Improved Capital Outlook with Successful Capital Raise and Cost Reductions Extend Capital Runway to Late 2023
Company Continues to Validate its Value Proposition and Market Positioning through Expanded Relationships with Premier Companies in the Smart Mobility Space
Wejo Group Limited (NASDAQ: WEJO) (“Wejo” or the “Company”), a global leader in cloud and software analytics for connected, electric, and autonomous mobility, today announced financial results and key performance indicators (“KPIs”, as defined under the Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators section below) for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.
Second Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights
Business Highlights
Over the quarter, Wejo notably:
Richard Barlow, Chief Executive Officer and Founder, said, “Wejo's operational momentum continues to be strong as we signed new deals and expanded existing relationships with premier companies that recognize the value that we bring to the smart mobility space. Our solutions in the traffic management vertical continue to drive strong operational results and the announcement of our deal with Ford, our first venture into insurance, will enable us to enter into the $7.6 billion European end-to-end insurance market. This deal showcases our continued development of product verticals outside of traffic, where we are the unquestioned leader. Our pursuit of cost structure improvement has been equally successful by significantly reducing our burn rate for 2022. These alignment efforts will ensure we have the financial flexibility to continue developing groundbreaking platforms such as AVOS, which will enable us to be the leading independent software and analytics platform for connected, electric, and autonomous vehicles in the future."
Guidance
Wejo is maintaining its prior full-year 2022 guidance of net revenue of $10 million and vehicles on platform in the range of 27 million to 32 million. As previously announced, the Company has raised its Adjusted EBITDA loss outlook to a loss in the range of $85 million to $95 million as a result of the cost saving initiatives that have been implemented.
Business Update Call Details
Wejo will host a business update call to discuss the second quarter results today, Monday, August 15, at 8:30 am EST. The call will be hosted by Chief Executive Officer, Richard Barlow and Chief Financial Officer, John Maxwell, and can be accessed on the Investor Relations page of Wejo’s website at investors.wejo.com.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this release, including statements regarding the Company’s future operating results and financial position, business strategy and plans, objectives of management for future operations, expected funding mechanism, pipeline, and our future SEC filings, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the Company’s current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions regarding the Company’s business, the economy and other future conditions.
Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “believes,” “predicts,” “continue,” and similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this press release, including, without limitation, those factors described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including the risk factors set forth in our Comprehensive Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 11, 2022, and future filings with the SEC.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators
This release discloses the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure (defined as Loss from operations excluding: (1) share-based compensation expense; (2) depreciation of equipment and amortization of intangible assets; and (3) transaction related costs, when applicable). Other key performance indicators include: Total Contract Value (defined as the projected value of all contracts we have ever signed to-date with our customers), Annual Recurring Revenue (calculated by taking the gross Monthly Recurring Revenue (“MRR”) for the last month of the reporting period and multiplying it by twelve months. MRR for each month is calculated by aggregating revenue from customers with contracts with more than four months in duration and includes recurring software licenses, data licenses, and subscription agreements), Gross Billings (defined as the amounts billed to customers in the relevant period, excluding taxes, a portion of which often will be shared with certain OEM preferred partners), Gross Bookings (defined as the total projected value of contracts signed in the relevant period, excluding taxes and renewal options available to customers in future periods), and monetizable vehicles on platform. Important information regarding such measures is contained in the definitions included in this release and in Appendix I, the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the closest comparable U.S. GAAP measure, Net Loss. The Company and its management believe that these non-GAAP measures and KPIs are useful to investors in measuring the comparable results of the Company period-over-period. Wejo does not reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA, to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measure, Net Loss, due to variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections and/or certain information not being ascertainable or accessible. Wejo is unable to provide guidance for this reconciling item because we cannot determine its probable significance, as certain items are outside of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted due to the fact that these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, reconciliations to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable effort.
