareness or yield increased revenue, and even if they do, any increased revenue may not offset the expenses we incur in maintaining and building our brand. If we fail to successfully promote and maintain our brand or if we incur excessive expenses in this effort, our business could suffer.

The introduction and promotion of new solutions, as well as the promotion of existing solutions, may be partly dependent on our visibility on third-party advertising platforms, such as Google, LinkedIn, Facebook, or X. Changes in the way these platforms operate or changes in their advertising prices, data use practices or other terms could make the maintenance and promotion of our products and services and our brands more expensive or more difficult. If we are unable to market and promote our brands on third-party platforms effectively, our ability to acquire new clients would be materially harmed.

Harm to our brand can arise from many sources, including failure by us or our partners and service providers to satisfy expectations of service and quality; inadequate protection or misuse of sensitive information; fraud committed by third parties using our solutions; compliance failures and claims; litigation, regulatory and other claims; errors caused by us or our partners; and misconduct by our partners, service providers, or other counterparties. In addition, negative statements about us can cause and have caused a decline in the market price of our common stock, divert our management’s attention and resources, and could cause other adverse impacts to our business. Partners with whom we maintain relationships could engage in behavior or use their platforms to communicate directly with our clients and their customers in a manner that reflects poorly on our brand and such behavior or communications may adversely affect us. Further, negative publicity or commentary regarding the partners who are, or are perceived to be, affiliated with us may also damage our reputation, even if the negative publicity or commentary is not directly related to us. Any negative publicity about the industries we operate in or our company, the quality and reliability of our solutions, our risk management processes, changes to our products and services, our ability to effectively manage and resolve customer complaints, our privacy, data protection, and information security practices, litigation, regulatory activity, policy positions, and the experience of our clients and their customers with us, our products or services could adversely affect our reputation and the confidence in and use of our solutions. If we do not successfully maintain, protect or enhance our brands, our business could be materially and adversely affected.

If we lose key members of our management team or are unable to attract and retain executives and employees we need to support our operations and growth, our business may be harmed.

Our success and future growth depend upon the continued services of our management team and other key employees. Our Chief Executive Officer, Michael Massaro, and our President and Chief Operating Officer, Rob Orgel, are critical to our overall management, as well as the continued development of our solutions, strategic partnerships, culture, relationships with financial institutions, and strategic direction. From time to time, there may be changes in our management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives and key employees, which could disrupt our business. Our senior management and key employees are employed on an at-will basis. Changes in our senior management may be disruptive to our business, and, if we are unable to manage an orderly transition, our business may be adversely affected. We currently have “key person” insurance on our Chief Executive Officer, Michael Massaro, but not for any other members of our management team. Certain of our key employees have been with us for a long period of time and have fully vested stock options or other long-term equity incentives that are or may become valuable and are publicly tradable subject to Rule 144 limitations, which may reduce the incentive for each of these key employees to

remain at our Company. We cannot ensure that we will be able to retain the services of any members of our senior management or other key employees or that we would be able to timely replace members of our senior management or other key employees should any of them depart. The loss of our Chief Executive Officer, or our President and Chief Operating Officer, or one or more of our senior management, or other key employees could harm our business, and we may not be able to find adequate replacements.

The failure to attract and retain additional qualified personnel could prevent us from executing our business strategy and growth plans.

To execute our business strategy, we must attract and retain highly qualified personnel. Competition for executive officers, software developers, compliance and risk management personnel and other key employees in our industry and locations is intense and increasing, especially in the U.S., where wage inflation has been increasing. We compete with many other companies for software developers with high levels of experience in designing, developing, and managing payment systems, as well as for skilled legal and compliance and risk operations professionals. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced personnel have greater resources than we do and can frequently offer such personnel substantially greater compensation than we can offer. In addition, immigration policy and regulatory changes may also affect our ability to hire, mobilize, or retain some of our global talent. If we fail to identify, attract, develop and integrate new personnel, or fail to retain and motivate our current personnel, our growth prospects would be adversely affected.

If we cannot maintain our company culture as we grow, our success and our business may be harmed.

We believe our culture has been a key contributor to our success to date and that the critical nature of the solutions that we provide promotes a sense of greater purpose and fulfillment in our FlyMates. Any failure to preserve our culture could negatively affect our ability to retain and recruit personnel, which is critical to our growth, and to effectively focus on and pursue our corporate objectives. As we grow and develop the infrastructure of a public company, we may find it difficult to maintain these important aspects of our culture. If we fail to maintain our culture, our business and competitive position may be adversely affected.

Our sales cycles may be long and vary.

We devote significant resources to establish relationships with new clients and deepen relationships with existing clients. The sales cycles of our solutions tend to vary depending on the client industry sector which makes forecasting more complex and uncertain.

In addition, sales and sale cycles may be based in part or entirely on factors, or perceived factors, not directly related to the features of our solutions, including, among others, a client or prospective client’s projection of business growth, uncertainty about economic conditions (including as a result of heightened inflationary conditions, regulatory concerns, recession concerns, priorities of the U.S. presidential administration and related changes in laws, regulations or policies, and the escalation of hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, and Israel and Hamas), capital budgets, anticipated cost savings from the implementation of our solution, potential preference for internally-developed software solutions, perceptions about our business and solutions, more favorable terms offered by potential competitors, and previous technology investments. Mid-market and large enterprises tend to have more complex operating environments than smaller businesses, making it often more difficult and time-consuming for us to demonstrate the value of our solutions to prospective clients. The decision to use our solutions may also be an enterprise-wide decision, and require us to provide greater levels of education regarding the use and benefits of our solutions, which may result in additional time, effort, and money spent on our sales cycle without any assurance that our efforts will be successful in generating any sales. Often, major hospital systems and national or state higher education systems will solicit service offers by issuing RFPs, which are generally a time- and resource-intensive process, with no assurances of being selected as a vendor after the RFP process is completed. Additionally, large enterprises typically have longer implementation cycles, especially hospital and education systems, require greater product functionality and scalability and a broader range of services, demand that vendors take on a larger share of risks, sometimes require longer testing periods that delay general availability of our solutions, and expect greater payment flexibility from vendors. All of these factors can add further risk to business conducted with these clients. If we fail to realize an expected sale from a large end-client in a particular quarter or at all, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

In addition, we may face unexpected deployment challenges with enterprise clients. It may be difficult to deploy our software solutions if a client has unexpected database, hardware or software technology issues, or if a client insists on a more customized or unique solution that is time intensive or that we have little prior experience in delivering. Decisions on timing of deployments may also be impacted by cost and availability of personnel. Any difficulties or delays in the initial

implementation could cause clients to reject our solutions or lead to the delay or non-receipt of future orders, in which case our business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed.

We typically incur significant upfront costs in our client relationships, and if we are unable to develop or grow these relationships over time, we are unlikely to recover these costs and our operating results may suffer.

We devote significant resources to establish relationships with new clients and deepen relationships with existing clients. Our sales cycle for our solutions can be variable, typically ranging from three to nine months from initial contact to contract execution. However, there is potential for our sales cycle to extend beyond three to nine months. During the period of our sales cycle, our efforts involve educating our clients about the use, technical capabilities and benefits of our solutions. Our operating results depend in substantial part on our ability to deliver a successful client experience and persuade our clients to grow their relationship with us over time. As we expect to grow rapidly, our client acquisition costs could outpace our build-up of recurring revenue, and we may be unable to reduce our total operating costs through economies of scale such that we are unable to achieve or maintain profitability. Any increased or unexpected costs or unanticipated delays, including delays caused by factors outside of our control, could cause our operating results to suffer.

If we fail to offer high-quality client support, or if our support is more expensive than anticipated, our business and reputation could suffer.

Our clients and their customers rely on our support services to resolve issues and realize the full benefits provided by our solutions. High-quality support is also important for the expansion of the use of our solutions with existing clients and their customers. We provide multilingual support over chat, email or via telephone. The number of our clients, and the number of their customers utilizing our solutions, has grown significantly and such growth, as well as any future growth, will put additional pressure on our client service organization. If we do not help our clients and their customers quickly resolve issues and provide effective ongoing support, or if our support personnel or methods of providing support are insufficient to meet the needs of our clients and their customers, our ability to retain clients and their customers and acquire new clients and customers could suffer, and our reputation with existing or potential clients could be harmed. Providing an exceptional client experience requires significant time and resources from our client service team. Therefore, failure to scale our client service organization adequately may adversely impact our business results and financial condition.

In addition, as we continue to operate and grow our operations and continue to expand to new jurisdictions, we need to be able to provide efficient client service that meets our clients’ needs globally at scale. In geographies where we sell through our channel partners, if we are unable to provide a high quality client experience tailored to the language and culture of the applicable jurisdiction, our business operations and reputation may suffer.

We may require additional capital to support the growth of our business, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

We have funded our operations since inception primarily through equity and debt financings, sales of our solutions, and fees. We cannot be certain if our operations will continue to generate sufficient cash to fully fund our ongoing operations or the growth of our business. We intend to continue to make investments to support our business, which may require us to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. Additional financing may not be available on terms favorable to us, if at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to invest in future growth opportunities, which could harm our business, operating results, and financial condition. If we incur additional debt, the debt holders would have rights senior to holders of common stock to make claims on our assets, and the terms of any debt could restrict our operations, including our ability to pay dividends on our common stock. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity securities, stockholders will experience dilution, and the new equity securities could have rights senior to those of our common stock. Because our decision to issue securities in the future will depend on numerous considerations, including factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, or nature of any future issuances of debt or equity securities. As a result, our stockholders bear the risk of future issuances of debt or equity securities reducing the value of our common stock and diluting their interests.

Our business could be harmed as a result of the risks associated with our acquisitions.

As part of our business strategy, we have in the past and intend to continue to seek to acquire or invest in businesses, products or technologies that could complement or expand our business, enhance our technical capabilities or otherwise offer growth opportunities by providing us with additional intellectual property, client relationships and geographic coverage. The pursuit of potential acquisitions may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur various expenses in identifying, investigating, and pursuing suitable acquisitions, whether or not such acquisitions are

completed. In addition, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to find and identify desirable acquisition targets or that we will be successful in entering into a definitive agreement with any one target. In addition, even if we reach a definitive agreement with a target, there is no assurance that we will complete any future acquisition or if we do acquire additional businesses, we may not be able to integrate them effectively following the acquisition or effectively manage the combined business following the acquisition.

Any acquisitions we undertake or have recently completed, including the acquisitions of Sertifi in February 2025, Invoiced in August 2024, StudyLink in November 2023 and Cohort Go in July 2022, will likely be accompanied by business risks which may include, among other things:

•

the effect of the acquisition on our financial results, strategic position or reputation;

•

the failure of an acquisition to result in expected benefits, which may include benefits relating to enhanced revenues, technology, human resources, costs savings, operating efficiencies, goodwill and other synergies;

•

the difficulty, cost and management effort required to integrate the acquired businesses, including costs and delays in implementing common systems and procedures and costs and delays caused by communication difficulties;

•

the assumption of certain known or unknown liabilities of the acquired business, including litigation-related liabilities;

•

the reduction of our cash available for operations and other uses, the increase in amortization expense related to identifiable assets acquired, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt;

•

a lack of experience in new markets, new geographies, new business culture, products or technologies or an initial dependence on unfamiliar distribution partners;

•

the possibility that we will pay more than the value we derive from the acquisition;

•

the impairment of relationships with our clients, clients' customers, partners or suppliers or those of the acquired business; and

•

the potential loss of key employees of the acquired business.

These factors could harm our business, results of operations or financial condition.

In addition to the risks commonly encountered in the acquisition of a business or assets as described above, we may also experience risks relating to the challenges and costs of closing a transaction. The risks described above may be exacerbated as a result of managing multiple acquisitions at once.

Systems failures and resulting interruptions in the availability of our solutions and core payment platform could harm our business.

Our systems and payment platform and those of our service providers and partners have experienced from time to time, and may experience in the future, service interruptions or degradation because of hardware and software defects or malfunctions, distributed denial-of-service and other cyberattacks, insider threats, human error, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, and other natural disasters, including events resulting from climate change, war or other military conflict, including an escalation of the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, and Israel and Hamas, respectively, power losses, disruptions in telecommunications services, fraud, computer viruses or other malware, or other events. Some of our systems are not fully redundant, and our disaster recovery planning may not be sufficient for all possible outcomes or events. In addition, as a provider of payments solutions targeted to highly regulated clients in industries such as education and healthcare, we are subject to heightened scrutiny by regulators that may require specific business continuity, resiliency and disaster recovery plans, and more rigorous testing of such plans, which are costly and time-consuming to implement, and may divert our resources from other business priorities.

A prolonged interruption in the availability, speed, or functionality of our solutions, payment platform or payment methods could materially harm our business. Frequent or persistent interruptions in our solutions could cause current or potential clients and their customers to believe that our systems are unreliable, leading them to switch to our competitors or to avoid or reduce the use of our solutions, and could permanently harm our reputation and brand. Moreover, if any system or platform failure or similar event results in damages to our clients or their customers and business partners,

these clients, customers or partners could seek significant compensation or contractual penalties from us for their losses, and those claims, even if unsuccessful, would likely be time-consuming and costly for us to address.

We have undertaken and continue to make certain technology and network upgrades and redundancies which are designed to improve the reliability of our solutions and payment platform. These efforts are costly and time-consuming, involve significant technical risk and may divert our resources from new features and solutions, and there can be no guarantee that these efforts will succeed. Because we are a regulated payments institution in certain jurisdictions, frequent or persistent interruptions could lead to regulatory scrutiny, significant fines and penalties, and mandatory and costly changes to our business practices, and ultimately could cause us to lose existing licenses that we need to operate or prevent or delay us from obtaining additional licenses that may be required for our business.

We use public cloud hosting with AWS and depend on AWS’ ability to protect their data centers against damage or interruption from natural disasters, power or telecommunications failures, criminal acts, and similar events. Our operations depend on protecting the cloud infrastructure hosted by AWS by maintaining the configuration, architecture, and interconnection specifications, as well as the information stored in these virtual data centers and transmitted by third-party internet service providers. In limited occasions, we have experienced service disruptions in the past, and may experience interruptions or delays in our solutions in the future. We may also incur significant costs for using alternative equipment or taking other actions in preparation for, or in reaction to, events that damage the data storage services we use. Although we have disaster recovery plans that utilize various data storage locations, any incident affecting our data storage or internet service providers’ infrastructure that may be caused by fire, flood, severe storm, earthquake, power loss, telecommunications failures, unauthorized intrusion, computer viruses and disabling devices, natural disasters, war or other military conflict, including an escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, terrorist attacks, negligence, and other similar events beyond our control could negatively affect our solutions. Additionally, in July 2024, a software update by CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc., a cybersecurity technology company, caused widespread crashes of Windows systems into which it was integrated, including certain Windows systems used by our vendors and customers. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have not experienced any significant impacts as a result of the CrowdStrike software update, but we could in the future experience similar software-induced interruptions to our operations. Any prolonged service disruption affecting our solutions could damage our reputation with current and potential clients, expose us to liability, cause us to lose clients, or otherwise harm our business. In the event of damage or interruption to our solutions, our insurance policies may not adequately compensate us for any losses that we may incur.

In addition, we may experience financial losses due to a number of factors, including:

•

third party disruptions, including potential outages at network providers and other suppliers;

•

supply chain impacts, including shortages of goods, raw materials, increased prices or delays in shipment;

•

challenges to the availability and reliability of our network due to changes to normal operations;

•

increased cyber and payment fraud risk, as cybercriminals attempt DDoS related attacks, phishing scams and other disruptive actions, given the shift to online banking, e-commerce and other online activity, as well as more FlyMates working remotely; and

•

system failures or outages, including any potential disruptions due to significantly increased global demand on certain cloud-based systems, could compromise our ability to provide our solutions in a timely manner, which could harm our ability to conduct business or delay our financial reporting. Such failures could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

Our solutions and payment platform are accessed by many of our clients and their customers, often at the same time. As we continue to expand the number of clients that we serve and solutions that we are able to offer to our clients and their customers, we may not be able to scale our technology to accommodate the increased capacity requirements, which may result in interruptions or delays in service. In addition, the failure of data centers, internet service providers, or other third-party service providers to meet our capacity requirements could result in interruptions or delays in access to our solutions or platform or impede our ability to grow our business and scale our operations. If our third-party infrastructure service agreements are terminated, or there is a lapse of service, interruption of internet service provider connectivity, or damage to data centers, we could experience interruptions in access to our solutions as well as delays and additional expense in arranging new facilities and services.

We also rely on components, applications, and services supplied by third parties, including payment service providers and merchant acquirer partners which subjects us to risks. If these third parties experience operational interference or disruptions, breach their agreements with us, fail to perform their obligations and meet our expectations, or experience a cybersecurity incident, our operations could be disrupted or otherwise negatively affected, which could result

in client dissatisfaction, regulatory scrutiny, and damage to our reputation and brand, and materially and adversely affect our business.

In addition, we are continually improving and upgrading our systems and technologies. Implementation of new systems and technologies is complex, expensive, and time-consuming. If we fail to timely and successfully implement new systems and technologies, or improvements or upgrades to existing information systems and technologies, or if such systems and technologies do not operate as intended, this could have an adverse impact on our business, internal controls (including internal controls over financial reporting), results of operations, and financial condition.

Risks Related to Our Legal, Regulatory and Compliance Landscape

We handle cross-border and domestic payments and plan to expand our solutions to new clients, to accept and settle payments in new countries and in new currencies, and to increase our global network to allow us to offer local and alternative payment methods, creating a variety of operational challenges; additionally, our domestic and international operations subject us to increased risks, which could harm our business.

Our business is subject to risks inherent in conducting business globally, including cross-border payments and domestic payments in the United States and certain other markets. Our handling of domestic and cross-border payments to our clients generates a significant portion of our revenues, with a substantial portion of such revenues coming from payments processed from Asia (including India, China and Korea). We expect that international revenues will continue to account for a significant percentage of total net revenues for the foreseeable future, and that in particular, the proportion of our revenue from Asia will continue to increase. Current events, including the potential implementation of tariffs, the possibility of renegotiated trade deals and international tax law treaties, priorities of the U.S. presidential administration and related changes in laws, regulations or policies, United States-China and Canada-India diplomatic and trade friction, heightened tensions between China and Taiwan and the escalation of the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, and Israel and Hamas, respectively, create a level of uncertainty, and potentially increased complexity, for multinational companies. These uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, international operations are subject to various risks which could have a material adverse effect on those operations or our business as a whole, including:

•

foreign currency exchange rate volatility;

•

adverse economic conditions in the United States and globally, including economic slowdown, heightened interest rates, inflation, recession concerns and the disruption, volatility and tightening of credit and capital markets;

•

risks related to compliance with multiple complex, potentially conflicting and changing governmental laws and regulations;

•

local licensing and reporting obligations or the imposition of currency controls which make it impossible or increasingly difficult for our clients to collect payments from international customers;

•

local regulatory and legal obligations related to privacy, data protection, data localization, and user protections;

•

the need to localize our solutions, including offering clients and their customers the ability to transact business in the local currency and adapting our solutions to local preferences, in markets in which we may have limited or no experience;

•

trade barriers, tariffs and changes in trade regulations;

•

the impact of government sanctions on our ability to offer services in a region, such as sanctions issued by the U.S. and other countries against Russia;

•

difficulties in developing, staffing, and managing a large number of varying foreign operations as a result of distance, language, and cultural differences;

•

stringent local labor laws and regulations;

•

limitations on the repatriation of cash, including imposition or increase of withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by foreign subsidiaries;

•

diplomatic friction, political or social unrest, war or other military conflict, including an escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and between Israel and Hamas, respectively, economic instability, repression, or human rights issues;

•

natural disasters, global pandemics such as COVID-19 or other public health emergencies, acts of war, and terrorism;

•

compliance with U.S. laws and foreign laws prohibiting corrupt payments to government officials, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the U.K. Bribery Act, and other local anti-corruption laws;

•

compliance with U.S. and foreign laws designed to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorist activities;

•

retaliatory tariffs and restrictions limiting free movement of currency and an unfavorable trade environment, including as a result of political conditions and changes in the laws, regulations or policies in the United States and elsewhere and as described in more detail below;

•

antitrust and competition regulations;

•

expanded compliance with potentially conflicting and changing laws of taxing jurisdictions where we conduct business and applicable U.S. tax laws as they relate to international operations, the complexity and adverse consequences of such tax laws, and potentially adverse tax consequences due to changes in such tax laws or levels of enforcement, including the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which includes a minimum corporate tax which could result in an additional tax liability in a given year;

•

expected or actual extended federal government shutdowns or the priorities of the U.S. presidential administration and related changes in laws, regulations or policies;

•

national or regional differences in macroeconomic growth rates; and

•

increased difficulties in collecting accounts receivable.

Foreign operations may also expose us to political, social, regulatory and economic uncertainties affecting a country or region, or to political hostility to investments by foreign or private equity investors. Many financial markets are not as developed or as efficient as those in the United States, and as a result, liquidity may be reduced and price volatility may be higher in those markets than in more developed markets. The legal and regulatory environment may also be different, particularly with respect to bankruptcy and reorganization, and may afford us less protection as a creditor than we may be entitled to under U.S. law. Financial accounting standards and practices may differ, and there may be less publicly available information in respect of such companies.

Restrictions imposed or actions taken by foreign governments could include exchange controls, seizure or nationalization of foreign deposits and adoption of other governmental restrictions which adversely affect the prices of securities or the ability to repatriate profits. For instance, we process a substantial amount of payments from China. The Chinese government imposes controls on the convertibility of the Renminbi the currency of China, into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. The Chinese government may at its discretion further restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions, or impose regulatory requirements that may require modifications to our business model for our clients' payors located in China. In addition, income received by us from sources in some countries may be reduced by withholding and other taxes. Any such taxes paid by us will reduce the net income or return from such investments. While we will take these factors into consideration in making investment decisions, including when hedging positions, no assurance can be given that we will be able to fully avoid these risks or generate sufficient risk-adjusted returns.

Violations of the complex foreign and U.S. laws, rules and regulations that apply to our cross-border operations may result in fines, criminal actions, or sanctions against us, our officers, or FlyMates; prohibitions on the conduct of our business; and damage to our reputation. Although we have implemented policies and procedures designed to promote compliance with these laws, there can be no assurance that our FlyMates, contractors, or agents will not violate our policies. These risks are inherent in our cross-border operations and expansion, may increase our costs of doing business internationally, and could harm our business.

Payments and other financial services-related regulations and oversight are material to our business. Our failure to comply could materially harm our business.

The local, state, and federal laws, rules, regulations, licensing schemes, and industry standards in the United States and other jurisdictions in which we operate that govern our business include, or may in the future include, those relating to consumer finance and consumer protection, cross-border and domestic money transmission, foreign exchange, payments services (such as money transmission, payment processing, and settlement services), AML and CFT, escheatment, international sanctions regimes, and compliance with the PCI DSS. These laws, rules, regulations, licensing schemes, and standards are enforced by multiple authorities and governing bodies in the United States, including the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the SEC, CFPB, the Federal Trade Commission, self-regulatory organizations, and numerous state and local regulators and law enforcement agencies. Our clients also have their own regulatory obligations, and they expect our solutions to comply with the regulatory requirements that are applicable to their businesses. For additional discussion about the regulatory environment that we and our clients operate in, please see “Business–Regulation and Industry Standards”. As we expand into new jurisdictions, the number of foreign laws, rules, regulations, licensing schemes, and standards governing our business will expand as well. In addition, as our business and solutions continue to develop and expand, we may become subject to additional laws, rules, regulations, licensing schemes, and standards. We may not always be able to accurately predict the scope or applicability of certain laws, rules, regulations, licensing schemes, or standards to our business, particularly as we expand into new areas of operations, which could have a significant negative effect on our existing business and our ability to pursue future plans.

Certain of our subsidiaries are registered with FinCEN. Our subsidiary Flywire Global Corp. has obtained licenses to operate as a money transmitter (or the statutory equivalent) in 45 U.S. jurisdictions, and is in the process of applying for a license in, to the best of our knowledge, all U.S. states and territories where such licensure or registration is required in order to be able to offer additional business lines in the future. As a licensed money transmitter, we are (and in the states where we are awaiting licensure, will be) subject to obligations and restrictions with respect to the investment of client funds, reporting requirements, bonding requirements, minimum capital requirements, and inspection by state regulatory agencies concerning various aspects of our business. Evaluation of our compliance efforts, as well as the questions of whether and to what extent our solutions are considered money transmission, are matters of regulatory interpretation and could change over time. In addition, there are substantial costs involved in maintaining and renewing our licenses, certifications, and approvals, and we could be subject to fines or other enforcement action if we are found to violate disclosure, reporting, AML, CFT, capitalization, corporate governance, or other requirements of such licenses.

If we fail to predict how a U.S. law or regulation or a law or regulation from another jurisdiction in which we operate will be applied to us, we could be subject to additional licensure requirements and/or administrative enforcement actions. This could also require changes to the manner in which we conduct some aspects of our business or potential product changes, and require us to pay fines, penalties, or compensation to clients for past non-compliance. At the federal level, we are registered as a MSB with FinCEN. For additional discussion of the requirements of our MSB registration, please see “Business – Regulation and Industry Standards.” At the state level, we rely on various exemptions from state money transmitter licensing requirements, and regulators may find that we have violated applicable laws or regulations because we are not licensed or registered as a money transmitter in all of the U.S. jurisdictions we service. We believe, based on our business model, that we have valid exemptions from licensure under various state money transmission laws, either expressly as a payment processor or agent of the payee, or pursuant to common law as an agent of the payee. While we believe we have defensible arguments in support of our positions under the state money transmission statutes, we have not expressly obtained confirmation of such positions from the state banking departments who administer the state money transmission statutes. It is possible that certain state banking departments may determine that our activities are not exempt. Any determination that we are in fact required to be licensed under the money transmission statute of a state where we are not yet licensed may require substantial expenditures of time and money to remediate and could lead to liability in the nature of penalties or fines, costs, legal fees, reputational damage or other negative consequences. We could be required to cease operations in some or all of the U.S. jurisdictions we service and where we are not yet licensed, which determination would have a materially adverse effect on our business, including our financial condition, operating results, and reputation. In the past, certain competitors have been found to violate laws and regulations related to money transmission, and they have been subject to fines and other penalties by regulatory authorities.

The adoption of new money transmitter or MSB statutes in jurisdictions or changes in regulators’ interpretation of existing state and federal money transmitter or MSB statutes or regulations could subject us to new registration or licensing requirements. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain any such licenses in all of the jurisdictions we service, and, even if we were able to do so, there could be substantial costs and potential product changes involved in maintaining such licenses, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business. These factors could impose substantial additional costs, involve considerable delay to the development or provision of our

solutions, require significant and costly operational changes, or prevent us from providing our solutions in any given market.

The regulatory environment in which we operate is subject to constant change, and new regulations could make aspects of our business as currently conducted no longer possible.

As a result of the regulations applicable to our business, we could be subject to investigations and resulting liability, including governmental fines, restrictions on our business, or other sanctions, and we could be forced to cease conducting certain aspects of our business with residents of certain jurisdictions, be forced to change our business practices in certain jurisdictions, or be required to obtain additional licenses or regulatory approvals. For example, because a majority of voters in the U.K. approved an exit from the E.U. (commonly referred to as Brexit), we were required to obtain a license from a member state of the EEA which would allow us to continue to provide our solutions to clients located in the EEA under a principle known as “passporting”. We were able to obtain a license as an authorized payment institution from the Bank of Lithuania in September 2019 and subsequently obtained the right to passport our solutions to other EEA member states.

Government agencies may impose new or additional rules on money transmission, which may increase our costs of doing business, including, but not limited to regulations that:

•

prohibit, restrict, and/or impose taxes or fees on money transmission transactions in, to or from certain countries or with certain governments, individuals, and entities;

•

impose additional client identification and client due diligence requirements;

•

impose additional reporting or recordkeeping requirements, or require enhanced transaction monitoring;

•

limit the types of entities capable of providing money transmission services, or impose additional licensing or registration requirements;

•

impose minimum capital or other financial requirements;

•

limit or restrict the revenue that may be generated from money transmission, including revenue from the transaction value associated with the payment method used by our clients’ customers and platform-related fees for access to our solutions and invoice and payment plan fees;

•

require enhanced disclosures to our money transmission clients or their customers;

•

require the principal amount of money transmission transactions originated in a country to be invested in that country or held in trust until paid;

•

limit the number or principal amount of money transmission transactions that may be sent to or from a jurisdiction, whether by an individual or in the aggregate; and

•

restrict or limit our ability to process transactions using centralized databases, for example, by requiring that transactions be processed using a database maintained in a particular country or region.

We are subject to governmental laws and requirements regarding economic and trade sanctions, AML and CFT that could impair our ability to compete in international markets or subject us to criminal or civil liability if we violate them.

We are currently required to comply with U.S. economic and trade sanctions administered by OFAC and we have processes in place designed to comply with the OFAC regulations as well as similar requirements in the foreign jurisdictions in which we already operate. As part of our compliance efforts, we scan our clients and their customers against watch lists promulgated by OFAC and certain other international agencies. Our application can be accessed from nearly anywhere in the world, and if our service is accessed from a sanctioned country or otherwise accessed or used in violation of applicable trade and economic sanctions, we could be subject to fines or other enforcement actions. In the course of enhancing our sanctions compliance function, we initiated an internal review that identified issues related to our compliance with sanctions, including payments that may have originated from sanctioned jurisdictions or sanctioned persons. We have made voluntary submissions to OFAC to report the apparent violations and to provide supplemental information. Flywire is currently engaging with OFAC to resolve these matters. Although the internal investigation

completed to date suggests that any loss incurred as a result of this matter would not be material to our business, if OFAC ultimately concludes any violation has occurred in connection with these or other transactions, it could result in penalties, fines, costs, and restrictions on our ability to do business, which could also harm our operating results.

We are also subject to various AML and CFT laws and regulations around the world that prohibit, among other things, our involvement in transferring the proceeds of criminal or terrorist activities. In the United States, most of our solutions are subject to AML laws and regulations, including the BSA, and similar laws and regulations. The BSA, among other things, requires MSBs to develop and implement risk-based AML programs, to report large cash transactions and suspicious activity, and in some cases, to collect and maintain information about clients who use their services and maintain other transaction records. Regulators and third-party auditors have identified gaps in how similar businesses have implemented AML programs, and we could likewise be subject to significant fines, penalties, inquiries, audits, investigations, enforcement actions, and criminal and civil liability if our AML program is found to be insufficient by a regulator.

Our business operations in other parts of the world such as the U.K., Lithuania, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Indonesia and Singapore are subject to similar laws and requirements. Regulators in the United States and globally continue to increase their scrutiny of compliance with these obligations, which may require us to further revise or expand our compliance program, including the procedures we use to verify the identity of our clients and to monitor transactions on our system, including payments to persons outside of the United States. Regulators regularly re-examine the transaction volume thresholds at which we must obtain and keep applicable records or verify identities of clients, and any change in such thresholds could result in greater costs for compliance. Similarly, as a condition to doing business with us, our banking and other strategic partners also impose ongoing obligations on us related to AML and CFT and sanctions screening. Any failure on our part to maintain the necessary processes and policies to comply with these regulations and requirements, or to adapt our processes and policies to changes in laws, would subject us to penalties, fines, or loss of key relationships which would have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Furthermore, government sanctions imposed with respect to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in early 2022 are impacting our ability to offer our services in the region, and additional sanctions could be imposed in the future. Further instability or tension in Russia, Ukraine, and the surrounding region could also cause us to adjust our operating model, which would increase our costs of operations.

Any actual or perceived failure to comply with governmental regulation and other legal obligations, particularly those related to privacy, data protection, and information security, could harm our business. Compliance with such laws could also result in additional costs and liabilities to us or inhibit sales of our solutions.

Our clients and their customers store personal and business information, financial information and other sensitive information through our solutions. In addition, we collect, store, and process personal and business information and other data from and about actual and prospective clients, their customers, our FlyMates and our service providers and other business partners, as well as their personnel. Our handling of data is subject to a variety of laws and regulations, including regulation by various government agencies, such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and various state, local, and foreign agencies. Our data handling is also subject to contractual obligations and industry standards.

The U.S. federal and various state and foreign governments have adopted or proposed limitations on the collection, distribution, use, and storage of data relating to individuals and businesses, including the use of contact information and other data for marketing, advertising, and other communications with individuals and businesses. In the United States, various laws and regulations apply to the collection, processing, disclosure, and security of certain types of data, including the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the Gramm Leach Bliley Act, FERPA, HIPAA, and the now in question E.U.-U.S. and Swiss—U.S. Privacy Shield protections, as well as state laws relating to privacy and data security. Additionally, the FTC and many state attorneys general are interpreting federal and state consumer protection laws as imposing standards for the online collection, use, dissemination, and security of data. For example, California enacted the CCPA, which took effect on January 1, 2020 and became enforceable by the California Attorney General on July 1, 2020, and broadly defines personal information. The CCPA creates new individual privacy rights for consumers (as that term is broadly defined) and places increased privacy and security obligations on entities handling personal data of consumers or households. The CCPA requires covered companies to provide certain disclosures to California consumers about its data collection, use and sharing practices, provide such consumers with ways to opt-out of certain sales or transfers of personal information, provides for civil penalties for violations, and allows for a new private right of action for data breaches that has resulted in an increase in data breach litigation. It remains unclear, however, how the CCPA will be interpreted. As currently written, it will likely impact our business activities and exemplifies the vulnerability of our business to not only cyber threats but also the evolving regulatory environment related to personal data and protected health information. On August 24, 2022, the California Attorney General announced the entry of a final judgment enforcement action resulting in a fine and settlement under the CCPA, as the defendant was

ordered to pay a $1.2 million penalty and, among other things, implement a monitoring and reporting program to demonstrate its ongoing compliance with the CCPA.

Additionally, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which was passed in November 2020 and became effective on January 1, 2023, imposed additional obligations on companies covered by the legislation and significantly modified the CCPA, including by expanding consumers’ rights with respect to certain sensitive personal information. The CPRA also created a new state agency that will be vested with authority to implement and enforce the CCPA and the CPRA. The effects of the CCPA and the CPRA are potentially significant and may require us to modify our data collection or processing practices and policies and to incur substantial costs and expenses in an effort to comply and increase our potential exposure to regulatory enforcement and/or litigation.

The laws and regulations relating to privacy and data security are evolving, can be subject to significant change, and may result in ever-increasing regulatory and public scrutiny and escalating levels of enforcement and sanctions. The CCPA, in particular, has prompted a number of proposals for new federal and state-level privacy legislation, which could increase our potential liability and adversely affect our business. Several states in the U.S. have proposed or enacted laws that contain obligations similar to the CCPA and CPRA that have taken effect or will take effect in coming years. The U.S. federal government also is contemplating federal privacy legislation. The effects of recently proposed or enacted legislation potentially are far-reaching. Such legislation may add additional complexity, variation in requirements, restrictions and potential legal risk, require additional investment of resources in compliance programs, impact strategies and the availability of previously useful data and could result in increased compliance costs and/or changes in business practices and policies.

Many of the foreign jurisdictions where we or our clients operate or conduct business, including the E.U., have laws and regulations dealing with the collection, use, storage, and disclosure and other handling (collectively, processing) of personal information, which in some cases are more restrictive than those in the U.S. In addition to regulating the processing of personal information within the relevant jurisdictions, these legal requirements often also apply to the processing of personal information outside these jurisdictions, where there is some specified link to the relevant jurisdiction. For example, we have multiple offices in Europe and serves clients and their customers throughout the E.U., where the GDPR went into effect in 2018. The GDPR, which is also the law in Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein, and—to a large degree—the U.K., has an extensive global reach and imposes robust obligations relating to the processing of personal information, including documentation requirements, greater control for data subjects (e.g., the “right to be forgotten” and data portability), security requirements, notice requirements, restrictions on sharing personal information, data governance obligations, data breach notification requirements, and restrictions on the export of personal information to most other countries. The solutions that we currently offer subject us to many of these laws and regulations in many of the foreign jurisdictions where we operate or conduct business, and these laws and regulations may be modified or subject to new or different interpretations, and new laws and regulations may be enacted in the future.

Legal developments have created compliance uncertainty regarding some transfers of personal information from the U.K. and EEA to locations where we or our clients operate or conduct business, including the United States and potentially Singapore, particularly with respect to cross-border transfers. Under the GDPR, such transfers can take place only if certain conditions apply or if certain data transfer mechanisms are in place. In July 2020, the Court of Justice of the E.U. ruled in its “Schrems II” decision (C-311/18), that the Privacy Shield, a transfer mechanism used by thousands of companies to transfer data between those jurisdictions and United States (and also used by us), was invalid and could no longer be used due to the strength of United States surveillance laws. In September 2020, the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner of Switzerland (where the law has a similar restriction on the export of personal information) issued an opinion concluding that the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework does not provide an adequate level of protection for data transfers from Switzerland to the United States pursuant to Switzerland’s Federal Act on Data Protection. We and our clients continue to use alternative transfer strategies, including SCCs, while the authorities interpret the Schrems II decision and the validity of alternative data transfer mechanisms. The SCCs, though previously approved by the European Commission, have faced challenges in European courts (including being called into question in the Schrems II decision), and may be further challenged, suspended or invalidated for transfers to some or all countries. For example, guidance regarding Schrems II issued by the European Data Protection Board (which is comprised of representatives from every E.U. member state’s top data protection authority) have cast serious doubt on the validity of SCCs for most transfers of personal information to the United States. At present, there are few if any viable alternatives to the Privacy Shield and the SCCs, so such developments may necessitate further expenditures on local infrastructure, changes to internal business processes, changes to clients and clients' customer facing solutions, or may otherwise affect or restrict our sales and operations.

On June 4, 2021, the European Commission released the final Implementing Decision on SCCs (New SCCs) for the transfer of personal data from the E.U. to “third countries” such as the US. The New SCCs will repeal and replace the

existing SCCs (dating from 2001, 2004 and 2010) and address the entry into force of the GDPR) and the July 2020 decision of the CJEU in Schrems II, which invalidated the E.U.-U.S. Privacy Shield. The New SCCs broadly follow the draft implementing decision on standard contractual clauses (Draft SCCs) issued by the European Commission on November 12, 2020, but there are some material differences. The Draft SCCs’ significant and extensive new requirements for data importers that act as controllers (for example, obligations to give notice to data subjects and to notify personal data breaches to EU authorities) remain, but have been aligned more closely with the GDPR requirements. While the New SCCs are not immediately in force, compliance with them will be required for new transfer agreements entered into from late September 2021. SCCs then in effect were required to be replaced with the New SCCs by December 27, 2022.

On July 10, 2023, the European Commission formally approved the new EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (the “Framework”), under which European entities will now be able to transfer personal data to Framework participants in the U.S. without having to put in place additional data protection safeguards or use the Standard Contractual Clauses for data transfers. We are in the process of evaluating how we may self-certify as a participating organization with the U.S. Department of Commerce.

E.U. data protection authorities have the power to impose administrative fines for violations of the GDPR of up to a maximum of €20 million or 4% of a corporate family’s total worldwide global turnover for the preceding fiscal year, whichever is higher. Such penalties are in addition to any civil litigation claims by clients, data subjects or other third parties. We believe that the solutions that we currently offer subject us to the GDPR and other laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection, and information security, and these may be modified or subject to new or different interpretations in the future. We will need to take steps to address compliance obligations in this rapidly evolving legal environment, but we cannot assure you that we will be able to implement changes in a timely manner or without significant disruption to our business, or that such steps will be effective, and we may face the risk of liability and loss of business.

In addition, further to the U.K. exit from the E.U. on January 31, 2020, the GDPR ceased to apply in the U.K. at the end of the transition period on December 31, 2020. However, as of January 1, 2021, the U.K.’s European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 incorporated the GDPR (as it existed on December 31, 2020 but subject to certain U.K. specific amendments) into U.K. law (referred to as the U.K. GDPR). The U.K. GDPR and the U.K. Data Protection Act 2018 set out the U.K.’s data protection regime, which is independent from but aligned to the E.U.’s data protection regime. Non-compliance with the U.K. GDPR may result in monetary penalties of up to £17.5 million or 4% of worldwide revenue, whichever is higher. Like the GDPR, the U.K. GDPR restricts personal data transfers outside the U.K. to countries not regarded by the U.K. as providing adequate protection (this means that personal data transfers from the U.K. to the EEA remain free flowing).

On June 28, 2021, the European Commission adopted an adequacy decision under the GDPR, thereby recognizing that the U.K.’s data protection system continues to provide the same protections with respect to personal data as when it was an EU member state, and enabling the continued exchange of personal data between the E.U. and the U.K. The adequacy decision facilitates the implementation of the E.U.-U.K. Trade Cooperation Agreement, which foresaw the need for bilateral data flow and continued cooperation. The adequacy decision does, however, include a ‘sunset clause’, limiting its duration to four years, at which point the European Commission will need to once again review the safeguards in place in the U.K.’s post-Brexit legal system and decide if the adequacy decision may be renewed.

This lack of clarity on future U.K. laws and regulations and their interaction with E.U. laws and regulations could add legal risk, uncertainty, complexity and cost to our handling of E.U. personal information and our privacy and data security compliance programs. It is possible that over time the U.K. Data Protection Act 2018 could become less aligned with the GDPR, which could require us to implement different compliance measures for the U.K. and the E.U. and result in potentially enhanced compliance obligations for E.U. personal data.

In Asia, there has been an increase in both regulation and enforcement of privacy laws. The Act on Protection of Personal Information originally enacted in June 2020 by the Japanese government, was amended and came into effect on April 1, 2022 (Amended APPI). Since the passage of the Amended APPI, a number of implementing regulations and supporting documents have been released, addressing the requirements for transferring personal data outside Japan, notifying security breaches and creating pseudonymous information exempt from certain obligations under the Amended APPI. We have taken steps to address compliance obligations that apply to us under the Amended APPI, but cannot assure you that such steps will be effective, and we may face the risk of increased costs, liability and loss of business.

China (home to the most online users in the world) passed its DSL and its PIPL in 2021. The DSL applies to a wide range of data processing activities including, but not limited to, processing personal information. With extraterritorial scope and severe fines and penalties, these laws are set to impose an increasingly complex and comprehensive legal

framework for processing personal information when doing business in China. The PIPL is enforced and administered by the Cyberspace Administration of China and relevant state and local government departments. The law draws from the GDPR, with heavy penalties up to the greater of 5% of the previous year’s revenue (possibly global) or $7.7 million. Chinese authorities have demonstrated a willingness to impose significant fines for violations of PIPL and other privacy laws, as evidenced by enforcement actions against Alibaba Group Holding Ltd and Didi Global Inc. in 2022.

As a reaction to data security concerns, in 2022, the Australian parliament approved a bill to amend the country's privacy legislation, significantly increasing the maximum penalties for companies and data controllers who suffer large-scale data breaches to the greater of: (i) AU$50 million, (ii) three times the value of any benefit obtained through the misuse of information, and (iii) 30% of a company's adjusted turnover in the relevant period. Previously, the penalty for severe data exposures was AU$2.22 million, considered by the current parliament to be wholly inadequate to incentivize companies to improve their data security mechanisms. The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner has new regulatory tools and flexibility that should, together with an ongoing focus on funding enforcement, see a more proactive regulator with capacity and capability to investigate and litigate more privacy incidents in Australia.

We have taken steps to address compliance obligations that apply to us under the Amended APPI, the DSL, the PIPL and applicable Australian regulations, but cannot assure you that such steps will be effective, and we may face the risk of increased costs, liability and loss of business.

In addition to government regulation, privacy advocates and industry groups may propose new and different self-regulatory standards that, if adopted, may apply to us, or which clients or clients' customers may require us to adopt. Because the interpretation and application of privacy and data protection laws, regulations, rules, and other standards are still uncertain, it is possible that these laws, rules, regulations, and other actual or alleged legal obligations, such as contractual or self-regulatory obligations, may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with our existing data management practices or the functionality of our solutions. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, lawsuits and other claims, we could be required to fundamentally change our business activities and practices or modify our software, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with laws, regulations, policies, legal, or contractual obligations, industry standards, or regulatory guidance relating to privacy or data security, may result in governmental investigations and enforcement actions, litigation, fines and penalties, or adverse publicity, and could cause our clients and partners to lose trust in us, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation and business. We expect that there will continue to be new proposed laws, regulations, and industry standards relating to privacy, data protection, marketing, consumer communications, and information security, and we cannot determine the impact such future laws, regulations, and standards may have on our business. Future laws, regulations, standards, and other obligations or any changed interpretation of existing laws or regulations could impair our ability to develop and market new functionality and maintain and grow our client base and increase revenue. Future restrictions on the collection, use, sharing, or disclosure of data, or additional requirements for express or implied consent of our clients, partners, or end users for the use and disclosure of such information could require us to incur additional costs or modify our solutions, possibly in a material manner, and could limit our ability to develop new functionality.

If we are not able to comply with these laws or regulations, or if we become liable under these laws or regulations, we could be directly harmed, and we may be forced to implement new measures to reduce our exposure to this liability. This may require us to expend substantial resources or to discontinue certain solutions, which would negatively affect our business, financial condition, and operating results. In addition, the increased attention focused upon liability issues as a result of lawsuits and legislative proposals could harm our reputation or otherwise adversely affect the growth of our business. Furthermore, any costs incurred as a result of this potential liability could harm our operating results.

We are subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, and similar laws, and non-compliance with such laws can subject us to criminal or civil liability and harm our business.

We are subject to the FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act, U.S. domestic bribery laws, and other anti-corruption laws. Anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws have been enforced aggressively in recent years and are interpreted broadly to generally prohibit companies, their employees, and their third-party intermediaries from authorizing, offering, or providing, directly or indirectly, improper payments or benefits to recipients in the public sector. These laws also require that we keep accurate books and records and maintain internal controls and compliance procedures designed to prevent any such actions. We maintain operations and serve clients around the world. Although we do not target government entities as clients, some of our clients may receive funding or other support from local, state, provincial or national governments. As we maintain and seek to increase our international cross-border business and expand operations abroad, we may engage with business partners and third-party intermediaries to market our solutions and to obtain necessary permits, licenses, and other regulatory approvals. In addition, we or our third-party intermediaries may have direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of government agencies or state-owned or affiliated entities. We can be held liable for the corrupt or other

illegal activities of these third-party intermediaries, our FlyMates, representatives, contractors, partners, and agents, even if we do not explicitly authorize such activities.

While we maintain policies and training programs for our FlyMates related to anti-corruption, anti-bribery and gift giving, and include representations regarding legal compliance in our contracts with vendors and strategic partners, there can be no assurances that these policies, training programs or contractual provisions will be observed or enforceable. We cannot assure you that all of our FlyMates and agents will not take actions in violation of our policies and applicable law, for which we may be ultimately held responsible. As we increase our international business, our risks under these laws may increase.

Detecting, investigating, and resolving actual or alleged violations of anti-corruption laws can require a significant diversion of time, resources, and attention from senior management. In addition, noncompliance with anti-corruption or anti-bribery laws could subject us to whistleblower complaints, investigations, sanctions, settlements, prosecution, enforcement actions, fines, damages, other civil or criminal penalties, injunctions, suspension or debarment from contracting with certain persons, reputational harm, adverse media coverage, and other collateral consequences. If any subpoenas are received or investigations are launched, or governmental or other sanctions are imposed, or if we do not prevail in any possible civil or criminal proceeding, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially harmed. In addition, responding to any action will likely result in a materially significant diversion of management’s attention and resources and significant defense costs and other professional fees.

In February 2022, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the United States and other countries announced sanctions against Russia. The sanctions by the United States and other countries against Russia to date include restrictions on selling or importing goods, services or technology in or from affected regions, travel bans and asset freezes impacting connected individuals and political, military, business and financial organizations in Russia, severing Russia’s largest bank from the U.S. financial system, barring some Russian enterprises from raising money in the U.S. market and blocking the access of Russian banks to financial markets. The United States and other countries could impose wider sanctions and take other actions should the conflict further escalate. While it is difficult to anticipate the impact the sanctions announced to date may have on us, any further sanctions imposed or actions taken by the United States or other countries, and any retaliatory measures by Russia in response, could increase our costs, reduce our sales and earnings or otherwise have an adverse effect on our operations.

If we fail to adequately protect our proprietary rights, our competitive position could be impaired and we may lose valuable assets, generate less revenue and incur costly litigation to protect our rights.

Our success is dependent, in part, upon protecting our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secret laws, the domain name dispute resolution mechanism, confidentiality procedures, and contractual provisions to establish and protect our proprietary rights. However, effective protection of intellectual property rights is expensive, both in terms of application and maintenance costs, as well as the costs of defending and enforcing those rights, and the steps we take to protect our intellectual property may be inadequate. We do not have patents covering any of our technology and do not actively pursue patents. Any of our trademarks, or other intellectual property rights may be challenged or circumvented by others, or narrowed or invalidated through administrative process or litigation. There can be no guarantee that others will not independently develop similar solutions or duplicate any of our solutions. Furthermore, legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability, and scope of protection of intellectual property rights are uncertain. Despite our precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy our solutions and use information that we regard as proprietary to create solutions that compete with ours.

We pursue registration of copyrights, trademarks, and domain names in the United States and in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, but doing so may not always be successful or cost-effective. We may be unable or, in some instances, choose not to obtain legal protection for our intellectual property, and our existing and future intellectual property rights may not provide us with competitive advantages or distinguish our solutions from those of our competitors. The laws of some foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States, and effective intellectual property protection and mechanisms may be uncertain or unavailable in those jurisdictions. We may need to expend additional resources to defend our intellectual property in such countries, and the inability to do so could impair our business or adversely affect our international expansion. Particularly given the international nature of the Internet, the rate of growth of the Internet, and the ease of registering new domain names, we may not be able to detect unauthorized use of our intellectual property or take prompt enforcement action. Furthermore, the growing use of generative artificial intelligence presents an increased risk of unintentional and/or unauthorized disclosure or use of our intellectual property rights.

We endeavor to enter into agreements with our FlyMates, consultants and contractors and with parties with whom we do business in order to acquire intellectual property rights developed as a result of service to us, as well as to limit access to and disclosure of our proprietary information. No assurance can be given that our intellectual property related agreements with our FlyMates, consultants, contractors clients, their customers, or strategic partners and others will be effective in controlling access to and distribution of our solutions and proprietary information, potentially resulting in the unauthorized use or disclosure of our trade secrets and other intellectual property, including to our competitors, which could cause us to lose any competitive advantage resulting from this intellectual property. Further, these agreements do not prevent our competitors or partners from independently developing technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our solutions. In addition, individuals not subject to invention assignment agreements may make adverse ownership claims to our current and future intellectual property.

To protect our intellectual property rights, we may be required to spend significant resources to monitor, protect and defend these rights. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights and to protect our trade secrets. Such litigation could be costly, time consuming, and distracting to management and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property. Furthermore, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims, and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights. Our inability to protect our proprietary technology against unauthorized copying or use, as well as any costly litigation or diversion of our management’s attention and resources, could delay further sales or the implementation of our solutions, impair the functionality of our solutions, delay introductions of new features, integrations, and capabilities, result in our substituting inferior or more costly technologies into our solutions, or injure our reputation. In addition, we may be required to license additional technology from third parties to develop and market new features, integrations, and capabilities, and we cannot be certain that we could license that technology on commercially reasonable terms or at all, and our inability to license this technology could harm our ability to compete.

We may in the future be subject to intellectual property disputes, which are costly and may subject us to significant liability and increased costs of doing business.

We may in the future become subject to intellectual property disputes. Lawsuits are time-consuming and expensive to resolve and they divert management’s time and attention. We cannot predict the outcome of lawsuits and cannot assure you that the results of any such actions will not have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, or financial condition. During litigation, we may become subject to provisional rulings, including preliminary injunctions requiring us to cease some or all of our operations. We may decide to settle legal disputes on terms that are unfavorable to us. Furthermore, such disputes, even those without merit, may subject us to an unfavorable judgment that we may not choose to appeal or that may not be reversed upon appeal. In such a situation, we could be required to pay substantial damages or license fees to third party patent owners. In addition, we may also be required to modify, redesign, reengineer, or rebrand our solutions, or stop making, licensing, or providing solutions that incorporate the asserted intellectual property. Alternatively, we may enter into a license agreement to continue practices found to be in violation of a third party’s rights. If we are required, or choose to enter into, royalty or licensing arrangements, such arrangements may not be available on reasonable terms or at all. In addition, we may also be contractually obligated to indemnify our clients in the event of infringement of a third party’s intellectual property rights.

Our use of “open source” software could negatively affect our ability to offer and sell access to our solutions and subject us to possible litigation.

We use open source software in our solutions and expect to continue to use open source software in the future. There are uncertainties regarding the proper interpretation of and compliance with open source licenses, and there is a risk that such licenses could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to use such open source software, and consequently to provide or distribute our solutions. Although use of open source software has historically been free, several open source providers have begun to charge license fees for use of their software. If our current open source providers were to begin to charge for these licenses or increase their license fees significantly, this would increase our research and development costs and have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

Additionally, we may from time to time face claims from third parties claiming ownership of, or seeking to enforce the terms of, an open source license, including by demanding release of source code for the open source software, derivative works or our proprietary source code that was developed using, or that is distributed with, such open source software. These claims could also result in litigation and could require us to make our proprietary software source code freely available, require us to devote additional research and development resources to change our solutions or incur additional costs and expenses, any of which could result in reputational harm and would have a negative effect on our business and operating results. In addition, if the license terms for the open source software we utilize change, we may be forced to

reengineer our solutions or incur additional costs to comply with the changed license terms or to replace the affected open source software. Further, use of certain open source software can lead to greater risks than use of third-party commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide warranties or controls on the origin of software or indemnification for third party infringement claims. Although we have implemented policies to regulate the use and incorporation of open source software into our solutions, we cannot be certain that we have not incorporated open source software in our solutions in a manner that is inconsistent with such policies.

Indemnity and liability provisions in various agreements potentially expose us to substantial liability for intellectual property infringement, data protection, and other losses.

Our agreements with some of our technology partners and certain clients include indemnification provisions under which we agree to indemnify them for losses suffered or incurred as a result of claims of intellectual property infringement, data protection, damages caused by us to property or persons, or other liabilities relating to or arising from our solutions or other contractual obligations. Some of these indemnity agreements provide for uncapped liability and some indemnity provisions survive termination or expiration of the applicable agreement. Large indemnity payments could harm our business, operating results, and financial condition. We may incur substantial liability, and we may be required to cease use of certain functions of our solutions, as a result of intellectual property related claims. Any dispute with a client or technology partner with respect to these obligations could have adverse effects on our relationship with that client or technology partner and other existing or new clients or technology partners, and harm our business and operating results. In addition, although we carry insurance, our insurance may not be adequate to indemnify us for all liability that may be imposed, or otherwise protect us from liabilities or damages with respect to claims alleging compromises of client or clients' customer data, and any such coverage may not continue to be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

New or revised tax regulations, unfavorable resolution of tax contingencies or changes to enacted tax rates could adversely affect our tax expense.

As a multinational organization, we may be subject to taxation in several jurisdictions around the world with increasingly complex tax laws, the application, interpretation and enforcement of which can be uncertain. Changes in tax laws or their interpretations could result in changes to enacted tax rates and may require complex computations to be performed that were not previously required, significant judgments to be made in interpretation of the new or revised tax regulations and significant estimates in calculations, as well as the preparation and analysis of information not previously relevant or regularly produced. Future changes in enacted tax rates could negatively affect our results of operations.

For example, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 includes a minimum tax equal to fifteen percent of the adjusted financial statement income of certain corporations as well as a one percent excise tax on share buybacks, effective for tax years beginning in 2023. When effective, it is possible that the minimum tax could result in an additional tax liability over the regular federal corporate tax liability in a given year based on differences between book and taxable income (including as a result of temporary differences).

The vast majority of states have considered or adopted laws that impose tax collection obligations on out-of-state companies. States where we have nexus may require us to calculate, collect, and remit taxes on sales in their jurisdiction. Additionally, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. et al (Wayfair) that online sellers can be required to collect sales and use tax despite not having a physical presence in the buyer’s state. In response to Wayfair, or otherwise, states or local governments may enforce laws requiring us to calculate, collect, and remit taxes on sales in their jurisdictions. We may be obligated to collect and remit sales and use tax in states in which we have not collected and remitted sales and use tax. A successful assertion by one or more states requiring us to collect taxes where we historically have not or presently do not do so could result in substantial tax liabilities, including taxes on past sales, as well as penalties and interest. The imposition by state governments or local governments of sales tax collection obligations on out-of-state sellers could also create additional administrative burdens for us, put us at a perceived competitive disadvantage if they do not impose similar obligations on our competitors, and decrease our future sales, which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

Relevant foreign taxing authorities may disagree with our determinations as to whether we have established a taxable nexus, often referred to as a “permanent establishment”, or the income and expenses attributable to specific jurisdictions. In addition, these authorities may take aggressive tax recovery positions that the funds flows we process are subject to value added tax or goods and services tax. If disagreements with relevant taxing authorities on other unknown matters were to occur, and our position was not sustained, we could be required to pay additional taxes, interest and penalties, which could result in one-time tax charges, higher effective tax rates, reduced cash flows and lower overall profitability of our operations.

Our tax returns and positions are subject to review and audit by federal, state, local and international taxing authorities. An unfavorable outcome to a tax audit could result in higher tax expense, thereby negatively affecting our results of operations and cash flows. We have recognized estimated liabilities on the balance sheet for material known tax exposures relating to deductions, transactions and other matters involving some uncertainty as to the proper tax treatment of the item. These liabilities reflect what we believe to be reasonable assumptions as to the likely final resolution of each issue if raised by a taxing authority. While we believe that the liabilities are adequate to cover reasonably expected tax risks, there can be no assurance that, in all instances, an issue raised by a tax authority will be finally resolved at a financial amount no more than any related liability. An unfavorable resolution, therefore, could negatively affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in the current and/or future periods.

Our ability to use our net operating losses (NOLs) to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.

As of March 31,2025, we had U.S. federal NOL carryforwards of approximately $3.3 million and state NOL carryforwards of approximately $83.2 million. The federal and material state NOL carryforwards will begin to expire in 2030 and 2025, respectively. In general, under Sections 382 and 383 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Code), a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change NOLs and other tax attributes such as research tax credits to offset future taxable income. An “ownership change” pursuant to Section 382 of the Code generally occurs if one or more stockholders or groups of stockholders who own at least 5% of the company’s stock increase their ownership by more than 50 percentage points over their lowest ownership percentage within a rolling three-year period. Future changes in our stock ownership, many of which are outside of our control, could result in an ownership change under Sections 382 or 383 of the Code. Furthermore, our ability to utilize NOLs of companies that we may acquire in the future may be subject to limitations.

During 2022, the Company completed a Section 382 study and as a result of the ownership changes identified, $1.6 million of Flywire’s NOLs and $0.2 million of Simplee’s NOLs will expire unutilized, assuming sufficient taxable income is generated in the future. The Company completed its refresh of the Section 382 study as of June 30, 2024, and there was no additional limitations in using Federal and State NOL carryforwards. The Company is currently updating the Section 382 study as of December 31, 2024 and does not anticipate any additional limitation.

Risks Related to Being a Public Company

As a public company, we are obligated to develop and maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting, and if we fail to continue to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable laws and regulations could be impaired.

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Sarbanes-Oxley Act), the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank), the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Global Select Market (Nasdaq), and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time consuming, or costly, and increase demand on our systems and resources. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly, and current reports with respect to our business and operating results. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. It may requires significant resources and management oversight to maintain and, if necessary, improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to meet this standard. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could adversely affect our business and operating results. To comply with these requirements, we may need to hire more employees in the future or engage outside consultants, which would increase our costs and expenses.

As a "large accelerated" filer, we are required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (Section 404), to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures, are designed to prevent fraud. Any failure to maintain our internal controls, implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Ineffective internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.

This assessment includes disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting and our independent registered public accounting firm is required to issue an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We expect to incur significant expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404. Furthermore, we will also have to file a more expansive proxy statement and are subject to shorter filing deadlines, which will require additional time and expense as well.

An independent assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls could detect problems that our management’s assessment might not. Undetected material weaknesses in our internal controls could lead to financial statement restatements and require us to incur the expense of remediation. We are required to disclose changes made in our internal control and procedures on a quarterly basis. To comply with the requirements of being a public company, we have undertaken and expect to need to continue to undertake various actions, such as implementing new internal controls and procedures, hiring risk professionals, accounting and internal audit staff, and engaging outside consultants, which will increase our operating expenses.

We are actively engaged in the ongoing costly process of maintaining compliance with Section 404. We may not be able to complete our evaluation, testing, and any required remediation in a timely fashion. During the evaluation and testing process, if we identify material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we will be unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective.

If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control, including as a result of a material weakness, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline, and we may be subject to investigation or sanctions by the SEC. In addition, if we are unable to continue to meet these requirements, we may not be able to remain listed on Nasdaq.

Increased scrutiny from investors and others or changes in regulations regarding our environmental, social, governance, or sustainability responsibilities could result in additional costs or risks and adversely impact our reputation, employee retention, and willingness of partners, clients or our clients’ customers to do business with us.

Investor advocacy groups, certain institutional investors, investment funds, other market participants, stockholders, and consumer groups have focused increasingly on ESG or “sustainability” practices of companies. These parties have placed increased importance on the implications of the social cost of their investments. We have convened a cross-functional working group to further enhance our commitment to sustainability and ESG, and recognize the importance of communicating our progress on ESG to our stakeholders. As part of its responsibilities, our ESG working group is assessing opportunities for communicating progress on our priority initiatives. However, if our ESG practices do not meet (or are viewed as not meeting) investor or other industry stakeholder expectations and standards, which continue to evolve, our brand, reputation and employee retention may be negatively impacted, including based on an assessment of our ESG practices. Any sustainability report that we publish or sustainability disclosure we make may include our policies and practices on a variety of social and ethical matters, including corporate governance, community involvement, environmental compliance, employee health and safety practices, cybersecurity and privacy, human capital management, and workforce management. It is possible that stakeholders may not be satisfied with our ESG practices or the speed of their adoption. We could also incur additional costs and require additional resources to monitor, report, and comply with various ESG practices. Also, our failure, or perceived failure, to meet the standards included in any sustainability disclosure could negatively impact our reputation, employee retention, and the willingness of our partners, clients or our clients’ customers to do business with us.

In addition, increasing governmental interest in, and public awareness of, the impacts and effects of climate change and greater emphasis on sustainability by federal, state, and international governments could lead to further regulatory efforts to address the carbon impact of housing and travel. In particular, the current regulatory landscape regarding climate change (including disclosure requirements and requirements regarding energy and water use and efficiency), both within the United States and in many other locations where we operate worldwide, is evolving at a pace, and is likely to continue to develop in ways, that require our business to adapt. Many U.S. states, either individually or through multi-state regional initiatives, have adopted, or are considering adopting, rules that would require significantly expanded actions or disclosures on climate or other ESG-related matters from companies. Although several of these rules have been challenged and/or stayed, such rules, if implemented, may require us to incur significant additional costs to comply. Such rules are not uniform, and may not be interpreted or enforced uniformly, which can increase compliance costs or associated risks. Simultaneously, there are efforts by some stakeholders and policymakers to reduce companies’ efforts

on certain ESG-related matters. Both advocates and opponents to certain ESG matters are increasingly resorting to a range of activism forms, including media campaigns and litigation, to advance their perspectives. To the extent we are subject to such activism, it may require us to incur costs or otherwise adversely impact our business. This and other stakeholder expectations will likely lead to increased costs as well as scrutiny that could heighten all of the risks identified in this risk factor. Additionally, many of our customers, business partners, and suppliers may be subject to similar expectations or risks, which may augment or create additional risks or impacts on us, including in ways that may not be known to us. Any such matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The legislative landscape continues to be in a state of constant change as well as legal challenge with respect to these laws and regulations, making it difficult to predict with certainty the ultimate impact they will have on our business in the aggregate.

We will continue to incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to compliance with our public company responsibilities and corporate governance practices.

As a public company, we will continue to incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses as a result of operating as a public company, which increased during 2023 as a result of becoming a "large accelerated" filer. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Dodd-Frank, the listing requirements of the Nasdaq, and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various requirements on public companies. Our management and other personnel devote a substantial amount of time to compliance with these requirements and interacting with public company investors and securities analysts. These obligations and constituents require significant attention from our management team and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business, which could harm our business, operating results, and financial condition. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we will incur as a public company or the specific timing of such costs.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock

The price of our common stock may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price you paid for them.

An active or liquid market in our common stock may not be sustainable.

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

•

overall performance of the equity markets;

•

our operating performance and the performance of other similar companies;

•

delays in the roll out of new solutions;

•

changes in our projected operating results that we provide to the public, our failure to meet these projections or changes in recommendations by securities analysts that elect to follow our common stock;

•

regulatory actions with respect to our payment solutions;

•

regulatory or legal developments in the United States and other countries, including the priorities of the U.S. presidential administration and related changes in laws, regulations or policies;

•

the level of expenses related to our solutions;

•

announcements of acquisitions, strategic alliances or significant agreements by us or by our competitors;

•

developments or disputes concerning patent applications, issued patents or other intellectual property or proprietary rights;

•

recruitment or departure of key personnel;

•

the economy as a whole and market conditions in our industry;

•

political or social unrest, war or other military conflict, including an escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, or between Israel and Hamas (or other combatants in the region), respectively, economic instability, repression, or human rights issues;

•

variations in our financial results or the financial results of companies that are perceived to be similar to us;

•

financing or other corporate transactions, or inability to obtain additional funding;

•

cutbacks or withholding of funding to, and real or perceived hostility towards higher education institutions in the U.S.;

•

restrictions that negatively impact international travel, study or commerce, including actual or threatened revocation of visas, mass deportations, or delays in issuances of visas;

•

changes in the structure of payment systems;

•

actual or threatened imposition of tariffs, trade wars including the effects of ongoing United States-China and Canada-India diplomatic and trade friction;

•

trading activity by a limited number of stockholders who together beneficially own a majority of our outstanding common stock;

•

the size of our market float; and

•

any other factors discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other SEC filings.

In addition, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies.

Concerns over economic recession, heightened interest rates and inflation, supply chain delays and disruptions, priorities of the U.S. presidential administration and Congress and related changes in laws, regulations or policies, trade wars, unemployment, or prolonged government shutdown may contribute to increased volatility and diminished expectations for the economy and markets. Additionally, concern over geopolitical issues may also contribute to prolonged market volatility and instability. For example, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine could lead to disruption, instability and volatility in global markets and industries. The U.S. government and other governments in jurisdictions have imposed severe economic sanctions and export controls against Russia and Russian interests, have removed Russia from the SWIFT system, and have threatened additional sanctions and controls. The full impact of these measures, as well as potential responses to them by Russia, is unknown.

Our business and operations could be negatively affected by securities litigation or stockholder activism.

From time to time, we may be subject to securities class actions, derivative suits or other securities-related legal actions.

In the past, securities class action litigation have often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of its securities. In addition, stockholder activism, which could take many forms and arise in a variety of situations, has been increasing recently, and new universal proxy rules could significantly lower the cost and further increase the ease and likelihood of stockholder activism. This risk is especially relevant for us because technology companies have experienced significant stock price volatility in recent years. Volatility in our stock price or other reasons may in the future cause us to become the target of securities litigation or stockholder activism. Securities litigation and stockholder activism, including potential proxy contests, could result in substantial costs, including significant legal fees and other expenses, and divert our management and board of directors’ attention and resources from our business. Additionally, securities litigation and stockholder activism could give rise to perceived uncertainties as to our future, adversely affect our relationships with clients and business partners, adversely affect our reputation, and make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel. Our stock price could also be subject to significant fluctuation or otherwise be adversely affected by the events, risks and uncertainties of any securities litigation and stockholder activism.

Any claims or litigation, even if fully indemnified or insured, could adversely affect our relationships with clients and business partners, damage our reputation, decrease client or their customers’ demand for our solutions and make it more

difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel, making it more difficult for us to compete effectively. In addition, lawsuits or legal claims involving us may increase our insurance premiums, deductibles or co-insurance requirements or otherwise make it more difficult for us to maintain or obtain adequate insurance coverage on acceptable terms, if at all. Furthermore, while we maintain insurance for certain potential liabilities, such insurance does not cover all types and amounts of potential liabilities and is subject to various exclusions, as well as caps on amounts recoverable. Even if we believe that a claim is covered by insurance, insurers may dispute our entitlement to recovery for a variety of potential reasons, which may affect the timing and, if the insurers prevail, the amount of our recovery. Our exposure under these matters may also include our indemnification obligations, to the extent that we have any, to current and former officers and directors against losses incurred in connection with these matters, including reimbursement of legal fees and other expenses.

As a result, lawsuits involving us, or our officers or directors, could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and the trading price of our common stock.

Raising additional capital may cause dilution to our existing stockholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights to our intellectual property on unfavorable terms to us.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenue, we may finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, government or private party grants, debt financings and strategic partnership agreements. We may seek additional capital through a variety of means, including through strategic partnership arrangements, public or private equity or debt financings, third-party funding and marketing and distribution arrangements, as well as other strategic alliances and licensing arrangements or any combination of these approaches. However, disruptions in the capital markets, particularly with respect to financial technology companies, could make any financing more challenging, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise capital on commercially reasonable terms or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms may include liquidation preferences or other rights, powers or preferences that may adversely affect your rights as a stockholder. To the extent that debt financing is available, and we choose to raise additional capital in the form of debt, such debt financing may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take certain actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional capital pursuant to collaborations, licensing arrangements or other strategic partnerships, such agreements may require us to relinquish rights to our technologies.

If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing or through collaborations or strategic partnerships when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate the development of our solutions or commercialization efforts.

We may allocate our cash and cash equivalents in ways that you and other stockholders may not approve.

Our management has broad discretion in the application of our cash and cash equivalents. Because of the number and variability of factors that determine our use of our cash and cash equivalents, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. Our management might not apply cash and cash equivalents in ways that ultimately increase the value of your investment. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may invest our cash and cash equivalents in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders. If we do not invest or apply our cash and cash equivalents in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which could cause our stock price to decline.

We cannot guarantee that our repurchase program will be fully implemented or that it will enhance stockholder value, and share repurchases could affect the price of our common stock.

In August 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program, or the Repurchase Program, pursuant to which we may, from time to time, purchase shares of our Voting and Non-voting common stock for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $150 million. As of March 31, 2025 approximately $57.0 million remained available for repurchases under the Repurchase Program. Repurchases under the Repurchase Program may be made through a variety of methods and are subject to market and business conditions, levels of available liquidity, cash requirements for other purposes, regulatory, and other relevant factors. The timing, pricing, and size of share repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, and general market and economic conditions. The Repurchase Program does not obligate us to repurchase any minimum dollar amount or number of shares, and may be suspended or discontinued by our Board of Directors at any time, which may result in a decrease in the price of our common stock.

Repurchases under the Repurchase Program will decrease the number of outstanding shares of our common stock and therefore could affect the price of our common stock and increase its volatility. The existence of the Repurchase Program could also cause the price of our common stock to be higher than it would be in the absence of such a program and could reduce the market liquidity for our common stock. Repurchases under the Repurchase Program will diminish our cash reserves, which could impact our ability to further develop our business and service our indebtedness. There can be no assurance that any share repurchases will enhance stockholder value because the market price of our common stock may decline below the levels at which we repurchased such shares. Any failure to repurchase shares after we have announced our intention to do so may negatively impact our reputation and investor confidence in us and may negatively impact our common stock price. Although the Repurchase Program is intended to enhance long-term stockholder value, short-term price fluctuations could reduce the program’s effectiveness.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock depends in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If industry analysts cease coverage of us, the trading price for our common stock would be negatively affected. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our common stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our common stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our common stock could decrease, which might cause our common stock price and trading volume to decline.

Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public markets could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

The price of our common stock could decline if there are substantial sales of our common stock, particularly sales by our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders, or if there is a large number of shares of our common stock available for sale and the market perceives that sales will occur. We had a total of 120,204,647 shares of our voting common stock and 1,873,320 shares of our non-voting common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2025. Other than shares held by directors, executive officers and other affiliates that are subject to volume limitations under Rule 144 under the Securities Act and various vesting agreements, these shares of common stock generally are freely tradable without restrictions or further registration under the Securities Act.

Certain of our stockholders will have rights, subject to some conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering their shares or to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or our stockholders, subject to market standoff and lock-up agreements. We registered shares of common stock that we have issued and may issue under our equity incentive plans. These shares will be able to be sold freely in the public market upon issuance, subject to securities laws.

The market price of the shares of our common stock could decline as a result of the sale of a substantial number of our shares of common stock in the public market or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell their shares.

The concentration of our stock ownership will likely limit your ability to influence corporate matters, including the ability to influence the outcome of director elections and other matters requiring stockholder approval.

As of December 31, 2024, our current executive officers, directors and the holders of more than 5% of our outstanding voting and non-voting common stock, in the aggregate, beneficially owned a significant percentage of our outstanding voting and non-voting common stock. As a result, these stockholders, acting together, will have significant influence over all matters that require approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. Corporate actions might be taken even if other stockholders oppose them. This concentration of ownership might also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our company that other stockholders may view as beneficial.

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock, consequently, your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our common stock and do not currently intend to do so for the foreseeable future. We currently anticipate that we will retain all available funds and any future earnings for reinvestment to fund the development, operation, expansion and growth of our business and to fund our Repurchase Program and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. In addition, our senior secured revolving

credit syndication loan currently prohibits us from paying dividends on our equity securities, and any future debt financing arrangement may contain terms prohibiting or limiting the amount of dividends that may be declared or paid on our common stock. Any return to stockholders will therefore be limited to the appreciation of their stock. Therefore, the success of an investment in shares of our common stock will depend upon any future appreciation in their value. There is no guarantee that shares of our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which our stockholders have purchased their shares.

Delaware law and provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws could make a merger, tender offer or proxy contest difficult, thereby depressing the trading price of our common stock.

Our status as a Delaware corporation and the anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL) may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control by prohibiting us from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the person becomes an interested stockholder, even if a change of control would be beneficial to our existing stockholders. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain provisions that may make the acquisition of our company more difficult, including the following:

•

a classified board of directors with three-year staggered terms, which could delay the ability of stockholders to change the membership of a majority of our board of directors;

•

the ability of our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquiror;

•

the exclusive right of our board of directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of our board of directors or the resignation, death or removal of a director, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our board of directors;

•

a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders;

•

the requirement that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by a majority vote of our entire board of directors, the chairman of our board of directors or our chief executive officer, which could delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors;

•

the requirement for the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the voting stock, voting together as a single class, to amend the provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws, which may inhibit the ability of an acquiror to effect such amendments to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt; and

•

advance notice procedures with which stockholders must comply to nominate candidates to our board of directors or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which may discourage or deter a potential acquiror from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquiror’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.

In addition, as a Delaware corporation, we are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. These provisions may prohibit large stockholders, in particular those owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock, from merging or combining with us for a certain period of time. A Delaware corporation may opt out of this provision by express provision in its original certificate of incorporation or by amendment to its certificate of incorporation or bylaws approved by its stockholders. However, we have not opted out of this provision.

These and other provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and Delaware law could make it more difficult for stockholders or potential acquirors to obtain control of our board of directors or initiate actions that are opposed by our then-current board of directors, including delay or impede a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving our company. The existence of these provisions could negatively affect the price of our common stock and limit opportunities for you to realize value in a corporate transaction.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or FlyMates.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty, any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws or any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. This provision would not apply to claims brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides further that the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. These choices of forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other FlyMates and may discourage these types of lawsuits. Furthermore, the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable. While the Delaware courts have determined that such choice of forum provisions are facially valid, a stockholder may nevertheless seek to bring a claim in a venue other than those designated in the exclusive-forum provisions, and there can be no assurance that such provisions will be enforced by a court in those other jurisdictions. If a court were to find the exclusive-forum provision contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Recent Sales of Unregistered Equity Securities

During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, we issued an aggregate of 41,998 shares of common stock (the Shares) as a stock-based compensation associated with the retention of a key employee of StudyLink. The key employee was not a “U.S. person”, as defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S under the Securities Act, and the issuance was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Regulation S. The certificates evidencing the Shares are endorsed with a restrictive Securities Act legend.

(1) All shares were repurchased in open market transactions pursuant to a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $150 million of our outstanding voting and non-voting common stock for an indefinite period (the Repurchase Program). The Repurchase Program was authorized by our board of directors and publicly announced on August 6, 2024. Repurchases under the Repurchase Program may be made from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions, including Rule 10b-18. For additional information on our Repurchase Program, see Note 13 - Stockholders’ Equity in our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

(2) Average price paid per share includes related commissions, but excludes the 1% excise tax accrued on our share repurchases as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

Item 5. Other Information

Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans

During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other than as set forth below, no director or officer of the Company “adopted” or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

On March 12, 2025, Phillip Riese, Chair of our Board of Directors, adopted a trading arrangement for the sale of shares of our common stock (a "Rule 10b-5 Trading Plan") that is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Securities Exchange Act Rule 10b5-1(c). Mr. Riese’s Rule 10b-5 Trading Plan provides for the sale of up to 60,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the terms of the plan. The plan is effective through June 5, 2026 unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the plan.
