Lyft Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year Results

Fourth quarter revenue of $570 million grew 14% quarter-over-quarter
Exceeded annualized fixed cost reduction target in Q4
Positioned for strong organic growth and margin expansion as the recovery takes hold

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lyft, Inc. (Nasdaq:LYFT) today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

“Despite the difficult backdrop in 2020, we continued to focus on improving our business for the long-term,” said Logan Green, co-founder and chief executive officer of Lyft. “The progress we’ve made has been significant and I believe we are now in a stronger position than at any time in our past. Even as we’ve strengthened our financial position, we’ve continued to fund strategic investments that build on our core competencies and on our marketplace flywheel, to lower costs and deliver more value to drivers, riders and partners.”

“In the fourth quarter, we successfully eliminated $360 million in fixed costs on an annualized basis versus our original 2020 plan, exceeding our target cost reduction by 20%,” said Brian Roberts, chief financial officer of Lyft. “Our Q4 results also outperformed our most recent outlook. And, while the first quarter of 2021 continues to be uncertain primarily due to COVID-19 headwinds, based on current recovery expectations, we should experience a growth inflection beginning in the second quarter that strengthens in the second half of the year.”

Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights

• Lyft reported Q4 2020 revenue of $569.9 million versus $1,017.1 million in Q4 2019, a decrease of 44 percent year-over-year, but an increase of 14 percent from $499.7 million in Q3 2020. Recovery trends seen in Q3 2020 continued into Q4 2020, but demand in the latter part of Q4 2020 was negatively affected by the surge in COVID-19 cases and the reintroduction of restrictive measures intended to curb the spread. As demand decreased, we reduced driver acquisition and engagement spend, which had a positive impact on our financial results.
• Net loss for Q4 2020 was $458.2 million versus a net loss of $356.0 million in Q4 2019. Net loss for Q4 2020 includes $138.1 million of stock-based compensation and related payroll tax expenses and $127.7 million related to changes to the liabilities for insurance required by regulatory agencies attributable to historical periods. Net loss margin for Q4 2020 was 80.4 percent compared to 35.0 percent in Q4 2019.
• Adjusted Net Loss¹ for Q4 2020 was $185.3 million versus an Adjusted Net Loss of $121.4 million in Q4 2019.
• Lyft reported Contribution¹ for Q4 2020 of $316.0 million versus $549.5 million in Q4 2019, down 43 percent year-over-year, but up 27 percent from $248.8 million in Q3 2020. Contribution Margin for Q4 2020 was 55.5 percent, which was up 1.5 percentage points year-over-year and up 5.7 percentage points versus Q3 2020. This compares with the Company's outlook of 51.5 to 52.5 percent².
• Adjusted EBITDA¹ loss for Q4 2020 was $150.0 million, an increase of $19.3 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA loss of $130.7 million in Q4 2019. The Adjusted EBITDA loss for Q4 2020 improved by $89.7 million relative to the Q3 2020 level and was roughly $35 million better than the Company’s most recent outlook for an Adjusted EBITDA loss of less than $185 million³. Adjusted EBITDA loss margin for Q4 2020 was 26.3 percent versus 12.9 percent in Q4 2019.
• Lyft reported $2.3 billion of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at December 31, 2020.

Fiscal Year 2020 Financial Highlights

• Lyft reported fiscal year 2020 revenue of $2.4 billion versus $3.6 billion in fiscal year 2019, a decrease of 35 percent year-over-year.
• Net loss for fiscal year 2020 was $1.8 billion versus a net loss of $2.6 billion in fiscal year 2019. Net loss for fiscal year 2020 includes $589.5 million of stock-based compensation and related payroll tax expenses and $204.1 million related to changes to the liabilities for insurance required by regulatory agencies attributable to historical periods. Net loss margin was 74.1 percent and 72.0 percent for the fiscal years 2020 and 2019, respectively.
• Adjusted Net Loss⁴ for fiscal year 2020 was $828.9 million versus an Adjusted Net Loss of $651.8 million in fiscal year 2019.
• Lyft reported Contribution⁴ for fiscal year 2020 of $1.2 billion versus $1.8 billion in fiscal year 2019, down 32.2 percent year-over-year. Contribution Margin for fiscal year 2020 increased to 52.0 percent from 50.1 percent for fiscal year 2019.
  
• Adjusted EBITDA⁴ loss for fiscal year 2020 was $755.2 million versus $678.9 million in fiscal year 2019. Adjusted EBITDA loss margin for fiscal year 2020 was 31.9 percent versus 18.8 percent in fiscal year 2019.
• In March 2020, we entered into a Novation Agreement that eliminated $407.9 million of our primary auto insurance liabilities related to periods between October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2018 for $64.7 million in transaction costs. This transaction eliminated nearly all of our primary auto insurance liabilities related to periods preceding October 2018. In October 2020, we expanded our insurance carrier partnerships and increased our risk transfer to a slight majority for the twelve months ended September 30, 2021 from a minority of risk transferred during the twelve months ended September 30, 2020.
• In April 2020, Lyft announced a restructuring effort to reduce operating expenses and adjust cash flows. Our restructuring charges in the second quarter of 2020 included $32.1 million of severance and related employee benefit costs and $3.1 million of lease terminations and other costs. Lyft also recognized a stock-based compensation benefit primarily related to the reversal of previously recognized stock-based compensation expenses for unvested awards of $49.8 million, resulting in a net restructuring benefit of $14.5 million. In November 2020, Lyft had a reduction in its workforce that resulted in net restructuring costs of $1.4 million, comprised of severance and employee costs partially offset by a stock-based compensation benefit.
• In May 2020, Lyft issued $747.5 million in aggregate principal amount of 1.50% convertible senior notes due 2025. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $733.2 million, after deducting the discounts and commissions and debt issuance costs. In connection with the issuance of the convertible senior notes, Lyft entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions at a cost of approximately $132.7 million.

A Note About Metrics

Lyft defines Active Riders as all riders who take at least one ride during a quarter where the Lyft Platform processes the transaction. An Active Rider is identified by a unique phone number. If a rider has two mobile phone numbers or changed their phone number and such rider took rides using both phone numbers during the quarter, that person would count as two Active Riders. If a rider has a personal and business profile tied to the same mobile phone number, that person would be considered a single Active Rider. If a ride has been requested by an organization using our Concierge offering for the benefit of a rider, we exclude this rider in the calculation of Active Riders, unless the ride is accessible in the Lyft App.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020, some riders were able to access their Concierge rides in the Lyft App if they already had a Lyft account. Accordingly, Lyft updated the definition of Active Riders to include Concierge riders if the rider’s phone number matches that of a verified Lyft account, allowing the rider to access their ride in the Lyft App. This update resulted in a 0.01% increase, or an additional 927 Active Riders in the fourth quarter of 2020. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2020, all Concierge riders were excluded from the calculation of Active Riders as Concierge rides could not be matched with verified rider accounts.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Lyft's financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, Lyft considers certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including Adjusted Net Loss, Contribution, Contribution Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. Lyft defines Adjusted Net Loss as net loss adjusted for amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense (net of any benefit), payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation, changes to the liabilities for insurance required by regulatory agencies attributable to historical periods, and restructuring charges, as well as, if applicable, costs related to the transfer of certain legacy auto insurance liabilities and cost related to acquisitions; Lyft defines Contribution as revenue less cost of revenue, adjusted to exclude the following items from cost of revenue: amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation, changes to the liabilities for insurance required by regulatory agencies attributable to historical periods, and restructuring charges, as well as, if applicable, costs related to the transfer of certain legacy auto insurance liabilities; Lyft defines Contribution Margin for a period as Contribution for the period divided by Revenue for the same period. Lyft defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted to exclude interest expense, other income (expense), net, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, payroll tax expense related to stock-based compensation, changes to the liabilities for insurance required by regulatory agencies attributable to historical periods, as well as, if applicable, restructuring charges, costs related to acquisitions and costs related to the transfer of certain legacy auto insurance liabilities. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA for a period by revenue for the same period.

In April 2020 and November 2020, we announced restructuring efforts to reduce operating expenses and adjust cash flows in light of the ongoing economic challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business. We believe the costs associated with the restructuring do not reflect performance of our ongoing operations. We believe the adjustment to exclude the costs related to restructuring from Contribution, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Loss is useful to investors by enabling them to better assess our ongoing operating performance and provide for better comparability with our historically disclosed Contribution, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Loss amounts.

Lyft records historical changes to liabilities for insurance required by regulatory agencies for financial reporting purposes in the quarter of positive or adverse development even though such development may be related to claims that occurred in prior periods. For example, if in the first quarter of a given year, the cost of claims or our estimates for our cost of claims grew by $1 million for claims related to the prior fiscal year or earlier, the expense would be recorded for GAAP purposes within the first quarter instead of in the results of the prior period. Lyft believes these prior period changes to insurance liabilities do not illustrate the current period performance of Lyft’s ongoing operations since these prior period changes relate to claims that could potentially date back years. Lyft has limited ability to influence the ultimate development of historical claims. Accordingly, including the prior period changes would not illustrate the performance of Lyft’s ongoing operations or how the business is run or managed by Lyft. For consistency, Lyft does not adjust the calculation of Adjusted Net Loss, Contribution and Adjusted EBITDA for any prior period based on any positive or adverse development that occurs subsequent to the quarter end. Lyft believes the adjustment to exclude the historical changes to liabilities for insurance required by regulatory agencies from Adjusted Net Loss, Contribution and Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors by enabling them to better assess Lyft’s operating performance in the context of current period results.

Lyft uses Adjusted Net Loss, Contribution, Contribution Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin in conjunction with GAAP measures as part of Lyft’s overall assessment of its performance, including the preparation of Lyft’s annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of Lyft’s business strategies, and to communicate with Lyft’s board of directors concerning Lyft’s financial performance. Adjusted Net Loss, Contribution and Contribution Margin are measures used by our management to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends. Lyft believes Contribution and Contribution Margin are key measures of Lyft’s ability to achieve profitability and increase it over time. Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are key performance measures that Lyft’s management uses to assess Lyft’s operating performance and the operating leverage in Lyft’s business. Because Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin facilitate internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, Lyft uses these measures for business planning purposes.

Lyft’s definitions may differ from the definitions used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. In addition, other companies may not publish these or similar metrics. Furthermore, these metrics have certain limitations in that they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our consolidated statement of operations that are necessary to run our business. Thus, Adjusted Net Loss, Contribution, Contribution Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for, or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
