Roadzen Reports Fiscal Second Quarter and First Half FY2025 Financial Results

 

 

 

NEW YORK, November 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Roadzen Inc. (Nasdaq: RDZN) ("Roadzen" or the "Company”), a global leader in AI at the convergence of insurance and mobility, today announced its second quarter and six-month financial results for the period ended September 30, 2024.

Rohan Malhotra, Founder and CEO of Roadzen, stated, "This quarter marked substantial progress in revenue acceleration, product development, and cost reduction. With 33% sequential revenue growth and a 25% improvement in Adjusted EBITDA loss from the prior quarter, we are advancing our long-term strategy. We expect revenue momentum to continue in the second half of FY25 as we aim to resume U.K. sales and pursue growth in the U.S. and India."

Malhotra continued, “The verticalization of AI for legacy industries like insurance presents a generational opportunity, and our pioneering work at the convergence of AI, insurance and mobility delivers a better auto insurance experience to clients across the world. Our technology enables precise risk assessments, personalized pricing, real-time claims management, and accident prevention. The launch of MixtapeAI is one of our most significant product unveilings in recent years, and we are leveraging it to drive internal improvements, reduce operating costs, and transform customer interactions. Our shareholders have shown immense confidence in our vision to build one of the leading AI companies in the public markets, and we are committed to repaying that confidence through our execution.”

Roadzen’s Chief Financial Officer, Jean-Noël Gallardo, added, “Our efforts on improving the Company’s balance sheet yielded significant progress during the second quarter. Total accounts payable and accrued expenses were reduced by $4.0 million, an 11% decrease over the first quarter. We also continued to increase global operational efficiencies powered by our own AI models, enabling us to reduce headcount, consuming fewer resources while achieving results. Going forward, we expect to reap additional benefits from the continued optimization of our operations, which will be reflected in the second half of the year.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes the impact of finance costs, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other items from reported net profit or loss. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA aids investors by providing an operating profit/loss without the impact of non- cash depreciation and amortization and certain other items to help clarify sustainability and trends affecting the business. For comparability of reporting, management considers non-GAAP measures in conjunction with U.S. GAAP financial results in evaluating business performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not purport to represent cash flow provided by, or used for, operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be used as a measure of liquidity.

 

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for financial information presented under GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures versus comparable financial measures determined under GAAP. For example, other companies in our industry may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance. These limitations could reduce the usefulness of these non- GAAP financial measures as analytical tools. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and to not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

 

The following table reconciles our net loss reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA:

 

	For the three months ended September 30,
Particulars	2024			2023
Net loss		(21,831,405	)		(31,121,257	)
Adjusted for:
Other (income)/expense net		(3,252,528	)		(637,492	)
Interest (income)/expense		626,834			617,470
Fair value changes in financial instruments carried at fair value(1)		1,096,949			23,590,000
Tax (benefit)/expense		(181,264	)		10,939
Depreciation and amortization		193,372			413,315
Stock based compensation expense		20,746,267			3,526,209
Non-cash expenses		351,130			-
Non-recurring expenses		105,725			-
Adjusted EBITDA		(2,144,920	)		(3,600,816	)

 

	For the six months ended September 30,
Particulars	2024			2023
Net loss		(70,283,749	)		(35,188,253	)
Adjusted for:
Other (income)/expense net		(3,274,880	)		(699,922	)
Interest (income)/expense		1,448,520			835,424
Fair value changes in financial instruments carried at fair value(1)		18,249,009			23,590,000
Tax (benefit)/expense		(74,614	)		33,350
Depreciation and amortization		673,721			780,853
Stock based compensation expense		46,977,256			3,526,209
Non-cash expenses		636,190			-
Non-recurring expenses		630,483			1,819,746
Adjusted EBITDA		(5,018,064	)		(5,302,593	)

(1) Fair value changes in financial instruments are considered to be financing costs as they relate to convertible notes and the Forward Purchase Agreement. These changes are non-cash as these changes in fair value are affected by the volatility of the Company’s share price.
