Symbiotic transaction accelerates path to
profitability and fortifies Company’s carsharing leadership
position
Getaround (NYSE: GETR), the world's first connected carsharing
marketplace, today announced the Company has closed on its
acquisition of substantially all of the assets of HyreCar (OTC:
HYRE), a premier gig carsharing marketplace.
The transaction is expected to contribute up to $75 million of
run-rate annualized Gross Booking Value and to contribute positive
Adjusted EBITDA, accelerating Getaround’s path to profitability.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, as further
described under “About Non-GAAP Financial Measures'' below.
Getaround has acquired substantially all of HyreCar’s assets for an
aggregate purchase price of $9.45 million.
“Getaround is thrilled to acquire the HyreCar business, which we
believe is fundamentally strong; they are the pioneer of the
dedicated gig carsharing marketplace,” said Sam Zaid, CEO and
Founder of Getaround. “This strategic acquisition fortifies our
position as a global leader in the carsharing category. Getaround’s
proprietary technology and go forward plan combined with the
integration of HyreCar onto the Getaround platform enables hosts to
unlock more earnings potential, while delivering value to all of
our stakeholders.”
The acquired assets include the most synergistic and accretive
portions of HyreCar's business and offer the greatest opportunity
for growth, including access to thousands of cars and tens of
thousands of gig drivers in a quickly-growing segment of
carsharing.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release refers to certain financial measures not
presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP), including Adjusted EBITDA. We believe Adjusted
EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in
understanding our past financial performance and future results.
Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and
should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial
statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management
regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures
internally to understand and manage our business and forecast
future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on
any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not
necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other
companies. Our definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures may
differ from definitions used by other companies and therefore
comparability may be limited. In addition, other companies may not
publish these or similar financial measures. Furthermore, these
financial measures have certain limitations in that they do not
include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our
consolidated statements of operations that are necessary to run our
business. Thus, these non-GAAP financial measures should be
considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or in
isolation from, financial measures prepared in accordance with
GAAP.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for: (i) fair
value adjustment of instruments carried at fair value; (ii)
interest income (expense) and other income (expense); (iii) income
tax provision; (iv) gain on extinguishment of debt; (v)
depreciation and amortization; (vi) stock-based compensation
expense; (vii) contingent compensation; and (viii) certain expenses
determined to be incurred outside of the regular course of business
which includes: expenses associated with the termination of our
leased vehicle supply arrangements, certain legal settlements and
business combination-related legal fees, and investments in
preparation of going public, initial implementation projects and
transaction costs associated with proposed business combinations
that are not subject to deferral.
A reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to its
corresponding forward-looking GAAP financial measure, net loss, is
not available on a forward-looking basis because Getaround does not
provide forward-looking GAAP net loss and is not able to present
the various reconciling cash and non-cash items between GAAP net
loss and Adjusted EBITDA without unreasonable effort.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this press release may constitute
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal
securities laws. Forward-looking statements generally relate to
future events, such as statements by the chief executive officers
of Getaround and HyreCar, statements regarding expected synergies,
future financial results and other benefits of the transaction,
sources of funding for the acquisition, and the timing of
completion of the acquisition. In some cases, you can identify
forward-looking statements by terminology such as “intends,”
“plans,” and “will,” or the negative of these terms or variations
of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are
subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could
cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. We have based these
forward-looking statements on our current expectations and
assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and
our perception of historical trends, current conditions and
expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe
are appropriate under the circumstances. However, whether actual
results and developments will conform with our expectations and
predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many
of which are beyond our control, including the possibility that the
acquisition will not be completed on a timely basis or at all,
whether due to the failure to satisfy the conditions of the
acquisition or otherwise, the inability of Getaround to realize
successfully any anticipated synergy, financial results or other
benefits when (and if) the acquisition is completed, the inability
of Getaround to integrate successfully the HyreCar assets when (and
if) the acquisition is completed, the possibility Getaround will
need to raise additional capital to fund the aggregate purchase
price for the acquisition, and Getaround incurring and/or
experiencing unanticipated costs and/or delays or difficulties
relating to the acquisition when (and if) it is completed; and the
other factors under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Current
Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 14, 2022, and in
other filings that the Company has made and may make with the SEC
in the future. All of the forward-looking statements made in this
press release are qualified by these cautionary statements. The
actual results or developments anticipated may not be realized or,
even if substantially realized, they may not have the expected
consequences to or effects on the Company or our business or
operations. Such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of
future performance and actual results or developments may differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, which are made only as of the date of this press
release. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise, except as may be required under
applicable securities laws.
