Helbiz Chief Executive Officer Salvatore Palella said, "Now that we have established a solid foundation for growth, we are intensely focused on operating profitably. Our primary services have been introduced to consumers, our operating infrastructure is in place, and now we need to drive scale while spending efficiently and effectively. We saw an early indication of success, with mobility cost of revenue declining meaningfully in Q2."

Commenting on other achievements in the quarter, Palella said, "Performance in Q2 was solid, with substantial top line growth and clear progress in the micro-mobility business. We expanded into Australia, our first step in Asia Pacific, and grew our existing footprint with new licenses in the U.S. and Italy. We also expanded the size of the fleet and the types of e-vehicles offered."

Palella said, "Even as we drive toward profitable operations in the near-term, we are not losing sight of the massive opportunity in front of us. We are also strengthening the foundation for long-term growth. The due diligence for the transaction with Wheels is underway. Furthermore, last week we announced our entry into taxi hailing, a natural extension of our mobility services. We look forward to sharing more news on these long-term initiatives in the months ahead."

Helbiz Chief Financial Officer Giulio Profumo said, "From top to bottom, the whole team at Helbiz is focused on getting to profitable operations as quickly as possible. We are cutting unnecessary costs and spending more effectively on necessary expenses. The reduction in mobility cost of revenue this quarter is gratifying, an early indication that our efforts are seeing results. We intend to aggressively manage costs in the near term, even as we also invest to drive aggressive growth."

Profumo said, "Second quarter revenue grew significantly both yearly and sequentially, due to the incremental contribution from Media and Kitchen. Importantly, growth was solid in our core mobility business and we are improving margins as we bring down mobility cost of revenue. Even with our cost-control focus, we are investing effectively and efficiently in talent, advertising, marketing, and R&D to sustain our pace of expansion."

Profumo said, "To fund our multiple growth opportunities, we raised another $5 million in July and August. Looking forward, we will deploy more vehicles, pursue more micro-mobility licenses, and drive expansion in Asia Pacific. We are excited about our potential in the months ahead."
