Investor Notice: Robbins LLP Informs Investors of Class Action Filed Against Lyft, Inc. (LYFT)
According to the complaint, Lyft issued a press release and accompanying Supplement Data announcing its year-end and fourth quarter 2023 operating results after the close of the market (at 4:05 p.m.) on February 13, 2024. The Lyft press release and Supplemental Data (at page 10) misrepresented in a bulleted line item that Lyft anticipated “Adjusted EBITDA [Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization] margin expansion (calculated as a percentage of Gross Bookings) of approximately 500 basis points year-over-year.” Inasmuch as Lyft had reported 2023 EBITDA margins of approximately 1.6%, a 500 basis point (or 5.0%) margin expansion would have increased profitability to 6.6% -- or by over three times historical results. News services and stock analysts reported promptly on the four-fold anticipated increase in profitability. However, the 500 basis point margin expansion was stated in error; in reality, the basis point margin expansion was just 50 points.
