Lyft, Inc.

Previous wording

Since our ridesharing marketplace launched in 2012, we have primarily focused on ridesharing, particularly in North America. However, our ridesharing business and our broader business and strategy continue to evolve. We regularly expand our platform features, offerings and services and change our pricing methodologies, and we have recently engaged in more significant expansion of our operations to new geographies and new offerings. In July 2025, we expanded our operations beyond North America, entering nine new countries and more than 180 cities through our acquisition of Freenow, a leading European multimodal app with taxi offering at its core. In October 2025, we acquired TBR, a global luxury chauffeuring company that operates in thousands of cities worldwide. Our evolving business, industry and markets, including the evolution of the ridesharing industry and markets, make it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and the risks and challenges we may encounter including our ability to:

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 fluctuate or continue to increase, which 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 …

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. However, it is uncertain to what extent the markets 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.

We are regularly subject to claims, lawsuits, investigations and other legal proceedings relating to injuries to, or deaths of, riders, drivers or third-parties. We are also subject to claims alleging that we are directly or vicariously liable for the acts of the drivers on our platform or for harm related to the actions of drivers, riders, or third parties, or the management and safety of our platform and our assets, including harm caused by criminal activity. We are also subject to personal injury claims whether or not such injury actually occurred as a result of activity on our platform. For example, platform users and third parties have in the past asserted legal claims against us in connection with personal injuries related to the actions of a driver or rider who may have previously utilized our platform, but was not at the time of such injury. We have incurred expenses to settle personal injury claims, which we sometimes choose to settle for reasons including expediency, protection of our reputation and to prevent the uncertainty of litigating, and we expect that such expenses will continue to increase as our business grows and we face increasing public scrutiny. Regardless of the outcome of any legal proceeding, any injuries to, or deaths of, any riders, drivers or third parties could result in negative publicity and harm to our brand, reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. Our insurance policies and programs may not provide sufficient coverage to adequately mitigate the potential liability we face, especially where any one incident, or a group of incidents, could cause disproportionate harm, and we may have to pay high premiums or deductibles for our coverage and, for certain situations and/or categories of claims, we may not be able to secure coverage at all.

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. Increasing use of AI tools, including for the identification and exploitation of vulnerabilities, may increase the likelihood of security breaches and incidents occurring and the scope and impact of breaches and incidents that do occur. 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.

Use of artificial intelligence and machine learning may present additional risks, including risks associated with algorithm development or use, the data sets used, and/or a complex, developing regulatory environment.

Current wording

Use of artificial intelligence and machine learning may present additional risks, including risks associated with algorithm development or use, the data sets used, reliance on third-party models, and/or a complex, developing regulatory environment.

Previous wording

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. Other government bodies in the U.S. and other countries also have proposed, and in certain cases enacted, laws and regulations imposing transparency and other 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.

With the exception of certain taxi markets in Europe and rides for which variable fares apply, we quote a price to riders of our ridesharing offering before they request a ride. We earn platform and service fees from drivers. Service fees are a set fee per ride. Platform fees are variable fees, based upon the amount paid by a rider, which is generally based on an up-front quoted fare, less the amount earned by the driver (which is based on one or both of the following: (a) the actual time and distance for the trip, or (b) an up-front fare), the service fee, any applicable driver bonuses or incentives, and any pass-through amounts paid to drivers and third parties. For more information on platform fees, see our Terms of Service, including the Driver Addendum. As we do not control the driver’s actions at any point in the transaction to limit the time and distance for the trip, we take on risks related to the driver’s actions which may not be fully mitigated. Additionally, Shared Rides, a limited-scope offering for business-to-business partnerships in select markets, as well as for rides to and from the airport in one market, enables unrelated parties traveling along similar routes to generate a discounted fare at the cost of possibly longer travel times. The fare charged for the Shared Ride is decoupled from the payment made to the driver, and for some Shared Ride types, we do not adjust the driver payment based on the success or failure of a match. We may incur a loss from a transaction where an up-front quoted fare paid by a rider is less than the amount we committed to the driver. In addition, riders’ price sensitivity varies by geographic location, among other factors, and if we are unable to effectively account for such variability in our breadth of offerings or up-front prices, our ability to compete effectively in these locations could be adversely affected. From time to time we adjust our prices due to these factors, which may harm our results of operations. We also utilize certain AI and machine-learning technologies and algorithms to optimize our pricing and marketplace. Errors in AI, machine-learning technologies, algorithms, or the inputted data, including insufficient data sets or biased information, or the processing of the data may lead to discriminatory or other adverse outcomes. In addition to our ridesharing and Shared Ride offerings, we offer taxi and private hire vehicle options in certain international markets. For these offerings, we receive a set percentage of the fare. We may incur a loss from a transaction where driver or rider incentives are applied in excess of the commission we received on the fare. If we are unable to effectively manage our pricing methodologies in conjunction with our existing and future pricing and incentive programs and/or products, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our platform and offerings contain software modules licensed to us by third-party authors under “open source” licenses. Use and distribution of open source software may entail greater risks than use of third-party commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide support, warranties, indemnification or other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the code. In addition, the public availability of such software may make it easier for others to compromise our platform and offerings.

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.

Current wording

Although we have policies and processes for using open source software and models 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 stop using or replace affected AI models, 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 the amounts that remained available under our 2025 Share Repurchase Program authorized in February 2025 (the “2025 Share Repurchase Program”) under which we were authorized to repurchase a total of $750 million of our Class A common stock. 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. 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 our 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 our 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 our Share Repurchase Programs.

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 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. 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 account 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 the court granted a preliminary injunction temporarily blocking the City of New York from enforcing the law. The City of New York has appealed that order. 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. 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.

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 June 30, 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 June 30, 2026, and $61.3 million in letters of credit were issued under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 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.

Previous wording

Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest or fees on or to refinance or repay our indebtedness depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. Our business may not generate cash flow from operations in the future sufficient to service our debt and make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional debt financing or equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance any existing or future indebtedness will depend on the capital markets, general macroeconomic conditions and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations. Events and circumstances may also occur which would cause us to not be able to satisfy applicable draw-down conditions and utilize our revolving credit facility. In addition, any of our future debt agreements may contain restrictive covenants that may prohibit us from adopting any of these alternatives. Our failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of our debt.
