Rental Revenue

The company earns its revenues mainly from Flexdrive. It is a network of Light Vehicles and Lyft rentals. The revenue earned from these operations is recognized over the rental period i.e. 7 days or less. Due to the short-term nature of these operations, the company classifies these rentals as operating leases. The company operates a fleet of rental vehicles that include both vehicles owned by us and vehicles leased from third-party leasing companies. The company either leases or subleases the vehicles to drivers and Lyft renters. This means that the company is considered as an accounting lessor or sub-lessor in accordance with ASC 842.

The income and head lease expenses for vehicles that are subleased are recognized on a gross basis in the consolidated financial statements of the company and the drivers are charged rental fees on renting any Lyft vehicle. These fees are collected from the driver by reducing the amount from the earnings of the driver on the Lyft platform. The revenue generated from the single-trip ride fee is paid by Light vehicle riders and is recognized on completion of each ride.

Lyft Inc.’s rental revenue increased from $0.49 billion in Q3 2020 to $0.80 billion in Q3 2021, marking a 63% growth on a year-on-year basis. It also grew 17.6% compared to $0.68 billion earned in Q2 2021.

Revenue from contracts with customers

The company generates revenue from commissions and service fees paid by drivers for using the Lyft platform for connecting drivers with riders to facilitate a complete ride through the App. Here the company operates as a transportation network company (TNC) and recognizes its revenue on completion of each ride. The drivers have to enter into terms of service agreement with the company for using the Lyft platform. Under this agreement, the drivers agree that the company will retain the applicable fee as a consideration for their use of the company’s platform from the fare charged from the riders for the drivers. The company acts as an agent that facilitates the drivers to provide services to riders. The revenue generated by the company is recognized in accordance with ASC 606.
