New leadership focused on strategic path to profitability supported by recent capital raise and organizational streamlining
Getaround (NYSE: GETR) (“Getaround'' or “the Company”), the world’s first connected carsharing marketplace, today announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Early 2024 Leadership Transition
In January 2024, Getaround’s Board appointed Jason Mudrick, Chief Investment Officer of Mudrick Capital Management, to the position of Chairperson of the board. This appointment follows Mudrick Capital’s agreement to provide $20 million in financing to support the Company’s 2024 operating plan. Subsequently, in February 2024 the board appointed Eduardo Iniguez as Chief Executive Officer and board member of Getaround. AJ Lee was promoted to the position of Chief Operating Officer in March 2024.
“I believe there is tremendous potential in Getaround’s business model,” said Mudrick. “With proper leadership, adequate funding and thoughtful capital allocation, we should be able to scale the platform Getaround built over the past decade exponentially. The near term focus is to stabilize the business to reduce losses, and once stabilized to grow the business thoughtfully. I want to thank Sam Zaid, Getaround’s co-founder and former CEO, for his years of service getting Getaround to where it is today. I’m very excited Eduardo has taken on the role of CEO – his financial and operating discipline is exactly what Getaround needs today.”
“I joined Getaround at a time when the Company is undergoing a transformative journey. The leadership transition includes several other senior management appointments and notably, Jason Mudrick’s appointment to the position of Chairperson of the board,” said Iniguez. “I have been working closely with the board and management team to set near-term priorities that - broadly speaking - include strategic expansion in profitable markets globally, product development that maximizes ROI and improving our financial discipline across the company.”
2023 Full Year Business Highlights
Iniguez went on to say, “Getaround has a tremendous opportunity ahead to increase its market share and deliver a truly differentiated service offering. At the same time, there are multiple challenges to achieving our full potential – some are specific to our company, and some relate to evolving macro trends. The company has taken critical steps to address these challenges head on which we expect to accelerate our path to profitability.”
On March 23, 2024, Getaround decided to suspend its consumer car sharing operations in New York State as of April 1, 2024, due to the extremely high cost of maintaining the insurance coverage required under the New York Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Carsharing Act enacted in 2022. The Act requires Getaround and other carsharing providers to maintain insurance limits that are fifty times greater than the insurance limits required for rental car companies and private vehicle ownership. The Company is disappointed that New Yorkers will not have access to its affordable, on demand car ownership alternative that is shown to reduce congestion in cities and reduce carbon emissions.
2023 Full Year Financial Highlights
“In May, 2023 we completed the acquisition of HyreCar assets to expand our gig carsharing business. This acquisition was the primary driver of our 2023 revenue growth,” said Tom Alderman, Getaround’s Chief Financial Officer. “In December 2022, we deployed a new version of our Getaround TrustScore to improve the trust and safety of our marketplace. This improved risk model with dynamic pricing resulted in a reduction in high-risk revenue and Gross Booking Value while simultaneously improving our profitability. The benefit of the risk improvements were offset in 2023 by an increase in trip support costs related to our operations in New York State as well as insurance liabilities related to the acquisition of the HyreCar assets. This resulted in a decrease to our Trip Contribution Margin in 2023, however we do not expect these additional trip support costs to recur in 2024.”
Alderman went on to say, “In 2023 we showed significant improvement in our Adjusted EBITDA loss driven by our continued focus on cost optimization measures. Throughout the year we also recognized significant benefits from the business restructuring announced in February 2023.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use Trip Contribution Profit, Trip Contribution Margin and Adjusted EBITDA, each of which are non-GAAP financial measures, in conjunction with GAAP measures as part of our overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, and to communicate with the Getaround Board concerning our financial performance. 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 compensate for these limitations by providing a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view the non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Trip Contribution Profit and Trip Contribution Margin
Trip Contribution Profit is defined as our gross profit from Service revenue adjusted for: (i) cost of Service revenue, amortization and depreciation; and (ii) trip support costs, which consist of auto insurance expenses, claims support and customer relations costs. We define Trip Contribution Margin as Trip Contribution Profit divided by Service revenue recognized during the period presented. We believe these measures are leading indicators of our ability to achieve profitability and sustain or increase it over time. Trip Contribution Profit and Trip Contribution Margin are measures we use to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends. Trip Contribution Profit and Trip Contribution Margin have generally increased over the periods as Service revenue increased while costs considered in the calculation of Trip Contribution Profit decreased as a percentage of Total Revenues.
The following tables present a reconciliation of Trip Contribution Profit from the most comparable GAAP measure, gross profit from Service revenue, for the periods presented:

Adjusted EBITDA
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/benefit; (iv) depreciation and amortization; (v) stock-based compensation expense; (vi) contingent compensation; (vii) transaction costs; (viii) impairment loss on goodwill and (ix) certain expenses determined to be incurred outside of the regular course of business which includes: certain restructuring costs, certain legal settlements and 2022 Business Combination-related legal fees, and investments in preparation of going public, initial implementation projects and transaction costs associated with proposed 2022 Business Combinations that are not subject to deferral. Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that we use to assess operating performance and operating leverage of our business. As Adjusted EBITDA facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use this measure for business planning purposes. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations in the same manner as our management and board of directors. The items excluded from our Adjusted EBITDA calculation are either non-cash in nature, or not driven by core results of recurring operations and therefore not predictable or recurring, rendering comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful.
