NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Roadzen Inc. (Nasdaq: RDZN), a global pioneer in next-generation auto insurance powered by AI, today reported its quarterly earnings for the third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2023. The company reported revenue of $15.64 million, an increase of 372% from revenue of $3.32 million in the same quarter last year.

Rohan Malhotra, Co-Founder and CEO of Roadzen, stated, "This quarter's performance is a testament to Roadzen’s strength as a leading provider of AI-driven insurance and mobility solutions. We are pleased with the balance we have achieved with 52% of our revenue coming from brokerage sales and 48% from our Insurance as a Service (IaaS) technology platform sales. This showcases the depth of our business plan and our ability to land-and-expand multiple products within our customer base."

Roadzen posted a net loss of $30.57 million for the quarter, impacted by $26.5 million in non-cash, non-recurring, and extraordinary items. When adjusted for these factors, the Adjusted EBITDA loss stood at $3.1 million, 14% lower compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $3.6 million in the previous quarter.

Roadzen's cutting-edge AI uniquely positions us as the preferred partner for insurers, fleets and carmakers aiming to innovate their auto insurance offerings. At the end of the fiscal quarter ended December 31 2023, Roadzen had 92 enterprise customers (including carriers, automotive, self-insureds, and large fleets) and approximately 3,200 SMB customers including fleets, agents, brokers and dealerships. The company made progress on several other notable objectives this quarter - continuing its leadership in AI research as a founding member of the AI Alliance alongside industry leaders, bolstering Roadzen’s global leadership team with key hires, and achieving growth across the US, UK, EU and India.

“Our priority remains threefold,” added Mr. Malhotra, “continued growth in our key global markets, pushing the boundaries of AI at the intersection of mobility and insurance, and enhancing our position as a strategic partner to the world’s leading insurers, carmakers, and fleets."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes the impact of finance costs, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other items from reported net profit or loss. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA aids investors by providing an operating profit/loss without the impact of non- cash depreciation and amortization and certain other items to help clarify sustainability and trends affecting the business. For comparability of reporting, management considers non-GAAP measures in conjunction with U.S. GAAP financial results in evaluating business performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not purport to represent cash flow provided by, or used for, operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be used as a measure of liquidity.

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for financial information presented under GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures versus comparable financial measures determined under GAAP. For example, other companies in our industry may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance. These limitations could reduce the usefulness of these non-GAAP financial measures as analytical tools. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and to not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
