Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and its cash flows for the periods presented.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2026, any other interim periods or any future year or period. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Flywire and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Segment information
Segment Information
The Company has a single operating and reportable segment.
Use of estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the valuation of acquired intangible assets and other long-lived assets and their useful lives. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions.
Concentrations of credit risk, financial instruments and significant clients
Concentrations of Credit Risk, Financial Instruments and Significant Clients
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, investments in available-for-sale debt securities, accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, and funds receivable from payment partners.
The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality. The Company's cash equivalents include money market funds, which are AAA-rated and comprised of liquid, high-quality debt securities issued by the U.S. government. The Company's cash and cash equivalents deposited with financial institutions exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limit of $250,000. As part of its cash management process, the Company performs periodic reviews of the credit standing of the financial institutions holding its cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, to mitigate credit risk associated with financial institutions, the Company diversifies its cash and cash equivalents across multiple financial institutions and U.S. Treasury Money Market Funds. U.S. Treasuries, by their nature, create a concentration of credit risk with the U.S. Government. The Company's access to its cash and cash equivalents and client funds could be significantly impacted in volatile markets given its concentration in government money market funds.
To manage credit risk associated with investments in available-for-sale debt securities, the Company monitors credit ratings of the issuers of the securities and diversifies its investments by limiting its holding in any one security or issuer.
To reflect the estimated realizable value of accounts receivable and unbilled receivables, the Company maintains an allowance for credit losses. The allowance is determined by applying a loss-rate method based on an aging schedule using the Company's historical loss rate. The Company also considers reasonable and supportable current information in determining its estimated loss rates, such as external forecasts, macroeconomic trends, or other factors that are associated with the credit quality of the Company’s customer base. The Company did not experience any material credit losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
Accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from clients located in the U.S. and internationally. There were no clients that represented 10% or more of the accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025.
Funds receivable from payment partners consists primarily of cash held by the Company’s global payment processing partners that have not yet been remitted to the Company. The following table shows payment partners that represent 10% or more of funds receivable from payment partners:

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company adopted ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. ASU 2025-05 provides a practical expedient and an accounting policy election related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." Upon adoption, the Company elected the practical expedient that allows entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The standard was applied on a prospective basis. The Company's adoption of ASU 2025-05 did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
The following Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) were issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) but not yet adopted by Flywire as of September 30, 2026:
ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses: ASU 2024-03 is intended to improve the disclosures of expenses by providing more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The ASU requires entities to disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption; as well as a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. The amendment also requires disclosure of the total amount of selling expense and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, clarifies the amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for the Company for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2027, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software: ASU 2025-06 amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of software costs. Rather than identifying stages, ASC 350-40-25-12 clarifies the following must be met to begin capitalizing software costs: (i) management, with the relevant authority, implicitly or explicitly authorizes and commits to funding a computer software project; and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended (probable-to-complete recognition threshold). ASU 2025-06 is effective for the Company for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2028. ASU 2025-06 can be applied on a prospective basis, a modified basis for in-process projects, or a retrospective basis with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Fair value measurement
Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.
The Company’s cash equivalents are carried at fair value (Level 1) as determined according to the fair value hierarchy described above. The money market funds, which are AAA-rated, are comprised of liquid, high-quality debt securities issued by the U.S. government. Shares in money market funds are purchased and redeemed at the net asset value (NAV) at the time of the purchase or sale, which may be purchased or redeemed on demand, as may be required by the Company, which represents Level 1 fair value. The Company's investments in available-for-sale debt securities and the foreign exchange contracts are carried at fair value, determined using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy as quoted prices are available to support the valuation. The carrying values of accounts receivable, funds receivable from payment partners, unbilled receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, funds payable to clients, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. The Company’s contingent consideration is carried at fair value, determined using Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
