First Quarter 2024 Financial Results
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company reported revenue of $6.6 million, up from $5.2 million in the prior year period, a 26% increase, primarily due to a 26% increase in gallons delivered. Total gallons delivered in the first quarter of 2024 were 1,660,617 compared to 1,313,962 in the prior year period, reflecting new customers in existing and newly developed markets. Average fuel margin per gallon was $0.59 for the quarter, up from $0.47 in the prior year period.
Cost of sales was $6.1 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $5.1 million for the prior year period. The increase from the prior year reflects the increase in sales as well as the hiring of additional drivers, primarily in new markets. Our gross profit improved year over year due to higher fuel revenue as well as increased delivery fees and driver efficiency.
Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, were $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $2.2 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in payroll, stock compensation, marketing and public company expenses as we continue to achieve efficiencies in our operations.
Depreciation and amortization increased to $0.28 million in the first quarter of 2024 from $0.27 million in the prior year period.
Interest expense increased to $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2024 from $0.05 million in the prior period due to increased borrowing from related parties.
The net loss in the first quarter of 2024 was $(1.9) million, compared to $(2.3) million in the prior year period an improvement of approx. 20%. Loss per share improved in the quarter to $(0.45) from $(0.70) in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA loss in the first quarter of 2024 was $(1.2) million as compared to Adjusted EBITDA loss of $(1.8) million in the first quarter of 2023, an improvement of approx. 37%. The improvement in adjusted EBITDA reflects both the improved margin and the operating cost efficiencies.

At March 31, 2024, the Company had a cash position of $0.05 million, compared with $0.2 million at year end 2023. The Company had $0.6 million of long-term debt as of the quarter end.
About EzFill
EzFill is a leader in the fast-growing mobile fuel industry, with the largest market share in its home state of Florida. Its mission is to disrupt the gas station fueling model by providing consumers and businesses with the convenience, safety, and touch-free benefits of on-demand fueling services brought directly to their locations. For commercial and specialty customers, at-site delivery during downtimes enables operators to begin their daily operations with fully fueled vehicles. For more information, visit www.ezfl.com.
With the number of gas stations in the U.S. continuing to decline, corporate giants such as Shell, Exxon, GM, Bridgestone, Enterprise, and Mitsubishi have recognized the increasing shift in consumer behavior and are investing in the fast growing on-demand mobile fueling industry, in companies such as Booster and Yoshi. As the only company to provide fuel delivery in three verticals – consumer, commercial, and specialty including marine and construction equipment, we believe EzFill is well positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for convenient and cost-efficient mobile fueling options.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), we use non-GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which we use in our financial performance analyses. This measure should not be considered a substitute for GAAP-basis measures, nor should it be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of net interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock compensation expense, provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of our financial results. Non-GAAP measures are not formally defined by GAAP, and other entities may use calculation methods that differ from ours for the purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA. As a complement to GAAP financial measures, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA assists investors who follow the practice of some investment analysts who adjust GAAP financial measures to exclude items that may obscure underlying performance and distort comparability.
The following is a reconciliation of net loss to the non-GAAP financial measure referred to as Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:
