remitly-horizontalxblue.jpg

Send volume up 25% and revenue up 22% year over year

Net income of $67.6 million up 665% year over year

Adjusted EBITDA of $120.8 million up 97% year over year

Board of directors increases share repurchase authorization from $200 million to $500 million SEATTLE, WA / November 4, 2026 / GlobeNewswire / - Remitly Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: RELY), a trusted provider of financial services that transcend borders, reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.

“We delivered another excellent quarter, with record revenue and a more than seven-fold year over year increase in net income,” said Sebastian Gunningham, Chief Executive Officer. “These results show the expanding value of our global network, which has connected the financial lives of more than 50 million senders and recipients over the past year. We’re evolving from a remittance company into a global financial services provider for people and businesses whose money crosses borders. We are shipping new features and products faster than ever, and the productivity tailwinds from AI give us the capacity to invest and capture share in the large and diverse global money movement market.”

Share Repurchase Program

Remitly announced today that its board of directors has approved an increase in the aggregate authorization of its share repurchase program by $300 million, from $200 million to $500 million. The share repurchase program does not expire and may be suspended, discontinued, or modified at any time without notice at Remitly’s discretion. The share repurchase program does not obligate Remitly to acquire any amount of common stock.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

A reconciliation of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) to non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this earnings release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” We have not provided a quantitative reconciliation of forecasted Adjusted EBITDA to forecasted GAAP net income or to forecasted GAAP income before income taxes within this earnings release because we cannot, without unreasonable effort, calculate certain reconciling items with confidence due to the variability, complexity, and limited visibility of the adjusting items that would be excluded from forecasted Adjusted EBITDA. These items include, but are not limited to, income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, and payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation expense, which are directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuations in the market price of our common stock. The variability of these items could have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Note: All percentage changes described within this press release are calculated using amounts in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), for which revenue and active customers are presented in thousands and send volume is presented in millions. Rounding differences may occur when individually calculating percentages or totals from rounded amounts included within the press release body as compared to the amounts included within the Company’s SEC filings.

Webcast Information

Remitly will host a webcast at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, to discuss its third quarter 2026 financial results. The live webcast and investor presentation will be accessible on Remitly’s website at https://ir.remitly.com. A webcast replay will be available on our website at https://ir.remitly.com following the live event.

We have used, and intend to continue to use, the Investor Relations section of our website at https://ir.remitly.com as a means of disclosing material nonpublic information and for complying with our disclosure obligations under Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the financial information and data contained in this earnings release, such as Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP operating expenses, transaction margin dollars, transaction margin, and free cash flow, have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We regularly review our key business metrics and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our performance, identify trends affecting our business, prepare financial projections, and make strategic decisions. We believe that these key business metrics and non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information for management and investors in assessing our historical and future operating performance. Specifically, the company believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of its recurring core operating results and business outlook.

Our non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Because of the limitations of non-GAAP financial measures, you should consider the non-GAAP financial measures presented herein in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes thereto. Please refer to the non-GAAP reconciliations in this press release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted by (i) interest (income) expense, net; (ii) (benefit from) provision for income taxes; (iii) noncash charges of depreciation and amortization; (iv) other (income) expense, net; (v) noncash charges associated with our donation of common stock in connection with our Pledge 1% commitment; (vi) noncash stock-based compensation expense, net; (vii) payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation expense, net; and (viii) certain restructuring and other costs. We calculate non-GAAP operating expenses as our GAAP operating expenses adjusted by (i) noncash stock-based compensation expense, net; (ii) payroll taxes related to stock-based compensation expense, net; (iii) noncash charges associated with our donation of common stock in connection with our Pledge 1% commitment; as well as (iv) certain restructuring and other costs. Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP operating expenses are key output measures used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, inform future operating plans, and make strategic long-term decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP operating expenses provides additional tools to assess operational performance and trends in, and in comparing our financial measures with, other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors.

We calculate transaction margin dollars as income from operations, excluding expenses related to (i) customer support and operations; (ii) marketing; (iii) technology and development; (iv) general and administrative; and (v) depreciation and amortization. Transaction margin dollars can also be calculated as revenue less transaction expenses. We calculate transaction margin as transaction margin dollars divided by revenue. Transaction margin dollars and transaction margin are non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to evaluate the economic returns generated by the company's platform. We believe that transaction margin dollars and transaction margin provide useful information in understanding and evaluating our financial results.

We calculate free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted for capitalized expenditures that include purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software. Free cash flow is a key measure used by our management to understand the strength of our liquidity and available cash, and we believe that the presentation of this measure is useful because we are focused on growing our free cash flow generation over time. Free cash flow is not intended to represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for the period.
