Description of Business and Basis of Presentation	1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation Organization and Description of Business Lyft, Inc. (the “Company” or “Lyft”) is incorporated in Delaware with its headquarters in San Francisco, California. The Company operates multimodal transportation networks in the United States and Canada that offer access to a variety of transportation options through the Company’s platform and mobile-based applications. This network enables multiple modes of transportation including the facilitation of peer-to-peer ridesharing by connecting drivers who have a vehicle with riders who need a ride. Our robust technology platform (the "Lyft Platform") provides a marketplace where drivers can be matched with riders via the Lyft mobile application (the "Lyft App") where the Company operates as a transportation network company (“TNC”). Transportation options through the Company’s platform and mobile-based applications are primarily comprised of its ridesharing marketplace that connects drivers and riders in cities across the United States and in certain cities in Canada. Transportation options also include Lyft’s network of bikes and scooters and the Express Drive program, where drivers can enter into short-term rental agreements with the Company’s wholly-owned and independently managed subsidiary, Flexdrive Services, LLC (“Flexdrive”), or a third party for vehicles that may be used to provide ridesharing services on the Lyft Platform. In addition, the Company makes the ridesharing marketplace available to organizations through Lyft Business offerings, such as the Concierge and Lyft Pass programs, and generates revenue from licensing and data access agreements associated with the data from the Company's platform, subscription fees, revenue from bikes and bike station hardware and software sales and revenue from arrangements to provide advertising services. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. Certain information and note disclosures included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and entities consolidated under the variable interest entity model and have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the periods presented, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for any future annual or interim period. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company bases its estimates on various factors and information which may include, but are not limited to, historical experience, where applicable, and on other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions include those related to losses resulting from insurance claims inclusive of insurance related accruals, fair value of financial assets and liabilities, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, leases, indirect tax obligations, legal contingencies, valuation allowance for deferred income taxes and the valuation of stock-based compensation.
