Organization and Nature of Business

InterPrivate II Acquisition Corp. (“InterPrivate II”) was a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effectuating a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses.

On December 8, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), InterPrivate II completed the business combination (“2022 Business Combination”) pursuant to the merger agreement dated May 11, 2022 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among, InterPrivate II, TMPST Merger Sub I Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of InterPrivate II (“First Merger Sub”), TMPST Merger Sub II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of InterPrivate II (“Second Merger Sub”) and Getaround, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Getaround”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between InterPrivate II and Legacy Getaround was effected through the merger of First Merger Sub and Legacy Getaround, with Legacy Getaround emerging as the surviving company, followed by a merger between Legacy Getaround and Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub emerging as the surviving company as a wholly owned subsidiary of InterPrivate II (See Note 3 - Business Combination). In connection with the finalization of the 2022 Business Combination, InterPrivate II changed its name to Getaround, Inc. (“Getaround” or the “Company”) and Second Merger Sub changed its name to Getaround Operations LLC.

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Getaround Operations LLC, is an online car rental service company headquartered in San Francisco, California. The Company provides peer-to-peer car‑sharing service powered by its proprietary technology, which allows car owners to earn income sharing their cars with pre-qualified drivers on the Company’s network. As of December 31, 2023, the Company operated globally in major U.S. cities and certain European markets, including France and Norway.

Basis of Accounting

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements herein.

The Company qualifies as an emerging growth company (“EGC”) and as such, has elected the extended transition period for complying with certain new or revised accounting pronouncements. During the extended transition period, the Company is not subject to certain new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. The accounting pronouncements pending adoption (See Note 2 - Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted) reflect effective dates for the Company as an EGC with the extended transition period.

Reverse Recapitalization

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the merger between Second Merger Sub and Legacy Getaround was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with US GAAP (the “Reverse Recapitalization”).

Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Reverse Recapitalization was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Getaround issuing stock for the net assets of InterPrivate II, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of InterPrivate II are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

Legacy Getaround was determined to be the accounting acquirer based on the following predominant factors:

Legacy Getaround’s existing stockholders have the greatest voting interest in the Company;
Legacy Getaround controls the majority of the new board of directors of the Company and, given the board of directors election and retention provisions, Legacy Getaround holds the ability to maintain control of the board of directors on a go-forward basis; and
Legacy Getaround’s senior management is the senior management of the Company.

The consolidated assets, liabilities, and results of operations prior to the Reverse Recapitalization are those of Legacy Getaround. The shares and corresponding capital amounts and losses per share, prior to the Reverse Recapitalization, have been retroactively restated based on shares reflecting the exchange ratio of 0.32025 established in the 2022 Business Combination.

Going Concern and Liquidity

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced losses since its inception and had net loss of $113.9 million and $136.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company expects operating losses and negative cash flows to continue for the foreseeable future as it continues to develop and promote its platform, as well as to grow its user base through new markets.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $15.6 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents available to fund future operations. The Company’s capital requirements will depend on many factors and the Company may need to use available capital resources and/or raise additional capital earlier than currently anticipated. Should the Company pursue additional debt and/or equity financing, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms commercially acceptable to the Company. Please refer to Note 20 - Subsequent Events for details relating to additional financing.

If the Company is unable to obtain additional funding when needed, it will need to curtail planned activities to reduce costs, which will likely have an unfavorable effect on the Company’s ability to execute on its business plan, and have an adverse effect on its business, results of operations and future prospects. These matters raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue in existence as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
