LOS ANGELES, May 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EVmo, Inc. (OTC: YAYO), a leading provider of vehicles to the rideshare and delivery gig economy industry, today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Key Highlights:

• Record 1Q 2023 revenue of $3.8 million, up 57% compared to 1Q 2022 revenue of $2.4 million due to more cars on the platform and higher rental rates
• Generated positive adjusted EBITDA of $263 thousand in 1Q 2023, or 7%, compared to negative EBITDA of $248 thousand in 1Q 2022
• 60% of customers are renting for more than 80 consecutive days
• EVs and hybrids are now 35% of the Company’s vehicle fleet

“We are pleased to deliver another quarter of record revenues and our second quarter of positive adjusted EBITDA as it highlights the viability and strength of our business model. Demand for our offerings remains high and we continue to focus on fleet management and delivering for our customers,” commented Stephen Sanchez, CEO of EVmo.

“The executive team is continuing to work with our lender, EICF Agent LLC, and we are also exploring multiple options to address their notice. However, the Company is unable to provide any additional information or make comments at this time given that this is an ongoing discussion and negotiation.”

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results:

• Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $3.8 million, up 56% from $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2022. The year-over-year revenue growth was driven primarily by an increase in the Company’s fleet and higher daily rental rates on newer and high-demand cars.
• Gross profit, excluding vehicle depreciation, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $1.6 million or 42%, up from $612 thousand or 42% in 2022 due to expense controls and operating efficiencies with the larger fleet of vehicles
• General and Administrative expenses were $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, up from $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2022 primarily due to $1.2 million of non-recurring legal and settlement expenses related to the Bellridge Capital lawsuit.
• Net loss totaled $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the net loss of $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2022. The larger loss was attributable to the legal and settlement costs and also higher interest expenses.   

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. See the reconciliations of these measures to their respective most directly comparable GAAP measure below in this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the Company presents certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, specifically EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because the Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in seeing the Company’s operating results through the eyes of management and because the Company believes that these measures provide a useful tool for investors to use in assessing the Company’s operating performance against prior period operating results and against business objectives. The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.

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.
