Urgent.ly Inc. (Nasdaq: ULY) (“Urgently”), a U.S.-based leading
provider of digital roadside and mobility assistance technology and
services, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter
and full-year ended December 31, 2024.
“I am pleased with our significant accomplishments
in 2024, as we continued to make strong progress in executing
against our strategic initiatives to achieve profitability,
operational efficiencies and disciplined expense management. For
the year, we delivered revenue in line with our expectations, gross
profit margin improvement of 160 basis points, a GAAP operating
loss improvement of 41%, and non-GAAP operating loss improvement of
18%. In addition, we successfully secured certain contract
renewals, expanded services with existing customers, and signed and
launched new customers, all of which demonstrate the strength of
our technology platform and the outstanding level of service we
provide to our customer partners and their customers. We believe
Urgently is positioning itself to continue to execute and deliver
stockholder value in 2025,” said Matt Booth, CEO of Urgently.
Tim Huffmyer, CFO of Urgently, added, “In February
2025, we significantly improved our capital structure and increased
our financial flexibility by entering into a new credit agreement
for an asset-based revolving credit facility for up to $20 million
with MidCap Financial. The new credit facility was used to repay
existing indebtedness to our first lien lender and will support the
business as we continue to transform the legacy roadside assistance
market and to develop new connected mobility assistance services on
a global scale.”
On March 12, 2025, Urgently’s stockholders
approved a reverse stock split of Urgently’s common stock at a
ratio of 1-for-4, 1-for-6, 1-for-8, 1-for-10 or 1-for-12, with the
final ratio and timing of such reverse stock split to be determined
at the discretion of Urgently’s board of directors. The reverse
stock split is intended to enable Urgently to regain compliance
with the Nasdaq listing requirements. Because Urgently intends to
effect the reverse stock split on March 17, 2025 by filing an
amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Delaware
Secretary of State, the per share figures in this press release
have not been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our financial information presented
in accordance with GAAP, we believe Non-GAAP Operating Expenses and
Non-GAAP Operating Loss are useful to investors in evaluating our
operating performance. We use the non-GAAP financial measures to
evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and
forecasting purposes. We believe that the non-GAAP financial
measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial
measures, may be helpful to investors because it provides
consistency and comparability with past financial performance and
meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by
excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business,
results of operations, or outlook. The non-GAAP financial measures
are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have
limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in
accordance with GAAP and may be different from a similarly-titled
non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. In addition,
other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate
similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use
other measures to evaluate their performance, which could reduce
the usefulness of the non-GAAP financial measures presented herein
as a tool for comparison.
A reconciliation is provided below for each of the
non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable
financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are
encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the
reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to our most
directly comparable GAAP financial measures, and not to rely on any
single financial measure to evaluate our business. We define
Non-GAAP Operating Expenses as operating expenses, excluding
depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation
expense, and non-recurring charges (or income) such as transaction
and restructuring costs. We define Non-GAAP Operating Loss as
operating loss, excluding depreciation and amortization expense,
stock-based compensation expense, and non-recurring charges (or
income) such as transaction and restructuring costs.
For a discussion of Non-GAAP Operating Expenses
and Non-GAAP Operating Loss, please see the section titled
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations” in Urgently’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2024, which will be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by March 31,
2025.
Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains or may contain
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, which statements involve substantial risks and
uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to
future events or Urgently’s future financial or operating
performance. Such statements are based upon current plans,
estimates and expectations of management of Urgently in light of
historical results and trends, current conditions and potential
future developments, and are subject to various risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from such statements. The inclusion of forward-looking statements

estimates and expectations will be achieved. Forward-looking terms
such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “plan,”
“potential,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “project,” “predict,”

benefits of the reverse stock split; the expected benefits of the
refinancing; Urgently’s market position against current and future
competitors; and any assumptions underlying any of the foregoing,
are forward-looking statements.
There are a significant number of factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from statements
made in this press release and our earnings call, including but not
limited to: risks associated with our ability to raise funds
through future financings and the sufficiency of our cash and cash
equivalents to meet our liquidity needs; our history of losses; our
limited operating history; our ability to service our debt, comply
with our debt agreements and refinance our obligations under such
agreements, including by successfully deploying the capital from
the new credit facility and repaying our new and existing debt
facilities; our ability to retain customers and expand existing
customers’ use of our platform; our ability to attract new
customers; our ability to expand into new solutions, technologies
and geographic regions; our ability to adequately forecast consumer
demand and optimize our network of service providers; our ability
to compete in the markets in which we participate; our ability to
comply with laws and regulations applicable to our business; our
ability to continue as a going concern; our ability to develop and
maintain an effective system of internal controls and procedures
and accurately report our financial results in a timely manner; our
ability to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq
Stock Market LLC; and expectations regarding the impact of weather
events, natural disasters or health epidemics, including the war
between Hamas and Israel, on our business. Our actual results could
differ materially from those stated or implied in forward-looking
statements due to a number of factors, including but not limited
to, risks detailed in our filings with the SEC, including in our
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023,
which was filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024, our quarterly
reports on Form 10-Q, and other filings and reports that we may
file from time to time with the SEC. Forward-looking statements
represent our beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this
press release. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking
statements.
