DropCar Announces Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019
 
120% Increase in Gross Margin and 42% Increase in B2B Revenue vs. Q2 Year Prior as Company Continues Evaluating Strategic Opportunities
 
NEW YORK – August 14, 2019 (Business Wire) –DropCar, Inc. (Nasdaq: DCAR) (“DropCar” or the “Company”), a provider of micro logistics technology, mobility services and cloud based software for both the automotive industry and consumers, today announced financial results for the period ended June 30, 2019 and provided an update on the results of initiatives implemented to conserve cash on hand while focusing the business on its most profitable clients and segments.
 
Spencer Richardson, DropCar’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are excited about the opportunities in front of us for building shareholder value afforded by our continued advance towards profitability.”
 
During the past few months, DropCar has taken the following demonstrative actions to continue to reduce its cash burn and focus its business on the most profitable clients and segments:
 
(i) streamlined back end operations, while increasing overall field driver efficiency and eliminating loss driving services, resulting in the Company going from a gross loss of $654,784 for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 to a gross profit of $130,757 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019; and
 
(ii) increased growth in B2B managed services revenues by 42% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2018, which was primarily a result of the expansion of existing contracts and changes to the Company’s B2B pricing model.
 
“For the third quarter of 2019, we are continuing to evaluate every detail of our business to identify more areas for reducing our burn while also expanding on our efforts to identify the best opportunities for strategic growth,” added Mr. Richardson.
 
Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 versus Three Months Ended June 30, 2018
 
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2019 decreased $627,000, or 33%, to $1,247,000, as compared to $1,874,000 for the same period in 2018, as DropCar subscription revenue decreased by $486,000, or 38%, due to (i) the discontinued “Steve” parking offering and (ii) a decrease in “Will” valet on-demand service revenue by $246,000, or 73%, to $93,000, compared to $339,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 due to the focusing of valet resources on higher margin B2B service revenue. As a result, the Company recognized an increase in B2B revenue of $105,000, or 42%, to $357,000, as compared to $252,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the Company’s valet workforce and attributable to decreases of $1,314,000 in wages and related expenses, $168,000 in repairs and damages, $100,000 in cost of gas, car wash and other service sold, partially offset by an increase of $169,000 in parking garage fees and insurance costs.
 
 
 
 
 
The Company's $951,000 net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was comprised of a $962,000 operating loss offset by $11,000 of other income. This compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $4,309,000 for the same period in 2018, a reduction of 78%.

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased $1,220,000, or 34%, to $2,346,000, as compared to $3,566,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, due to (i) a decrease in DropCar subscription revenue of $1,181,000, or 45%, to $1,458,000, compared to $2,640,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 due to the discontinued “Steve” parking and valet on-demand service, and (ii) a decrease in “Will” valet on-demand service of $246,000, or 56%, to $195,000, compared to $441,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This was offset by an increase in B2B revenue of $207,000, or 43%, to $692,000, compared to $485,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
 
Cost of revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $2,243,000, a decrease of $2,582,000, or 54% compared to $4,825,000 recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was primarily due to decreases of $2,383,000 in wages and related expenses, $290,000 in repairs and damages, $176,000 in cost of gas, car wash and other service sold, partially offset by an increase of $267,000 in parking garage fees and insurance costs.
