Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Discussion

Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2020 increased 42%, to a record $7.0 million, compared to $4.9 million, in the fourth quarter of 2019. Revenue growth in the fourth quarter was primarily driven by rental days increasing 41% to approximately 277,000, in the fourth quarter. Revenues were also impacted by the shutdown of California in the fourth quarter. Total operating expenses, consisting of sales and marketing, general and administrative, and research and development expenses, were $6.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $6.5 million in the same year-ago quarter. Operating expenses increased 29% from $4.7 million in the prior quarter. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in marketing, legal, and technology expenses.

Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2020 totaled $5.4 million, or ($0.31) per share, compared to a net loss of $4.9 million, or $(0.35) per share, in the prior year’s quarter. The adjusted net loss for the fourth quarter was $4.1 million, or $(0.23) per share. A reconciliation of net loss to adjusted net loss per share is included within this press release.

Full-Year 2020 Financial Discussion

Total revenue for the full year of 2020 increased 59%, to a record $25.2 million, compared to $15.9 million, in the full year of 2019. Revenue growth in the full year was primarily driven by increased rental days that rose 63% during the year as net rental days increased from approximately 621,000 in 2019 to approximately 1,014,000 in 2020.

Total operating expenses, consisting of sales and marketing, general and administrative, and research and development expenses were $23.5 million in the full year of 2020, compared to $18.7 million in the same period a year ago. This was primarily due to increased operations, sales, and technology expenses to drive higher business levels, and invest in operations and technology, in particular, to further accelerate the platform in 2021.

Net loss in the full year of 2020 totaled $15.2 million, or ($0.87) per share, compared to a net loss of $12.5 million, or $(0.90) per share, in the prior year.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee such outcomes. HyreCar may not realize its expectations, and its beliefs may not prove correct. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including, without limitation, market conditions and the factors described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in HyreCar’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and HyreCar’s other filings made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. All such statements speak only as of the date made. Consequently, forward-looking statements should be regarded solely as HyreCar’s current plans, estimates, and beliefs.

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, specifically 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 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.
