(OTCQB:ZCAR), the leading peer-to-peer self-drive car-sharing marketplace in India, announces select operating and financial highlights for the month ended December 31, 2025. Such financial highlights are based on internal preliminary, unaudited and unreviewed financial data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In December 2025, Zoomcar is projected to have delivered strong operating leverage driven by longer trip durations and higher transaction values, even as booking volumes increased modestly. Based on unaudited and unreviewed preliminary internal data, the Company projects a <\/span><b>2% increase in bookings compared to November 2025<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a <\/span><b>27% month-over-month increase in Gross Booking Value (GBV)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and a <\/span><b>34% increase in Net GAAP Revenue, <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reflecting improved revenue efficiency across the platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zoomcar is also announcing it projects <\/span><b>record Net GAAP Revenue of close to USD 1 million<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for December 2025. This performance was achieved <\/span><b>without any performance marketing spend<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, underscoring the Company\u2019s focus on disciplined execution and improving unit economics. Such financial metrics are based on select preliminary unaudited and unreviewed internal financial data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on such data, contribution profitability is projected to have reached a record level during the month. <\/span><b>Contribution profit is projected to have represented approximately 58% of Net GAAP Revenue<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or <\/span><b>USD$17.52 per booking<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, compared to an average contribution profit of approximately <\/span><b>USD$11.63 per booking<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for the period from April through November 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trip economics are also projected to have strengthened meaningfully, based on select preliminary unaudited and unreviewed internal financial data. <\/span><b>Average trip duration is projected to have increased by approximately 20% to 60 hours<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in December 2025, compared to an average of 50 hours during the first eight months of the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025. Driven by these longer trips, <\/span><b>average transaction value is projected to have increased by approximately 30% to around USD$78<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, compared to approximately USD$60 during the same earlier period. These operating metrics are <\/span><b>unaudited, unreviewed, and subject to refinement<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and period-to-period comparisons may change as financial closing procedures are completed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe believe, based on internal data, that December\u2019s performance reflects continued progress in improving the quality and economics of bookings on our platform,\u201d said <\/span><b>Deepankar Tiwari<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Chief Executive Officer of Zoomcar. \u201cWe delivered materially higher revenue and contribution profitability without incremental marketing spend, demonstrating the operating leverage inherent in our asset-light marketplace model.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Financial Disclosure Advisory<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (\u201cGAAP\u201d) on Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The select unaudited and unreviewed results described in this press release are preliminary estimates only based on internal financial data and are subject to revision until the Company completes its financial closing procedures and reports its full financial and business results for the third quarter of the fiscal year 2025\u20132026. These estimates are not a comprehensive statement of the Company\u2019s financial results for the third quarter of the fiscal year 2025\u20132026, and actual results may differ materially from these estimates as a result of the completion of quarterly accounting procedures, the execution of the Company\u2019s internal control over financial reporting, the completion of management\u2019s financial statement preparation, the review of the Company\u2019s financial statements, and the occurrence or identification of events prior to the filing of the Company\u2019s Form 10-Q for the third quarter of the fiscal year 2025\u20132026<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Non-GAAP Financial Measures<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain non-GAAP financial measures, including contribution profit, are presented in this press release to provide information that may assist investors in understanding the Company\u2019s financial and operating results. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important performance indicators because they exclude items that are unrelated to, and may not be indicative of, the Company\u2019s core financial and operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures, as calculated, may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and may not be appropriate measures for comparing the performance of other companies relative to the Company. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to represent and should not be considered to be more meaningful measures than, or alternatives to, measures of operating performance as determined in accordance with GAAP. To the extent the Company utilizes such non-GAAP financial measures in the future, it expects to calculate them using a consistent method from period to period. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are not provided in this press release because the necessary GAAP information is not yet available due to the preliminary nature of the Company\u2019s financial close.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>About Zoomcar<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Bengaluru, Zoomcar is India\u2019s largest peer-to-peer car-sharing marketplace.
