HyreCar sees quarterly revenue double as carsharing company widens reach to all 50 US states
HyreCar (NASDAQ:HYRE), the carsharing marketplace, saw its revenue in the fourth quarter more than double as it expanded its HyreCar platform to include all 50 states in the US, in a bid to provide cars for Uber and Lyft drivers.
It is estimated that 40% of the 50,000 drivers applying monthly to services like Lyft and Uber do not own a qualifying vehicle. On the flip side, there are owners with idle vehicles who have no desire to work as a driver, but who could leverage that vehicle for revenue.
HyreCar works as an intermediary, a matchmaker of vehicles and qualified drivers.

In its latest reporting period, the Los Angeles-based company saw its revenue climb to $3.1 million, up from $1.3 million in the year-ago quarter. Its net loss, however, widened to $2.6 million, or $0.31 loss per share, from a loss of $1.3 million, or $0.28 loss per share, in the corresponding period last year.
The results failed to impress the Street’s analysts who had forecast that HyreCar would lose $0.13 per share on revenue of $3.22 million.
But investors pushed HyreCar shares higher and its stock rose 2.5% to $6.28 in Friday’s morning trade.
Over 100 car dealers are now listing more than 1,200 cars on HyreCar’s platform, said Joe Furnari, CEO of HyreCar in a statement.
“Growth is directly correlated to offering a complete solution for automotive dealers to earn incremental revenue streams on otherwise idle inventory,” Furnari said.
The company’s cash slipped to $6.8 million as of December, compared to $8.7 million in September.
On an optimistic note, HyreCar said it increased the number of days when vehicles were rented to 393,000 in 2018 from 178,000 in 2017.
