Q2'26PendingWe took significant steps forward with our partner, Waymo in Nashville for the construction of a state-of-the-art AV depot.
Temporary depot operations were successfully taken over from Waymo on June 9 and are exceeding SLAs, and the purpose-built depot (Purposeville Depot) is slated to open in October, after this call, so full resolution is pending.
Q2'26PendingI do expect that delta between gross bookings growth and rides growth to narrow somewhat...as you think about those trends from Q1 to Q2.
Actual magnitude of the GB-rides gap was not confirmed with a specific number; management responded only with seasonal/mix color across the business, so narrowing cannot be independently verified from the call itself.
Q2'26PendingReally nothing has changed as we think about our trajectory here in 2026 and our overall objective to deliver north of 1 billion rides for the full year.
Full year 2026 is not complete; Q2 delivered 262M rides and management reaffirmed the >1B target, but the annual outcome is not yet determinable.
Q2'26ExceededAt the midpoint of our range, we expect gross bookings to accelerate to approximately 20% and adjusted EBITDA to expand by more than 30% year-over-year.
Actual Q2 results came in at GB +23% and Adjusted EBITDA +37%, both above the Q1 guide midpoint.
Q1'26DeliveredContinued double-digit active rider growth
Confirmed double-digit but switched from specific 18% to vague language
Q1'26PendingNorth of 1 billion rides for full year 2026
Reiterated target but Q1 run rate suggests this may be challenging

Q1'26MissedStrong growth across high-value modes
Decelerated from 50% to 35% YoY growth without explanation
Q1'26PendingGross bookings to accelerate in 2026
Q1 stayed flat at 19% YoY, no acceleration yet despite guidance
Q4'25MissedContinue margin expansion toward 2027 goals
Q1 2026 margins guided to compress YoY, walking back expansion trajectory
Q4'25PendingAV partnerships built to scale beyond initial markets
Nashville depot underway but expansion timeline now more cautious
Q4'25PendingCalifornia insurance reform to benefit riders and drivers
Reform went live Jan 1 but demand impact pushed to back half 2026
Q4'25ExceededUnited partnership to launch with strong value proposition
115M miles earned in couple months exceeded expectations
Q4'25DeliveredLyft Ads approaching $100M run rate
