On or around November 11, 2021, Expensify conducted its initial public offering (“IPO”), selling 9.73 million shares at $27 per share.
On June 12, 2023, Morgan Stanley downgraded Expensify from Equal-weight to Underweight, citing structural headwinds and the Company’s risk-reward profile. On this news, Expensify’s stock price fell $0.45, or 6.3%, to close at $6.72 per share on June 12, 2023, thereby injuring investors.
Then, on August 8, 2023, Expensify released its second quarter 2023 financial results, reporting GAAP EPS of -$0.14, missing consensus estimate of -$0.07, and revenue of $38.9 million, missing consensus estimate of $41.5 million. Additionally, the Company withdrew its previously issued revenue growth guidance. On this news, Expensify’s stock price fell $1.69, or 28.6%, to close at $4.23 per share on August 9, 2023.
Then, on November 7, 2023, after the market closed, Expensify released its third quarter 2023 financial results, again missing consensus estimates, reporting a GAAP loss of $0.21 per share and a 14.1% year-over-year revenue decline. On this news, Expensify’s stock price fell $1.07, or 36.9%, to close at $1.83 per share on November 8, 2023, thereby injuring investors further.
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Expensify’s revenue growth was highly susceptible to structural and macroeconomic headwinds; (2) 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; (3) accordingly, the Company’s post-IPO financial position and/or business prospects were overstated; and (4) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
