Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Profitability: The company achieved GAAP net income of $23.8 million in fiscal 2025, reversing a net loss of $28.9 million in fiscal 2024. This was driven by revenue growth and a significant reduction in operating losses.
• Revenue Composition: Total revenue grew 13% to $1.46 billion. Transaction fees increased by $163.1 million (19%) due to higher TPV, while interest income on funds held for customers decreased by $5.7 million (3%) due to lower interest rates.
• Debt Restructuring: In December 2024, the company issued $1.4 billion in 0% convertible senior notes due 2030. Proceeds were used to repurchase portions of the 2025 and 2027 notes, repurchase $200 million of common stock, and fund capped call transactions.
• Operating Expenses: Sales and marketing expenses increased by $65.2 million (14%), primarily due to a $52.2 million increase in rewards expense for the BILL Divvy Card program. Restructuring costs dropped to zero in 2025 from $27.6 million in 2024 as the prior year's plan was completed.
• Credit Losses: Provision for expected credit losses increased by $12.6 million to $72.7 million, driven by growth in loans held for investment, partially offset by a release of reserves due to methodology refinements.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Outlook: Management expects to continue investing in platform development, AI tools, and customer acquisition. The company anticipates that interest income may decrease further as interest rates decline and customers adopt faster payment methods.
• Share Repurchases: The company completed the $300 million August 2024 repurchase program in July 2025. In August 2025, the board authorized a new $300 million share repurchase program.
• Key Risks:
  • Macroeconomic Conditions: SMBs are susceptible to economic downturns, which could reduce spending and TPV.
  • Credit Risk: Exposure to credit losses from the BILL Divvy Card and invoice financing products, though fraud and loss rates remain nominal (0.01% for AP/AR, 0.23% for cards).
  • Regulatory Environment: Subject to extensive money transmission, banking, and data privacy regulations. Recent self-disclosure to OFAC regarding sanctions compliance resulted in a cautionary letter.
  • Competition: Competition from legacy manual processes, enterprise-focused firms, and new entrants like Intuit, Brex, and Ramp.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Interest Rate Sensitivity: Verify the impact of declining interest rates on the "Interest on funds held for customers" revenue stream, which contributed 11% of total revenue in 2025.
• Credit Loss Reserves: Review the methodology refinements for expected credit losses on acquired card receivables and the adequacy of the $15.0 million allowance.
• Debt Conversion Terms: Analyze the conversion triggers and settlement terms (cash vs. stock) for the $1.4 billion 2030 Notes and remaining 2025/2027 Notes.
• Card Rewards Expense: Monitor the growth of rewards expense relative to interchange revenue, as this directly impacts gross margins for the Spend and Expense segment.
• Regulatory Compliance: Track the status of the OFAC cautionary letter and any potential future penalties or operational restrictions related to sanctions compliance.
