Why Is RELY a Good Business?

With Amazon founder Jeff Bezos as an early investor, Remitly (NASDAQ:RELY) is an online platform that enables consumers to safely and quickly send money globally.

1. Active Customers Skyrocket, Fueling Growth Opportunities

As a fintech company, Remitly generates revenue growth by increasing both the number of users on its platform and the number of transactions they execute.

Over the last two years, Remitly’s active customers, a key performance metric for the company, increased by 34.5% annually to 8.51 million in the latest quarter. This growth rate is among the fastest of any consumer internet business and indicates its offerings have significant traction.

2. Outstanding Long-Term EPS Growth

We track the change in earnings per share (EPS) because it highlights whether a company’s growth is profitable.

Remitly’s full-year EPS flipped from negative to positive over the last three years. This is a good sign and shows it’s at an inflection point.

3. Increasing Free Cash Flow Margin Juices Financials

Free cash flow isn't a prominently featured metric in company financials and earnings releases, but we think it's telling because it accounts for all operating and capital expenses, making it tough to manipulate. Cash is king.

As you can see below, Remitly’s margin expanded by 33.7 percentage points over the last few years. This is encouraging, and we can see it became a less capital-intensive business because its free cash flow profitability rose more than its operating profitability. Remitly’s free cash flow margin for the trailing 12 months was 23.7%.

Final Judgment

These are just a few reasons why Remitly ranks highly on our list. With the recent decline, the stock trades at 18× forward EV/EBITDA (or $19.48 per share). Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
