SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding future events or our future results of operations, financial condition, business, strategies, financial needs, and the plans and objectives of management, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “likely,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the following:
•    our expectations regarding our revenue, expenses, and other operating results;
•    our ability to acquire new customers and successfully retain existing customers;
•    our ability to develop new products and services and bring them to market in a timely manner;
•    our ability to achieve or sustain our profitability;
•    our ability to maintain and expand our strategic relationships with third parties;
•    our business plan and our ability to effectively manage our growth;
•    our market opportunity, including our total addressable market;
•    anticipated trends, growth rates, and challenges in our business and in the markets in which we operate;
•    our ability to attract and retain qualified employees;
•    the COVID-19 pandemic, and its impact on our employees, customers, strategic partners, vendors, results of operations, liquidity, and financial condition;
•    uncertainties regarding the impact of general economic and market conditions, including as a result of currency fluctuations, inflation, or regional and global conflicts, such as the conflict in Israel, or related government sanctions;
•    our ability to maintain the security and availability of our solutions;
•    our ability to maintain our money transmission licenses and other regulatory approvals;
•    our ability to maintain and expand internationally; and
•    our expectations regarding anticipated technology needs and developments and our ability to address those needs and developments with our solutions.
You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements and you should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The results, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this report to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all risks, 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 materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make.
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Remitly Global,” “Remitly,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to Remitly Global, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statementscondensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The year-end condensed balance sheet data within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP and therefore the information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the historical audited annual consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022.
The accompanying unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statementscondensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to state fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss, and cash flows for the interim periods. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20222023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022,2023, or for any other future annual or interim period.
Principles of Consolidation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statementscondensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Remitly Global, Inc. and its wholly ownedwholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statementscondensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed inwithin the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statementscondensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition including the treatment of sales incentive programs, reserves for transaction losses, stock-based compensation expense, including the estimated fair value per share of common stock, the carrying value of operating lease right-of-use assets, the recoverability of deferred tax assets, and capitalization of software development costs.costs, goodwill, and the recoverability of intangible assets. The key assumptions applied for value of the intangible assets include forecasted revenue and growth rates for a hypothetical market participant, selected discount rates, as well as migration curves for developed technology. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on assumptions that management considers reasonable. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, and these differences could be material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, disbursement prefunding, restricted cash, and customer funds receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balances that may exceed the insured limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In addition, the Company funds its international operations using accounts with institutions in the major countries where its subsidiaries operate. The Company also prefunds amounts which are held by its disbursement partners, which are typically located in India, PhilippinesMexico, and Mexico.the Philippines. The Company has not experienced any significant losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents, disbursement prefunding, restricted cash, or customer funds receivable in the three and nine months ended September 30, 20222023 and 2021.2022.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, no individual customer represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenuerevenues or the Company’s customer funds receivable.

Trade Settlement Liabilities7

Table of Contents
Restricted Cash
Our trade settlement liability representsThe Company has relationships with certain payment processors that are responsible for processing the totalCompany’s incoming customer payments. These processors require the Company to maintain certain restricted cash balances as collateral throughout the term of book overdraftsthe processor arrangement. In addition, the Company may be required to maintain restricted cash as a result of other contractual arrangements with vendors and disbursement postfunding liabilities owed to our disbursement partners. Book overdrafts are created when the sum of outstanding checks related to a specific bank account are in excess of funds on deposit for the respective bank account. Disbursement postfunding liabilities are created when the sum of customer transactions related to a specific account held with a disbursement partner are in excess of funds on deposit for the respective account. Book overdrafts and disbursement postfunding liabilities totaled $48.1 million and $18.9 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and wereRestricted cash is classified as within ‘‘AccruedPrepaid expenses and other current liabilities’assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s policy is to report the change in book overdrafts and prefunding liabilities as an operating activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows based on the underlying nature of the transactions.
Deferred Offering Costs
Prior to the IPO, deferred offering costs, which consist of direct incremental legal, accounting, and consulting fees relating to the IPO, were capitalized and included inOther noncurrent assets, neton the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Upon completionSheets, based on its contractual terms. Prior year amounts have been reclassified on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to conform to the current year presentation.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the IPOpurchase price over the acquisition date fair value of net assets, including the amount assigned to identifiable intangible assets, acquired in September 2021,a business combination. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that impairment may have occurred. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether events or circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount. The Company considers factors in performing a qualitative assessment, including, but not limited to, general macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, company financial performance, changes in strategy, and other relevant entity-specific events. If the Company reclassified $4.3 millionelects to bypass the qualitative assessment or does not pass the qualitative assessment, a quantitative assessment is performed. The quantitative assessment compares the carrying value to the fair value of deferred offering costs to additional-paid-in capital offsettinggoodwill, with the IPO proceeds.difference representing an impairment loss.
Advertising
Advertising expenses are charged to operations as incurred and are included as a component of ‘Marketing Expenses’expenses within theCondensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Advertising expenses are used primarily to attract new customers. Advertising expenses totaled $34.6$48.3 million and $25.6$34.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively. Advertising expenses totaled $105.2$123.5 million and $70.1$105.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively.
Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions
The Company evaluates acquisitions to determine if they meet the definition of a business. If the acquisition does meet the definition of a business, it is accounted for as a business combination. For a business combination, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are generally recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition. Any excess of the fair value of consideration transferred for the business, over the fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.
Acquisitions that do not meet the criteria to be accounted for as a business combination are accounted for as an asset acquisition. In an asset acquisition, the cost of the acquisition, including transaction costs, is allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based upon their relative fair values as of the acquisition date, and no goodwill is recognized.
Transaction costs related to business combinations are expensed as incurred and are included in ‘General and Administrative Expenses’ in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Acquisition expenses primarily include external legal, accounting, valuation, and due diligence costs, as well as advisory and other professional services fees necessary to integrate acquired businesses. Transaction costs totaled $1.8 million and $2.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. There were no transaction costs incurred for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Such costs are primarily related to our pending acquisition of Rewire, as further discussed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” included in Part I, Item 2 within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with finite lives primarily consist of licensesdeveloped technology, customer relationships, and trade names acquired through business combinations or asset acquisitions. Intangible assets acquired through business combination are recorded at their respective estimated acquisition date fair values upon acquisition close.value and amortized over their estimated useful lives. Other intangible assets acquired through asset acquisitionacquisitions are recorded at their respective cost. The Company determines the estimated useful lives for acquired intangibleIntangible assets based on the expected future cash flows associated with the respective asset. The Company's intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using ana method that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefit method,benefits of the intangible asset are expected to be realized over their estimated useful lives, unless amortizing on a straight-line basis wouldor straight-lined if not be significantlymaterially different.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of intangibleassesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets periodically by taking into accountwhen events or changes in circumstances that may warrant revised estimatesindicate the carrying amount of useful lives or that indicate the asset may not be impaired.recoverable. If any indicators of impairment are present, the Company tests recoverability. The carrying value of a long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable if the carrying value exceeds the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated from the use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the asset or asset group’s carrying amount, then an impairment loss is recorded, measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group exceeds its estimated fair value.
Severance and Other Related Expenses
The Company records severance-related expenses based on the applicable accounting guidance and whether the severance relates to an ongoing benefit arrangement or relates to a one-time involuntary benefit arrangement. Ongoing benefit arrangements, including statutorily-required notice periods, are recorded when both probable of being paid and estimable. One-time involuntary benefit arrangements and other associated costs are generally recognized when a liability is incurred. The Company also evaluates whether these costs are associated with restructuring activities. Severance costs are expensed within the appropriate Costs and expenses component within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and associated accruals are recorded within 'Accrued expenses and other liabilities.'

Out-of-Period Adjustment
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statementscondensed consolidated financial statements include an adjustment of $4.4 million to stock-based compensation expense and additional paid-in capital, to correct for an error identified by management during the preparation of the prior quarter’speriod’s financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This adjustment is to reflect the straight-lining of expense over the full service period for graded-vested stock-based compensation awards under ASCAccounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718,Compensation - Stock Compensation, and relates to prior annual fiscal periods. Management has determined that this error was not material to the historical financial statements in any individual period or in the aggregate and did not result in the previously issued financial statements being materially misstated. Additionally, although the impact to the three months ended June 30, 2022 was considered material, the impact to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and full year 2022 expected results is not material. As such, management recorded the correction as an out-of-period adjustment in the three months ended June 30, 2022, as disclosed in ourthe Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Substantially all of the cumulative adjustment was related to stock-based compensation for personnel who support ourthe Company’s general and administrative functions and was recorded to generalGeneral and administrative expenses.within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40),Customer’s 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Implementation Costs IncurredContract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2021-08”). ASU 2021-08 will require companies to apply the definition of a performance obligation under ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from contracts with customers” (“Topic 606”) to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities relating to contracts with customers that are acquired in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract.business combination. Under existing U.S.current GAAP, there is diversity in practice in accounting for the costs of implementing cloud computing arrangements (“CCA”) that are service contracts. The standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurredan acquirer generally recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a hosting arrangement that is a servicebusiness combination, including contract assets and contract liabilities arising from revenue contracts with customers, at fair value on the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The standard also requires the presentation of the amortization of the capitalized implementation costsacquisition date. ASU 2021-08 will result in the acquirer recording acquired contract assets and liabilities on the same line item inbasis that would have been recorded by the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations asacquiree before the fees associated with the hosting arrangement. The new standardacquisition under Topic 606. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020,2022 for public entities and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 20212023 for all other entities, with early adoption permitted. This ASU was adopted on a prospective basis for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The Company assessed the impact of the guidance to its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212023 and concluded that the standard did not have a material impact on its financial statements. See Note 4. for further disclosure of the ongoing impact of ASU 2018-15 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU replaces the existing incurred loss impairment methodology that recognizes credit losses when a probable loss has been incurred with new methodology pursuant to which loss estimatesThere are based upon lifetime expected credit losses. The amendments in this ASU require a financial asset that is measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations would then reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets as well as changes to the expected credit losses that have taken place during the reporting period. The change in allowance recognized as a result of adoption will occur through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the ASU is adopted. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within that fiscal year with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
There areother new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB that we havethe Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable. We doThe Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements have had, or will have, a material impact on ourthe condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
3.    Revenue    
The Company’s primary source of revenue is generated from its remittance business. Revenue is earned from transaction fees charged to customers who are sending remittances and the foreign exchange spreads earned between the foreign exchange rate offered to customers and the foreign exchange rate on the Company’s currency purchases. Revenue is recognized when control of these services is transferred to the Company’s customers, which is the time the funds have been delivered to the intended recipient in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for services provided. The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers(Topic 606), which includes the following steps:
(1)identification of the contract with a customer;
(2)identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
(3)determination of the transaction price;
(4)allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

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

Sales Incentives
The Company provides sales incentives to customers in a variety of forms. Cashforms, including promotions, discounts, and other sales incentives. Evaluating whether a sales incentive is a payment to a customer requires judgment. Sales incentives givendetermined to customersbe consideration payable to a customer or paid on behalf of a customer are accounted for as reductions to revenue, up to the point where net historical cumulative revenue, at the customer level, is reduced to zero. Those additional incentive costs that would have caused the customer level revenue to be negative are classified as advertising expenses and are included as a component of ‘Marketing expenses’ within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, referral credits given to a referrer are classified as marketing expenses.Marketing expenses,’ as these incentives are paid in exchange of a distinct service.

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

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

Customer liabilities(3,075)
Advance for future deposits(2,550)
Other assumed indebtedness(16,234)
Other liabilities, net(2,758)
Total consideration transferred$77,914 
As of September 30, 2023, the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Rewire is substantially complete except with respect to the finalization of certain assets and liabilities. These amounts may be further adjusted as management continues to gather and evaluate information about circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, and, as the resulting fair values of net assets acquired are finalized, such adjustments could be significant. The measurement period will not exceed 12 months from the date of acquisition.

13

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

7.    Fair Value Measurements
ThereExcept for the holdback liability related to the Rewire acquisition discussed in Note 5. Business Combinations, there were no financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fairfair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021. We previously invested approximately $80.0 million of our cash and cash equivalents into a Level 2 term deposit during the three months ended March 31, 2022, which had an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. Upon maturity, in the three months ended June 30, 2022, we re-invested approximately $50.0 million, into a new term deposit, that was subsequently liquidated during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
The carrying values of certain financial instruments, including disbursement prefunding, customer funds receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, customer liabilities, short-term debt, and borrowingslong-term debt approximate their respective fair values due to their relative short maturities. If these financial instruments were measured at fair value in the financial statements, they would be classified as Level 2.
Other than as described above, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Fair value of underlying common stock
Prior to the completion of the IPO, the Company’s board of directors considered numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of the Company’s common stock at each meeting in which awards were approved. The factors considered included, but were not limited to: (i) the results of contemporaneous independent third-party valuations of the Company’s common stock; (ii) the prices, rights, preferences, and privileges of the Company’s redeemable convertible preferred stock relative to those of its common stock; (iii) the lack of marketability of the Company’s common stock; (iv) actual operating and financial results; (v) current business conditions and projections; (vi) the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering or sale of the Company, given prevailing market conditions; and (vii) precedent transactions involving the Company’s shares. After the completion of the IPO, the fair value of the Company’s common stock is determined by the closing price, on the date of grant, of its common stock, which is traded on the NASDAQ.

Restricted Stock Units
Prior to the IPO, the Company granted performance-based RSUs (“PRSUs”) to employees and directors that contained both service-based and performance-based vesting conditions. The service-based vesting condition for these awards is typically satisfied over four years with a cliff-vesting period of one year and continued vesting quarterly thereafter. The performance-based vesting condition is satisfied on the earlier of (i) the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act for the sale of the Company’s common stock or (ii) immediately prior to the closing of a change in control of the Company. Both events were not deemed probable until consummated, and therefore, stock-based compensation expense related to these PRSUs remained unrecognized prior to the effectiveness of the IPO. Upon the effectiveness of the IPO the performance-based vesting condition was satisfied, and therefore, the Company recognized cumulative stock-based compensation expense of $1.1 million, using the accelerated attribution method for the portion of the awards for which the service-based vesting condition has been fully or partially satisfied. The remaining grant-date fair value of these PRSUs is being recognized over the remaining requisite service period.
Beginning in August 2021, the Company began granting RSUs to employees and directors with service-based vesting conditions. The service-based vesting condition for these awards is typically satisfied over four years with a cliff vesting period of one year and continued vesting quarterly thereafter. The grant-date fair value of these RSUs will be recognized over the requisite service period.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The ESPP provides for offering periods during which eligible employees can participate in the ESPP and be granted the right to purchase shares. Except for the first offering period, which commenced on September 22, 2021, offering periods shall commence on each subsequent March 1 and September 1, with each offering period consisting of four six-month purchase periods, for a total of a 24-month offering period. No offering periods may last longer than 27 months. Except for the first offering period, the grant date for accounting purposes is generally the first date of each offering period and expense is recognized over the requisite service period, which is considered to be the 24-month offering period. For the first offering period, the grant date for awards under the ESPP was met in October 2021, upon mutual agreement of terms and conditions between the Company and participants of the ESPP. (“ESPP”)
The offering period that commenced on September 22, 2021, for which the accounting grant date was met in October 2021, ended on February 28, 2022, due to a decline in the Company’s stock price at the end of the purchase period, triggering a new offering period, as required by the ESPP plan documents. A new 24-month offering period commenced on March 1, 2022. This event was accounted for as a modification under US GAAP in the first quarter of 2022, whereby the fair value of the ESPP offering was measured immediately before and after modification, resulting in incremental stock-based compensation expense of $3.6 million, which will beis being recognized over the new offering period, which is deemed to be the requisite service period. In addition, aA new subsequent 24-month offering commencedperiod commences on March 1 and September 1 2022.
Eligible employees can contribute up to 15% of their eligible compensation, subject to limitation as provided for in the ESPP, and purchase the common stock at a purchase price per share equal to 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the common stock on (i) the offering date, which is defined as the first business day of the offering period, or (ii) the purchase date, which is the final business day of the purchase period.

Litigation
From time to time, the Company may be a party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business, including intellectual property claims, labor and employment claims, threatened claims, breach of contract claims, and other matters. The Company accrues estimates for resolution of legal and other contingencies when losses are probable, as defined under GAAP, and estimable.

Indirect taxes
The Company is subject to indirect taxation in various states and foreign jurisdictions in which it conducts business. The Company continually evaluates those jurisdictions in which indirect tax obligations exist to determine whether a loss is probable, as defined under U.S. GAAP, and the amount can be estimated. Determination of whether a loss is probable, and an estimate can be made, is a complex undertaking and takes into account the judgment of management, third-party research, and the potential outcome of negotiation and interpretations by regulators and courts, among other information. Such assessments include consideration of management’s evaluation of domestic and international tax laws and regulations, external legal advice, and the extent to which they may apply to ourthe Company’s business and industry. OurThe Company’s assessment of probability includes consideration of recent inquiries, potential or actual self-disclosure, and applicability of tax rules driven by the growth in our business.rules. As a result of this assessment, management accrued an estimated liability of approximately $3.8$4.3 million and $6.0 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively, reflecting the amount that the Company believes is probable and estimable. There was no change to the estimated liability as of September 30, 2022. The estimated liability is recorded within ‘Accrued expenses and other current liabilities’ on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Although the Company believes its indirect tax estimates and associated liabilities are reasonable, the final determination of indirect tax audits or settlements could be materially different than the amounts recorded, and such differences could be material.recorded.

Our differentiated approachbrand promise is to addressing the complexitybring “peace of mind” into everything we do. We focus on bringing trust, reliability, and a fair and transparent price to cross-border remittances and complementary financial services is composedservices.
To deliver on our brand promise, we have a differentiated approach that aligns with the specific needs and interests of our customers and solves the problems immigrant communities often face in making remittances. There are four core elements:elements to our differentiated approach:
Providing a simpleSimple and reliable wayReliable Way of sending moneySending Money with our mobile-centric suiteOur Mobile-Centric Suite of products.Products. Today, over 90% of our customers engage with Remitly on their mobile phones, shifting what traditionally required an in-person interaction, including waiting in line to speak with an agent to the palm of their hands. As of September 30, 2022,2023, our Remitly mobile app had a 4.9 iOS App Store rating with more than 860,000approximately 1.2 million reviewers and a 4.8 Android Google Play rating with more than 490,000over 690,000 reviewers. We have achieved this level of engagement and these high ratings by designing mobile-centric products that make the customer experience simple and convenient and give our customers complete peace of mind.
Our mobile app for cross-border remittances provides an easy-to-use, end-to-end process. In just a few minutes, customers are able to set up and send money for the first time with Remitly, and repeat transactions become easier with just a few taps. Our customers and their families can also track the status of their transactions in real time. This mobile-centric experience enables us to engage beyond the initial transaction, generating strong repeat usage and high customer loyalty.
Conveniently putting money safelyPutting Money Safely in the handsHands of our customers’ families, wherever they are,Our Customers’ Families, Wherever They Are, by relyingRelying on our global networkOur Global Network. As of September 30, 2022, ourOur global network of funding and disbursement partnerships enables us to complete money transfers in approximately 4,2004,900 corridors without the need to deploy local operations in each country. We are able to do this while complying with global and local licensing and regulatory requirements. A corridor represents the pairing of a send country, from which a customer can send a remittance, with a specific receive country to which such remittance can be sent. As a result of the quality of our network and the foundational investments we have made, in general, every new send country we add results in a significant number of new corridors, as we are able to quickly connect send countries with receive countries, allowing us to continue to scale rapidly.
Our disbursement options within our global network continue to grow and remain an important driver of customer loyalty. We have partner relationships with global banks and leading global payment providers to give our customers an array of payment (or pay-in) options, including with a bank account, card-based payments, and alternative payment methods. Our disbursement network provides our customers with various digital and traditional delivery methods and enables us to send (or pay out)pay-out) funds generally within minutes across the majority of transactions, to more than 3.9approximately 4.0 billion bank accounts, over 875 millionapproximately 1.2 billion mobile wallets, and over 420,000approximately 460,000 cash pickup locations. These partner relationships help driveWe focus on creating financial inclusion by providing payout optionality and access for recipients who do not always have convenient access to traditional banking. We believe our focus on financial inclusion creates peace of mind for our customers and their families while attracting and retaining loyal customers. We continue to believe the quality of our network and our focus on customer preference in disbursement options remain a better customer experience, including faster transfers, higher acceptance rates, and enhanced reliability.competitive differentiator.
Creating trustedTrusted and personalized experiencesPersonalized Experiences with our localization expertiseOur Localization Expertise at scaleScale. We believe that our expertise in localizing our marketing, products, and customer support at scale is a key differentiator and enables us to provide customers with a personalized experience that drives peace of mind. Localization can mean many things. To us, it means speaking with our customers in their preferred language, reaching them through the media channels they frequent, and being culturally relevant through their journey. While our business is global, we recognize the importance of a culturally relevant experience being delivered to our customers and their families in the many countries we serve. We strive to deliver marketing, product, and support experiences that connect with them in meaningful ways. For example, we tailor our customer experience with more than 15 native languages, and we provide peace of mind with our global customer support team. Additionally, for disbursement of funds, we partner with local brands that are among the most trusted and recognized by our customers and their families.

Using our data-driven approachOur Data-Driven Approach to better serve our customersBetter Serve Our Customers and provide more valueProvide More Value. We have a data-driven approach to how we grow our business, prioritize our investments, and manage our operations. Because our customers initiate transfers digitally, we capture and leverage a body of transaction-related data that provides insight into customer behavior and customer experience. This data and the analytics we perform inform our marketing investments and product development prioritization. In addition, we leverage our data platform and proprietary machine learning models to improve our compliance systems and manage pricing, treasury, fraud risk, and customer support.
Acquisition of Rewire
On January 5, 2023, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Rewire (O.S.G) Research and Development Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“Rewire”), for approximately $77.9 million of aggregate consideration, the majority of which was or will be settled in cash, with the remaining consideration settled or to be settled in Remitly equity. The combinationacquisition of Rewire allows us to accelerate our differentiated approach andopportunity to differentiate the remittance experience with complementary products, by bringing together our relentless focus on meeting the financial services needs of our immigrant communities has resultedremittance businesses in significant customer growth, high customer engagement, rapid send volume and transaction growth, and attractive customer economics built on top of an expansive global network.new geographies, along with a strong team that is culturally aligned with Remitly.
Our Revenue Model
For our remittance business, which represents the vast majoritysubstantially all of our revenue today, we generate revenue from transaction fees charged to customers who are sending remittances and foreign exchange spreads applied to the customer’s principal.amount the customer is sending.
Transaction fees vary based on the corridor, the currency in which funds are delivered to the recipient, the funding method a customer chooses (e.g., ACH, credit card, debit card, etc.), the disbursement method a customer chooses (e.g., bank deposit, mobile wallet, cash pick-up, etc.), and the amount of the customer’s principal.

customer is sending.
Foreign exchange spreads represent the difference between the foreign exchange rate offered to customers and the foreign exchange rate on the Company’s currency purchases. They are an output of proprietary and dynamic models that are designed to provide fair and competitive rates to our customers, while generating a spread for the Company based on our ability to buy foreign currency at generally advantageous rates.
Revenue from transaction fees and foreign exchange spreads is reduced by customer promotions. For example, we may, from time to time, waive transaction fees for first-time customers, or provide customers with better foreign exchange rates on their first transaction. These incentives are accounted for as reductions to revenue, up to the point where net historical cumulative revenue, at the customer level, is reduced to zero. We consider these incentives to be an investment in our long-term relationship with customers.
Initial Public Offering and Private Placement
In September 2021, the Company completed its IPO, in which the Company issued and sold 7,000,000 shares of its common stock at $43.00 per share. Concurrently, 5,162,777 shares were sold by certain of our existing stockholders. In addition, the Company issued 581,395 shares of common stock to an existing stockholder in a private placement at the same offering price as the IPO. The Company received net proceeds of $305.2 million for the IPO and private placement, after deducting underwriting discounts and other fees of $20.8 million. In connection with the IPO, 127,410,631 shares of outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock automatically converted into an equivalent number of shares of common stock on a one-to-one basis.
Key Business Metrics
We regularly review the following key business metrics to evaluate our performance, identify trends affecting our business, prepare financial projections, and make strategic decisions. We believe that these key business metrics provide meaningful supplemental information for management and investors in assessing our historical and future operating performance. The calculation of these key business metrics discussed below may differ from other similarly titled metrics used by other companies, analysts, or investors. The key business metrics that we use to measure the performance of our business are defined as follows:
“Active customers” is defined as the number of distinct customers thatwho have successfully completed at least one remittance transaction using Remitly during a given calendar quarter. We identify customers through unique account numbers.
“Send volume” is defined as the sum of all customers’ principal,the amount that customers send, measured in U.S. dollars, related to transactions completed during a given period. The customers’ principalThis amount is net of cancellations, does not include transaction fees from customers, and does not include any credits, offers, or bonuses applied to the transactionstransaction by us.
As active customers are measured on a quarterly basis, the data for the full-year periods for active customers is not meaningful, and therefore this metric is only presented on a quarterly basis herein.

We believe that the number of our active customers is an important indicator of customer engagement, customer retention, and the overall growth of our business.
Active customers increased to approximately 3.85.4 million, or 49%42% growth, for the three months ended September 30, 2022,2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021.2022. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of new customers, driven by investments in our mobile platform and efficient marketing spend, our focus on customer experience and how we serve our customers, expansion of our global disbursement network, and the continued diversification across both send and receive countries. While we continue to see strong results in our largest existing receive countries, our successful diversification of our corridor portfolio across both send and receive countries has contributed to new customer growth. In addition, while not a primary driver of results, we believe the strength in the US dollar contributed to new customer acquisition in certain markets during the period.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
Customer Retention and High Customer Engagement
Our send volume is primarily driven by existing customers who regularly use our remittance product to send money home. We believe that our mobile-first products and superior customer experience encourage high retention and repeat usage, which are importantsignificant though not the only drivers of our performance.
We measure active customers to monitor the growth and performance of our customer base. The majority of our active customers send money for recurring, non-discretionary needs multiple times per month, providing a reoccurringrecurring revenue stream with high visibility and predictability.
Attracting New Customers
Our continued ability to attract new customers to our platform is a key driver for our long-term growth. We continue to expand our customer base by launching new send and receive corridors, by continuing to innovate on existing and new products, and by providing the most trusted financial services for immigrants. We plan to continue to acquire new customers through digital marketing channels and word-of-mouth referrals from existing customers, and by exploring new customer acquisition channels. Given the nature of our business, new customer acquisition may negatively impact net loss and Adjusted EBITDA in the initial period, while positively impactingquarter they are acquired, but are expected to favorably impact net loss and Adjusted EBITDA in subsequent periods.
Customer Acquisition
Efficiently acquiring customers is critical to our growth and maintaining of attractive customer economics, which isare impacted by online marketing competition, our ability to effectively target the right demographic, and competitor pricing.
We have a history of successfully monitoring customer acquisitionsacquisition costs and will continue to be strategic and disciplined toward customer acquisition. For example, for performance marketing, we set rigorous customer acquisition targets that we continuously monitor to ensure a high return on investment over the long term, and we can increase or decrease this investment as desired. Customer acquisition costs refer to direct marketing expenses deployed to acquire new customers and primarily includesinclude digital advertising costs. As we look ahead to the fourth quarter we expect customer acquisition costs to increase sequentially but decline year over year as we remain focused on driving efficiencies across the marketing funnel.
Corridor Mix
Our business is global and certain attributes of our business vary by corridor, such as send amount, customer funding sources, and transaction frequency. For example, a period of high growth in receive countriescorridors with large average send amounts, such as India, could disproportionately impact send volume while impacting active customers to a lesser extent. While shifts in our corridor mix could impact the trends in our global business, including send volume and customer economics, we have the ability to optimize these corridors over the long term based on their specific dynamics.
Seasonality
Our operating results and metrics are subject to seasonality, which may result in fluctuations in our quarterly revenues and operating results. For example, active customers and send volume generally peak as customers send gifts for regional and global holidays including, most notably, in the fourth quarter around the Christmas holiday. This seasonality typically drives higher fourth quarter customer acquisition, which generally results in higher fourth quarter marketing costs and transaction losses. It also results in higher transactions and transaction expenses, along with higher working capital needs. Other periods of favorable seasonality include Ramadan/Eid, Lunar New Year/Tết, and Mother’s Day, which occur throughout the year, although the impact of seasonality is generally lower than the seasonality we see in the fourth quarter. Conversely, we typically observe lower customer acquisition and existing customer activity through most of the first quarter, especially in regions that experience favorable seasonality in the fourth quarter. The number of business days in a quarter and the day of week that the last day of the quarter falls on may also introducesintroduce variability in our results, working capital balances, or cash flows period over period.

Our Technology Platform
We will continue to invest significant resources in our technology platform. These investments will allow us to introduce new and innovative products, add features to current products, enhance the customer and recipient experience, grow our payment and disbursement network, invest in our risk and security infrastructure, and continue to secure data in accordance with evolving best practices and legal requirements. While we expect our expenses related to technology and development to increase, which may impact short-term profitability, we believe these investments will ultimately contribute to our long-term growth.
Management of Risk and Fraud
We manage fraud (e.g., through identity theft) and other illegitimate activity (e.g., money laundering) by utilizing our proprietary risk models, which include machine learning processes, early warning systems, bespoke rules, and manual investigation processes. Our models and processes enable us to identify and address complex and evolving risks in these unwanted activities, while maintaining a differentiated customer experience. In addition, we integrate historical fraud loss data and other transaction data into our risk models, which helps us identify emerging patterns and quantify fraud and regulatory and compliance risks across all aspects of our customer interactions. These models and processes allow us to achieve and maintain fraud loss rates within desired guardrails, as well as tailortune our risk models to target other illegitimate activity.
Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Changes
Global macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, including inflation, currency fluctuations, immigration, trade and regulatory policies, the conflict in Ukraine, the conflict in Israel, global crises and natural disasters, unemployment, potential recession, and the rate of digital remittance adoption impact demand for our services and the options that we can offer. These factors evolve over time, and periods of significant currency appreciation or depreciation, whether in send or receive currencies, changes to global migration patterns, and changes to digital adoption trends may shift the timing and volume of transactions, or the number of customers using our service. In addition, foreign currency movements do impact our business in numerous ways. For example, as the USU.S. dollar strengthens, we see customers in certain markets taking advantage of the ability to get more local currency to their families and friends. We also believe the strength of the USU.S. dollar and the strength inof other developed market currencies versus emerging market currencies make it easier to acquire new customers in certain markets. Conversely, expansion of our international business can negatively impact our condensed consolidated results when otherthese currencies weaken against the USU.S. dollar.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has had, As we grow we are becoming more diversified across geographies and continues tocurrencies which can help mitigate some localized geopolitical risks and macroeconomic trends. As foreign currency can have a significant impact on the U.S. economy and the markets in which we operate. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our business, we strive to maintain a diversified cash balance portfolio and frequently assess for foreign currency cash concentrations. See Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the digital financial services industry in general, saw accelerated growth, as digital remittances increasingly became the choice of senders and receivers; however, we also experienced disruptions. In responseCompany’s Notes to the COVID-19 pandemic, government authorities and businesses globally implemented varying levelsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of travel restrictions, border closures, quarantines, shelter-in-place and lockdown orders, mask and social distancing requirements, andthis Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a more comprehensive description of current business limitations and shutdowns, which contributed to a variety of changes to consumer behavior as well as to government and business practices. As a result, we observed that consumer behavior evolved rapidly to favor forms of commerce that do not require in-person interactions, with acceleration in the shift to digital and contactless forms of payment. During 2020 and 2021, this led to rapid customer, transaction, and revenue growth for our business. We have experienced a stabilization in growth in 2022. It remains unclear to what extent these conditions will impact our customers’ behavior in the future.
In some cases, pandemic-related measures also negatively impacted Remitly, including disruptions to workforce stability during 2020 and 2021. However, certain operating expenses during those years grew more slowly than usual due to reduced business travel and the virtualization or cancellation of events. These operating expenses have begun to return to normal growth levels as pandemic restrictions are lifted.
The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, particularly if new variants of the virus emerge. While we expect the trend toward increased use of digital payments to continue, its velocity may abate as conditions change. In addition, the impact from new variants and other factors arising from the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely effect the use of our services by our customers, the ability of our employees to perform work, and our business generally, which could have a material adverse impact on our operating and financial results.
We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that may alter our business practices as may be required by federal, state, or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, or business partners.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has remained focused on serving its customers and communities, as well as the well-being of its employees.

While not a primary driver of results, foreign currency movements, particularly the recent strength in the US dollar, impacted our business in the three months ended September 30, 2022. For example, we saw customers taking advantage of the ability to get more local currency to their families and friends. The strong US dollar was also a benefit to new customer acquisition and retention in certain markets. Conversely, the increase in our revenue growth globally was negatively impacted by foreign currency translation related to our international revenue, as our international business continues to grow and currencies such as the British pound and Euro weakened against the US dollar.

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

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity and Material Future Cash Requirements
As of September 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $376.5$223.3 million and $403.3$300.6 million, respectively, as well as funds available under the New Revolving Credit Facility.Facility, which we entered into in September 2021. We have historically financed our operations and capital expenditures primarily through cash generated from operations including transaction fees and foreign exchange spreads and sales of our redeemable convertible preferred stock. Since September 2021,spreads. In recent periods, we have primarily financedsupplemented those cash flows with borrowings on our operating growth and capital expenditures through the proceeds from our IPO and concurrent private placement. In addition, in September 2021, we entered into our $250.0 million New Revolving Credit Facility; however,Facility, primarily to support customer transaction volumes during peak periods, which we have not yetexpect to continue to do in the future. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we borrowed against this credit facility givenwhich was repaid by September 30, 2023. Operations continue to be substantially funded by the existing cash we have on hand to fund operations, other than utilizingand ongoing utilization of the New Revolving Credit Facility (including the letter of credit sub-facility, on an as needed basis.sub-facility), which has included active borrowings and repayments during 2023. As of September 30, 2022,2023, we have unused borrowing capacity of $230.8$202.5 million.
We believe that our cash, cash equivalents, and funds available under the New Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months. Our material cash requirements include funds to support current and potential operating activities, capital expenditures, and other commitments, and could include other uses of cash, such as strategic investments. In addition, inon January 5, 2023, we acquired 100% of the three months ended September 30, 2022 we entered into an agreement to acquireoutstanding equity interests of Rewire (as defined herein) for approximately $80$77.9 million, which includes the fair value of aggregate consideration,cash and equity issued, or to be issued, to selling shareholders. A portion of these proceeds were held back at closing for any potential indemnity claims, which will be released after a 15-month holdback period, subject to any deductions, the majority of which will be settled in cash, with a portion in Company common stock. As of September 30, 2023, the majorityfair value of the liability held back that will be settled in cash and Company common stock was $13.8 million and is expected to be settled in cash. the next 12 months.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the expansion of our sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of expansion into new corridors, and the timing of introductions of new products and enhancements of existing products.products, and other strategic investments. Furthermore, certain jurisdictions where we operate require us to hold eligible liquid assets, based on regulatory or legal requirements, equal to the aggregate amount of all customer balances. In addition, as discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we expect that our operating expenses may continue to increase to support the continued growth of our business, including increased investments in our technology to support product improvements, new product development, and geographic expansion, as well as ongoing operating costs as a public company.expansion. We also routinely enter into marketing and advertising contracts, as well as software subscriptions and other service arrangements, including cloud infrastructure arrangements, which are generally entered into in the ordinary course of business, and that can include minimum purchase quantities, requiring us to utilize cash on hand to fulfill these amounts. Refer to “Contractual Obligations and Commitments” discussed further below.

In the future, we may also attempt to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities or through equity-linked securities, and the ownership of our existing stockholders would be diluted. In addition, if we raise additional financing by incurring additional indebtedness, we may be subject to increased fixed payment obligations and could also be subject to additional restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. Any future indebtedness we incur may result in terms that are unfavorable to equity investors. There can be no assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital. The inability to raise capital would adversely affect our ability to achieve our business objectives.

Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Our main sources of operating cash are transaction fees charged to customers and foreign exchange spreads on transactions. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities have been for advertising expenses used to attract new customers, transaction expenses that include fees paid to payment processors and disbursement partners, personnel-related expenses, technology, and other general corporate expenditures. Our changes in operating cash flows are heavily impacted by the timing of customer transactions and, in particular, the day of the week that the quarter end falls on, including holidays and long weekends. For example we generally have higher prefunding amounts if the quarter closes on a weekend or in advance of a long weekend, such as a holiday, which creates variability in customer transaction relatedtransaction-related balances period over period.period and can reduce our cash position at a particular point in time. These balances inwithin our Condensed Consolidated StatementStatements of Cash Flows include disbursement prefunding, customer funds receivable, customer liabilities, and book overdrafts and disbursement postfunding liabilities and book overdrafts, both of which are included within the line item:item ‘Accrued expenses and other liabilities.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $19.1 million, which was primarily driven by an increase in overall growth in our global network of funding and disbursement partnerships and an increase in volume of customer transactions. Specifically, as a result of both growth and timing, we saw an increase in disbursement prefunding of $52.2 million and customer funds receivable of $68.6 million, offset by an increase in customer liabilities of $29.2 million and accrued expenses and other liabilities.liabilities, which are inclusive of disbursement postfunding liabilities and book overdrafts, of $34.2 million, which were the key drivers for the unfavorable changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $56.2 million. This change in our operating assets and liabilities was also partially offset by cash generated from our operations, when excluding the $119.9 million of noncash charges included within the $82.8 million net loss for the period.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $27.8 million, which primarily consisted of unfavorable changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $8.2 million, and net loss of $94.6 million, partially offset by $75.0 million of noncash charges included within net loss for the period. The primary driver for the unfavorable change in operating assets and liabilities was due to the overall growth in our business and the timing of funding customer transactions, including an increase in customer funds receivable of $52.5 million partially offset by an increase in customer liabilities of $36.8 million and changes in the timing of other operating assets and liabilities. As compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the unfavorable change in our customer transaction related balances is primarily due to the timing of funding of our customer transactions, as the quarter ended on a Friday prior to a high funding weekend, compared to the same date in prior year, which ended during the week.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net cash provided by operating activities was $19.4 million, which primarily consisted of favorable changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $21.5 million offset by net loss of $22.2 million, excluding approximately $20.1 million of non-cash charges included within net loss for the period. The main drivers for the change in operating assets and liabilities were an increase in customer liabilities of $50.3 million due to growth in our business and timing of disbursements, offset by an increase in customer receivables of $29.1 million in line with the growth in our business, and timing of cash settlement.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $239.7$17.1 million was primarily driven by proceeds from the issuance of common stock upon our IPO and concurrent private placement, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering costs of $307.1 million, which excludes $1.9 million of offering costs not yet paid as of September 30, 2021. These proceeds were partially offset by repayments of our Revolving Credit Facility borrowings of $80.0 million and payments of debt issuance costs of $1.0 million. Other financing sourcesthat occurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 included proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $7.5 million, the repayment of a non-recourse promissory note of $3.1 million, and the issuance of Series F redeemable convertible preferred stock, net of issuance costs of $2.9 million.2023.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Our principal commitments consist of standby letters of credits,credit, long-term leases, and other purchase commitments entered into in the normal course of business. In addition, we routinely enter into marketing and advertising contracts, as well as software subscriptions or other service arrangements, including cloud infrastructure arrangements, and compliance-tool related arrangements that contractually obligate us to purchase services, in the near term, including minimum service quantities, unless we give notice of cancellation based on the applicable terms of the agreements. Most contracts are typically cancelable within a period of less than one year. Asyear, although some of September 30, 2022, we had approximately $7.0 million in total purchase commitments under these arrangements, of which approximately $3.0 million is cancellable within 90 days of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The remaining amount includes oneour larger software or cloud service subscriptions require multi-year commitment through 2023.commitments. Changes in our business needs, contractual cancellation provisions, fluctuating interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing and amounts of these payments.
In addition, we have entered into the following commitments during 2022:
On August 15, 2022,on February 19, 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which we, through a newly formed merger subsidiary, will acquire the outstanding equity interests of Rewire (O.S.G) Research and Development Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“Rewire”). Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the agreement, Rewire’s selling shareholders will receive approximately $80 million of aggregate consideration in exchange for their outstanding equity interests in Rewire, subject to customary purchase price adjustments.

Some portion of the equity consideration will be recognized as share-based compensation expense, as it requires a future service period.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2022,2023, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources. From time to time we do enter into short-term leases that have lease terms of less than 12 months, and are typically month-to-month in nature. As described in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on our Annual Report on Form 10-K, we elected not to record leases on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets if the lease term is 12 months or less. For further information on our lease arrangements, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statementscondensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statementscondensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, and expenses, and related disclosures. The Company’s estimates are based on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ significantly from the estimates made by management. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows will be affected.
There have been no material changes, other than as described in Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and as described below to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to those described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022.
Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are subject to an impairment assessment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. Long-lived assets, other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from estimated future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, the fair value of the asset is calculated using the present value of estimated net future cash flows. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment is recorded.
The impairment assessments involve the use of accounting estimates and assumptions, changes in which could materially impact our financial condition or operating performance if actual results differ from such estimates and assumptions.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2, “Basis2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the notesCompany’s Notes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.
JOBS Act
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (the “JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (1) are no longer an emerging growth company or (2) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. Based on the market value of our common stock held by nonaffiliates as of the last business day of our fiscal second quarter ended June 30, 2022, we will cease to be an emerging growth company as of December 31, 2022.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the potential for economic losses to be incurred on market risk sensitiverisk-sensitive instruments arising from adverse changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and equity investment risk. Management establishes and oversees the implementation of policies governing our investing, funding, and foreign currency activities in order to mitigate market risks. We monitor risk exposures on an ongoing basis.
Credit Risk
We have a limited number of pay-in payment processors and therefore we are exposed to credit risk relating to those pay-in payment providers if, in the course of a transaction, we were to disburse funds to the recipient but the pay-in payment provider doesdid not deliver our customer’s funds to us (for example, due to their illiquidity). We mitigate this credit risk by engaging with reputable pay-in payment providers and entering into written agreements with pay-in providers allowing for legal recourse. We are also exposed to credit risk relating to many of our disbursement partners when we prefund or remit funds in advance of having collected funds from our customers through our pay-in payment processors, if our disbursement partners fail to disburse funds according to our instructions (for example, due to their insufficient capital). We mitigate these credit exposures by engaging with reputable disbursement partners and performing a credit review before onboarding each disbursement partner and by negotiating for post-funding arrangements where circumstances permit. We also periodically review credit ratings, or, if unavailable, other financial documentation, of both our pay-in payment providers and disbursement partners. We have not experienced significant losses during the periods presented.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Given the nature of our business, we are exposed to foreign exchange rate risk in a number of ways. Our principal exposure to foreign exchange rate risk includes:
Exposure to foreign currency exchange risk on our cross-border payments if exchange rates fluctuate between initiation of the transaction and transaction disbursement to the recipient. We disburse transactions in multiple foreign currencies, including most notably the Indian rupee, the Mexican peso, and the Philippine peso. In the vast majority of cases, the recipient disbursement occurs within a day of sending, which mitigates foreign currency exchange risk. To enable disbursement in the receive currency, we prefund many disbursement partners one to two business days in advance based on expected send volume. Foreign exchange rate risk due to differences between the timing of transaction initiation and payment varies based on the day of the week and the bank holiday schedule; for example, disbursement prefunding is typically largest before long weekends.
While the majority of our revenue and expenses are denominated in the U.S. dollar, certain of our international operations are conducted in foreign currencies, a significant portion of which occur in Canada the United Kingdom, and Europe. Changes in the relative value of the U.S. dollar to other currencies may affect revenue and other operating results as expressed in U.S. dollars. In addition, certain of our international subsidiary financial statements are denominated in and operated in currencies outside of the USU.S. dollar. As such, the condensed consolidated financial statements will continue to remain subject to the impact of foreign currency translation, as our international business continues to grow. In periods where other currencies weaken against the USU.S. dollar, this can negatively impact our consolidated results which are reported in the US dollar.U.S. dollars.

33


As of September 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, a hypothetical uniform 10% strengthening or weakening in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies in which our net loss iswas generated, would have resulted in a decrease or increase to the fair value of our customer transaction relatedtransaction-related assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the subsidiaries’ functional currencies of approximately $14.5$14.9 million and $11.6$10.2 million, respectively, based on our unhedged exposure to foreign currency at that date. There are inherent limitations in this sensitivity analysis, primarily due to the following assumptions: (1) foreign exchange rate movements are linear and instantaneous, (2) exposure is static, and (3) customer transaction behavior due to currency rate changes is static. As a result, the analysis is unable to reflect the potential effects of more complex market changes that could arise, which may positively or negatively affect our results from operations. For example, both the disbursement prefunding balance and the customer funds liability balance (and resulting net impact to our net currency position) may be highly variable day to day. In addition, changes in foreign exchange rates may impact customer behavior by altering the timing or volume of transactions sent through our platform. For example, an increase in the value of a send currency against a receive currency may accelerate the timing or amount of remittances.
To the extent practicable, we minimize our foreign currency exposures by maintaining natural hedges between our current assets and current liabilities in similarly denominated foreign currencies. At this time, we do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments in an attempt to hedge our foreign currency exchange risk. We may do so in the future, but it is difficult to predict the impact hedging activities would have on our operating results.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
OurBased on their evaluation as of September 30, 2023, our management, with the participation ofincluding our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness ofhave concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under 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 ensure 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on such evaluation, and in consideration of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and proceduresamended) were not effective. Accordingly, our management has performed additional analyses, reconciliations, and other post-closing procedures. On the basis of these procedures, management has concluded that, notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods covered by and included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly state, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Previously Identified Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In connection with preparing our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, we identified two material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there iseffective at a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The material weaknesses are as follows:
We did not design and maintain effective controls over certain information technology (“IT”) general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of our financial statements. Specifically, we did not design and maintain: (1) program change management controls for certain financial systems to ensure that IT program and data changes affecting financial IT applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately; and (2) user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and that adequately restrict user and privileged access to certain financial systems, programs, and data to appropriate Company personnel.
We did not design and maintain effective controls over segregation of duties in journal entries. More specifically, certain personnel had the ability to prepare and post journal entries without an independent review performed by someone without this ability.
These material weaknesses did not result in a misstatement to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement periods covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, the material weaknesses described above could result in misstatements potentially impacting all financial statement accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that would not be prevented or detected.

34


In addition, in the second quarter of 2022, we identified a new material weakness. We did not design and maintain controls to monitor the impact of vesting terms on the timing and accuracy of stock-based compensation expense for graded-vesting equity awards. This material weakness resulted in the misstatement of stock-based compensation expense and related financial disclosures for the year-ended December 31, 2021 and the interim period ended March 31, 2022, which was corrected in the interim period ended June 30, 2022, as described in Note 2 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Management has determined that this error was not material to the historical financial statements in any individual period or in the aggregate and did not result in the previously issued financial statements being materially misstated. This material weakness could result in misstatements of the aforementioned account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses
With the oversight of the Audit and Risk Committee of our board of directors, we have continued throughout 2022 to dedicate significant resources and efforts to improve our control environment and to take steps to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. Our internal audit organization, which reports directly to our Audit and Risk Committee, has played an integral role in providing direction to achieve a stronger control environment. While certain remedial actions have been completed, we continue to actively plan for and implement additional control procedures.
Actions Taken During the Current Quarter
As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, these remain material weaknesses and we are in the process of remediating them. In order to remediate these material weaknesses, we have taken the following actions:
developed enhanced risk assessment procedures and monitoring controls related to changes in the financial reporting system;
implemented comprehensive access control protocols to implement restrictions on user and privileged access to the affected financial reporting system;
implemented controls to review and monitor user access;
established additional controls over the preparation and review of journal entries; and
established additional controls to monitor the impact of vesting terms on the timing and accuracy of stock-based compensation expense.
Status of Remediation Efforts
We believe the measures described above will facilitate the remediation of the control deficiencies we have identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control processes and will continue to review, optimize and enhance our financial reporting controls and procedures. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, we may take additional measures to address control deficiencies, or we may modify, or in appropriate circumstances not complete, certain of the remediation measures described above. While we are taking the necessary actions to address each of the material weaknesses discussed above, each material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial measures have been implemented for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the enhanced controls are operating effectively.
We have concluded that these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting occurred as we are a new public company, and, prior to the effectiveness of our initial public offering, we were a private company and did not have the necessary business processes and related internal controls necessary to satisfy the accounting and financial reporting requirements of a public company.assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The third quarter remediation activities described above, areThere were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 20222023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
