Management provides revenue guidance of between $18.0M and $19.4M for 2022
LOS ANGELES, March 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EVmo, Inc. (OTC: YAYO), a leading provider of vehicles to the rideshare and delivery gig economy industry, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
FY 2021 and Recent Highlights:
- Record revenue of $10.2 million, up 34.3% over 2020 revenue of $7.6M
- Entered into a $15 million debt facility in July 2021; secured non-dilutive financing in March 2022 to support addition of 400 vehicles quarterly to Company’s fleet
- Launched industry’s first integrated gig delivery technology platform
- Partnerered with University of Southern California to provide on-campus fleet access
- Active rentals per day up 15% year-over-year
- Record driver retention with average rental days per driver up 8% over 2020
- EVs and hybrids are now 34% of the Company’s approximatley 600 total vehicle fleet; EVmo expects to expand fleet to more than 2,000 vehicles by year-end 2022
“Through achievements across multiple facets of our business, we fortified our foundation in 2021, positioning EVmo for accelerated growth in the quarters ahead,” commented Stephen Sanchez, CEO of EVmo. “Through a combination of non-dilutive financing sources, including a $15 million debt facility secured last July and additional financial partners announced this March, we now have the resources to expand our fleet by 400 vehicles quarterly. Our core rentail operations continue to approach profitablility before taking into account corporate overhead and one-time costs, and based on our model, we will reach breakeven at 900 cars and sustained profitability at 1200 cars, numbers we will achieve this year in the quarters directly ahead. We also expect our gross margins to expand moving forward as we grow our fleet substantially.”
EVmo Executive Chairman Terren Peizer commented, “Capital and the associated internal rates of return resulting from high operating and financial leverage are the fuel to our potential exponential growth and profitability. As we have previously said, our model calls for 45% gross margins and 25% EBITDA margin at scale of approximately 2,000 cars. We believe our model and and margins companioned with our management capability can establish us as the clear industry leader in 2022. Further enhancements to our technology platform, growth of our fleet, and continued highly active business development activity with industry partners, universities, and cities will further improve our model and performance. Importantly, we should be able to fund exponential growth from operating cash flow at scale, which in turn could provide further access to non-dilutive debt capital to further accelerate our model.”
Fiscal Year 2021 Financial Results:
- Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $10.2 million, up 34.3% from revenue of $7.6 million in 2020. Revenue growth in 2020 was primarily driven by an increase in rentals of the Company’s vehicle fleet and an increase in the average rental days per driver.
- Cost of revenues in the year ended December 31, 2021 was $8.6 million, up from $5.3 million in the 2020. The increase was due to higher depreciation expense and insurance expense, as well has higher maintenance expense, related to an increase in the Company’s fleet size.
- Selling and marketing expenses were $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, a 42.3% decrease compared to 2020 as the Company’s efficient sales and marketing strategy yields higher vehicle utilization and record driver retention.
- Net loss in 2021 totaled $15.0 million, compared to a net loss of $3.5 million in 2020. The increase is primarily due to higher interest expense and professional services expenses, including banking and legal fees associated with the Company’s $15 million debt facility, announced in July, and one-time legal fees related to litigation settlements.
- Cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.9 million as of December 31, 2021.
Guidance
The Company expects full-year 2022 revenue to be between $18.2 million and $19.4 million with full-year gross margins of between 36% and 40% before vehicle depreciation.
