NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Roadzen Inc.

The Company's second quarter of its fiscal year 2024 closed with revenue reaching $15.4 million marking a 493% increase from the same quarter last year. Management attributes this growth to strategic acquisitions as well as organic revenue expansion of 89%.

Rohan Malhotra, Co-Founder and CEO of Roadzen, stated, "We are pleased to announce that our first quarter as a public company represents the best revenue quarter in our history, concluding with $15.4 million in revenue and significant year-over-year growth.

We are focused on bringing onboard new clients, enhancing our embedded distribution model, and employing AI to optimize operations. Roadzen's cutting-edge AI uniquely positions us to be the preferred partner for insurers, fleets and carmakers aiming to innovate their auto insurance offerings."

The Company’s net loss of $31.1 million includes $27.5 million of non-cash, non-recurring and other extraordinary items resulting in an Adjusted EBITDA1 loss of $3.6 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is a non-GAAP financial measure which excludes the impact of finance costs, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other items from reported net profit or loss. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA aids investors by providing an operating profit/loss without the impact of non-cash depreciation and amortization and certain other items to help clarify sustainability and trends affecting the business. For comparability of reporting, management considers non-GAAP measures in conjunction with U.S. GAAP financial results in evaluating business performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not purport to represent cash flow provided by, or used for, operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be used as a measure of liquidity.
