Acquisition of TBR Global Chauffeuring
On October 14, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding equity of TheBookingRoomGroup Limited (d/b/a TBR Global Chauffeuring or “TBR”), a global premium ground transportation and chauffeur service company, for a total purchase price of £86.4 million ($115.2 million), inclusive of an immaterial amount of contingent consideration. The acquisition, which was accounted for as a business combination, strengthens Lyft’s position in the high-value premium chauffeur space and creates an opportunity to combine Lyft’s global platform and technology expertise with TBR’s bespoke service.

Goodwill of $64.2 million recognized in connection with the acquisition is primarily attributable to anticipated synergies arising from the integration of TBR’s operations with Lyft such as opportunities to expand the Company’s geographic footprint and enhance product offerings.
