Current report
As of December 31, 2025, the Expensify Card substantially consisted of a single card program that launched in February 2024 (the “Updated Card Program”).

(“Bancorp”), to issue Expensify Cards to customers and authorize and settle transactions on the Visa card network.

Current report
Under the Updated Card Program, we receive consideration from a vendor for certain volume-based incentives from Visa, which are included as a reduction to Cost of revenue, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as they are earned. The amounts earned under these volume-based incentives were $1.5 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Current report
General and administrative expenses increased $3.7 million, or 10%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to (i) the estimated liability, net of the Company's expected insurance recoveries, related to the Putative Class Action discussed under Part I, Item 3 “Legal Proceedings” and the related increase in legal fees, and (ii) an increase in settlement losses, net of recoveries. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in business insurance costs.
Current report
Sales and marketing expenses increased $13.9 million, or 109%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to (i) an increase in advertising spend related to our title sponsorship of F1® The Movie, which was released in theaters in June 2025, and (ii) an increase in time spent on sales and marketing activities.

Current report
Letter of Credit Security Agreement
Current report
On October 9, 2025, we entered into a Letter of Credit Facility and Security Agreement (the “LOC Security Agreement”) with CIBC. The LOC Security Agreement, among other things, provides for the issuance of additional irrevocable standby letters of credit, governs the terms of the outstanding Letter of Credit originally issued under the 2024 Amended Loan and Security Agreement, and grants to CIBC, for the ratable benefit of the lenders, a security interest in substantially all of our assets and its subsidiaries, and also replaces the 2024 Amended Loan and Security Agreement with respect to the Contingent Obligations described above. Under the LOC Security Agreement, the Letter of Credit remained at $7.5 million with an expiration date of March 20, 2026. No amounts had been drawn on the Letter of Credit as of December 31, 2025.

All new Expensify Cards issued subsequent to the launch of the Updated Card Program operate under that program. As of December 31, 2024, our transition of cardholders from the Legacy Card Program to the Updated Card Program was substantially complete.

EMPLOYEE AND EMPLOYEE-RELATED EXPENSES
Previous report
Allocating our employee and employee-related expenses, which consist of contractor costs, employee salary and wages, stock-based compensation and travel and other employee-related costs, to their appropriate financial statement line items on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, requires us to make estimates and judgments as a result of our generalist model and organizational structure. We base our estimates for allocating employee and employee related expenses on our internal productivity and team management tools. Management reviews the estimates each reporting period to evaluate the amounts allocated to Cost of revenue, net, Research and development, General and administrative, and Sales and marketing on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We monetize transactions from the Expensify Card by receiving a percentage of the interchange for all spend on the card.

Our viral and word-of-mouth adoption model is effective in part because we have established ourselves as a recognized leader in expense management for SMBs. We deploy large scale brand advertising to promote our platform strength and create market consensus that Expensify is a category leader for expense management software. Additionally, in 2023 we hosted our third ExpensiCon, an invite-only, all-expenses paid industry conference, with the goal of increasing our market consensus among our Approved! Accounting partners and increasing adoption of our platform. We believe investing in market consensus enables us to focus on creating great viral features for our members rather than relying on low-margin, unscalable activities of traditional sales and marketing to drive customer acquisition. In 2024 we invested in a promotional marketing opportunity to have Expensify heavily featured in Apple's biggest budget film, F1, which is scheduled to be released in theaters on June 27, 2025. Our goal is that this will increase our brand awareness and support our bottom-up, word of mouth marketing.

Gross logo retention and net seat retention are important indicators of customer satisfaction and usage of our platform. We calculate our gross logo retention rate as of the end of a period by using (a) the number of distinct companies who have ever had five or more paid members paying for a subscription during the period ending one year prior as the denominator and (b) the number of those same companies that are still paying for at least one subscription during the more recent period as the numerator. In 2024 and 2023, our annual gross logo retention was 81% and 74%, respectively. We calculate our net seat retention rate as of the end of a period by using (a) the number of paid member seats from companies who have ever had five or more paid members paying for a subscription during the period ending one year prior as the denominator and (b) the number of paid member seats at those same companies during the more recent period as the numerator. In 2024 and 2023, our net seat retention was 86% and 99%, respectively. Our growth will depend on our ability to retain existing customers.

We fully launched the Expensify Card in 2020 and we intend to actively promote the Expensify Card to both new and existing customers to drive increased adoption. In 2024, we launched our travel platform, Expensify Travel, as a natural extension of our expense management product. Many companies look for combined travel and expenses solutions in order to streamline the booking to reimbursement flow. Outside of the Expensify Card and Expensify Travel, we have invested, and will continue to invest, in developing features complementary and adjacent to expense management. At most companies, not every employee generates expenses that would be submitted via an expense report on a monthly basis. As we add additional features that are used by all employers, we have the potential to monetize the segment of our customers’ employees that are not submitting expense reports.

Our contracts with our customers include two performance obligations: access to the hosted software service, inclusive of all features available within the platform, and the related customer support.

We satisfy our performance obligation over time each month as we provide platform access and support services to customers and as such recognize revenue over time. We recognize revenue net of applicable taxes imposed on the related transaction.

Consideration from a vendor is related to the Expensify Card under the Legacy Card Program, where we use a third-party vendor to issue Expensify Cards and process the related transactions. The vendor is contractually entitled to the interchange through its relationships with the card network and card issuing bank. The vendor keeps a portion of the interchange for their services, and our agreement with the vendor results in us receiving the remainder of the interchange (our remainder portion, "Expensify interchange amount"). The vendor also charges us fees ("vendor fees") for the services it provides to us. Due to the nature of the vendor agreement, we do not record the Expensify interchange amount as revenue under the Legacy Card Program. Instead, the net of the Expensify interchange amount and vendor fees are paid to us, which we record as "Consideration from a vendor, net," a contra expense in Cost of revenue, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following summarizes these various amounts for each of the periods presented:

We recorded a provision for income taxes of $7.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to a $3.0 million provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2023.
