📊 MIXED Lyft Q1 2026: gross bookings +19%, adjusted EBITDA +25%, record $1.12B free cash flow
Revenue & Profitability
In Q1 2026, gross bookings grew 19% year-over-year and adjusted EBITDA rose 25%. Over the last 12 months, Lyft generated a record $1.12 billion in free cash flow. The company executed its largest quarterly share repurchase of $300 million. Guidance for Q2 2026 implies gross bookings growth of approximately 20% and adjusted EBITDA expansion of over 30% year-over-year.
Outlook
Management sees healthy rideshare demand with double-digit rides growth around peak events. California's insurance reform is driving demand growth that outpaced other top regions. Weather in Q1 impacted rides by about 3 million (mostly bikes). Lyft expects overall rides growth to accelerate in Q2 and remains on track to deliver north of a billion rides for the full year 2026.
Growth Drivers
Key growth levers include partnerships (27% of rides now partnership-tagged), expansion in low-scale markets and Canada (Canada grew ~50% year-over-year), higher-value modes like Lyft Black (over 35% growth), and new products like Lyft Silver and Lyft Teen. International expansion via FreeNow and Gett in Europe. The 'Check Lyft' campaign aims to attract price-sensitive riders.
Balance Sheet & CapEx
Not discussed in this earnings call.
Margins
Gross margins are expanding year-over-year, aided by insurance reform in California and disciplined fixed costs. Higher-value ride modes (Lyft Black, TBR) carry higher margins and are growing faster. Incentives are managed dynamically across contra revenue and sales & marketing lines, with a focus on overall P&L optimization. Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to expand by over 30% in Q2.

Financial Model
Projections are built from each company's audited annual financials (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) over the last 5 fiscal years. Forward assumptions — revenue growth %, EBITDA margin, D&A (USD millions), interest expense, tax rate, and capex — are AI-generated using historical context and refreshed twice a year: after the December results season and after the September/Q4 results season.

DCF Valuation

CAGR Tracker
Expected 5-year CAGR = (DCF Fair Value / Current Price)1/5 − 1. Assumes fair value is reached in exactly 5 years — a mechanical estimate only.
