Quality

65

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 65 of 100, an above-average reading in the covered universe. Some underlying measurements are stronger than others.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

Deteriorating

18

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Fundamental Momentum research reads 18 of 100. Stored measurements classify recent reported fundamentals as deteriorating. This describes reported financial change already disclosed, with no forward-looking claim.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Weak

39

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Capital Returns research reads 39 of 100, recorded as weak. No dividend is recorded for this company, so the reading rests on buybacks and dilution control. Share count has increased at about 3.1% a year in the stored window.

Capital Returns research measures how a company has actually returned cash to shareholders: dividend record, buyback effectiveness, dilution control and how those payments were funded.

What this company does

Lyft, Inc. (the "Company" or "Lyft") operates as a global mobility platform offering a mix of rideshare, taxis, private hire vehicles, executive chauffeur services, car sharing, bikes and scooters. Our established, scaled network of users is brought together by our robust technology platform (the "Lyft Platform") that powers rides and connections every day. Our Lyft mobile application ("Lyft App") connect riders with drivers for on-demand ride services and supports a variety of other multimodal solutions.

Substantially all of our revenue is generated from our ridesharing marketplace that connects drivers and riders. We collect service fees and commissions from drivers for their use of our ridesharing marketplace. We also generate revenue from licensing and data access agreements, the sale of bikes and bike station software and hardware, advertising services, riders renting through our network of shared bikes and scooters, drivers renting vehicles through Express Drive and by making our ridesharing marketplace available to organizations through our Lyft Business offerings.

In 2025, we expanded our operations beyond North America and strengthened our global footprint. We entered nine new countries and more than 180 cities through our acquisition of Intelligent Apps GmbH (d/b/a Freenow) in July 2025, a leading European multimodal app with taxi offering at its core. In October 2025, we acquired TheBookingRoomGroup Limited (d/b/a TBR Global Chauffeuring, or "TBR"), a global luxury chauffeuring company that operates in thousands of cities worldwide. As a result of these acquisitions, as well as additional expansion of our business, we now operate in thousands of cities across six continents. For additional information, see Note 4 "Acquisitions" included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Ridesharing Marketplace. Our core offering connects drivers with riders. The scale of our network enables us to predict demand and proactively incentivize drivers to be available for rides in the right place at the right time. This allows us to optimize earning opportunities for drivers and offer convenient rides for riders, creating sustainable value to both sides of our marketplace. Our ridesharing marketplace, inclusive of taxis, private hire vehicles, executive chauffeur services and car sharing, connects drivers with riders in cities across six continents in select cities. In addition to our standard rideshare offering, riders can select a variety of other offerings which include, but are not limited to, Wait & Save, Priority Pickup, XL, Extra Comfort, Black, Black SUV, and Green.
