BEVERLY HILLS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / December 23, 2019 / YayYo, Inc. ("YayYo" or "the Company") (NASDAQ:YAYO), a leading provider of vehicles to the rideshare industry, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Rideshare Car Rentals, LLC, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
"Our November IPO and subsequent public announcements represent the most recent data; however, the September quarter-end has important highlights including increased gross margins and year-over-year growth." Commented Jon Rosen, CEO. "We're pleased with the acceleration of auto inventory enabled by our Initial Public Offering in November. The IPO significantly reduced our debt and allowed us to generate valuable operating capital to rapidly acquire and deploy vehicles. We have a simple, strategic business model serving a massive and growing gig-economy. We operate with strong unit economics supporting robust demand among rideshare and delivery drivers." He added, "We expect the optimization of our balance sheet from the IPO to fuel near-term US footprint expansion, increase vehicle inventories, approach profitability and lead the market in 2020."
Third Quarter 2019 Highlights
- Increase in revenue due to additional cars in fleet
- Gross margin improved to 38% compared to 28% for the third quarter of 2018 due to fleet mix optimization and demand-driven pricing
- Additional revenues and higher gross margin led to lower net quarterly loss
- Deployment of vehicles into 8 key US geographical markets
- Pre-IPO 350 vehicle rental fleet size with an approximate 40% gross margins per transaction
Additional
- YayYo recently opened offices in Miami, Dallas, Hoboken, Seattle, Chicago and San Diego
- YayYo completed a post-IPO acquisition of a rental fleet extending the company's reach to the New Jersey ridesharing market.
- The company diversified its lease partners to include United MileFleet and LMP Automotive Holdings. The partnership with LMP also included fleet sourcing, adding to the company's vehicle diversity and faster, regional availability of cars for our rental fleet.
Our operations are organized into rideshare operations and fleet management.
