CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (this “report”) may constitute “forward-looking statements” for purposes of
the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our and our management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to
projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking
statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this report may include, for example, statements about:
•our ability to access sources of capital to finance operations and growth;
•our financial and business performance, including our financial projections and business metrics;
•our ability to grow market share in our existing markets or any new markets we may enter through sales and marketing investments or otherwise;
•our ability to improve unit economics and increase the number, variety and density of supply of cars across our marketplace;
•changes in our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, forecasts, projected costs, prospects and plans;
•the implementation and effects of our restructuring plans;
•expectations regarding the time during which we will be an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act;
•our ability to retain or recruit officers, key employees and directors;
•the impact of the regulatory environment and complexities with compliance related to such environment;
•our ability to maintain and enhance our platform, marketplace and brand, and to attract hosts and guests;
•the expected costs associated with our research and development initiatives, including investments in technology and product development;
•our ability to maintain and enhance our value proposition to hosts and guests;
•our ability to fulfill our mission, including achieving our goals of reducing pollution and emissions, creating income-generating opportunities available to underrepresented communities and facilitating mobility alternatives;
•our ability to manage, develop and refine our platform, including our dynamic pricing and contactless experience;
•our ability to grow our supply of connected cars through our OEM and other strategic relationships with third parties;
•the continuing impact of global, national or regional events on our business, the transportation industry, travel trends, and the global economy generally;
•our ability to realize the expected benefits of the 2023 Business Combination (as defined below) and the acquisition of the HyreCar business; and
•other risks and uncertainties described in this report, including those under the section entitled “Risk Factors.”
The forward-looking statements contained in this report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on our business. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting our business will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described in the section entitled “Risk Factors.” Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the effect of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements made by us in this report speak only as of the date of this report. Except to the extent required under the federal securities laws and rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we disclaim any
obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there is no assurance that the events or results suggested by the forward-looking statements will in fact occur, and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
Unless the context otherwise indicates, references in this report to the terms “Getaround,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Getaround, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
Organization and Nature of Business
InterPrivate II Acquisition Corp. (“InterPrivate II”) was a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses.
On December 8, 2022, InterPrivate II completed the business combination (“2022 Business Combination”) pursuant to the merger agreement dated May 11, 2022 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among, InterPrivate II, TMPST Merger Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of InterPrivate II (“First Merger Sub”), TMPST Merger Sub II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of InterPrivate II (“Second Merger Sub”) and Getaround, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Getaround”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between InterPrivate II and Legacy Getaround was effected through the merger of First Merger Sub and Legacy Getaround, with Legacy Getaround emerging as the surviving company, followed by a merger between Legacy Getaround and Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub emerging as the surviving company as a wholly owned subsidiary of InterPrivate II. In connection with the finalization of the 2022 Business Combination, InterPrivate II changed its name to Getaround, Inc. (“Getaround” or the “Company”) and Second Merger Sub changed its name to Getaround Operations LLC.
The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Getaround Operations LLC, is an online car rental service company operating on a remote work basis with its employees, and a principal place of business in Oakland, California. The Company provides peer-to-peer car‑sharing service powered by its proprietary technology, which allows car owners to earn income sharing their cars with pre-qualified drivers on the Company’s network. As of September 30, 2024, the Company operated globally in major U.S. cities and certain European markets, including France and Norway.
Basis of Accounting
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "Annual Report"). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations dealing with interim financial statements. In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods.
The Company qualifies as an emerging growth company (“EGC”) and as such, has elected the extended transition period for complying with certain new or revised accounting pronouncements. During the extended transition period, the Company is not subject to certain new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. The accounting pronouncements pending adoption as described in Note 2 “Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted” reflect effective dates for the Company as an EGC with the extended transition period.
Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the unaudited consolidated financial statements herein.
Going Concern and Liquidity
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced losses since its inception and had net loss of $15.5 million and $58.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $27.3 million and $80.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The Company expects operating losses and negative cash flows to continue for the foreseeable future as it continues to develop and promote its platform, as well as to grow its user base through new markets.
Getaround, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $30.8 million and $15.6 million, respectively, in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents available to fund future operations. The Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors and the Company may need to use available capital resources and/or raise additional capital earlier than currently anticipated and will be required in the foreseeable future in order for the Company to continue as a going concern. When the Company pursues additional debt and/or equity financing, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms commercially acceptable to the Company.
If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding when needed, it will need to significantly reduce its spending, delay or cancel its planned activities, substantially change its corporate structure or curtail or discontinue its operations, which will likely have an unfavorable effect on the Company’s ability to execute on its business plan, and have an adverse effect on its business, results of operations and future prospects. These matters raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue in existence as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The summary of significant accounting policies to the audited consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report includes a discussion of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The most significant matters involving management’s estimates include those related to accounts receivable, claims allowances, assessment of possible impairment of its intangible and long-lived assets, valuation of deferred income tax assets, fair value of warrant liability, certain convertible notes payable, certain notes payable, and stock-based awards. Actual results may ultimately differ from management’s estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). The ASU requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements, as well as all existing segment disclosures and reconciliation requirements in ASC 280. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on a retrospective basis with early adoption permitted. This ASU will likely result in the required additional disclosures being included in our consolidated financial statements, once adopted.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is also permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. This ASU will likely result in the required additional disclosures being included in our consolidated financial statements, once adopted.
There are other new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB that the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, and the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements have had, or will have, a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
3. Business Combination
On May 16, 2023, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with HyreCar Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”). The Seller is a national carsharing marketplace for ridesharing, food, and package delivery via its proprietary technology platform. The Company has established a leading presence in Mobility as a Service through individual vehicle owners, dealers and rental agencies that wish to participate in new mobility trends. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company has acquired substantially all of the assets owned, controlled or used by the Seller related to the operation of its peer-to-peer car sharing business and certain of the Seller’s liabilities (the “Assumed Liabilities”), as such terms are defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement, for an aggregate purchase price of $8.13 million, comprised of cash and certain credits for the Assumed Liabilities in this transaction ("the 2023 Business Combination").
Getaround, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The following table summarizes the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition (in thousands):
| | | | |
Consideration: | | | |
Cash (net of cash acquired) | | $ | 7,826 | |
| | | |
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed: | | | |
Current assets (excluding cash) | | $ | 1,232 | |
Intangible assets | | | 9,380 | |
Assumed current liabilities | | | (3,604 | ) |
Net assets acquired | | | 7,008 | |
Goodwill | | | 818 | |
Net assets acquired | | $ | 7,826 | |
The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired include the following (in thousands):
| | | | | | |
| | Fair Value | | | Estimated useful life |
Customer relationships - car renters | | $ | 6,720 | | | 1.4 |
Customer relationships - car owners | | | 2,090 | | | 2.6 |
Developed technology | | | 490 | | | 0.6 |
Tradename | | | 80 | | | 0.6 |
All finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed. Approximately $0.8 million of the acquired goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and is primarily attributable to intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, including the assembled workforce of the acquired business, and expected synergies at the time of the acquisition.
Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)
The following unaudited pro forma financial information summarizes the results of operations for the Company as though the Business Combination had occurred on January 1, 2023. The unaudited pro forma financial information has been presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of results of operations that would have been achieved had the acquisition taken place on the date indicated, or the future consolidated results of operations of the Company.

4. Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, convertible promissory notes, and warrant liability. The recorded carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The balances outstanding under the notes payable agreements are considered to approximate their estimated fair values as the interest rates approximate market rates.
Assets and liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets consist of cash and cash equivalents, convertible promissory notes, certain notes payable, and warrant liability. These items are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Warrants
The Company measures its warrant liability at fair value based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which caused them to be classified as Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the fair value of the warrant liability related to updated assumptions and estimates were recognized as a warrant liability fair value adjustment within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The fair value of the warrant liability, as of September 30, 2024 was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The significant unobservable inputs for the Monte Carlo model include the stock price, exercise price, risk-free rate of return, time to expiration, and the volatility. An increase or decrease in the unobservable inputs in isolation could result in a material increase or decrease in the estimated fair value. In the future, depending on the weight of evidence and valuation approaches used, these or other inputs may have a more significant impact on the estimated fair value.
The Company calculated the estimated fair value of the private warrants as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, using the following assumptions:
| | | | |
| | September 30, 2024 | |
Stock price | | $ | 0.06 | |
Exercise price | | $ | 11.50 | |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 3.55 | % |

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy of its assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value.
Mudrick Convertible Notes and Mudrick Super Priority Note
The Company measures its convertible promissory notes and the Mudrick Super Priority Note at fair value based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which caused them to be classified as Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the fair value of the convertible promissory notes related to updated assumptions and estimates were recognized as a convertible promissory note fair value adjustment within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
In determining the fair value of the Mudrick Convertible Notes and the Mudrick Super Priority Note as of September 30, 2024, the Company used a market-based approach. The valuation method utilized a negotiated discount rate and a market yield rate which are unobservable inputs.
An increase or decrease in any of the unobservable inputs in isolation could result in a material increase or decrease in the estimated fair value. In the future, depending on the weight of evidence and valuation approaches used, these or other inputs may have a more significant impact on the estimated fair value.
The Company calculated the estimated fair value of the Mudrick Convertible Notes and Mudrick Super Priority Note as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, using the following assumptions:
| | | | | | | | |

Mudrick Convertible Notes
In connection with the 2022 Business Combination in December 2022, pursuant to the convertible note subscription agreement, dated May 11, 2022, as amended December 8, 2022, by and among InterPrivate II and Mudrick Capital Management L.P. on behalf of certain funds, investors, entities or accounts that are managed, sponsored or advised by Mudrick Capital Management L.P. or its affiliates (“noteholders”), the Company issued $175 million of senior secured convertible notes (“Mudrick Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears on December 15 and June 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2023, at a rate of 8.00% per annum (if paid in cash) or 9.50% per annum (if paid in-kind). Upon the occurrence, and during the continuation, of an event of default, an additional 2.00% will be added to the stated interest rate. The Mudrick Convertible Notes will mature on December 8, 2027, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.
The Mudrick Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the noteholders at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. Conversions of the Mudrick Convertible Notes will be settled in shares of common stock.
The indenture governing the Mudrick Convertible Notes includes restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company to incur additional debt, make restricted payments and limit the ability of the Company to incur liens, in addition to a covenant to maintain a consolidated cash and cash equivalents balance in excess of $10.0 million. The indenture also contains customary events of default.
The initial conversion rate of the Mudrick Convertible Notes was 86.96 shares of Getaround common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Mudrick Convertible Notes, which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $11.50 per share. The initial conversion price was subject to a downward adjustment to 115% of the average daily volume-weighted average trading price (“VWAP”) of Getaround common stock for the 90 trading days after the closing date, subject to a minimum conversion price of $9.21 per share. The conversion price is subject to further adjustments including adjustments in connection with certain issuances or deemed issuances of common stock at a price less than the then-effective conversion price, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date of the Mudrick Convertible Notes. In connection with the issuance of the Mudrick Super Priority Note described below, pursuant to the second supplemental indenture dated as of August 19, 2024, the Company agreed to effectuate an adjustment to the conversion rate of the Mudrick Convertible Notes to 4,000 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Mudrick Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of $0.25 per share.
The Mudrick Convertible Notes are redeemable at any time by the Company, in whole but not in part, for cash, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, plus certain make-whole premiums.
In connection with the execution of the note subscription agreement, the Company agreed to issue warrants, that were subject to adjustment whereby the minimum and maximum number of warrants was 1,750,000 and 7,000,000, and have an exercise price of $11.50. As such, on May 4, 2023, the Company issued 7,000,000 warrants that are in substantially the same form as the Company's public warrants.
Additionally, 266,156 shares of common stock were issued to Mudrick entities as Equitable Adjustment Shares in pursuant to the convertible note subscription agreement. In exchange for the issuance of the Mudrick Convertible Notes and commitment to issue warrants, the Company agreed to pay a backstop fee of $5.2 million through a reduction of proceeds. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Mudrick Convertible Notes and warrant commitment liability were $169.8 million.

Events of default for Mudrick Convertible Note
On June 23, 2023, July 7, 2023, and October 11, 2023 the Company received written notices from U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, in its capacity as trustee under the indenture governing the Mudrick Convertible Notes, for its failure to comply with the covenant of timely filing the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, all such events of default have been remediated.
On July 9, 2024, Getaround, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) suspended trading of its common stock on the NYSE effective immediately and started the process to delist the Company's common stock from the NYSE. The start of the delisting process follows the NYSE’s determination under Rule 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual that the Company did not meet the continued listing standard that requires listed companies to maintain an average global market capitalization of at least $15.0 million over a period of 30 consecutive trading days. The Company had a right to appeal the determination to delist its common stock and filed a written request for such a review on July 23, 2024.
On August 2, 2024, the Company notified NYSE that it determined to officially withdraw its request for a hearing. The Company's common stock was formally delisted from listing and registration on NYSE effective August 16, 2024.
The delisting from the NYSE constituted an Event of Default under the Mudrick Convertible Notes. On September 5, 2024, the Company and Mudrick entered into a forbearance agreement whereby Mudrick agrees to forbear on any rights and remedies available under the Mudrick Convertible Notes agreement in connection with the NYSE delisting.
The Company’s common stock and public warrants are now quoted on the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbols “GETR” and “GETRW,” respectively.
On August 23, 2023, September 6, 2023, and December 6, 2023, in lieu of acceleration of the repayment obligation as a result of an event of default for not timely filing the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively, the Company elected to pay additional interest on the Mudrick Convertible Notes at a rate per annum equal to (a) one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the principal amount for the first ninety (90) days during which the event of default continues, and, thereafter, (b) one half of one percent (0.50%) of the principal amount for the ninety first (91st) through the one hundred and eightieth (180th) day during which the event of default continues, provided, however, that in no event will any such special interest accrue on any day at a combined rate per annum that exceeds one half of one percent (0.50%). Following such elections, the Mudrick Convertible Notes will be subject to acceleration from, and including, the one hundred and eighty first (181st) calendar day on which such event of default has occurred and is continuing or if the Company fails to pay any accrued and unpaid special interest when due. Special interest will cease to accrue from, and including, the earlier of (x) the date such event of default is cured or waived and (y) such one hundred and eighty first (181st) calendar day. The Company has since cured all continuing reporting defaults by filing its delinquent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 on November 16, 2023, and its delinquent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively, on December 15, 2023.
The event of default with respect to the Mudrick Super Priority Note (as discussed below under “Event of default for Mudrick Super Priority Note”) constituted an Event of Default under the Mudrick Convertible Notes from February 26, 2024, to, but excluding, April

11. Leases
The Company leases a corporate office facility, short-term parking spaces and miscellaneous office equipment under operating lease agreements. The Company’s lease agreements have terms not exceeding eight years. As of September 30, 2024, the Company does not have any finance leases.
On May 22, 2024, the Company entered into a Termination of Lease agreement (“Lease Termination”) with Green Front LLC (the "Landlord"), related to the Company’s early termination of its leased office space located at 55 Green Street, San Francisco, California (the "Lease"). The effective termination date for the Lease was June 1, 2024. The letter of credit originally issued in connection with the lease has been entirely drawn and there is no remaining balance on the letter of credit as of the date of the agreement. The Company had leasehold improvements and fixed assets at the Lease premises with net book values of $6.0 million and $1.0 thousand, respectively, that were surrendered to the Landlord. As a result of the Termination of Lease agreement, the Company was obligated for the following: Pay the Landlord $1.0 million as partial payment of the termination fee, execute and deliver to the Landlord a Promissory Note of $1.1 million, pay the Landlord all sublease rents, license fees, or other payments for occupancy of the premises, surrender and vacate the premises and surrender to the Landlord all existing tenant-owned furniture, fixtures, and equipment in the premises on the effective termination date, assign to Landlord all existing licenses and other occupancy agreements for any portion of the premises, and assign to Landlord all service contracts. The Company agreed to pay to the Landlord the aggregate sum of $2.1 million (“Termination Fee”), consisting of the $1.0 million fee payment noted above and the Promissory Note of $1.1 million. The Company recognized a $2.9 million net loss as a result of the Lease Termination.
The Company elects not to apply the lease recognition requirements to its short-term leases. Accordingly, the Company recognizes lease payments related to short-term leases in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term which has not changed from prior recognition.
For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company records the related operating or finance right of use asset and lease liability at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company is generally not able to readily determine the implicit rate in the lease and therefore uses the determined incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement to compute the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the market interest rate the Company would incur to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease. When determining lease term, the Company considers renewal options that are reasonably certain to exercise and termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised, in addition to the non-cancellable lease term.

The Company’s sole remaining real estate leasing agreement includes terms requiring the Company to reimburse the lessor for its share of real estate taxes, insurance, operating costs and utilities which are accounted for as variable lease costs when incurred since the Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components, and hence are not included in the measurement of lease liability.

As of September 30, 2024, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the Company’s commitments, as disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Legal Proceedings
In addition to the matters discussed below, from time to time, the Company is subject to potential liability under laws and government regulations and various claims and legal actions that may be asserted against it that could have a material adverse effect on its business,

reputation, results of operations or financial condition. Such litigation may include, but is not limited to, actions or claims relating to sensitive data, including its proprietary business information and intellectual property and that of its clients and personally identifiable information of its employees and contractors, cyber-attacks, data breaches and non‑compliance with its contractual or other legal obligations.
A liability and related charge are recorded to earnings in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for legal contingencies when the loss is considered probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The assessment is re-evaluated each accounting period and is based on all available information, including discussion with outside legal counsel. If a reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss cannot be made, but a range of probable losses can be estimated, the low-end of the range of losses is recognized if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other. If a material loss is reasonably possible, but not probable and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The Company expenses legal fees as they are incurred.
Kenareki Litigation
In 2020 the Company became involved in certain litigation filed by a former contractor of the Company alleging various Labor Code violations by the Company. The former contractor has asserted claims on a class wide basis and seeks to represent all California contractors and California non-exempt employees from July 2016 to the present. Based upon the Company’s investigation, the Company does not believe the plaintiff’s claims against the Company are valid, and during the third quarter of 2024 the parties reached a final settlement of this matter for an amount the Company does not consider to be material.
Broadspire Litigation
On March 5, 2021, the Company filed a complaint against its former third-party insurance claims administrator, Broadspire Services, Inc. alleging negligence and breach of contract leading to losses suffered by the Company (Getaround v. Broadspire, San Francisco Superior Court Case No. CGC-21-590022). The defendant filed a cross-complaint for amounts allegedly owed by the Company for services rendered by Broadspire. On February 22, 2024, the Company agreed to the terms of a settlement of the civil suit the Company filed against Broadspire and the related cross complaint filed by Broadspire against the Company. On March 14, 2024, Broadspire made a settlement payment to the Company in the amount of $15 million, in exchange for the dismissal of all claims and counterclaims amongst the parties in connection with the civil suit and related cross complaint. The $15 million settlement payment, less fees for legal services paid to counsel to the Company and other legal costs, resulted in a net payment to the Company of approximately $10.3 million.
Garfield Litigation
In April of 2023, an action for attorneys’ fees and expenses was filed in the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware against the Company (Garfield v. Getaround, Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware C.A. # 2023-0445-MTZ). The complaint alleges the plaintiff was a stockholder of InterPrivate II Acquisition Corp. (“IPVA”) who proposed certain amendments to IPVA’s certificate of incorporation, which, if implemented, would enable IPVA to avoid violating provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law regarding corporate voting structures. The complaint further alleges such amendments were enacted in response to the plaintiff’s notice, and the plaintiff is therefore entitled to receive an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses from the Company as IPVA’s successor-in-interest, under the Court of Chancery's "corporate benefit" doctrine. On August 15, 2024 the parties reached a final settlement of this matter for an amount the Company does not consider to be material.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had accrued $0.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, related to various pending claims and legal actions. The Company does not believe that a material loss in excess of these accrued amounts is reasonably possible.
Indemnification
The Company enters into standard indemnification arrangements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless and agrees to reimburse the indemnified parties for certain losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party. In some cases, the term of these indemnification agreements is perpetual. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these agreements is not determinable because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future but have not yet been made.
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, other than liabilities

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
arising from willful misconduct of the individual. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has director and officer insurance coverage that reduces the Company’s exposure and enables the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. To date the Company has not incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. No liability associated with such indemnifications has been recorded to date.
13. Income Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations was not material for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 0.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations was 0.1% for the nine months ending September 30, 2024 and 0.8% for the nine months ending September 30, 2023. The Company's full allowance in the United States and various other foreign jurisdictions caused the quarterly effective tax rate to be different from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate.
The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax benefits as part of the income tax provision and include accrued interest and penalties with the related income tax liability on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. To date, the Company has not recognized any interest and penalties in its condensed consolidated statements of operations, nor has it accrued for or made payments for interest and penalties. The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.

InterPrivate II Public and Private Warrants
Upon the Closing Date, there were 5,175,000 and 4,616,667 outstanding public and private warrants, respectively, to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock that were issued by InterPrivate II prior to the 2022 Business Combination. Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one whole share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, 30 days after the 2022 Business Combination, provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of common stock. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of the 2022 Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The private warrants are identical to the public warrants, except that the private warrants and the common stock issuable upon exercise of the private warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the 2022 Business Combination. Additionally, the private warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor, one of InterPrivate II’s directors or any of its permitted transferees. If the private warrants are held by someone other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the private warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the public warrants.
The Company may redeem the outstanding warrants in whole and not in part at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, if and only if the last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20-trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. If the Company calls the warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the warrants to do so on a cashless basis. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrant exercise.

Overview
Getaround is a global carsharing marketplace, powered by proprietary technology designed to make sharing cars simple, digital, on-demand, and automated. We reimagined the traditional car ownership model by empowering consumers, whom we refer to as our guests, to instantly and conveniently access safe, affordable and desirable cars they need while providing earnings potential to car owners who supply them, whom we refer to as our hosts. We believe booking and sharing cars should be a frictionless and hassle-free experience. Our technology platform offers choice and agency to guests and hosts, enabling both a traditional rental experience where guests meet the host ahead of their trip, or a fully contactless experience, without guests needing to wait in line at a car rental facility, manually fill out any paperwork, or meet anyone in person to exchange keys. Since launching in 2011, we have been focused on building and innovating our digital carsharing marketplace in the United States and internationally. As of September 30, 2024, our platform supports approximately 2.2 million unique guests and has approximately 66,000 active cars in more than 1,000 cities across 8 countries worldwide, including in the United States and across Europe.
Our proprietary cloud-based platform, which we call the Getaround Connect Cloud Platform, creates a digital experience that makes it easy for guests to find cars nearby, and for hosts to share their cars with guests, in both high and low population-density geographies. We have established a broad network of loyal hosts and guests on our platform. Hosts benefit from low entry costs, digital fleet management, and dynamic pricing algorithms and optimization informed by data analytics. Guests benefit from an easy-to-use platform, the ability 24/7 to book cars located nearby by the hour or day, and, with cars utilizing our Connect technology, a contactless booking, pickup and return experience, eliminating the need for in-person interaction. We leverage our powerful technology platform, our scaled network, and the rich data captured from trips to derive insights and to innovate in order to provide hosts and guests with a differentiated product offering compared to competitors.

The Company may prepay the Mudrick Super Priority Note at any time prior to its maturity date, and subject to the following exception, must prepay the balance of the Note with 100% of the net proceeds of any sale, or similar disposition, of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. At the Company’s election, the mandatory prepayments set forth above do not apply to the first $10.0 million of net proceeds received by the Company in connection with a sale or similar disposition as described above.
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. On July 9, 2024, Getaround, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) suspended trading of its common stock on the NYSE effective immediately and started the process to delist the Company's common stock from the NYSE. The delisting process followed the NYSE’s determination under Rule 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual that the Company did not meet the continued listing standard that requires listed companies to maintain an average global market capitalization of at least $15 million over a period of 30 consecutive trading days. The Company's common stock was formally delisted from listing and registration on NYSE effective August 16, 2024. The Company's common stock and public warrants are now quoted on the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbols "GETR" and "GETRW", respectively.
Going Concern. We have incurred cumulative losses from inception through September 30, 2024, and expect to incur additional losses for the foreseeable future. Our ability to fund our operations and capital expenditures beyond our current cash and cash equivalents resources will depend on our ability to generate cash from operating activities, which is subject to future operating performance, as well as general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, and other conditions, some of which may be beyond our control. We expect operating losses and negative cash flows to continue for the foreseeable future as we continue to develop and promote our platform, as well as to grow our user base through new markets. Our future capital requirements depend on many factors, including our needs to support our business growth, to respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances, or for other reasons. As a result, if our current cash runway is insufficient for us to be able to achieve or maintain positive cash flow, we will be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital
when desired, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected. These matters raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue in existence as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.
Our Revenue Model
We operate a carsharing marketplace and generate revenue from fees charged to guests as well as subscriptions charged to hosts. A significant majority of our revenue in any period depends on a large number of Powerhosts, which we define as any host with three or more active cars in our marketplace. Getaround prices trips dynamically on the platform, leveraging our extensive data from the hundreds of millions of miles driven on our platform to intelligently price the risks of the trip, the market and the guest.
Our pricing system is designed to optimize each individual transaction value by balancing supply and demand information and utilizing dynamic pricing features that depend on multiple transaction attributes, such as trip length and location. The use of dynamic pricing features varies across geographies, as slightly different strategies are appropriate for different regions. In some geographies, all pricing is dynamically priced on a per trip basis, and varies by time of day, day of week, vehicle details, geography, historical demand and supply levels, among other factors. Hosts control the pricing of this model by setting a minimum daily rate for their vehicle, as well as other inputs such as the minimum trip duration. In other geographies, hosts have the option of using our pricing system to dynamically set prices on their vehicle, or to more specifically control prices directly on a per-day basis. If they choose to set per-day prices themselves, the system still provides personalized suggestions for pricing, based on a similar set of attributes and historical data as our fully dynamic model would do. Through these processes both the fee we charge the guest for usage of the vehicle subject to a booking, or the “Trip Price,” and in certain related fees, or “Trip-related Fees,” charged to the guest are capable of being set dynamically. Our pricing system also allows hosts in any geography to significantly increase their revenue yield by varying the Trip Price according to local supply and demand dynamics while Trip-related Fees, such as the booking fee and optional protection plans, are controlled by our pricing system based on a model that determines the risk profile of a trip, according to a number of risk factors such as lead time, trip duration, and an array of other factors. In some cases, prices for Trip-related Fees are set to offset the expected increased cost to the platform from riskier trips. Additionally, our dynamic pricing may improve revenue yield by incentivizing guests to book longer trips, thereby increasing the average order value and associated service revenue and host earnings.
The subscriptions that we charge to hosts vary by geography and typically include a Connect Subscription to access our connected car technology and may also include a Parking Subscription. Fees charged to hosts are independent of booking activity.
The revenue-generating components of a booked trip within our two-sided marketplace include:
•Guests. For each trip on our platform, the amount we charge the guest consists of the Trip Price plus Trip-related Fees. The Trip Price and certain Trip-related Fees, such as a booking fee, are determined algorithmically at the time of booking while other fees may be charged during or after the trip, such as a toll fee or a late-return fee. The guest may also be charged various taxes, as applicable by geography, which we record as a pass-through and are excluded from Net Marketplace Value.
•Hosts. For each trip on our platform, we charge a commission to the host based on a percentage of the Trip Price. The average commission on our platform is approximately 40% and the host retains the remaining 60%. A typical trip on our platform may also incur reimbursements back to the host for incidental charges such as low fuel or excess mileage. Third-party liability insurance for the host is included with every trip, provided that we do not provide insurance covering hosts and their vehicles, guests, or third parties where the host is a commercial entity and declines coverage under our policies.
Accordingly, under our model, our revenue consists of the commission that we charge to the host and 100% of the Trip-related Fees, which are net of reimbursements that may have been passed through to the host.
The table below shows the components of an illustrative booked trip, which is typically less than one day. Gross Booking Value and Net Marketplace Value in the table below exclude subscriptions charged to hosts and also exclude reductions in revenue resulting from incentive and refund payments made to hosts and guests. See the sections titled “— Key Business Metrics” and “— Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for more information on the calculation of these metrics. For illustration purposes, we included a common reimbursement line item for incidental charges and an example of a local sales tax (which we collect and remit to local authorities in certain jurisdictions).

Components of Results of Operations
Total Revenues
We have three revenue streams: Carsharing Revenue, Connect Subscription Revenue, Parking Revenue, and Other Revenue.
We generate substantially all of our revenue from our peer-to-peer carsharing marketplace platform that connects hosts and guests. We refer to that revenue stream as “Carsharing Revenue.” Carsharing Revenue is derived from trip reservation and other trip fees collected from guests who book and rent vehicles from the hosts through our platform at a mutually agreed upon rate. Within Europe, we are an intermediary of a sale of third-party vehicle insurance coverage to the guests during the booking process. We charge a nominal amount in exchange for being the intermediary in the sales transaction. Carsharing Revenue is presented net of payments due to hosts given that we act as an intermediary in the arrangement between the host and the guest.
We generate additional revenue from hosts’ subscriptions for the use of IoT hardware devices installed in certain cars, including the Getaround Connect IoT device. We refer to that revenue stream as “Connect Subscription Revenue”.
Carsharing Revenue and Connect Subscription Revenue are presented on a combined basis as “Service revenue” in our consolidated financial statements. Carsharing revenue represents substantially all of our Service Revenue as Connect Subscription Revenue has not been material in the periods presented.
The principal drivers of fluctuations in our Service revenue from period to period are our directed revenue management efforts, such as deliberate changes in pricing and availability optimization, and to a lesser extent, changes in the relative mix of cars on our marketplace, the relative mix of customer-specific use cases at a point in time (e.g., vacation travels and local trips), the scale of different cities across North America and Europe, foreign currency exchange rates, and the local pricing optimizations performed on a per-car and per-trip basis by our dynamic pricing system.
We also generate revenue by subleasing, on a monthly basis, dedicated parking spaces to our hosts. We refer to that revenue stream as “Parking revenue” and present it as “Lease revenue” in our consolidated financial statements.
Our Total Revenues are presented net of incentives and refunds. Please refer to Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report”), for additional details on our revenue recognition policy.
Costs and Expenses
Cost of Revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)
Cost of Revenue includes payment-processing fees, server hosting charges, and chargebacks associated with operating our platform. Cost of Revenue (exclusive of amortization and depreciation) captures the costs directly related to and necessary for realization of transactions between the hosts and the guests through the Company’s marketplace platform, other than the amortization
of its platform technology. Cost of Revenue does not include depreciation and amortization. Cost of Revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) may vary as a percentage of Total Revenues from year to year depending on booking activity on our marketplace.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of online digital advertising, brand advertising, out of home and outdoor advertising, market research, agency costs, trade shows and other events, public relations, and compensation and related personnel costs of our salesforce and marketing teams. We expect that our sales and marketing expenses will vary from period to period as a percentage of net revenue for the foreseeable future.
Operations and Support
Operations and support expense primarily consists of trip support costs, compensation and related expenses of operations personnel, driver’s license and identity checks, parking space lease expense, onboarding expenses and other operating costs. Trip support costs consist of auto insurance, insurance claims support and customer relations costs.
We expect that our operations and support costs will continue to increase for the foreseeable future to the extent that we continue to see growth in our key business metrics. Operations and support expenses may vary as a percentage of Total Revenues from year to year.
Technology and Product Development
Technology and product development expenses consist primarily of prototypes, product testing and testing equipment, and compensation and related personnel costs associated with the development, testing and maintenance of our software, hardware, and user experience. We expect that our technology and product development expenses vary from period to period as a percentage of Total Revenues for the foreseeable future.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of office space and facilities, non-auto insurance, professional services, business tools and subscriptions, bad debt and compensation and related personnel costs of our administrative teams. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will vary as a percentage of Total Revenues from period to period over the short term and decrease as a percentage of Total Revenues over the long term.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of the associated depreciation and amortization of computer equipment, vehicle equipment, office furniture and equipment, leasehold improvements, and intangibles and the impairment of long-lived assets. We expect that our depreciation and amortization expenses will vary as a percentage of Total Revenues from period to period over the short term and decrease as a percentage of Total Revenues over the long term.
Convertible Promissory Note and Note Payable Fair Value Adjustment
Certain debt instruments issued by Getaround are carried at fair value on our balance sheet. Changes in fair value of those instruments are captured in our results of operation. Convertible promissory note fair value adjustment consists of unrealized gains and losses as a result of marking our convertible promissory notes to fair market value at the end of each reporting period. We will continue to recognize changes in the fair value of such instruments until each respective instrument is exercised, repaid, or qualifies for equity classification. For additional information on securities carried at fair value and fair value measurement please refer to Note 4 - Fair Value Measurement to our consolidated financial statements included herein.
Warrant Liability Fair Value Adjustment
Certain warrants issued by Getaround are deemed to be a liability for accounting purposes and are therefore carried at fair value on our balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of those liabilities are captured in our results of operations. Warrant liability fair value adjustment consists of unrealized gains and losses as a result of marking our liability classified warrants to fair market value at the end of each reporting period. We will continue to recognize changes in the fair value of such warrants until each respective warrant is exercised, expired, or qualifies for equity classification. For additional information on securities carried at fair value and fair value measurement please refer to Note 4 – Fair Value Measurement to our consolidated financial statements included herein.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense is associated with our outstanding debt, including amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs.
Other Income (Expense), Net
Other income (expense), net consists of various, individually immaterial items that are not directly related to operations of Getaround.
Income Tax Benefit
Income tax benefit consists primarily of income taxes in certain foreign and state jurisdictions in which we conduct business. We maintain a full valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets because we have concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Total revenue | | $ | 22,387 | | | $ | 23,799 | | | $ | (1,412 | ) | | | (6 | )% |
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s total revenues decreased by $1.4 million compared to the same period last year. Service revenue decreased by $1.3 million driven primarily by the April 1, 2024 suspension of operations in New York State, as well as what the Company believes to be a short-term impact of lower revenue from U.S. carsharing operations driven by the launch of the next generation of our Getaround TrustScore, which disincentivizes higher risk customers from booking trips on our marketplace. Lease revenue decreased by a total of $0.1 million, or 36%, primarily due to the suspension of operations in New York State which decreased the overall number of parking spaces generating Lease revenue.
Cost of Revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)

Total cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) decreased $0.2 million, or 10%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023. Cost of revenue varies with both the price and number of the transactions, which impact transaction processing fees, as well as with overall platform traffic, including research and development activities, on our platform that impacts the hosting charges.
Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expense increased $1.1 million, or 26% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 consistent with our planned marketing spend.
Operations and Support
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Percentage of total revenues | | | 68 | % | | | 71 | % | | | | | | |
Operations and support expenses decreased $1.6 million, or 10%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.1 million decrease in compensation expense and a $0.3 million net decrease in tolls, roadside assistance and fuel expenses, as well as other reductions as a result of improvement in operations and support costs driven by Getaround TrustScore.
Technology and Product Development
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Percentage of total revenues | | | 16 | % | | | 17 | % | | | | | | |
Technology and product development expenses decreased $0.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 largely due to a decrease in compensation expense.
General and Administrative

Percentage of total revenues | | | 50 | % | | | 49 | % | | | | | | |
General and administrative expenses decreased $0.6 million, or 5%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was largely attributable to a $0.8 million decrease in office rent expense due to the Green St. Lease termination in June of 2024, a $0.7 million decrease in bad debt expense driven in part by our risk and pricing strategy improvements through deployment of the Getaround TrustScore, and a $0.5 million decrease in legal services. These decreases are part of cost management efforts, and were partially offset by a $1.3 million net increase in compensation expense, primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation.
Depreciation and Amortization

Percentage of total revenues | | | 9 | % | | | 17 | % | | | | | | |
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $2.2 million, or 54%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease is primarily attributable to certain intangible assets being fully amortized in April 2024 as well as the disposal of certain fixed assets as a result of the Green St. Lease termination during the second quarter of 2024, resulting in less depreciation expense recorded for the third quarter of 2024. These decreases were partially offset by the increase in amortization expense related to newly developed technology placed in service in April 2024.

Our convertible debt and certain notes payable are carried at fair value on our balance sheet, which, at times, subjects such debt to significant fair value fluctuations. The convertible promissory note and note payable fair value adjustment changed by $9.4 million, or 108%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, following the change in the fair value of the outstanding convertible promissory notes and securities. Please refer to Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this document for additional details on fair valuation of underlying securities.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, income tax expense was $7,000 as compared to an income tax benefit of $0.2 million for the same period in 2023. Changes in our income tax expense (benefit) are primarily attributable to our international operations.
Segment and Geographical Results of Operations
We view and operate our business as one operating segment. Refer to Note 17 — Segment and Geographical Area Information to our consolidated financial statements included herein for additional details on this determination.
Key Business Metrics
We use the following key business metric to measure our performance, identify trends relevant to our business, formulate financial projections and operating plans, and make strategic decisions. As a marketplace platform we have one main key business metric: Trips.
Trips
Trips are a measure of unit transactions in our marketplace, one of the key variables impacting our service revenue. Trips represent the number of non-cancelled unique bookings that ended during the period, net of trips contributing to lease revenue. A Trip represents a single unit of transaction on our platform. We expect the number of Trips to grow as we attract prospective guests to the platform and as already existing cohorts of guests increase their activity on our platform.
| | | | |
| | Three Months Ended September 30, |
(In thousands) | | 2024 | | 2023 |
Trips | | 243 | | 271 |
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we facilitated 243 thousand Trips, a decrease of 28 thousand or 10% from the 271 thousand Trips during the same period in the year prior. The overall decrease in Trips is largely attributable to the suspension of operations in New York State.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use Gross Booking Value, Net Marketplace Value, 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. Additionally, a limitation of NMV is that it is a measure that we have defined for internal purposes that may be unique to us, and therefore may not enhance the comparability of our results to other companies in our industry that have similar arrangements but present the impact of fees and commissions differently. 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.
Gross Booking Value
Gross Booking Value (“GBV”) represents the dollar value of all service transactions on our platform during a period, charged to both guests and hosts, net of cancellations. This includes charges for transactions resulting from all revenue generating activities,
inclusive of all pass-through fees and taxes, net of lease revenue. As such, we consider GBV to be a key indicator of our market scale. Growth of GBV reflects our ability to attract and retain guests and hosts on our platform.
The following tables present a reconciliation of Gross Booking Value from the most comparable GAAP measure, Service Revenues, for the periods presented:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | |
(In thousands) | | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Service Revenues | | $ | 22,122 | | | $ | 23,387 | |
Plus: Host reimbursements | | | 42,875 | | | | 45,149 | |
Plus: Pass-through fees | | | 67 | | | $ | 700 | |
Gross Booking Value | | $ | 65,064 | | | $ | 69,236 | |
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, GBV amounted to $65.1 million, a decrease of $4.2 million, or 6%, from the same period in the year prior, primarily attributable to the suspension of operations in New York State, as well as the temporary reduction in revenue driven by the launch of our Getaround TrustScore, as discussed under the Total Revenues paragraph herein.
Net Marketplace Value
Net Marketplace Value (“NMV”) represents the dollar value of all transactions on our platform contributing to service revenue during a period, charged to both guests and hosts, net of cancellations, hosts’ earnings, incentives, and pass-throughs. NMV does not represent revenue earned by us and is not a substitute for service revenue, which consists of carsharing revenue and Connect subscription revenue recorded in accordance with GAAP. We believe that NMV is a meaningful measure of our operating performance because our ability to generate increases in NMV is strongly correlated to our ability to generate increases in total revenue. Management uses NMV as supplemental information to evaluate the global dollar value of transactions on our platform contributing to service revenue, understand our business and make operating decisions because service revenue by itself is not comparable across geographies due to the accounting treatment and contractual differences in trip insurance related charges to guests. While revenue generated in the United States includes amounts of insurance billed to the guest and recognized as Service Revenue under GAAP, revenue generated in the rest of the world excludes such amounts where guests contract directly with our insurance partners via our marketplace.
The following tables present a reconciliation of NMV from the most comparable GAAP measure, Service Revenues, for the periods presented:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | |
(In thousands) | | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Service Revenues | | $ | 22,122 | | | $ | 23,387 | |
Plus: EU insurance share(1) | | | 7,646 | | | | 7,367 | |
Net Marketplace Value | | $ | 29,768 | | | $ | 30,754 | |
(1)Represents the amount of insurance fees charged through the Getaround platform in Europe that are not recognized as revenue.
For three months ended September 30, 2024, NMV amounted to $29.8 million, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 3%, from the $30.8 million for the year prior. The change was primarily driven by the suspension of operations in New York State, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in the sale of European insurance.
Contribution Profit and Contribution Margin
Contribution Profit is defined as our Net revenue adjusted for variable operating expenses, which consist of cost of revenue, trip support costs, bad debt expense, and other operations and support costs. We define Contribution margin as Contribution profit divided
by Net 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.
The following tables present a reconciliation of Contribution Profit from the most comparable GAAP measure, Net revenue, for the periods presented:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | |
(In thousands, except percentages) | | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Net revenue | | $ | 22,397 | | | $ | 23,804 | |
Variable operating expenses | | | (15,110 | ) | | | (16,434 | ) |
Contribution profit | | $ | 7,287 | | | $ | 7,370 | |
| | | | | | |
Contribution margin | | | 33 | % | | | 31 | % |
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, Contribution profit slightly decreased by $0.1 million, a decrease of 1%, from the prior year. Lower net revenue was mostly offset by a decrease in variable operating expenses due to lower bad debt expense as compared to the third quarter of 2023.
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:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | |
(In thousands, except percentages) | | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Gross profit from Service revenue | | $ | 19,962 | | | $ | 20,422 | |

Our gross profit from Service revenue is calculated as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | |
(In thousands, except percentages) | | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Service revenue | | $ | 22,122 | | | $ | 23,387 | |

| | | | | | |
Gross profit from Service revenue | | $ | 19,962 | | | $ | 20,422 | |
Gross margin from Service revenue | | | 90 | % | | | 87 | % |
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, Trip contribution profit amounted to $10.7 million, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 11%, from the year prior. The change is primarily attributable to a $0.5 million net decrease in gross profit from Service revenue, a $0.6 million decrease in Cost of Service revenue and an increase in Trip support costs of $0.3 million related to claims expense.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, our Trip Contribution Margin was 48%, a decrease from our Trip Contribution Margin of 52% in the same period of the year prior. The reduction in our Trip Contribution Margin is largely attributable to an increase in Trip support costs and a decrease in Cost of Service revenue discussed above.
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; (iv) depreciation and amortization; (v) stock-based compensation expense; (vi) contingent compensation; and (vii) certain expenses determined to be incurred outside of the regular course of business which includes: one-time expenses related to the shutdown of the Green St. Office, legal fees to raise capital, costs related to certain legal matters, settlements and business combination-related legal fees, initial implementation projects, and transaction costs associated with proposed 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 is 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.
The following tables present a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from the most comparable GAAP measure, Net Loss, for the periods presented:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | |
(In thousands) | | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Net Loss | | $ | (15,524 | ) | | $ | (27,346 | ) |
Plus: warrant liability, convertible promissory note and note payable fair value adjustment | | | (722 | ) | | | 8,650 | |
Plus: interest and other income (expense), net | | | (254 | ) | | | (158 | ) |
Minus: income tax provision | | | 7 | | | | (244 | ) |
Plus: depreciation and amortization | | | 1,911 | | | | 4,135 | |
Plus: stock-based compensation | | | 3,605 | | | | 3,548 | |
Plus: expense not incurred in the regular course of business | | | 1,725 | | | | 138 | |
Adjusted EBITDA | | | (9,252 | ) | | | (11,277 | ) |
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $9.3 million, a $2.0 million, or 18% favorable change from the loss of $11.3 million from the same period in the year prior, driven primarily by an overall reduction in compensation expense as part of the Company's cost management efforts, as well as bad debt expense.

Total revenue | | $ | 58,127 | | | $ | 53,939 | | | $ | 4,188 | | | | 8 | % |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s total revenues increased by $4.2 million, or 8%, compared to the prior year.
Service revenue increased by $4.4 million, or 8%, driven primarily by incremental Service revenue of $8.7 million arising from the 2023 Business Combination, partially offset by the impact from the suspension of operations in New York State, as well as lower revenue from U.S. carsharing operations driven by the launch of our Getaround TrustScore, as previously discussed.
Lease revenue decreased by a total of $0.2 million, or 21%, primarily due to the suspension of operations in New York State which decreased the overall number of parking spaces generating Lease revenue.
Cost of Revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Percentage of total revenues | | | 9 | % | | | 9 | % | | | | | | |
Total cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) increased $0.3 million, or 5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Cost of revenue varies with both the price and number of the transactions, which impact transaction processing fees, as well as with overall traffic, including research and development activities, on our platform that impacts the hosting charges. The overall increase is largely attributable to the full nine months of cost of revenue generated in 2024 from the 2023 Business Combination.
Sales and Marketing

Percentage of total revenues | | | 24 | % | | | 29 | % | | | | | | |
Sales and marketing expense decreased $1.3 million, or 9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $1.0 million in advertising and related expenses, as well as a $0.4 million decrease in compensation expense pursuant to our cost control oriented operating strategy.
Operations and Support
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Percentage of total revenues | | | 73 | % | | | 83 | % | | | | | | |
Operations and support expenses decreased $2.5 million, or 5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $2.7 million decrease in compensation expense and a $1.4 million decrease in fuel, towing and roadside assistance expenses, as well as other reductions as a result of improvement in operations and support costs driven by Getaround TrustScore. The overall decrease was partially offset by a $1.6 million net increase in insurance and claims-related expenses.
Technology and Product Development
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Technology and product development costs decreased $0.2 million, or 2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a $0.5 million decrease in temporary shift work and product testing expenses, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in compensation expense.
General and Administrative

Percentage of total revenues | | | 66 | % | | | 75 | % | | | | | | |
General and administrative expenses decreased $1.7 million, or 4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was largely attributable to a $1.9 million decrease in bad debt largely driven by our risk and pricing strategy improvements through deployment of the Getaround TrustScore, a $1.7 million combined reduction in office rent and insurance expenses, and a $1.3 million decrease in non-legal professional services. These decreases were partially offset in part by a $3.0 million net increase in compensation expense, primarily due to an increase in severance expense, and a net increase of $0.4 million in legal services. Legal service costs may fluctuate from period to period.
Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $1.4 million, or 14%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease is primarily due to certain intangible assets being fully amortized during 2024, as well as the write-off of certain fixed assets as a result of the Green St. Lease termination.
Convertible Promissory Note and Note Payable Fair Value Adjustment

Our convertible debt and certain notes payable are carried at fair value on our balance sheet, which, at times, subjects such debt to significant fair value fluctuations. The convertible promissory note and note payable fair value adjustment changed by $2.7 million, or 34%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, following the change in the fair value of the outstanding convertible promissory notes and securities. Please refer to Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements to our consolidated financial statement included elsewhere in this document for additional details on fair valuation of underlying securities.

Warrant liability fair value adjustment changed by $0.2 million, or 98%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The fair value of the warrant liability fluctuates with the changes in the fair value of the underlying securities. Please refer to Note 4 – Fair Value Measurements to our consolidated financial statement included in this document for additional details on fair valuation of underlying warrants.

Interest income (expense), net, changed by $0.7 million, or 136%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change was primarily driven by a decrease in the balance of our interest yielding cash savings account as well as a $0.2 million increase in interest expense. There was also a $0.3 million gain on extinguishment of debt recorded in the third quarter of 2023, with no similar item occurring in 2024.

Other income, net changed by $9.8 million, or 2972%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change was primarily a result of a $10.8 million gain from the Broadspire settlement as discussed in the "Recent Developments" section herein. The $15 million settlement payment, less fees for legal services paid to the legal counsel to the Company, and other legal costs, resulted in a net cash payment to us in the amount of $10.3 million and recognition of other income in the amount of $10.8 million. Additionally, there was a $1.5 million gain from settlements with various vendors as well as a $0.5 million gain from the settlement with iHeartMedia. This change is partially offset by the $2.9 million loss from the Green St. Lease termination. Please refer to Note 11 - Leases to our consolidated financial statement included in this document for additional details.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we had income tax expense of $46.0 thousand, as compared to an income tax benefit of $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Any changes in our income tax benefit are primarily attributable to our international operations.
Segment and Geographical Results of Operations
We view and operate our business as one operating segment. Refer to Note 17 — Segment and Geographical Area Information to our consolidated financial statements included herein for additional details on this determination.
Key Business Metrics
We use the following key business metric to measure our performance, identify trends relevant to our business, formulate financial projections and operating plans, and make strategic decisions. As a marketplace platform we have one main key business metric: Trips.
Trips
Trips are a measure of unit transactions in our marketplace, one of the key variables impacting our service revenue. Trips represent the number of non-cancelled unique bookings that ended during the period, net of trips contributing to lease revenue. A Trip represents a single unit of transaction on our platform. We expect the number of Trips to grow as we attract prospective guests to the platform and as already existing cohorts of guests increase their activity on our platform.
| | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, |
(In thousands) | | 2024 | | 2023 |
Trips | | 680 | | 724 |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we facilitated 680 thousand Trips, a decrease of 44 thousand or 6% from the 724 thousand Trips during the same period in the year prior. The overall decrease in Trips is largely attributable to the suspension of operations in New York State.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use Gross Booking Value, Net Marketplace Value, 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. Additionally, a limitation of NMV is that it is a measure that we have defined for internal purposes that may be unique to us, and therefore may not enhance the comparability of our results to other companies in our industry that have similar arrangements but present the impact of fees and commissions differently. 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.
Gross Booking Value
Gross Booking Value (“GBV”) represents the dollar value of all service transactions on our platform during a period, charged to both guests and hosts, net of cancellations. This includes charges for transactions resulting from all revenue generating activities, inclusive of all pass-through fees and taxes, net of lease revenue. As such, we consider GBV to be a key indicator of our market scale. Growth of GBV reflects our ability to attract and retain guests and hosts on our platform.
The following tables present a reconciliation of Gross Booking Value from the most comparable GAAP measure, Service Revenues, for the periods presented:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |
(In thousands) | | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Service Revenues | | $ | 57,235 | | | $ | 52,810 | |
Plus: Host reimbursements | | | 105,279 | | | | 99,614 | |
Plus: Pass-through fees | | | 483 | | | $ | 2,287 | |
Gross Booking Value | | $ | 162,997 | | | $ | 154,711 | |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, GBV amounted to $163.0 million, an increase of $8.3 million, or 5%, from the same period in the year prior, primarily attributable to the $16.4 million of incremental GBV arising from the 2023 Business Combination and improvements in revenue management, which generated higher GBV per Trip, partially offset by the temporary reduction in revenue driven by the launch of our Getaround TrustScore, which reduced rented hours and correspondingly reduced GBV generated by lower trust, higher risk guests, as discussed under Total Revenues above, as well as the suspension of operations in New York State.
Net Marketplace Value
Net Marketplace Value (“NMV”) represents the dollar value of all transactions on our platform contributing to service revenue during a period, charged to both guests and hosts, net of cancellations, hosts’ earnings, incentives, and pass-throughs. NMV does not represent revenue earned by us and is not a substitute for service revenue, which consists of carsharing revenue and Connect subscription revenue recorded in accordance with GAAP. We believe that NMV is a meaningful measure of our operating performance because our ability to generate increases in NMV is strongly correlated to our ability to generate increases in total revenue. Management uses NMV as supplemental information to evaluate the global dollar value of transactions on our platform contributing to service revenue, understand our business and make operating decisions because service revenue by itself is not comparable across geographies due to the accounting treatment and contractual differences in trip insurance related charges to guests. While revenue generated in the United States includes amounts of insurance billed to the guest and recognized as Service Revenue under GAAP, revenue generated in the rest of the world excludes such amounts where guests contract directly with our insurance partners via our marketplace.
The following tables present a reconciliation of NMV from the most comparable GAAP measure, Service Revenues, for the periods presented:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |
(In thousands) | | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Service Revenues | | $ | 57,235 | | | $ | 52,810 | |
Plus: EU insurance share(1) | | | 19,223 | | | | 17,757 | |
Net Marketplace Value | | $ | 76,458 | | | $ | 70,567 | |
(1)Represents the amount of insurance fees charged through the Getaround platform in Europe that are not recognized as revenue.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, NMV amounted to $76.5 million, an increase of $5.9 million, or 8%, from the $70.6 million for the year prior. The change was primarily driven by a $5.7 million increase in Service revenue and a $1.2 million increase in the sale of European insurance.
Contribution Profit and Contribution Margin
Contribution Profit is defined as our Net revenue adjusted for variable operating expenses, which consist of cost of revenue, trip support costs, bad debt expense, and other operations and support costs. We define Contribution margin as Contribution profit divided by Net 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.
The following tables present a reconciliation of Contribution Profit from the most comparable GAAP measure, Net revenue, for the periods presented:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |
(In thousands, except percentages) | | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Net revenue | | $ | 58,137 | | | $ | 53,945 | |
Variable operating expenses | | | (42,820 | ) | | | (43,909 | ) |
Contribution profit | | $ | 15,317 | | | $ | 10,036 | |
| | | | | | |
Contribution margin | | | 26 | % | | | 19 | % |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Contribution profit increased by $5.3 million, an increase of 53%, from the prior year. The change is attributable to a $4.2 million increase in Net revenue, as well as a $1.1 million decrease in variable operating expenses due to lower bad debt expense.
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:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |
(In thousands, except percentages) | | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Gross profit from service revenue | | $ | 50,002 | | | $ | 45,014 | |

Our gross profit from Service revenue is calculated as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |
(In thousands, except percentages) | | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Service revenue | | $ | 57,235 | | | $ | 52,810 | |
Less: Cost of Service revenue, net of amortization and depreciation | | | (5,276 | ) | | | (4,995 | ) |

| | | | | | |
Gross profit from Service revenue | | $ | 50,002 | | | $ | 45,014 | |
Gross margin from Service revenue | | | 87 | % | | | 85 | % |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Trip contribution profit amounted to $27.2 million, an increase of $2.4 million, or 10%, from the year prior. The change is attributable to a $5.0 million increase in gross profit from Service revenue partially offset by a $1.8 million net increase in Trip support costs and a $0.8 million decrease in Cost of Service revenue primarily driven by incremental cost of operations arising from the 2023 Business Combination. The increase in Trip support costs was partially offset by the beneficial impact of Getaround TrustScore.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our Trip Contribution Margin was 48%, an increase from our Trip Contribution Margin of 47% in the same period of 2023. The increase in our Trip Contribution Margin is largely attributable to an increase in gross profit from Service revenue discussed above.
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; (iv) depreciation and amortization; (v) stock-based compensation expense; (vi) contingent compensation; and (vii) certain expenses determined to be incurred outside of the regular course of business which includes: one-time expenses related to the shutdown of the Green St. Office, legal fees to raise capital, costs related to certain legal matters and business combination-related legal fees, and investments in preparation of going public, initial implementation projects and transaction costs associated with proposed 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.
The following tables present a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from the most comparable GAAP measure, Net Loss, for the periods presented:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |
(In thousands) | | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Net Loss | | $ | (58,514 | ) | | $ | (80,414 | ) |
Plus: warrant liability, convertible promissory note and note payable fair value adjustment | | | 5,309 | | | | 7,801 | |
Plus: interest and other income (expense), net | | | (9,988 | ) | | | (837 | ) |
Minus: income tax provision | | | 46 | | | | (623 | ) |
Plus: depreciation and amortization | | | 8,556 | | | | 9,914 | |
Plus: stock-based compensation | | | 11,016 | | | | 9,953 | |
Plus: expense not incurred in the regular course of business | | | 7,628 | | | | 720 | |
Adjusted EBITDA | | | (35,947 | ) | | | (53,486 | ) |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $35.9 million, a favorable change by $17.5 million, or 33%, from the loss of $53.5 million from the same period in 2023. The favorable change was driven primarily by an overall decrease in operating expenses, including an overall decrease in compensation expense, office rent, insurance expense, professional services, bad debt expense and trip support costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity have historically consisted of cash generated from our financing activities. As of September 30, 2024, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and cash equivalents of $30.8 million. Cash and cash equivalents consisted of institutional money market funds, and similar instruments that have an original maturity date of less than six months and are readily convertible into known amounts of cash.
Legacy Getaround consummated the Business Combination with InterPrivate II on December 8, 2022. Redemptions of Class A Common Stock prior to the 2022 Business Combination significantly reduced the proceeds from the transaction and resulted in the Company having insufficient capital to fund its business operations and continue as a going concern within at least one year from the transaction date. As a result, we have sought, and expect to continue to seek additional sources of capital in the near term.
We have incurred cumulative losses from inception through September 30, 2024 and expect to incur additional losses for the foreseeable future. Our ability to fund our operations and capital expenditures beyond our current cash and cash equivalents will depend on our ability to generate cash from operating activities which is subject to future operating performance, as well as general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, and other conditions, some of which may be beyond our control. We expect operating losses and negative cash flows to continue for the foreseeable future as we continue to develop and promote our platform, as well as to grow our marketplace globally. Our future capital requirements depend on many factors, including our needs to support our business growth, to respond to business opportunities, challenges, or unforeseen circumstances, or for other reasons. As a result, if our current cash runway is insufficient for us to be able to achieve or maintain positive cash flow, we will be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected. These matters raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue in existence as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.
On November 12, 2024, the Company and Mudrick Capital Management L.P., on behalf of certain funds, investors, entities or accounts that are managed, sponsored or advised by Mudrick Capital Management L.P. (the “Purchaser”), amended and restated the Sixth A&R Super Note to reflect an increased aggregate principal amount of $97,842,574 (the “Seventh A&R Super Note”). The Seventh A&R Super Note will mature on August 7, 2026, at which time 108% of the principal and accrued interest will become due, payable in cash, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased.
Cash Flows
The following table presents the summary cash flow information for the periods indicated:

Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 15,172 | | | $ | (42,130 | ) |
Operating Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, cash flows used in operating activities were $44.8 million and $44.0 million, respectively. Comparability of operating cash flows between comparable periods was impacted by changes in working capital primarily driven by following factors: (i) sales volumes and timing of collections, (ii) volume of purchases and timing of payments, and (iii) fluctuations in liability from obligation to remit insurance fees collected on behalf of an insurance company in Europe due to the timing of payments.
Investing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash flows used in investing activities amounted to $0.9 million, consisting of investments in software development.
Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 amounted to $11.8 million, consisting of $0.8 million in purchases of property and equipment, $3.3 million of capitalized software, and $7.8 million related to the acquisition of Hyrecar, partially offset by $1.0 million from proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $60.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to proceeds from the issuance of the Mudrick Super Priority Note.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $13.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, consisting primarily of $3.0 million in proceeds from issuance of the Mudrick Bridge Note and $11.7 million in proceeds from issuance of the Mudrick Super Priority Note.
Contractual Obligations and Commitment
Contractual obligations are cash amounts that we are obligated to pay as part of certain contracts that we have entered into during the normal course of business. Below is a table that shows our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(1)Refer to Note 10 - Notes Payable of this report for further details regarding our long-term debt obligations. Amounts included are exclusive of accrued interest.
(2)Refer to Note 11 - Leases of this report for further details regarding our operating lease obligations.
The contractual commitment amounts in the table above are associated with agreements that are enforceable and legally binding. Obligations under contracts that we can cancel without a material penalty are not included in the table above.
Contingencies
We are involved in claims, lawsuits, indirect tax matters, and proceedings arising from the ordinary course of our business. Legal fees and other expenses associated with such actions are expensed as incurred. We record a provision for a liability when we determine that a loss-related matter is both probable and reasonably estimable. We disclose material contingencies when we believe that a loss is not probable but reasonably possible and can be reasonably estimated. These claims, suits, and proceedings are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. Determining both probability and the estimated amount is inherently uncertain and requires making numerous judgments, assumptions, and estimates. Many of these legal and tax contingencies can take years to resolve. Should any of these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures of contingencies at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
We deem our critical accounting policies and estimates to be as follows: Business combination accounting under ASC 805 – Business Combination (see Note 1 - Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation); Revenue Recognition under ASC 606 - Revenue from contracts with customers; Stock-Based Compensation under ASC 718 - Compensation—Stock Compensation; Costs and expenses; and Goodwill and other intangible assets under ASC 350 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other. For a description of our significant accounting policies and estimates, see Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report.
The critical accounting policies requiring estimates, assumptions, and judgments that we believe have the most significant impact on our financials are described below.
Fair Value Measurements
We measure fair value based on the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. We use significant unobservable inputs to estimate the fair value of certain assets and liabilities.
Company Valuation and Fair Value Calculation of Common Stock Warrant Liability, Convertible Promissory Notes, and Certain Notes Payable
In the absence of a public trading market, prior to the closing of the 2022 Business Combination the fair value of our common stock was determined by the Getaround Board. The Getaround Board considers numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of our common stock at each meeting in which awards are approved. The factors considered include, but are not limited to:
(i)the results of contemporaneous independent third-party valuations of our common stock;
(ii)the prices, rights, preferences and privileges of our preferred stock relative to those of our common stock;
(iii)the lack of marketability of our common stock;
(iv)actual operating and financial results;
(v)current business conditions and projects;
(vi)the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event; and
(vii)precedent transactions involving our shares.
The fair value of our common stock was determined with an option pricing method (“OPM”) that utilizes both income and market approaches, which are probability weighted depending on the scenario of (i) a consummation of a business combination transaction with a special purpose acquisition company or (ii) remaining private.
The valuation methodology utilized under the remain private scenario was determined by first valuing our total equity, as of the end of each reporting period. This value was determined utilizing both income and market approaches which were weighted equally in the valuation. The income approach was applied through the use of a discounted cash flow analysis and the market approach was applied through the use of guideline public company multiples that were used to value our company under certain scenarios.
In determining the value under the consummation of a business combination transaction with a special purpose acquisition company scenario, we utilized the preliminary terms of the letter of intent with such special purpose acquisition company. In addition, as the letter of intent provides shareholders the right to receive an earnout, we determined the probability-weighted value per share associated with the earnout by utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the probability of achieving the earnout and its fair value.
The fair value of our warrant liability is estimated based on the probability weighted average values from (i) a Black-Scholes calculation and (ii) the fair value calculated from the Company Valuation OPM under the scenario of remaining private. The value from the Black-Scholes calculation reflects the value in an initial public offering scenario with the contractual term of the warrants, which is weighted by an estimated probability of a potential initial public offering at the applicable valuation. The value from the OPM reflects the value in an alternative exit scenario at which point the warrants were expected to be exercised. The OPM value was weighted by an estimated probability of a potential alternative exit event at the applicable valuation date.
The significant unobservable inputs into the valuation model used to estimate the fair value of the common stock warrants include:
•the timing of potential events (for example, a potential sale of the business or public offering) and their probability of occurring,
•the selection of guideline public company multiples,
•a discount for the lack of marketability of the preferred and common stock,
•the projected future cash flows, and
•the discount rate used to calculate the present value of the estimated equity value allocated to each share class.
In determining the fair value of the Mudrick Convertible Notes and Mudrick Super Priority Note, the Company used a market-based approach. The valuation method utilized a negotiated discount rate and a market yield rate which are unobservable inputs.
An increase or decrease in any of the unobservable inputs in isolation could result in a material increase or decrease in the estimated fair value. In the future, depending on the weight of evidence and valuation approaches used, these or other inputs may have a more significant impact on the estimated fair value.
Stock-Based Compensation
We measure compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards, including stock options and restricted stock units granted to employees, directors and non-employees based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The determination of the grant date fair value using an option-pricing model is affected by our estimated common stock fair value, as well as assumptions regarding a number of other complex and subjective variables. These variables include our expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the award, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the award and expected dividends. Stock-based compensation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. These amounts are reduced by forfeitures as the forfeitures occur.

Based on that evaluation, our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2024, because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described in Part II, Item 9A in our Annual Report.
There have been no material changes in our controls and procedures as compared to the disclosures in Part II, Item 9A in our Annual Report.
PART II - Other information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
For a discussion of legal proceedings, see “Note 12: Commitments and Contingencies” of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I. Item 1A of our Annual Report, under the section entitled “Risk Factors,” that represent challenges that we face in connection with the successful implementation of our strategy and growth of our business. You should carefully consider the Risk Factors, together with all of the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in the “Risk Factors,” alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may adversely affect our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination and may harm our business.
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors described in Part I. Item 1A of our Annual Report.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern based on our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024. We will need to raise additional funding, which may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, to continue as a going concern. Failure to obtain capital when needed may require us to curtail or cease our operations.
Our consolidated financial statements were prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2024, we had $30.8 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents available to fund future operations. We expect operating losses and negative cash flows to continue for the foreseeable future as we continue to develop and promote our platform, as well as to grow our user base through new markets. We estimate that our existing cash resources will not be sufficient to fund our operations for at least 12 months from the issuance date of the financial statements included elsewhere in this report. Our ability to continue as a going concern will depend on our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies, reduce or contain expenditures and increase revenues. Based on these factors, management determined that there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern in its report dated March 28, 2024, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our audited financial statements, and it is likely that investors will lose all or part of their investment. When we seek additional financing to fund our business activities as a result of the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide additional funding to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
Our common stock trades on the OTC Markets Group platform and there can be no assurance it will trade on the NYSE again.
Effective July 10, 2024, NYSE suspended trading in our common stock and started the process to delist our common stock from the NYSE because we did not comply with Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, which requires listed companies to maintain an average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading day period of at least $15,000,000. Since July 10, 2024, our common stock has been quoted on the OTC Pink Market under the ticker symbol “GETR.” The OTC Markets Group platform is generally considered less efficient than the NYSE. Quotation of our common stock on the OTC Markets Group platform may reduce the liquidity of our securities, limit the number of investors who trade in our securities, result in a lower stock price and larger spread in the bid and ask prices for shares of our common stock and could have an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may become subject to the SEC rules that affect “penny stocks,” which are stocks below $5.00 per share that are not listed or quoted on a principal exchange such as the NYSE. These SEC rules would make it more difficult for brokers to find buyers for our securities and could lower the net sales prices that our stockholders are able to obtain. If our price of common stock remains low, we may not be able to raise equity capital.
In addition, Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and institutional accredited investors. For transactions covered by this rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and affect the ability of holders to sell their shares of our common stock in the secondary market. Moreover, investors may be less interested in purchasing low-priced securities because the brokerage commissions, as a percentage of the total transaction value, tend to be higher for such securities, and some investment funds will not invest in low-priced securities (other than those which focus on small-capitalization companies or low-priced securities).
On July 23, 2024, we submitted a request for a review of the NYSE’s determination to suspend trading in our common stock and commence the process for delisting our common stock from the NYSE. On August 2, 2024, the Company notified NYSE that it determined to officially withdraw its request for a hearing.
Our common stock and public warrants are quoted on the OTC Venture Market, but a market may not develop for these securities.
As described above, on July 9, 2024, we received notice that NYSE had suspended trading of our common stock on the NYSE effective immediately and started the process to delist our common stock from the NYSE. Our common stock resumed trading on the OTC Markets Group platform under its ticker symbol “GETR” on July 10, 2024. Our public warrants previously were listed on NYSE under the symbol “GETR WS.” On November 28, 2023, the NYSE halted trading in our public warrants due to the low trading price of the warrants and removed the public warrants from listing and registration on NYSE effective as of December 26, 2023. The public warrants are now quoted on the OTC Venture Market under the symbol “GETRW.” The over-the-counter market is a significantly more limited market than NYSE due to factors such as the reduced number of investors that will consider investing in securities traded over the counter, the reduced number of market makers in the securities, and the reduced number of securities analysts that follow such securities. As a result of the foregoing, holders of our securities may find it difficult to resell their securities at prices quoted in the market or at all. You may be unable to sell our securities unless a market for such securities can be established or sustained.
Our current cash runway is insufficient for us to be able to achieve or maintain positive cash flow and there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As such, we will require additional capital to support our operations or the growth of our business, and we cannot be certain that this capital will be available on reasonable terms when required, or at all.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the issuance date of the financial statements included elsewhere in this report and we expect our expenditures to continue to be significant in the foreseeable future as we implement our operating plans under new leadership, and that our level of expenditures will be significantly affected by the growth of supply and demand for shared vehicles in our marketplace. Additionally, the fact that we have a limited operating history at our current scale and as an international company means that our business model has not yet been fully proven. As a result, our future capital requirements may be uncertain and actual capital requirements may be different from those currently anticipated. We will need to seek equity or debt financing to finance a portion of our capital expenditures. Such financing might not be available to us in a timely manner or on terms that are acceptable, or at all.
Our ability to obtain the necessary financing to carry out our operating plans is subject to a number of factors, including general market conditions and investor acceptance of our business model. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms and conditions of such financing unattractive or unavailable to us. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds, we will have to significantly reduce our spending, delay or cancel our planned activities or substantially change our corporate structure. We might not be able to obtain any funding, and we might not have sufficient resources to conduct our business as projected, both of which could mean that we would be forced to curtail or discontinue our operations.
In addition, our future capital needs and other business reasons could require us to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities could dilute our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations or our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders. If we cannot raise additional funds when we need or want them, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be negatively impacted.
