Current report

Flexdrive has also begun providing autonomous vehicle fleet management services where we operate fleets of AV vehicles for AV manufacturer partners. These services may include commitments related to vehicle availability, maintenance, charging, cleaning, staging and depot operations. Failure of Flexdrive’s ability to meet its service obligations in whole or in part could harm our reputation, expose us to liability, including contractual claims and litigation, increase our operating costs and adversely affect our relationships with AV partners.

Previous wording

While we remain focused on operating efficiently, our expenses may increase in the future as we develop and launch new offerings and platform features, expand in existing and new markets, including new geographies, and continue to invest in our platform and customer engagement. In addition, certain costs, such as insurance and driver pay and incentives have increased or fluctuated as a result of macroeconomic factors and the development and maturation of our business and the rideshare industry, and may continue to do so. We may be unable to accurately predict these costs and our investments may not result in increased revenue or growth in our business. For example, we have incurred and will continue to incur additional costs and expenses associated with the passage of Proposition 22 in California, HB 2076 in Washington, and elsewhere, and implementation of operational changes as part of agreements with the New York and Massachusetts Attorneys General, including providing drivers in these states with new earnings opportunities and protections, including contributions towards on-the-job injury insurance, other benefits and minimum guaranteed earnings. In addition, various jurisdictions have introduced legislation setting high earnings standards and increasing other costs to the business including insurance and industry-wide sectoral bargaining for rideshare drivers. Due to various factors, including inflation, we anticipate that our insurance costs will continue to increase and will impact our profitability. Furthermore, we have expanded over time to include more asset-intensive offerings such as our network of shared bikes and scooters, our purchase and/or operation of AVs and related infrastructure, and Flexdrive. These offerings and programs require significant capital investments and recurring costs, including debt payments, maintenance, depreciation, asset life and asset replacement costs, and if we are not able to maintain sufficient levels of utilization of such assets, such offerings are otherwise not successful or we decide to shut down any such offerings, our investments may not generate sufficient returns and our financial condition may be adversely affected. In addition to the above, a determination in, resolution of, or settlement of, any legal proceeding related to driver classification matters may require us to significantly alter our existing business model and operations (including potentially suspending or ceasing operations in impacted jurisdictions), increase our costs and impact our ability to add qualified drivers to our platform and grow our business, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and our ability to achieve or maintain profitability in the future. Additionally, stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and other equity awards is expected to continue to be a significant expense for the foreseeable future, and as of March 31, …

The U.S. ridesharing market was introduced in 2012 and has continued to grow over time. However, it is uncertain to what extent the market will continue to grow, if at all. New technologies and changing consumer preferences may decrease growth rates or shift the ridesharing market and demand for ridesharing services. For example, certain of our markets are more mature than others and the growth of ridesharing in those markets may slow or decline. In addition, the market for our other offerings, such as our network of shared bikes and scooters, is continuing to develop and change, and it is uncertain whether demand for bike and scooter sharing will continue to grow and achieve wide market acceptance. Our success depends to a substantial extent on the willingness of people to widely adopt and continue to use ridesharing and our other offerings across a variety of use cases, as well as our ability to continue to expand our business to new users and in new markets, and to shift our business model in line with consumer preferences. If the public does not perceive ridesharing or our other offerings as beneficial, or chooses not to adopt them or continue to use them as a result of concerns regarding public health or safety, affordability, longer-term behavioral and social shifts, or for other reasons, whether as a result of incidents on our platform or on our competitors’ platforms, health concerns, or otherwise, then the market for our offerings may not further develop, may develop more slowly than we expect or may not achieve the growth potential we expect. Additionally, from time to time we re-evaluate the markets in which we operate and the performance of our offerings, and we have discontinued and may in the future discontinue operations in certain markets if, among other reasons, such markets are not developing as we expected. Any of the foregoing risks and challenges could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The U.S. ridesharing market was introduced in 2012 and has continued to grow over time. We have since expanded to markets outside the U.S. which have grown over time.

We require drivers to carry automobile insurance in most countries we offer services in, and in many cases we also procure insurance on behalf of drivers. In cases where we also procure insurance, from the time a driver becomes available to accept rides until the driver logs off and is no longer available to accept rides, we, through our wholly-owned insurance subsidiary and deductibles, often bear substantial financial risk with respect to auto-related incidents, including auto liability, uninsured and underinsured motorist, auto physical damage, first party injury coverages including personal injury protection under U.S. state law and general business liabilities up to certain limits. To comply with insurance regulatory requirements in jurisdictions we operate in, we procure a number of third-party insurance policies which provide the required coverage in such jurisdictions. In nearly all U.S. states, our insurance subsidiary reinsures a portion, which may change from time to time, of the auto-related risk from some third-party insurance providers. In connection with our reinsurance and deductible arrangements, we deposit funds into trust accounts with a third-party financial institution from which some third-party insurance providers are reimbursed for claims payments. As we continue to expand our international footprint, we face increasingly complex and diverse regulatory insurance frameworks. If we fail to comply with these evolving regulatory frameworks, or if our third-party insurance providers or claims administrators become insolvent or otherwise fail to fulfill their obligations, we may be exposed to significant unmitigated losses. Such events could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Although we have developed systems and processes designed to protect our users’ data and prevent breaches and incidents, these measures cannot guarantee total security or prevent incidents from impacting our platform. Our information technology and infrastructure are subject to cyberattacks, breaches and incidents, including ransomware or other malware, which have resulted in and may result in interruptions to our operations or unavailability of our platform. Further, unauthorized parties or authorized third parties may be able to access our users’ personal information and payment card data that are accessible through those systems. Additionally, as we expand our operations, including licensing or sharing data with third parties and acquiring or partnering with other companies, we increasingly have employees or third-party relationships in jurisdictions outside the U.S., or expand work-from-home practices of our employees, our exposure to cyberattacks, breaches and incidents may increase. As a result of conflicts such as the war in Ukraine, there may be a heightened risk of potential cyberattacks by state actors or others. Further, employee and service provider error, malfeasance or other vulnerabilities, bugs or errors in the storage, use or transmission of personal information could result in an actual or perceived breach or incident. In the past, there have been allegations regarding violations of our policies restricting access to personal information we store, and we may be subject to these types of allegations in the future. Our service providers also face various security threats, and we and our third-party service providers may not have the resources or technical sophistication to anticipate, prevent, respond to, or mitigate cyberattacks or security breaches or incidents, and we or they may face difficulties or delays in identifying and responding to cyberattacks, breaches and incidents.

Our Express Drive program and potential future fleet businesses expose us to certain risks, including reductions in the utilization of vehicles in the fleets.

Current wording

Our Express Drive program and planned future fleet businesses and operations expose us to certain risks, including reductions in the utilization of vehicles in the fleets.

Previous wording

Our independently managed subsidiary, Flexdrive operates a portion of the Express Drive vehicle rental program for drivers and sources its fleet from a range of auto manufacturers. In addition, we have established environmental programs that may limit the range of auto manufacturers or vehicles that Flexdrive can source or purchase from. To the extent that any of these auto manufacturers significantly curtail production, increase the cost of purchasing cars or decline to provide cars to Flexdrive on terms or at prices consistent with past agreements, Flexdrive may be unable to obtain a sufficient number of vehicles for Lyft to operate the Express Drive business without significantly increasing fleet costs or reducing volumes. In the event of natural disasters or public health crises or pandemics, operating rental locations may be difficult or impossible. Flexdrive’s ability to make vehicles available for rent through the Express Drive program, or demand for the Express Drive Program, has been and could be adversely affected, resulting in reduced utilization of the vehicles in the fleets, which would adversely affect our profitability.

Current wording

Our independently managed subsidiary, Flexdrive operates a portion of the Express Drive vehicle rental program for drivers and sources its fleet from a range of auto manufacturers. In order to operate the Express Drive vehicle rental program, we rely on these auto manufacturers to provide vehicles. To the extent that any of these auto manufacturers significantly curtail production, increase the cost of purchasing cars or decline to provide cars to Flexdrive on terms or at prices consistent with past agreements, Flexdrive may be unable to obtain a sufficient number of vehicles for Lyft to operate the Express Drive business without significantly increasing fleet costs or reducing volumes. In addition, we have established environmental programs that may limit the range of auto manufacturers or vehicles that Flexdrive can source or purchase from, which would limit our ability to find alternative sources. In the event of natural disasters or public health crises or pandemics, operating rental locations may be difficult or impossible. Flexdrive’s ability to make vehicles available for rent through the Express Drive program, or demand for the Express Drive Program, has been and could be adversely affected, resulting in reduced utilization of the vehicles in the fleets, which would adversely affect our profitability.

We use artificial intelligence (“AI”) (including machine learning and automated decision making) for our internal work streams and productivity as well as in our platform, offerings, services and features, which may present additional risks, including risks inherent in its use. We are making investments in expanding our AI and agentic capabilities in our platform, offerings, services and features, including ongoing deployment and improvement of existing machine learning, AI and agentic technologies, as well as developing new features using AI technologies, including, for example, generative AI. AI algorithms or automated processing of data may be flawed and datasets may be insufficient or contain inaccurate or biased information, which can create discriminatory outcomes. AI algorithms may use third-party inputs with unclear intellectual property rights or interests. Intellectual property ownership and license rights, including copyright, of generative and other AI output, have not been fully interpreted by courts or fully addressed by federal or state regulations. The U.S. and other countries are considering comprehensive legal compliance frameworks specifically for AI, which is a trend that may increase now that the European Union (the “EU”) has adopted the first such framework in its Artificial Intelligence Act. In addition, there may be additional legislation or regulations from government bodies that similarly impose compliance obligations for AI. Any failure or perceived failure by us or our service providers to comply with such requirements could have an adverse impact on our business. AI use or management by us or others, including decisions based on automated processing or profiling, inappropriate or controversial data practices, or insufficient disclosures regarding machine learning, automated decision making, and algorithms, have and could impair the operationality or acceptance of AI solutions or subject us to lawsuits, regulatory investigations or other harm, such as negative impacts to the value of our intellectual property or our brand. These deficiencies could also undermine the decisions, predictions or analysis AI applications produce, or lead to unintentional bias and discrimination, subjecting us to competitive harm, legal liability, and brand or reputational harm. The rapid evolution of AI may require us to allocate additional resources to help implement AI in order to minimize unintended or harmful impacts, and may also require us to make additional investments in the development of proprietary datasets, machine learning models or other systems, which may be costly.

Our ability to attract new qualified drivers and new riders, retain existing qualified drivers and existing riders and increase utilization of our offerings will depend in part on our ability to successfully create and introduce new offerings and to improve upon and enhance our existing offerings. As a result, we may introduce significant changes to our existing offerings or develop and introduce new and unproven offerings. If these new or enhanced offerings are unsuccessful, including as a result of any inability to obtain and maintain required permits or authorizations or other regulatory constraints or because they fail to generate sufficient return on our investments, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. Furthermore, new driver or rider demands regarding service or platform features, the availability of superior competitive offerings or a deterioration in the quality of our offerings or our ability to bring new or enhanced offerings to market quickly and efficiently could negatively affect the attractiveness of our platform and the economics of our business and require us to make substantial changes to and additional investments in our offerings or our business model. In addition, we frequently experiment with and test different offerings and marketing strategies, and some of our recent features have included Women+ Connect, Price Lock, Lyft Silver, and our Lyft fee cap. If our experiments and tests are unsuccessful, or if the offerings and strategies we introduce based on the results of such experiments and tests do not perform as expected, our ability to attract new qualified drivers and new riders, retain existing qualified drivers and existing riders and maintain or increase utilization of our offerings may be adversely affected.

We have also incurred, and may in the future incur, losses from fraud and other misuse of our platform by drivers and riders. As an example of losses, we have previously and continue to experience reduced revenue from actual and alleged unauthorized rides fulfilled and miles traveled in connection with our Concierge offering. If we are unable to adequately anticipate and address such misuse either through increased controls, platform solutions or other means, our partner relationships, business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We have integrations with a variety of productivity, collaboration, travel, data management and security vendors. As our offerings expand and evolve, including to the extent we continue to develop autonomous technology, we may have an increasing number of integrations with other third-party applications, products and services. Third-party applications, products and services are constantly evolving, and we may not be able to maintain or modify our platform to ensure its compatibility with third-party offerings following development changes. In addition, some of our competitors or technology partners may take actions which disrupt the interoperability of our platform with their own products or services, or exert strong business influence on our ability to, and the terms on which we operate and distribute our platform. As our respective products evolve, we expect the types and levels of competition to increase. Should any of our competitors or technology partners modify their products, standards or terms of use in a manner that degrades the functionality or performance of our platform or is otherwise unsatisfactory to us or gives preferential treatment to competitive products or services, our products, platform, business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Although we have policies and processes for using open source software to avoid subjecting our platform and offerings to conditions we do not intend, the terms of many open source licenses have not been interpreted by U.S. or foreign courts, and there is a risk that these licenses could be construed in a way that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to provide or distribute our platform and offerings. From time to time, there have been claims challenging the ownership of open source software against companies that incorporate open source software into their solutions. As a result, we could be subject to lawsuits by parties claiming ownership of what we believe to be open source software. Moreover, we cannot assure you that our processes for controlling our use of open source software in our platform will be effective. If we are held to have breached or failed to fully comply with all the terms and conditions of an open source software license, we could face infringement or other liability, or be required to seek costly licenses from third parties to continue providing our offerings on terms that are not economically feasible, to re-engineer our platform, to discontinue or delay the provision of our offerings if re-engineering could not be accomplished on a timely basis or to make generally available, in source code form, our proprietary code, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In February 2026, we authorized the 2026 Share Repurchase Program for the repurchase of up to $1.0 billion of our Class A common stock, in addition to amounts remaining available under our 2025 Share Repurchase Program under which we were authorized to repurchase a total of $750 million of our Class A common stock. The 2025 Share Repurchase Program was completed as of March 31, 2026. Under existing or any future share repurchase programs, we may make share repurchases through a variety of methods, including open share market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. Our Share Repurchase Programs generally have no time limit, do not obligate us to repurchase any specific number of shares, and may be suspended at any time at our discretion and without prior notice. The timing and amount of repurchases, if any, will be subject to liquidity, stock price, business and market conditions, compliance with applicable legal requirements, such as Delaware surplus and solvency tests, management discretion, and other relevant factors. Any failure to repurchase stock after we have announced our intention to do so may negatively impact our reputation and investor confidence in us and may negatively impact our stock price. The existence of a share repurchase program could cause our stock price to be higher than it otherwise would be and could potentially reduce the market liquidity for our stock. Although the Share Repurchase Programs are intended to enhance long-term stockholder value, there is no assurance they will do so because the market price of our Class A common stock may decline below the levels at which we repurchased shares and short-term stock price fluctuations could reduce the effectiveness of the Share Repurchase Programs. Repurchasing our Class A common stock will reduce the amount of cash we have available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions or business opportunities, and other general corporate requirements, and we may fail to realize the anticipated long-term stockholder value of the Share Repurchase Programs.

The 2026 Share Repurchase Program has $850.0 million remaining available for repurchases as of June 30, 2026, and the 2025 Share Repurchase Program was completed as of March 31, 2026.

Deteriorating macroeconomic conditions, including slower growth or recession, inflation and related high interest rates, increases to fuel and other energy costs or vehicle costs, changes in the labor market or decreases in consumer spending power or confidence, are likely to result in decreased discretionary spending and reduced demand for our platform. In addition, changes in macroeconomic conditions due to actual or proposed tariff increases could change consumer behavior and adversely affect rider demand for our platform, advertiser demand for Lyft Ads, and costs related to our operations, including but not limited to costs related to our bikes and scooters. Further, changes in corporate spending, including cost-cuts and layoffs, may adversely impact business travel, commuting and other business-related expenditures and impact our Lyft Business customers. In addition, uncertainty and volatility in the banking and financial services sectors, inflation and high interest rates, increased fuel and other energy costs, increased labor and benefits costs and increased insurance costs have, and may continue to, put pressure on economic conditions, which has led, and could lead, to greater operating expenses. For example, inflation has increased in recent years and is expected to further increase medical costs and vehicle repair costs, including increased prices of new and used vehicle parts, which has resulted in increases in our insurance costs. Similarly, these factors, as well as increased fuel costs, increase our costs as well as costs for drivers on our platform. Many of these factors are out of our control and make it difficult to accurately forecast Gross Bookings, revenues and operating results, particularly in the long-term, and could negatively affect our ability to meet our target operating performance and our (and our strategic partners’) ability to make decisions about future investments and strategies. Further, we may need to make changes to our business to respond to these conditions and be able to compete effectively. For example, we have adjusted our pricing in response to competitive pressures caused by changes in our marketplace, which has in the past contributed to a decline in our revenue and may cause a decline in revenue in future quarters.

Previous wording

The ridesharing industry is increasingly regulated. We have been subject to intense regulatory pressure from state, provincial and municipal regulatory authorities, and a number of them have imposed limitations on ridesharing and bike and scooter sharing, and certain jurisdictions have adopted rules governing minimum driver earnings for ridesharing platforms. Other jurisdictions in which we currently operate or may want to operate have and could continue to consider legislation regulating driver earnings. We could also face similar regulatory restrictions from foreign regulators as we expand operations internationally, particularly in areas where we face competition from local incumbents. In addition, we face new regulations targeted at artificial intelligence and automated decision making technologies, which may impose operational and regulatory requirements relating to our technology. Adverse changes in laws or regulations at all levels of government or bans on or material limitations to our offerings could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Other jurisdictions in which we currently operate or may want to operate have and could continue to consider legislation regulating driver earnings and engagement. Recently, the City of New York enacted a law pertaining to driver deactivations that could undermine our safety initiatives and our contractual relationships with users on our platform. We initiated a lawsuit against the City of New York in federal court to challenge this law on constitutional grounds and a preliminary injunction has been granted temporarily blocking the City of New York from enforcing the law. We are continuing to pursue a permanent injunction. We could also face similar regulatory restrictions from foreign regulators as we expand operations internationally, particularly in areas where we face competition from local incumbents.

Previous wording

Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in the conditions in our business, including increased complexity resulting from any international expansion, including our acquisitions of Freenow and TBR, flexible work arrangements, new offerings on our platform or from strategic transactions. Further, weaknesses or deficiencies in our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting have been discovered in the past, and other weaknesses or deficiencies may be discovered in the future. Our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting are not expected to prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Due to inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Previous wording

As part of our business strategy, we will continue to consider a wide array of potential strategic transactions, including acquisitions of businesses, new technologies, services and other assets, joint ventures and strategic investments that complement our business, such as our acquisition of Freenow in July 2025 and our acquisition of TBR in October 2025, as well as divestitures, partnerships and other transactions. We have previously acquired and invested in, and we continue to seek to acquire and invest in businesses, technologies, or other assets that we believe could complement or expand our business, including acquisitions of new offerings, new geographies and other opportunities that operate in relatively nascent markets. We also may explore investments in new technologies, which we may develop or other parties may develop. The identification, evaluation, and negotiation of potential acquisition or strategic investment transactions may divert the attention of management and entail various expenses, whether or not such transactions are ultimately completed. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying, negotiating, and consummating favorable transaction opportunities.

In February 2024 and September 2025, we issued our 2029 Notes and 2030 Notes, respectively, in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers. In addition, in connection with our acquisition of Flexdrive, which is an independently managed, wholly-owned subsidiary, Flexdrive remained responsible for its obligations under a Loan and Security Agreement, as amended, with a third-party lender, a Master Vehicle Acquisition Financing and Security Agreement, as amended, with a third-party lender and a Vehicle Procurement Agreement, as amended, with a third-party; and, following the acquisition, we continued to guarantee the payments of Flexdrive for any amounts borrowed under these agreements. As of March 31, 2026, we had $1.0 billion of indebtedness for borrowed money outstanding. In November 2022, we also entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with certain lenders providing the ability to borrow an aggregate principal amount of up to $420.0 million, none of which has been drawn as of March 31, 2026, and $61.5 million in letters of credit were issued under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2026. On December 12, 2023, we entered into an amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility which, among other things, permitted us to refinance the 2025 Notes and amends certain financial covenants. On February 21, 2024, the Revolving Credit Facility was further amended to, among other things: (a) solely for the purposes of the financial covenant test, replace total leverage with total net leverage and (b) permit us to repurchase up to a specified amount of the Company’s common stock with the proceeds of a convertible note offering. See Note 11 “Debt” to our condensed consolidated financial statements, for further information on these agreements and our outstanding debt obligations.

Although we have policies and processes for using open source software to avoid subjecting our platform and offerings to conditions we do not intend, the terms of many open source licenses have not been interpreted by U.S. or foreign courts, and there is a risk that these licenses could be construed in a way that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to provide or distribute our platform and offerings. From time to time, there have been claims challenging the ownership of open source software against companies that incorporate open source software into their solutions.
