Third Quarter 2019 Financial Discussion

Total revenue in the third quarter of 2019 increased 38%, to a record $3.7 million, compared to $2.7 million, in the third quarter of 2018. Revenue growth in the third quarter was primarily driven by increased booking revenue that rose 4.3% during the quarter as net rental days increased from approximately 140,000 in the second quarter to approximately 146,000 in the third quarter. Revenues were also impacted by a reduction in new driver incentives, seasonality and timing of commercial car supply onto the platform.

Gross profit in the third quarter of 2019 increased to a record $2.3 million, or 63% of revenues, compared to $1.5 million, or 54% of revenues, in the third quarter of 2018. Margin expansion was driven by a higher average net revenue margin and a reduced cost of insurance in the third quarter.

Total operating expenses, consisting of sales and marketing, general and administrative, and research and development expenses, were $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2019, compared to $3.2 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increased staffing expenses, marketing and insurance claims payments, and includes $0.7 million in non-cash stock-based compensation costs.

Net loss in the third quarter of 2019 totaled $3.6 million, or $(0.24) per share, compared to a net loss of $1.8 million, or $(0.15) per share, in the prior year’s quarter. Adjusted net loss for the third quarter, after excluding certain non-cash stock-based compensation for employee compensation and legal expenses was $3.0 million, or $(0.20) per share. A reconciliation of net income to adjusted net income per share is included within this press release.

Cash totaled $13.1 million at September 30, 2019. This represented an increase of $8.0 million from $5.1 million at the prior quarter ended June 30, 2019 and an increase of $6.4 million during the first half of the fiscal year from $6.8 million at December 31, 2018. This increase was primarily the result of completion of a secondary offering in July 2019 so has sufficient cash resources to continue operations indefinitely.

Additional Third Quarter 2019 Highlights

• New drivers to the platform in Q3 2019 were up 54% year over year.
• Number of cars rented on our platform from commercial partners increased 85% from Q2 2019 to Q3 2019, and from September 2019 to October 2019 commercial bookings grew 98% sequentially.
• Customer Satisfaction Rates continue to improve as industry leading answer rates greater than 90% and claims resolution times reduced due to improved processes.
• Technological improvements to security architecture, backend systems to ensure scalability of the HyreCar platform, and reduction of technology costs through code optimizations.
• Commercial inventory has begun to accelerate with the onboarding of two large regional rental fleet partners with over 200 vehicles in Q3.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement HYRE’s financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, HYRE presents certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, adjusted EPS. These non-GAAP financial measures, which are defined below, should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies.

HYRE is presenting these non-GAAP financial measures to assist investors in seeing HYRE’s operating results through the eyes of management and because HYRE’s believes that these measures provide a useful tool for investors to use in assessing HYRE’s operating performance against prior period operating results and against business objectives. HYRE uses the non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.

The accompanying tables provide more detail on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures described above and the related reconciliations between these financial measures. HYRE has not reconciled adjusted EPS guidance to GAAP net income or GAAP net income per diluted share, respectively, because HYRE does not provide guidance for the reconciling items between these measures and GAAP net income or GAAP net income per diluted share, respectively. As certain of the items that impact GAAP net income and/or GAAP net income per diluted share cannot be reasonably predicted at this time, HYRE is unable to provide such guidance. Accordingly, a reconciliation to GAAP net income or GAAP net income per diluted share is not available without unreasonable effort.
