Key Takeaways
Expensify Inc. (Nasdaq: EXFY) launched a tender offer to repurchase up to $25 million of its stock, representing nearly a third of its public float, as shares trade near all-time lows.
The modified “Dutch auction” allows shareholders to tender their stock within a range of $0.98 to $1.20 per share, the company said in a statement. The offer provides a potential premium to Tuesday's closing price of $0.97.
If the offer is fully subscribed, Expensify will buy back between 20.8 million and 25.5 million shares, or about 25% to 30% of its outstanding Class A common stock. The buyback comes after the stock has fallen 59% over the past year, and follows a first-quarter earnings report that missed analyst expectations.
The move signals management's belief that the shares are undervalued and aims to return capital to shareholders. The tender offer expires at midnight, New York City time, on June 10, 2026.
The company's board authorized the repurchase, but none of its directors or executive officers will participate in the tender offer. The final purchase price will be the lowest price within the stated range that enables the company to acquire up to $25 million in shares.
Expensify's recent financial performance has been under pressure. For the first quarter of 2026, the company reported a loss of $0.02 per share, missing the consensus forecast for a profit of $0.04. Revenue of $34 million also fell short of the anticipated $35.53 million.
The buyback suggests confidence in the company's long-term prospects despite recent headwinds. By reducing the number of shares outstanding, the repurchase will increase earnings per share, all else being equal. Citizens JMP Securities is acting as the dealer manager for the offer.
