The truth about HyreCar’s insurance revenue was revealed on August 10, 2021. After the market closed, HyreCar issued a press release announcing deeply disappointing results for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021, including losses net of $ 9.3 million against losses of $ 3.8 million. at the same period the previous year. In addition, HyreCar’s adjusted profit before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the second quarter of 2021 was $ 7.1 million (four times higher than the loss of adjusted EBITDA of $ 1. $ 7 million suffered in the second quarter of 2020) and its gross profit for the second quarter of 2021 was only $ 0.8 million (less than a third of HyreCar’s gross profit in the second quarter of 2020), with a gross profit margin of only 24%.

The story continues

Following this news, HyreCar’s share price fell nearly 50% in a single day to close at $ 9.85 per share on August 11, 2021.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the Defendants failed to disclose the following adverse facts, which were known to the Defendants or recklessly ignored by them: (1) HyreCar had substantially underestimated its reservations about assurance ; (2) HyreCar consistently failed to pay valid insurance claims incurred prior to the Class Period; (3) HyreCar had incurred significant expenses in transitioning to its new insurance claims administrator and handling claims incurred in previous periods; (4) HyreCar had not correctly priced the risk in its insurance products and therefore experienced a high incidence of claims; (5) HyreCar had been forced to radically reform its underwriting, policies and complaints procedures in response to unacceptable severity of claims and customer complaints; and (6) as a result of the foregoing, HyreCar’s operations and prospects have been distorted because the company was not on track to meet the financial estimates provided to investors during the Class Period, and these estimates did not have a reasonable basis in fact, including the alleged gross margin, EBITDA and net loss trajectories.
