HyreCar Announces Record Second Quarter Results

Revenues Increase 67% to $3.8 Million; Gross Profit Increases 114% to $2.3 Million

LOS ANGELES, August 14, 2019 – HyreCar Inc. (NASDAQ: HYRE), the carsharing marketplace for ridesharing, today reported financial results and provided a corporate update for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019.

“HyreCar’s second quarter revenues grew to $3.8 million, even as we continued to improve and expand every aspect of our partnerships and platform,” said Joe Furnari, Chief Executive Officer of HyreCar. “We continued to see growth in car supply in our top key markets through our new dealer initiatives.”

“Building car capacity and scaling dealer relationships were the main themes of our dealer initiatives in the second quarter, as evidenced by the now 170 commercial accounts who have listed more than 2,300 cars on our platform. As we grow larger commercial accounts we will be able to match our growing demand that saw over 30,000 driver leads last month and is projected to grow substantially in the future.”

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Discussion

Total revenue in the second quarter of 2019 increased 67%, to a record $3.8 million, compared to $2.3 million, in the second quarter of 2018. The revenue increase was driven primarily by a higher Net Revenue Margin associated with two new subscription tiers launched in the second quarter, while rental days were flatter and grew to approximately 140,000 during the second quarter and are now at an annualized run rate of over 550,000 rental days.

Gross profit in the second quarter of 2019 increased to a record $2.3 million, or 60.8% of revenues, compared to $1.08 million, or 47.3% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2018. Margin expansion was driven by a higher average net revenue margin and a reduced cost of insurance in the second quarter.

Total operating expenses, consisting of research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses, were $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared to $4.2 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increased staffing expenses and advertising to support higher revenue and includes $0.6 million in non-cash stock-based compensation costs.

Net loss in the second quarter of 2019 totaled $2.0 million, or $(0.17) per share, compared to a net loss of $5.0 million, or $(0.92) per share, in the prior year’s quarter. Adjusted net loss for the second quarter after excluding certain non-cash stock-based compensation for employee compensation and legal expenses was $1.4 million, or $(0.11) per share. A reconciliation of net income to adjusted net income per share is included within this press release.

Cash totaled $5.1 million at June 30, 2019, compared to $6.8 million at December 31, 2018. Subsequent to a successful secondary offering in July 2019, the Company had approximately $15.0 million in cash and cash equivalents so has sufficient cash resources to continue operations indefinitely.

Additional Second Quarter 2019 Highlights

●

Launched an owner web portal to enable dealers and small fleet owners to onboard and manage their entire fleet of vehicles in a simple to use platform.

●

Developed new tiered insurance product to address consumers request for expanded coverage on their vehicle’s insurance and lower deductible options.

●

Expanded the customer service team to create improved first call resolution and expanded hours of service.

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.

(1)

To calculate adjusted net income, we calculate net income then add back amortization (but not depreciation), stock-based compensation and related costs, and other items that are not part of regular operating activities,. We have included adjusted net income in this report because it is a key performance measure used by our management to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends and because we believe it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of our company. Other companies may calculate this measure differently than we do. Adjusted net income has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or substitution for earnings per share as reported under GAAP.

(2)

Adjusted net income per share is computed by dividing adjusted net income by the total number of diluted shares of our common stock for each period. We have included adjusted net income per share in this report because it is a key measure used by our management to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends and because we believe it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies. Other companies may calculate this measure differently than we do. Adjusted net income per share has limitations as an analytical.
