Then, on March 30, 2022, Expensify, Inc. announced its fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2021 results, including fourth quarter GAAP earnings per share of -$0.82, missing consensus estimates by $0.74. The Company also reported that "[a]n IPO-related bonus expense of $14.2 million impacted net (loss) income" for the fourth quarter, leading to a net loss of $21.9 million, compared to a net income of $1.7 million for the same period the prior year, which "was primarily due to the IPO-related bonus"; and that "[a]n IPO-related bonus expense of $48.4 million impacted net (loss) income and Adjusted EBITDA" for the full fiscal year, leading to a net loss of $13.6 million, compared to a net loss of $1.7 million for the same period the prior year, which "was primarily due to the IPO-related bonus."
On June 12, 2023, Morgan Stanley downgraded Expensify, Inc to Underweight from Equal-weight, citing structural headwinds and the Company's risk-reward profile.
On August 8, 2023, Expensify, Inc announced its second quarter 2023 financial and operating results. Among other items, Expensify reported GAAP EPS of -$0.14, missing consensus estimate of -$0.07, and revenue of $38.9 million, which likewise missed the consensus estimate of $41.5 million.

Shares of Expensify, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXFY) declined to $15.2 per share on November 08, 2023.
The plaintiff claims that the Offering Documents that were filed in connection with the Company's IPO made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: Expensify's revenue growth was highly susceptible to structural and macroeconomic headwinds, that as a result, the Company overstated the efficacy of its business model and the likelihood it would meet the long-term growth projections touted in the Offering Documents, that accordingly, the Company's post-IPO financial position and/or business prospects were overstated, and that as a result, Defendants' statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
