DropCar Announces Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019

DropCar, Inc. (Nasdaq: DCAR) ("DropCar” or the "Company”), a provider of micro logistics technology, mobility services and cloud based software for both the automotive industry and consumers, today announced financial results for the period ended June 30, 2019 and provided an update on the results of initiatives implemented to conserve cash on hand while focusing the business on its most profitable clients and segments.

Spencer Richardson, DropCar’s Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are excited about the opportunities in front of us for building shareholder value afforded by our continued advance towards profitability.”

During the past few months, DropCar has taken the following demonstrative actions to continue to reduce its cash burn and focus its business on the most profitable clients and segments:

(i) streamlined back end operations, while increasing overall field driver efficiency and eliminating loss driving services, resulting in the Company going from a gross loss of $654,784 for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 to a gross profit of $130,757 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019; and

(ii) increased growth in B2B managed services revenues by 42% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2018, which was primarily a result of the expansion of existing contracts and changes to the Company’s B2B pricing model.

"For the third quarter of 2019, we are continuing to evaluate every detail of our business to identify more areas for reducing our burn while also expanding on our efforts to identify the best opportunities for strategic growth,” added Mr. Richardson.
