Lyft stock jumps on upbeat Q2 results, forecast

By Staff Correspondent |

Lyft Inc. (NASDAQ: LYFT) reported a wider loss in the second quarter due to stock-based compensation and related payroll tax expenses, primarily due to RSU expense recognition in connection with its initial public offering.

The bottom line was narrower than the analysts’ expectations while the top line exceeded consensus estimates. Further, the company guided third-quarter revenue above the Street’s view and raised its revenue guidance for the full year 2019. Following this, the stock advanced over 10% in the after-market session.

Net loss was $644.24 million, wider than a loss of $178.9 million in the previous year quarter. On a per-share basis, the loss narrowed to $2.23 from $8.48 a year earlier due to the higher weighted average number of shares outstanding. Adjusted loss per share improved to $0.68 from $8.37 a year ago.

For the third quarter, Lyft expects total revenues to grow by 54-56% to the range of $900 million to $915 million and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $190 million to $210 million.

For fiscal 2019, the company lifted revenue outlook to the range of $3.47 billion to $3.5 billion from the previous range of $3.275 billion to $3.3 billion. The annual revenue growth rate is raised to the range of 61% to 62% from the prior range of 52% to 53%. Adjusted EBITDA loss guidance is narrowed to the range of $850 million to $875 million from the earlier estimate range of $1.15 billion to $1.175 billion.
