In addition, regulatory reform may in some instances reduce barriers to entry. For example, on May 19, 2026, in the U.S. President Trump signed an executive order titled "Integrating Financial Technology Innovation into Regulatory Frameworks" (the Order) to direct federal financial regulators to reduce barriers to entry for fintech firms and facilitate partnerships between fintech firms and federally regulated financial institutions. The Order is aimed at reducing barriers to entry and encouraging collaboration between fintech firms and traditional financial institutions. The Order defines "fintech firm" to include any non-bank company that uses or develops technology to offer or support financial products or services, including payment processing, digital asset services, and blockchain-based services. The Order also requests the Federal Reserve Board to evaluate expanding fintech access to Reserve Bank payment accounts and services. Management will continue to track Order implementation efforts and any impact on the competitive environment in which the company operates.

Most of these changes went into effect July 1, 2026. As the OBBBA provisions took effect during the reporting period, it is too early to fully assess the impact on our business; however, management is actively monitoring institutional adaptation to these regulatory updates and early indications suggest that the changes may constrain the availability of federal student loan funding and could impact U.S. student enrollment in undergraduate and postgraduate programs, which could materially and adversely affect our revenue and results of operations.

Our operational and systems transformation program may not be successful.
Current report
Our operational and systems transformation initiative involves a multi-year roadmap with accelerated focus and planned "go lives" over its first 18-months aimed at rebuilding our foundational enterprise operating systems, consolidating disparate software applications, establishing a certified data architecture, and deploying enterprise-wide agentic artificial intelligence workflows. Because this initiative involves a highly complex, multi-dimensional modification of our people, processes, governance, and technology, it is subject to substantial execution risks. Inadequate or defective implementation of core enterprise software platforms, and shortcomings in the consolidation and/or integration of disparate software applications (and in certain instances replacing legacy applications with new ones) could result in significant project delays, systemic operational disruptions, or total project failure. In addition, we may have challenges implementing these replacement systems and driving efficient and effective adoption and use within our employee base, which can create lapses in productivity and magnify the potential for human error. Furthermore, if our data architecture fails to enforce proper data governance and data contracts, or if there are material errors or discrepancies in data conversion and migration cycles, our upstream business metrics will be compromised. This could lead to a systemic failure to achieve our target "Single Source of Truth," which would severely undermine the performance, reliability, and security of our downstream models and automated forecasting tools.
Current report
The vast operational scope of the transformation program demands a significant commitment of internal subject matter experts and has resulted in a substantial focus of management and engineering resources away from day-to-day operations and business-as-usual strategic goals. By aligning our core innovation strategies so heavily with specific strategic partners, and centering our digital infrastructure around select technical ecosystems, we face considerable opportunity costs and reliance on third-party vendors to deliver timely on architected solutions. These dependencies could cause us to lose valuable opportunities to spend capital on, or develop, alternative or superior technologies that may emerge in the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence and data management markets. If our management team is unable to successfully balance these competing operational demands, our core product timelines, client relationship management activities, and global payment network support capabilities may suffer, which could materially and adversely affect our competitive positioning, financial health, and overall growth trajectory.
Current report
Financially, the transformation program requires a substantial financial commitment, including initial capital expenditure alongside millions of dollars in incremental recurring software-as-a-service (SaaS) licensing fees and ongoing platform investments. Despite our efforts to maintain rigid budget discipline, we face the distinct possibility of significant cost overruns due to unforeseen engineering complexities, integration bottlenecks across disparate third-party systems, regional talent constraints, evolving global regulatory standards, or extended vendor deployment timelines. The ultimate commercial success and return on investment of the transformation program are deeply contingent upon our ability to capture significant long-term operational savings and drive aggressive structural productivity gains. If we experience implementation delays, high personnel attrition within our newly reorganized data and systems squads, or an inability to successfully transition historical manual and spreadsheet-based workflows into automated processes, our anticipated cost structure improvements will fail to materialize. Under such circumstances, we may never achieve our projected break-even targets, which would result in material asset impairments and severely harm our operating margins and net income.

The U.K.’s Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 overhauled the U.K. data governance framework by establishing Digital Verification Services standards, creating "Smart Data" sharing schemes, and updating U.K. GDPR rules to streamline automated decision-making and subject access requests. In certain respects, these regulatory changes ease administrative data burdens and facilitate digitized identity verification across our U.K. education and healthcare client networks, while requiring updates to customer complaint handling timelines and data privacy compliance workflows.

We were incorporated in 2009 and although we have only generated net income for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025, we have incurred net losses in the past, and may incur net losses in the future. We generated net income of $13.5 million and $2.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and generated net loss of $8.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively, and net income of $12.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and a net loss of $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. In addition, as of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $144.9 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 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 sustain profitability, the value of our business and common stock may significantly decrease.

In February 2025, we announced a restructuring plan 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 implemented a reduction in force. 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, the loss of institutional knowledge and expertise, 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 implemented, and any other future reductions, 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.

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, 2026, as the U.S. Dollar weakened against several currencies, including the British Pound, relative to the prior year, these foreign exchange impacts increased our reported revenue in U.S. Dollars by approximately $7.4 million compared to the prior year on a FX Neutral basis.

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. In November 2025, the IRCC announced that it expects to issue up to 408,000 study permits, including 155,000 to newly arriving international students, as outlined in the 2026–2028 Immigration Levels Plan, and 253,000 extensions for current and returning students. This number is 7% lower than the 2025 issuance target of 437,000 and 16% lower than the 2024 issuance target of 485,000. As of January 1, 2026, master’s and doctoral level students enrolled at a public designated learning institution in Canada will not need to submit a provincial or territorial attestation letter with their study permit application. 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 for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

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. In August 2025, the Australian government announced the setting of a national planning level to apply a ceiling of 295,000 international students for 2026. 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 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and we anticipate will continue to impact our Australian revenues in 2026.

Flywire could experience reduced transaction volumes and delayed payment flows from its Australian clients’ Indian student corridors due to slower visa processing times, increased application friction, and potential declines in enrollment. These factors could adversely affect our revenue growth in the Asia-Pacific education vertical and increase operational complexity associated with refunds, deferred intakes, and compliance-related payment adjustments.

These factors could adversely affect our revenue growth in the Asia-Pacific education vertical and increase operational complexity associated with refunds, deferred intakes, and compliance-related payment adjustments. In addition, effective July 1, 2026, the Australian Government increased the non-refundable Student Visa (Subclass 500) application charge by 25%, raising the fee for primary applicants from AUD 2,000 to AUD 2,500. Higher upfront visa costs and potential application friction could temper total inbound international student enrollment growth in Australia, which may impact Flywire’s Australian education vertical.

In the U.K. as well, there have recently been significant modifications to the process and standards for issuance of international student visas which may reduce demand for international study and adversely affect our business. In November 2025, the U.K. budget confirmed that a levy of £925 per student per year of study will commence from August 2028, at the start of the 2028/29 academic year, for higher education institutions in England. All providers will be given an allowance of the first 220 international students per year not paying the levy, which may protect smaller, specialist providers from paying the charge. Of potentially more significance is the reduction of the U.K.’s Graduate Route post-study-work-visa from 24 to 18 months as taking effect for visa applications made after January 1, 2027. The change applies to bachelor’s and master’s degrees, and not to PhDs (which retain a 3-year option). All of these changes in UK visa policies for international students could potentially discourage international students from studying in the U.K. and have an adverse impact on our business.

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. For example, the U.S. government’s recent announcement to impose a $100,000 filing fee per new H-1B visa could adversely impact demand for international students to attend our client institutions in the U.S. The new H-1B visa fee does not apply to international students already in the U.S. looking to apply for a status change. In addition, in 2025 U.S. policy shifts 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 – which could be exacerbated by the recent U.S. government shutdown – may discourage prospective international students from choosing U.S. institutions as places for study. Recent proposals in Congress to tighten visa stay rules and to implement the “OPT Fair Tax Act” could further dampen demand among international students to study in the U.S. 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 can also dampen demands for international study.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s final ruling replacing the open-ended "duration of status" for F-1 visa holders with a fixed maximum admission period of four years also creates added administrative burdens and potential visa uncertainty for international students studying in the U.S. and near-term immigration friction could temper growth in overall U.S. inbound international student enrollment, which may adversely impact our revenue and results of operations.

In addition, in the U.S., the “One Big Beautiful Bill” contains a number of provisions with the potential to significantly change the landscape for financing undergraduate and graduate study and which could adversely affect the demand for higher education in the U.S. The One Big Beautiful Bill limits Pell Grant awards (which provide gift aid to low-income students), eliminates the Grad PLUS program, and sets new limits for graduate and professional students for Direct Unsubsidized Loans. The new bill also caps parent loans to finance undergraduate education, and changes student loan repayment options, among other modifications. Most of these changes do not go into effect until July 1, 2026. The bill may impact U.S. student enrollment in undergraduate and postgraduate programs and could materially and adversely affect our revenue and results of operations.

Events like regional or larger scale conflicts, war or other military conflict, including the recent conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, Israel and Hamas, and the U.S. and Israeli military conflict with Iran, terrorist attacks, mass shooting incidents, natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, closures, or geographical disruptions of critical natural resources, supply chains, 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. Heightened conflict between the U.S. and Iran, and the resulting volatility in energy prices and regional security, may cause significant shifts in global travel patterns and consumer confidence. Any such disruptions could result in the cancellation or deferral of travel bookings among our travel vertical clients, leading to an elevated risk of uncollectible chargebacks and a reduction in our total payment volume. 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.

Events like regional or larger scale conflicts, war or other military conflict, including the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, the conflict between Israel and Hamas, and the U.S. and Israeli military conflict with Iran, terrorist attacks, mass shooting incidents, natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, closures, or geographical disruptions of critical natural resources, supply chains, fires, droughts, floods and volcanic activity, including events resulting from climate change, and travel-related health events, pandemics or other public health emergencies, 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. Heightened conflict between the U.S. and Iran, and the resulting volatility in energy prices and regional security, may cause significant shifts in global travel patterns and consumer confidence. Any such disruptions could result in the cancellation or deferral of travel bookings among our travel vertical clients, leading to an elevated risk of uncollectible chargebacks and a reduction in our total payment volume. 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.

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we processed over $37.6 billion and over $29.7 billion in payments on our solutions, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we processed approximately $11.4 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. Payments companies are frequent targets of social engineering and AI "deepfake" attacks. 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.

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.

To enable our clients to offer stablecoin payment options, we partner with a third-party digital asset service provider (the "Digital Asset Partner"). Under this arrangement, the Digital Asset Partner receives the stablecoins directly from the client's customer, converts the digital assets into fiat currency, and settles the fiat currency to us for payout to our client. We do not buy, sell, receive, transmit, custody, hold, issue, or exchange digital assets. However, we are highly dependent on the operational and financial stability of our Digital Asset Partner. If our Digital Asset Partner experiences system outages, cybersecurity breaches, insolvency, or loss of its regulatory authorizations or banking relationships, the conversion and settlement of funds could be delayed or frozen (temporarily or permanently).

The stablecoins utilized in our payment flows may be subject to "de-pegging" events and market volatility and are not protected by deposit insurance. Although stablecoins are designed to maintain a stable value while being pegged to fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar, the stability and reliability of stablecoins are not guaranteed and depend on various factors beyond our control, including the financial health of the issuing entity, the adequacy and liquidity of reserve assets, and the effectiveness of the underlying stabilization mechanisms. A stablecoin that our Digital Asset Partner handles may experience a significant devaluation or “de-pegging” event (“De-pegging Event”), where its market value drops materially below its intended fiat value peg due to algorithmic failures, lack of adequate reserve assets, or panic selling. If a De-pegging Event occurs during the window between a payer initiating a checkout and our Digital Asset Partner executing the conversion from stablecoin to fiat, it could result in a shortfall of fiat funds delivered to us, causing us to incur losses. A De-pegging Event could also cause disruptions in transaction processing and may cause our clients or our client's customers to lose confidence in us. All of these things could negatively impact our financial condition, operations, and reputation. Moreover, stablecoins are not subject to any deposit insurance protection scheme, and the presence of fiat currency reserves is not a guarantee for redemption. There is a possibility that the assets that stablecoin issuers hold in reserves are not sufficient or may not be available for redemption at times of extremely high demand. Volatility spikes in the cryptocurrency markets also might lead to De-pegging Events.

government announced its plans to require employers pay a $100,000 filing fee per H-1B visa petition to bring new H-1B workers into the U.S. The new H-1B visa fee does not apply to international students already in the U.S. looking to apply for a status change, but this new requirement significantly increases the cost of employing new nationals in the U.S and could materially impact our operating expenses and our ability to attract specialized talent. If these visa-related costs remain in effect or increase further, we may be required to reduce our reliance on new H-1B visa holders or absorb materially higher personnel costs, either of which could negatively affect our financial performance. In addition, the number of H-1B visas available each year is limited by quota and lottery, and future changes in immigration laws or enforcement could further restrict our access to qualified foreign workers. Our inability to recruit or retain critical technical and operational talent—whether due to higher visa costs, policy changes, or processing delays—could hinder our ability to innovate, maintain our technology infrastructure, or expand internationally.

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, or the ongoing conflict between the U.S., Iran and Israel in the Middle East or the failure of an agreed-upon peace in the conflict between Israel and Hamas to become permanent), 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.

Recent changes to card payment regulation announced by the Reserve Bank of Australia may also adversely affect our emerging business in Australia, operating results, and financial condition. In particular, the elimination of merchant surcharging on certain card networks beginning in October 2026, may increase the cost of card acceptance for merchants that use our platform and reduce the economics associated with domestic cross-border payment transactions processed in Australia. These changes would require select merchants to begin absorbing card-related costs, which are partially mitigated by new domestic interchange fee caps. These changes may compress margins on certain domestic payment flows or reduce the attractiveness of card-based payment methods relative to alternative payment options, and require us to modify our pricing, routing, or product strategies. In addition, these regulatory developments may prompt issuers, networks, or other market participants to adjust their fee structures, incentives, or processing practices in ways that could further impact transaction volumes or revenue derived from Australian payment activity. Any of these effects, individually or in the aggregate, could adversely impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.

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.

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.

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.

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.

As of March 31, 2026, we had U.S. federal NOL carryforwards of approximately $0.1 million and state NOL carryforwards of approximately $75.9 million. The federal and material state NOL carryforwards will both begin to expire in 2031. Ownership changes, as defined under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar state provisions, may limit the amount of federal and state NOL and credit carryforwards that can be utilized annually to offset future federal and state taxable income and tax. Generally, an ownership change occurs when the ownership percentage of 5% or greater stockholders increases by more than 50% over a three-year period. Accordingly, the purchase of our stock in amounts greater than specified levels could limit our ability to utilize federal and state NOL and credit carryforwards for tax purposes.

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 July 2025, we and certain of our current and former officers were named as defendants in a securities class action complaint captioned Hickman v. Flywire Corporation filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York on behalf of a putative class of investors who purchased Flywire securities from February 28, 2024, through February 25, 2025. In January 2026, the complaint was amended to, among other matters, remove a former officer from the claim and modify the class period to the time period between May 21, 2024 through February 25, 2025. Plaintiff alleges that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act by purportedly overstating the strength and sustainability of our revenue growth and understating the negative impact of certain government permit and visa related policies on the business. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, and other relief. We believe we have strong defenses against the asserted claims and intend to vigorously defend ourselves. 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.

Previous wording
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 under the Repurchase Program, including the ASR program, will depend on a number of factors, including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital allocation alternatives, and general market and economic conditions. The Repurchase Program, including the ASR 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.
