Getaround Reports Strong 3Q 2023 Results with 42% Year-Over-Year Growth in Revenue

Getaround (NYSE: GETR), the world's first connected carsharing marketplace, today announced financial results for the period ended September 30, 2023.

“Getaround is now the leader in gig car sharing. We believe our performance in the third quarter marked an inflection point in our growth as a company, with a significant increase in total revenues over 2022, achieving an annualized revenue run-rate of $95 million,” said Sam Zaid, CEO and Founder of Getaround. “We’ve greatly improved our unit economics as we’ve cycled through a few quarters of our TrustScore A.I. and made significant progress reducing our cost structure. We remain hyper-focused on delivering profitable growth, expanding our margins, narrowing our losses, and achieving our profitability goals, which we expect will drive value for our shareholders.”

2023 Business Highlights

• Announced restructuring plan in February to reduce costs by $25 million-$30 million annually, streamlining operations and increasing efficiency
• Acquired highly synergistic HyreCar assets in May, which we believe will accelerate our path to profitability
• Launched TrustScore A.I., which is expected to enhance our gross margin and carsharing marketplace safety
• Formed a strategic alliance with TransUnion, which is expected to enhance risk management capabilities and Getaround marketplace economics

Full Year 2023 Outlook

For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, the Company expects:

• Gross Booking Value to be in the range of $200 million to $205 million
• Adjusted EBITDA loss to be in the range of $68 million to $70 million

The Company estimates that 2023 full year operating expenses include approximately $22 million of costs that are not expected to recur in 2024. These costs include heightened professional fees and capital markets expenses following our business combination at the end of 2022, together with the full benefit of restructuring initiatives that were completed throughout the year.

The guidance provided above constitutes forward-looking statements and actual results may differ materially. Refer to the “Forward-Looking Statements” safe harbor section below for information on the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and excludes estimates for, among other things, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, contingent compensation expense, and certain expenses determined to be incurred outside of the regular course of business. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial guidance measure to a corresponding GAAP financial guidance measure is not available on a forward-looking basis because the Company does not provide guidance on GAAP Net Loss and is not able to present the various reconciling cash and non-cash items between GAAP Net Loss and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA without unreasonable effort. In particular, stock-based compensation expense is impacted by the Company’s future hiring and retention needs, as well as the future fair market value of its common stock, all of which is difficult to predict and is subject to change. The actual amount of these expenses during 2023 will have a significant impact on the Company’s future GAAP financial results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Net Marketplace Value, Trip Contribution Profit, Trip Contribution Margin and Adjusted EBITDA. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and future results. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand and manage our business and forecast future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from definitions used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. In addition, other companies may not publish these or similar financial measures. Furthermore, these financial measures have certain limitations in that they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our consolidated statements of operations that are necessary to run our business. Thus, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or in isolation from, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Our non-GAAP Financial measures are described as follows:

Net Marketplace Value. Net Marketplace Value (NMV) represents the dollar value of all transactions on our platform contributing to service revenue during a period, charged to both guests and hosts, net of cancellations, hosts’ earnings, incentives, and pass-throughs.

Trip Contribution Profit and Trip Contribution Margin. Trip Contribution Profit is defined as our gross profit from Service revenue adjusted for: (i) cost of Service revenue, amortization and depreciation; and (ii) trip support costs, which consist of auto insurance expenses, claims support and customer relations costs. We define Trip Contribution Margin as Trip Contribution Profit divided by Service revenue recognized during the period presented.

Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for: (i) fair value adjustment of instruments carried at fair value; (ii) interest income (expense) and other income (expense); (iii) income tax provision; (iv) depreciation and amortization; (v) stock-based compensation expense; (vi) contingent compensation; and (vii) certain expenses determined to be incurred outside of the regular course of business which includes: certain legal settlements and business combination-related legal fees, and investments in preparation of going public, initial implementation projects and transaction costs associated with proposed business combinations that are not subject to deferral.
