Neutron (NASDAQ:LIME – Get Free Report) announced its quarterly earnings results on Tuesday. The company reported $0.63 earnings per share for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of $0.43 by $0.20, Zacks reports.
Here are the key takeaways from Neutron’s conference call:
- Revenue reached $361 million in Q3, up 20% year over year, while trailing-12-month revenue surpassed $1 billion for the first time. Adjusted EBITDA was $118 million, net income was $44 million, and free cash flow was $91 million.
- LimePrime adoption is showing strong early economics: subscribers took eight times as many trips as pay-as-you-go riders, had retention rates three times higher than non-subscribers, and generated twice the adjusted gross profit.
- Revenue per vehicle per day declined 4.8% year over year to $8.77, primarily because of newer-market expansion and heightened competition in parts of Europe. The company’s decision not to match competitors’ aggressive pricing reduced utilization and caused Q3 adjusted EBITDA to fall short of expectations.
- Lime expects European competitive pressure to continue through the remainder of 2026 and plans to increase Q4 spending on fleet reliability, compliance, and technology. Q4 adjusted EBITDA is forecast at $43 million-$45 million, an approximately 18% margin, while full-year EBITDA guidance was reduced to $253 million-$255 million.
- The company continues to expand its operational fleet, which grew 26% year over year to 447,000 vehicles, with notable growth opportunities in Australia, Canada, and existing markets. Lime also ended the quarter with $453 million in cash and no long-term debt.
