    SEATTLE, Nov. 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Remitly Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: RELY), a leading digital financial services provider for immigrants and their families in over 135 countries around the world, reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

    “As we exit our first quarter as a public company, we’re incredibly grateful for the position we’re in to both create positive business outcomes, as well as meaningful impact through mission-driven work,” said Matt Oppenheimer, Remitly’s Chief Executive Officer. “Remitly’s vision is to transform the lives of immigrants and their families by providing the most trusted financial services on the planet. Our strong results in the quarter are a direct reflection of our customers' commitment to their families and trust in Remitly.”

    Third Quarter 2021 Highlights and Key Operating Data:
    (All comparisons relative to the third quarter of 2020)

    • Revenue totaled $121.2 million, compared to $71.8 million, up 69% year over year.
    • Net loss was $13.0 million, compared to $2.4 million net loss. The increase in Remitly's net loss was primarily due to the $6.9 million non-cash donation of common stock in connection with our Pledge 1% commitment, as well as incremental stock-based compensation expense.
    • Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $0.3 million, compared to $0.6 million.
    • Send volume increased to $5.2 billion, from $3.2 billion, up 61% year over year.
    • Active customers increased to 2.6 million, from 1.7 million, up 51% year over year.
    • Average revenue per active customer increased 12% year over year to $47.34.

    2021 Financial Outlook:
    For fiscal year 2021, Remitly currently expects:

    • Total revenue in the range of $445 million to $450 million, representing a growth rate of 73 to 75% year over year.
    • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $(17) million to $(19) million.

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

    Webcast Information
    Remitly will host a webcast at 5:00 PM Eastern Time on Wednesday, November 10, 2021 to discuss its third quarter 2021 financial results. The live webcast will be accessible on Remitly’s website at https://ir.remitly.com/. A webcast replay will be available on our website at https://ir.remitly.com/ following the live event.

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

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures
    Some of the financial information and data contained in this presentation, such as adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP operating expenses, have not been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We regularly review our key business metrics and non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our performance, identify trends affecting our business, prepare financial projections, and make strategic decisions. We believe that these key business metrics and non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information for management and investors in assessing our historical and future operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP operating expenses are key output measures used by our management to evaluate our operating performance, inform future operating plans, and make strategic long-term decisions, including those relating to operating expenses and the allocation of internal resources. Remitly believes that the use of adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP operating expenses provide additional tools to assess operational performance and trends in, and in comparing Remitly’s financial measures with, other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Remitly’s non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Because of the limitations of non-GAAP financial measures, you should consider the non-GAAP financial measures presented herein in conjunction with Remitly’s financial statements and the related notes thereto. Please refer to the non-GAAP reconciliations in this press release for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.

    We calculate adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted by i) interest expense, net; ii) provision for income taxes; iii) noncash charge of depreciation and amortization; iv) other expense (income), net, including gains and losses from the remeasurement of foreign currency assets and liabilities into their functional currency; and v) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, as well as non-cash charges associated with our donation of common stock in connection with our Pledge 1% commitment. We calculate non-GAAP operating expenses as our GAAP operating expenses adjusted by i) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, as well as ii) non-cash charges associated with our donation of common stock in connection with our Pledge 1% commitment.
