"I am proud of how HyreCar's team managed the year despite external challenges including COVID, supply chain and lean car inventories while navigating macroeconomic-related headwinds," said Joe Furnari, Chief Executive Officer of HyreCar. "Our team capitalized on foundational investments and exciting partnerships with Uber as well as agreements with AmeriDrive and Cogent Bank to expand lending capacity that enables HyreCar to continue building supply on our platform."

"I am pleased to report that our fiscal year revenue grew 41% to $35.7 million, up from $25.2 million in fiscal year 2020," said Furnari. "While Q4 volume and revenue levels continued to be impacted by constraints affecting the car market supply, HyreCar continued to improve gross margins, reduced cash operating expenditure in line with guidance, and re-invested some of those savings into scaling its platform. With the gig economy continuing to grow and new customers increasingly entering the industry, the Company expects 2022 to be a year of significant growth."

"Leveraging the Company's strengths, solidified platform, and new Growth Organization, we are focused on creating value beyond our marketplace, expanding our strategic partnerships and relationships, and continuing to increase vehicle supply while more effectively engaging and retaining our drivers in 2022."

Full-Year 2021 Financial Highlights

Total revenue for the full year of 2021 increased 41%, to a record $35.7 million, compared to $25.2 million, in the full year of 2020. Revenue growth in the full year was primarily driven by increased rental days that rose 27% during the year as a result of pricing optimization and enhancements.

Gross profit totaled $9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of 18% compared to $8.3 million recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributed to higher rental days, and favorable pricing, partially offset by higher insurance and claims-related costs.

Total operating expenses, consisting of sales and marketing, general and administrative, and research and development expenses were $37.8 million in the full year of 2021, compared to $23.5 million in the same period a year ago. These additional operating expenses, including additional stock-based compensation, were incurred to enable and support growth and scale across all functional areas. These expenses included costs incurred for the enhancement of the technology platform, on-going efforts at stimulating demand and visibility through marketing, as well as growing our customer support/sales organization.

Net loss in the full year of 2021 totaled $(26.0) million, or ($1.26) per share, compared to a net loss of $(15.2) million, or $(0.87) per share, in the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA, after excluding certain non-cash stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, was $(19.3) million, or $(0.93) per share. A reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is included within this press release.

Statements in this release concerning HyreCar Inc.'s ("HyreCar" or the "Company") future expectations and plans, including, without limitation, HyreCar's future earnings, partnerships and technology solutions, its ability to add and maintain additional car listings on its platform from car dealers, and consumer demand for cars to be used for ridesharing, may constitute forward-looking statements for the purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws and are subject to substantial risks, uncertainties and assumptions. You should not place reliance on these forward-looking statements, which include words such as "could," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "expect," "may," "continue," "predict," "potential," "project" or similar terms, variations of such terms or the negative of those terms. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee such outcomes. HyreCar may not realize its expectations, and its beliefs may not prove correct. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including, without limitation, market conditions and the factors described in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in HyreCar's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and HyreCar's other filings made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. All such statements speak only as of the date made. Consequently, forward-looking statements should be regarded solely as HyreCar's current plans, estimates, and beliefs. Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. HyreCar cannot guarantee future results, events, levels of activity, performance or achievements.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement HYRE's financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, HYRE presents certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, specifically adjusted EPS. These non-GAAP financial measures, which are defined below, should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies.

HYRE is presenting these non-GAAP financial measures to assist investors in seeing HYRE's operating results through the eyes of management and because HYRE believes that these measures provide a useful tool for investors to use in assessing HYRE's operating performance against prior period operating results and against business objectives. HYRE uses the non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making purposes.

The accompanying tables provide more detail on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures described above and the related reconciliations between these financial measures. HYRE has not reconciled adjusted EPS guidance to GAAP net income or GAAP net income per diluted share, respectively, because HYRE does not provide guidance for the reconciling items between these measures and GAAP net income or GAAP net income per diluted share, respectively. As certain of the items that impact GAAP net income and/or GAAP net income per diluted share cannot be reasonably predicted at this time, HYRE is unable to provide such guidance. Accordingly, a reconciliation to GAAP net income or GAAP net income per diluted share is not available without unreasonable effort.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:
