Thank you, Masha, and thank you to everyone that is joining us today. Before we go into details about the quarter, I want to provide some context on what we have accomplished as a public company and how we are looking towards the future. Since our IPO in 2021, we have doubled the business in terms of revenue and surpassed the revenue, gross profit and adjusted EBITDA margin objectives we had set at the time of our IPO. We plan to double the revenue yet again over the next several years while improving profitability and the cash flow generation of the company. We expect to accomplish this through a combination of business improvements we have already made and the investments we are making. We now have 4,000-plus loyal clients in 50 countries across numerous verticals and subverticals with great revenue diversification. And we have more than 1,300 FlyMates focused on execution and building high-performance teams. We have powerful sales and customer success engines in each industry we serve, and we have a robust global payment infrastructure that was able to support the nearly 2x total payment volume spike in Q3 compared to the average volume process during the first 2 quarters of this year. Our combination of next-gen payments platform, proprietary global payment network and vertical-specific software create a powerful value proposition, further strengthened by our efficient go-to-market engine and existing client relationships. I am very proud of our teams, product capabilities and our ability to prioritize investments to further optimize our cost structure and deliver more value to our clients, their payers and to our shareholders. Our core business is operating well because we are focusing on the things we can control. We are deepening our relationships and seeing revenue growth at existing clients. We are reducing the small…

Thanks, Mike. It was another strong quarter of growth and adjusted EBITDA performance for the company. We have added more than 200 clients across all 4 core verticals with new clients in the travel vertical modestly outnumbering those added in education. Healthcare returned to growth for Q3 compared to last year's Q3, and we continue to focus on go-to-market scale and efficiency in Q3 and saw year-over-year improvements in both pipeline creation and average deal length across the business. This quarter's results were driven by the continued execution of our 5 strategic growth pillars, which include growth with existing clients, new client wins, expansion to new industries, geographies and products; and finally, growth from our strategic value-enhancing acquisitions. Let me show how these pillars worked across our verticals. I'll start with education, our largest vertical. As most of you know, Q3 has typically been our seasonally largest quarter tied to it being the peak tuition period in the U.S., UK and several other major student education markets. This Q3 included strength across multiple geographies, products and education subsectors and also showed resilience in the face of several notable pressures tied to visa and immigration policy shifts. Most notably, the UK was a major growth market and the strength in the UK came from a broad range of source countries. Our U.S. and UK growth, combined with growth in many emerging destination markets, all reflect the increasing diversity of our client base, increased resilience to changes in student country preferences and the impact of our agent and overall growth strategy. To go even further into the underlying strength of the business in our UK Higher Education segment, revenue growth accelerated this quarter on a year-over-year basis. Note that approximately one third of the UK education revenue added year-over-year was driven by…

Thank you, Rob, and good afternoon, everyone. First, I'd like to thank our clients, partners and employees for helping us deliver another strong quarter. Today, I'll provide an overview of our results for the third quarter and then discuss our outlook for Q4 and the fiscal year. We beat the high end of our revenue range and our adjusted EBITDA guidance and are raising our full year revenue and adjusted EBITDA margin expectations despite the external macro headwind. At the midpoint, we are a Rule of 40 company, as defined as revenue less ancillary services growth plus adjusted EBITDA margin. Turning to our performance this quarter, starting with revenue. Revenue less ancillary services was $151.4 million in Q3, representing a 29.6% year-over-year growth rate despite a high single-digit percentage point headwind related to our Canadian higher education business. Q3 revenue came in above expectations, beating our midpoint, driven primarily by 2 factors. First, the education vertical was stronger compared to our expectations during the peak tuition season, in particular, from a strong UK performance. As noted before, while we try to anticipate the timing of Q3 versus Q4 in tuition payments, there are small shifts in seasonality every year, with this year seeing a stronger-than-expected Q3 timing. Second, FX rates created a tailwind of approximately $2.5 million during the quarter as the U.S. dollar continued to weaken versus the 6/30 spot rates. We continue to see strong volume growth with total payment volumes during the quarter reaching $11 billion, nearly double the average TPV of the prior 2 quarters and growing 24% year-over-year, driven by a strong education peak season reflecting the strength and scale of our platform and operational capabilities. From a monetization standpoint, our spreads have remained relatively consistent and in line with the last several reporting quarters.…

We will now begin the question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] And our first question today will come from Darrin Peller with Wolfe Research. Please go ahead with your question.

Hey, guys, thank you. Maybe just start off with, first of all, the customer adds continue to trend well. And so maybe if you could help us understand the 200-plus adds, breaking it down by some category verticals you're seeing traction, whether it's travel or education still. And obviously, just reminding us what's driving those new adds? And then maybe just a little more color on the subsegment strength. Again, obviously, the nuances on the government impacts from Australia and Canada, but putting that aside, I mean, how the growth is really trending in the education side would be helpful. Thank you.

Yeah. Darrin, I can jump in and start with that. So let me start with your point on the customers and then talk a little bit more broadly about the verticals. So as you called out, once again, another quarter with over 200 net new additions. For each of the past couple of calls, I've outlined whether it was EDU or travel that came out on the top as the numbers have been relatively close for a sequence of quarters. This time, travel came out slightly above EDU, but if you look in both of them, we saw the kind of diversity that we like across the client wins. So focusing first on the travel, they were across our subsegments and nicely distributed. If you look in EDU, they were distributed across our subsegments, but also very broadly distributed geographically, right, wins in the Americas, wins in Europe and wins across the Asia Pacific region. Healthcare, it's always a much smaller number of deals, but positive deals there. And we did call out in my comments that the B2B wins were actually up notably over Q3 in the prior year. So overall, the other question you often ask is around ARR. Average ARR per deal was down just a bit, but still feeling good about where we are on our progress for the year. If you add up progress over the last couple of quarters plus these results for Q3. So if you look at that, that was the customer count and a little bit of analysis there. If you want to talk about the verticals, again, felt good about our vertical progress. So education growing right in line with the company average. If you look at B2B growing meaningfully above the company average on an organic basis and even more if you take into account the contribution from Invoiced. If you look in the travel business, again, continuing to grow very nicely and happy to call out healthcare as having a return to growth, albeit modest growth, we're happy to see that result.

That's encouraging to hear, especially on the healthcare side. I appreciate that. And just thinking about the opportunities and what you see in the market from a regulatory landscape standpoint, I mean, anything you can help us with understanding in terms of incremental risks or you think we have a pretty good handle on where things are now from what we saw the last couple of quarters already. Just anything new, I guess, on your side?

Yeah. I mean I'll sort of hit the high points of some of my comments. Look, the 2 countries that this is a conversation about are predominantly Canada and Australia. In Canada, what we've seen is that there's both a political stress associated with the large corridor there, which is the India to Canada corridor as well as the Canadian government continuing to basically hold the tone of a relatively firm policy there that would limit students. So the high point of what I called out there or the key point, I should say, is that the effect of all that has been meaningful demand destruction in terms of the number of students that are applying and therefore, having the chance to go against that cap. If you look what it means for us, we continue to execute very well in Canada in terms of new client acquisition, in terms of land and expand, like all of our usual things continue to work. And so you can think of that relatively flat as being the product of continuing to expand with and land new clients. But in an environment where you sort of think of that same-store sales as having the potential to still be negatively impacted by this demand destruction when we compare what we anticipate for next year versus the current year. In Australia, just to cover that, look, it's a very different thing, right? Canada, frankly, it's down to sort of high single-digit percentage of revenue. So it's not the size business. I would remind you that when we talked about this a year ago. But if you look at Australia, it's a mid- to high single-digit percentage of our revenue. But the climate there is not nearly as challenging as what I just described for Canada. So we've overall assumed that there'll be a moderation of the growth rate there. So it was well above the corporate average this year. We assume that it will go to at or below the corporate average next year but continue overall to be a growth market for us.

And Darrin, this is Mike. I'll just jump in, and I'll cover the U.S. As I know there's a lot of questions probably coming out around just the U.S. administrative change. I think there have been positive comments, time to continue to watch what policy could evolve. But there's been positive comments around supporting legal immigration, potentially even green card ownership for international students, which would be a positive. The U.S. is the #1 market. And as you look at places like Canada and Australia potentially being restrictive, I think the U.S. has an opportunity to grow. And obviously, we're going to watch that market closely as well just in the global numbers of international students.

Very helpful. Thank you.

And our next question will come from John Davis with Raymond James. Please go ahead.

Good afternoon, guys. Cosmin and Mike, I just wanted to put together 2 of your comments in the release and in the prepared remarks, Cosmin, you talked about continuing to be a Rule of 40 company. And then Mike, I think you said you expect to double the business over the next several years. But given margin guidance this year is about 16% and what your mid-term targets are, we can think about margins probably being in the 20-ish percent range next year. So I think doubling the business over the next, call it, 3 years would imply kind of mid-20s growth. But just any comments on how we should think about the growth algorithm of the business from here, understanding you've got some headwinds from Australia heading into '25?

Yeah. I'll start, and Cosmin will probably jump in and talk a little bit about just how people should think about the framework. Obviously, we think we put up some pretty good numbers so far for this year. I mean, near 26% growth. That's with a $30 million headwind that was unexpected. Obviously, really strong record of expanding margins continued year-on-year for us. And so I think anybody can kind of add what that headwind is into our number and see where our growth rate would have been. It would have been also even better than we're doing here, but we're doing that with a pretty significant headwind. We mentioned in some of the comments, and Rob mentioned just in his last answer, there's no snapback we're expecting coming from Canada. It's likely to improve over time. So obviously, we're not guiding '25 yet, but I think people should consider us a Rule of 40 company with increasing EBITDA margin expansion, as you said, within our prior range. And I'll let Cosmin maybe unpack a little more of the framework.

Yeah. Thanks, JD. So the way to think about -- as we look at next year, first, as I said, look, long term, Rule of 40 and continuing to drive strong revenue growth, I think as you look at this year, in particular, I think it's a good starting point. And think of -- let me start with revenue, then I'll double-click into margins a little bit, like you said, right? So revenue is at 26% at the point in Q4, very similar to full year. And as I've said in my remarks, about roughly 2 points of that is from inorganic growth and call it another low sort of single-digit is from FX. Obviously, in Q4, that's a little bit more. You've seen FX moving around quite a bit. I still plan to start guiding with FX neutral next year. But net-net, when you look at the combination of that sort of on an FX-neutral organic basis, we're in the low 20s there plus. But again, really strong growth for the year. Then as you look at next in terms of margin, margin this year, just to clarify, adjusted EBITDA margin is 16%. And we've said historically that we're going to grow 300 to 600 bps. As you look into next year, we feel comfortable as usual, kind of starting at the low end of that and ensuring that we continue investing, as I've said, in many different areas for us. So overall, feel good about that Rule of 40. Obviously, we're well in that even this year with an 8-point headwind. And so as we exit the quarter, look, we're not giving 2025 guidance right now. But we're going to get through sort of the December peak season, and we'll see how it kind of plays out as we do our usual planning cycle. But feel really, really good about kind of where we are as a business. And despite all of these pressures, the team is executing at a sort of admirable pace. So very excited about the future.

Okay. Great. And then just as a quick follow-up. Mike, a little bit on capital allocation. Obviously, you have $600 million, $700 million of cash on the balance sheet. Maybe talk a little bit about the M&A pipeline and how you guys think about M&A versus buyback kind of given where the stock is trading?

Yeah, sure. And even following up to your other question. Obviously, M&A is an accelerant to what we just talked about as well as you look forward, not something we're including in that -- in those numbers. So I think if you look at just capital allocation, I mean, we put $70 million into investment in Q3, right, between Invoiced plus the buyback program. And again, we feel like we're in a unique position to be able to invest in our business still significantly, continue to evaluate and potentially execute M&A and then be aggressive with our buyback. And so again, the M&A pillars still hold true for us. How do we accelerate existing industry solutions we're in? How do we find additional solutions that we think can help drive NRR, further an existing client relationship and upsells and potentially where to expand into new industries or geographies. The challenging part is you've got to find a company that doesn't take you off your technology vision, doesn't take you off your growth and your profitability trajectory, that culturally fits and that actually has some level of logic in the way it wants to be valued. And you have to be able to execute all that when it comes to M&A. So we think we're in a great spot for it having pulled off the Invoiced acquisition, which continues to grow well in Q3, having done $23 plus million of buyback, and we're in a good position to be able to continue to do all 3 of those things.

Thanks.

And our next question will come from Tim Chiodo with UBS. Please go ahead.

This is Pat Ennis on for Tim. Thanks for taking the question. I heard your prepared remarks on the strength from the U.K. education vertical, which is definitely encouraging. Wanted to revisit the WPM acquisition briefly. Could you maybe just update us on where you are in terms of implementations there with the roughly 170 university and college clients they had? I believe the last we heard was around 55 clients as of Q2 2023? And then just as a follow-up, is most of the opportunity now there that remains on the domestic education payment side outside of growing with existing customers?

Yeah. This is Rob. I'll start and others may chime in. So I think it's important to understand sort of what WPM did and what WPM didn't do, right? So WPM was helpful for us in terms of its ability to help us establish relationships with more institutions. But the business itself was essentially a relatively flat revenue business. All of the growth has come from implementing Flywire capabilities inside a set of institutions there. And as we described all along, that was an evolutionary path where we expected we would start with the ability to do cross-border. We would move from there to being able to increasingly do domestic and it's gone exactly as we would have expected in that regard with the opportunity for us to keep going, right? So we've increasingly picked up domestic. We are implementing what we call sort of our one-door strategy of trying to move more and more of the payment volume for each of these schools and continuing to bring new software capabilities from Flywire into the market. And so that is the sort of dynamic that has generated the positive results in the UK. So we're certainly increasing our footprint. My comment was that of the growth in this past quarter that two third of it came from growing with existing clients, one third from new clients, and we believe we've got lots of new clients to go and lots of growth to continue to achieve within the installed base.

And our next question will come from Nate Svensson with Deutsche Bank. Please go ahead.

Hi, guys. Thanks for taking the question. Cosmin, you talked a lot recently about focusing on things like free cash flow and profitability. And I guess in your prepared remarks, you mentioned sort of sustained GAAP net income goal. So I know it's early days, but maybe you could give us some thoughts on how you're thinking about disclosures or guidance across these metrics as we head into '25. And then kind of following up on JD's question earlier. If I think back to the 2022 Investor Day where you laid out your mid-term growth target, I don't know if you've given any consideration to maybe providing an update to the street on when you see normalized growth, particularly given all the moving pieces in the business in Canada and Australia, et cetera, just to help us draw a line in the sand with regards to the future growth profile from here.

Okay. Let me start with your first 2 questions on free cash flow and profitability, and now I'll pass it maybe back to Mike on the last part. So starting with the free cash flow profitability, as you can see, still a strong performance in Q3 and even for this year, obviously, after a strong Q3, we feel like we're on track to get to that net GAAP -- net income GAAP profitability as we go into next year. And the way to think about that is you've heard us talk about we're not just obviously still growing revenue at a solid pace, growing gross profit, but underneath that, we're looking, as you can see at each and every line item on our OpEx and managing that as we've always done sort of with great discipline and applying even more rigor as we look at the metrics there. As you look at adjusted EBITDA all the way down to free cash flow and net income, we also are looking at stock-based comp, for example, which is kind of the other big line item between those 2. And that's again another metric where as we pass the 4-year anniversary of our IPO, and again, looking at that as a percent of revenue, we've been already sort of -- we're in the range kind of, of our peers kind of in the middle, maybe even better, depending on how you look at it as far as stock-based comp as a percent of revenue. And as we look ahead, certainly, as we pass the IPO sort of anniversary next year, we expect that percent to start to moderate and start to come down. So again, we're managing all those components well to -- so then which gives us that confidence around the GAAP net income profitability going forward. So -- and to wrap up on your question around disclosures, again, you'll see us started a bit this quarter, but you'll see us much more provide those kind of breakdowns of what those are and the forecast behind those, including tying back to free cash flow and GAAP net income. So -- but feel good kind of where the year is exiting there and as we look ahead.

Yeah, just on the FY '25 and looking forward, obviously, not guiding for next year yet. But you should obviously be looking at this year. And there's no snapback we're expecting for a place like Canada, to kind of come back, right? So that in itself takes you off that 30% number as we've been clear about all year. And I think as we look forward, you can expect that to kind of improve over time from obviously the big reduction down in a market like Canada. And again, we think we're building a pretty great company here with strong Rule of 40 growth and profitability, and that's what we expect for the future.

That's great color, guys. For my follow-up, maybe we can talk about the education business from a higher picture perspective. Obviously, so much time spent discussing Canada and Australia, and obviously, a ton of focus on the U.S. and UK given the size of those markets. But I think Rob in his prepared remarks, talked about the strength in emerging destinations. So maybe you could take a step back and talk about some of the areas whether you're currently in or areas for international expansion in the future that you're excited about that maybe could help accelerate growth rates as we think about Flywire's profile in the education business over the medium to long term, whether that's Europe, LatAm, anywhere else you're excited about?

Yeah. Happy to take that. So in fact, really welcome the question because we talk so much about these couple of countries. But in fact, the education is a very global opportunity, and we are a very globally capable company with the ability to grow in many places. So we don't talk about the individual countries of Europe so much because individually, they sort of don't rank as high on the table. But collectively, that's a major market and an opportunity where we play very well. If you look in Latin America, we've called out in prior comments, in particular, our interest in Mexico. We believe that's a substantial market and believe we are building and delivering the right capabilities to continue to grow there. And across APAC, whether it's Japan, I guess we talked a bit about Australia, but a number of the other markets there are all meaningful opportunities for us to continue. And again, it's the cross-border capabilities, it's the domestic capabilities in some of our emerging products as well.

Thank you. Appreciate it.

And our next question will come from Andrew Bauch with Wells Fargo. Please go ahead.

Thanks for taking question. You mentioned that third quarter benefited from more of the education volumes falling into the quarter versus fourth quarter of last year. And I know some of that was timing around the weekend, could we get a sense of the size of that impact on what was in versus out versus the previous 4Q guide? And then my follow-up will be on the student financial software. I think the deck really lays it out on how you have this holistic approach. And could you kind of compare and contrast the monetization opportunity for institutions that are adopting student financial software versus those that aren't.

Yeah. So this is Mike. I'll jump in. So you can think of the low single-digit millions. It's kind of that $1 million or so kind of around that area that is on that kind of crossover line. Remember, Q3 to Q4, you just have bill due dates that are out on that period of time, right? So that $1 million to $2 million is kind of this line that can cross into Q3 and Q4, just when based on the bill due dates are out, whether people are paying early or paying later for those bills. That's the same dynamic that exists for Q4 into Q1, right? And so as you go back and think of Cosmin's comments around the second half, it's really important to understand when we talk about that second half, you don't always know exactly how that's going to fall into Q3 or Q4. And that same dynamic exists for Q4, Q1, right? And so our best assumption based on how we see those due dates coming out at our clients, but we don't control when people pay and we don't control the bill due date for those quarters.

And I can jump in and talk a little bit about sort of the student SFS software. So the reason why we get excited about that opportunity is it is a revenue multiplier for most of the schools where we get deployed. Someone who deploys that full SFS suite is going to sign up with us and the combination of revenue streams for us is sort of license -- SaaS-style license revenue plus payment plan revenue associated with the payment plans that students choose to set up plus there's a volume of card activity associated with those that choose to pay with cards. So all those are revenue streams for us, all of those at healthy margins, and that's why we are so eager to continue our land and expand where we get more clients to sign up for that full SFS suite. I'd remind you that we're relatively lowly penetrated in our installed base. So at sort of single-digit percentage penetrated in that installed base, there's a lot of opportunity to grow and felt really good about the momentum and the activity, I guess, even the vibe at our Fly Fusion event where we did our first full customer event here in the U.S., bringing together a whole range of clients where they could hear more about our capabilities and really get that picture of everything we could do for them.

Thanks for the opportunity. Thanks guys.

And our next question will come from James Faucette with Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead.

Thanks very much. And sorry if you've already addressed some of this. I'm jumping around. But I wanted to ask in terms of your NRR and retention is that's obviously a massive component of growth, even though a lot of times that doesn't get the attention versus some of the other drivers. Can you just talk about like what the -- how we should think about the composition of that revenue retention metric right now? And then how we should be anticipating that should evolve over 2025 and beyond long term. I think that's one of the things that we get a lot of questions from investors on is the durability of that growth?

Yeah. Let me jump in there and Mike may jump in at the end here. So let me take sort of the second part first, James, which was just to talk about sort of where we are on NRR and then I'll come back to sort of the components of it and the durability of those dynamics. So I think this -- on these calls, you all have been quite accustomed to us talking about NRR and the range in which NRR is falling and -- or is landing. And what we are happy to say is like if you take out Canada and all the effects of Canada that we've talked about already on the call, NRR for all the rest of the business continues to perform sort of inside that historical range. So just a bit over the 120% that we've called out on many previous calls. And so if you take into account Canada, which when we share future NRR and do some of our usual reporting, you'll see that will take an effect on the overall corporate NRR. It would have to given the effects taking place in Canada, and that will bring it down. But the drivers of NRR remain as strong as ever. So if you didn't have sort of this particular effect associated with Canada, you point to the drivers of NRR and we'd say, first, there's everything we do sort of around adoption and utilization and best practices within existing clients, that continues to be one of the primary elements of it. The activity that's driven by our agent investment and network and all of those dimensions continue to perform very well for us, and we believe will continue going forward. Second dimension was everything we do around sort of product expansion as part of our land and expand. I just talked about the domestic, we do that across all our verticals. Hospitals do things like Banner One, schools do the things like the Art Institute that I referenced earlier in the comment. So that product expansion has always been, and we expect will continue to be the second key driver of NRR. And the third piece is expanding with the profile of our customers. So it is frequently the case across each of our verticals that you win some portion of their business before you get the chance to win all of it. So imagine B2B giving us one or a few subsidiaries or corridors before they give us even more of their opportunity, similar concept across the other verticals. And we believe that is very much the continuing dynamic for Flywire as well. So all the underlying strengths and dynamics of our NRR are there, and we expect they'll persist healthily going forward.

That's great. And then just wanted to -- just on the point around agents. I mean, that's something that we're hearing that a lot of schools themselves are increasing direct engagement with, et cetera. How does that impact, if at all, your using of that channel to try to drive growth if -- is that something that makes sense to collaborate with the schools and their increased engagement with agents? Or is it just better left to be run in parallel?

James, it's Mike. There's a great opportunity for us. I mean if you think of what Rob had talked about around the StudyLink asset as well as what we've done with agents and payment processing, it's a huge opportunity when it comes to how we're engaging our clients. As we said back in the StudyLink acquisition timeframe, we don't think its limits are in Australia, and there's other geographies in which that product will help schools better connect to the agent community and help drive more student awareness to their university. And we think that's going to be a growing need in the market. And so we're excited to have those assets and already doing it now.

We have time for one more question, and that will come from Andrew Schmidt with Citigroup. Please go ahead.

Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my questions. Good to see the stability and growth here. Maybe I could just go back to SFS. It was really good to see the stat broken out here. If you could just talk about whether you're seeing a higher attach rate on new wins in education that would be great. And then going back to the base is obviously a big opportunity. Maybe talk about just how the sales motion there has evolved and if there's opportunity to just accelerate the growth and the penetration there. Thanks so much.

Yeah, this is Rob. As I mentioned in one of my comments, we are seeing some acceleration in the pace of those wins and we're also doing things to try to further that acceleration, right? So we have made changes in our go-to-market team. We feel very good about some of the talent that we have brought in, including sales leadership for that U.S. EDU opportunity. Of course, we feel good about our leadership in other markets as well. And the second thing there is efforts like the Fly Fusion event are meaningful in terms of getting people to understand the opportunity. I think there are, for many, an understanding of what we do, but this was a chance to really present those capabilities way more clearly to an audience that can influence the pace of wins. So we feel we're doing a lot in that go-to-market set of motions to increase the pace there and continue to believe that we absolutely have the best platform and technology out there. And so our job and our intention is to go out and make sure people get that, and sign on with Flywire.

Got it. And then maybe just going back to Australia. I appreciate the comments on expecting moderation in growth. But just a finer point on that, does that assume that caps go into place in Australia? Or does it assume the status quo? And then obviously, a big offset something you guys have leveraged over time is increasing penetration. It still seems like there's a lot of opportunity down there to continue to drive that. So maybe just the -- what the assumptions are behind the moderating growth and then ability to improve the penetration on the other side. Any details around those items would be great. Thank you so much.

Yeah. Good points, both of them. So as things stand currently in Australia, the proposal has not been formally approved. We are working under the assumption that they will move forward with the regulations as proposed and/or that sort of that -- there will be some implication or impact of the way those regulations are being put forward. So that's sort of the underlying assumption there. But you're right, the other thing about Australia is it's a big opportunity for us to continue to grow. So there's our traditional cross-border business, there's the ability to present StudyLink, and we also have the capabilities that we acquired via Cohort Go. All of those are opportunities to continue to look for places where we can grow the business. StudyLink is a great platform, very popular in Australia and with continuing growth opportunities there and on sort of core Flywire, lots of schools still to sign up.

That’s super helpful. Thank you so much.

And we actually do have a little bit more time to take another question, and that will come from Cris Kennedy with William Blair. Please go ahead.

Great. Thanks for squeezing me in here. Can you just talk a little bit more about the healthcare vertical, some growth, and just talk about what you guys have done to improve the growth there? Thank you.

I think this one comes to me as well. It's Rob speaking. We were really pleased to be able to see the healthcare business return to growth. The thing that was great about it was that we continued to please clients, serve them well, drive ROI and get the opportunity to grow with clients. Banner One that we talked about on the call being a perfect example, but there are others that are bringing us more of their facilities and more opportunities to keep growing with them. Second piece was adding new clients, also successful in that. Now we don't want to kind of call this too, too much in the sense that we're also indicating, hey, this is a business that, as we continue to improve, will be a growth business, but a moderate growth relative to the overall Flywire business, but we feel really good about some of the motions that we have in market and feel good about our team and are, again, grateful to see the second half growth.

Great. Thanks for taking question.

And that concludes our question-and-answer session in addition to today's call. We want to thank you for attending today's presentation, and you may now disconnect your lines.
