Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | 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 sheet as of December 31, 2025 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, 2025, 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, 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. Prior period amounts related to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported total assets, total liabilities, results of operations, comprehensive income or net cash flows from operating, financing or investing activities.
Use of Estimates | 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, acquired identifiable intangible assets and goodwill and related impairment assessments, useful lives of amortizable long-lived assets, leases, indirect tax obligations, legal contingencies, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the valuation of stock-based compensation.
Segment Information | Segment Information Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Company’s CODM. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. As such, the Company has determined that it operates as one operating segment. The Company has concluded that consolidated net income is the measure of segment profitability. The CODM assesses performance for the Company, monitors budget versus actual results, and determines how to allocate resources based on consolidated net income as reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. There are no other expense categories regularly provided to the CODM that are not already included in the primary condensed consolidated financial statements herein.
Recently Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-06, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software”, which updates the capitalization criteria for internal-use software development costs and removes references to software development stages. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted this ASU on January 1, 2026 on a prospective basis. This ASU did not have a material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments”, which seeks to clarify the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as induced conversions. This amendment became effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2026 on a prospective basis. There was no impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, which requires companies to provide new financial statement disclosures disaggregating prescribed expense categories within relevant income statement expense captions. Early adoption and retrospective application is permitted. Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, “Clarifying the Effective Date” which clarifies that the guidance for ASU 2024-03 is to be adopted by all public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a prospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this ASU on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company generates its revenue from its multimodal transportation network that offers access to a variety of transportation options through the Lyft Platform and mobile-based applications. Substantially all, or approximately 85% or more, of the Company’s revenue is generated from its ridesharing marketplace, inclusive of taxis, private hire vehicles, executive chauffeur services and car sharing, that connects drivers and riders. In addition, the Company generates revenue from licensing and data access agreements, subscription fees, bikes and bike station hardware and software sales and arrangements to provide advertising services to third parties. The Company also generates rental revenue from Flexdrive and its network of shared bikes and scooters, which is recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 (“ASC 842”). Rental revenue recognized in accordance with ASC 842 was less than 10% of condensed consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
