Remitly Global, Inc. Segments Disclosure
Segment Reporting
Segment and Geographic Information
The Company determines operating segments based on how its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages the business, makes operating decisions around the allocation of resources, and evaluates operating performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews the Company’s operating results on a consolidated basis. The Company operates as one operating segment. Based on the information provided to the Company’s CODM, the Company believes that the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of its revenue and how it is affected by economic factors are most appropriately depicted through the Company’s primary geographical locations. Revenues recorded by the Company are substantially all from the Company’s single performance obligation which are earned from similar services for which the nature of associated fees and the related revenue recognition models are substantially the same. Refer to Note 3. Revenue and Note 6. Property and Equipment for information related to the Company’s geographic information for revenue and long-lived assets, respectively.
Segment Income (Loss) and Performance Measurement
The Company’s CODM is provided the financial performance of the Company's one operating segment showing net income (loss) as the primary measure of segment profitability. Net income (loss) reflects revenue generated and expenses incurred for the business. The CODM uses this measure to evaluate the operational efficiency and profitability of the Company, to make strategic decisions about capital allocation, and to assess whether the Company is meeting its financial targets. The CODM does not evaluate the performance of its one operating segment using asset information.
The Company’s CODM is regularly provided results comparing actual performance against budgeted targets and prior periods. This measure aligns with how resources are managed and allocated within the Company’s one operating segment business.
Significant Segment Expenses
On a regular basis, the Company’s CODM is provided certain significant segment expenses, which include advertising expense and stock-based compensation expense, in addition to those significant segment expenses reported within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The following table reconciles the significant segment expenses regularly provided to the Company’s CODM for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, to the primary measure of segment profitability, net income (loss):

About Segments Disclosures
Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.
Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
