The transaction will mark Navan\u2019s first acquisition as a public company and extend the company\u2019s footprint deeper into Latin America, one of the largest and fastest-growing segments of the global corporate travel market.<\/p>\n<p id=\"news-body-cta\">This press release features multimedia.

By consolidating this historically fragmented spend onto a single, integrated interface, Navan delivers the unified experience and real-time spend visibility that modern finance teams demand.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cGlobal enterprises want a single, integrated travel platform, no matter where they\u2019re booking, and that\u2019s what the addition of Smartrips is all about,\u201d said Michael Sindicich, President of Navan. \u201cTogether, we will be able to better serve new and existing customers, and we know that we\u2019re such a great fit because we already partner together in Brazil, a critical market for any company with a global travel program. The combination of Navan\u2019s world-class technology with Smartrips&#8217; deep supplier relationships, local expertise, and IATA credentials will enable us to offer a level of service that legacy TMCs simply cannot match.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nBrazil is a top 10 global market and the largest for corporate travel in Latin America, accounting for an estimated 40% of travel spend in the region. With global enterprises demanding a seamless, AI-powered experience regardless of where employees are booking, the acquisition helps position Navan to capture a greater share of its $185 billion market opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWhen we founded Smartrips, we were impressed by the cutting-edge solutions available in the United States and Europe. We\u2019ve been inspired ever since to offer the same world-class service in Brazil,\u201d said Caio Artoni, Co-Founder and CEO of Smartrips. \u201cJoining Navan provides our customers with access to the most powerful travel and expense platform in the world, backed by local expertise they can count on. We have long admired what Navan has built, and we\u2019re proud to be joining them and bringing that experience to travelers in Brazil.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe acquisition of Smartrips will follow similar efforts by Navan over the past five years to expand internationally by acquiring market-leading local operators with deep supplier relationships. As it has done with Comtravo in Germany, Tripeur in India, and what it is currently in the process of doing with Reed &amp; Mackay in the UK, Navan will look to integrate Smartrips\u2019 capabilities onto its platform and extend its enterprise-grade experience to a new geography without sacrificing local expertise.<\/p>\n<p>\nThis transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal year 2027 and has no material impact to Navan\u2019s guidance shared on June 10, 2026. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
