Helbiz Founder and Chief Executive Officer Salvatore Palella said, “We kicked off 2022 with solid growth across our diversified lines of business, especially due to the growing interest in Helbiz Unlimited, which bundles mobility, live streaming and food delivery services. Alongside our strong relationships with local governments, we made progress in strategic partnerships across our mobility and media businesses.”
Palella continued, “We are negotiating a potential M&A transaction that could substantially increase our footprint and revenue. Parallel to this, we are applying for licenses and in discussions with new markets in the U.S., Europe and Asia Pacific to expand our service footprint. As demand recovers from pre-COVID levels, we expect faster growth in ride utilization and city expansion.”
Helbiz Chief Financial Officer Giulio Profumo said, “The top line in Q1 grew substantially from one year ago, due to both our core mobility business and our emerging media initiative. Looking ahead, we are delivering vehicles to enlarge our fleet as planned. Our success is a function of the effort of our team around the world, and our willingness to make strategic investments. To fund growth, we recently secured another $10 million of capital via two convertible notes and we are well-positioned to capitalize on the progress of the industry as the year progresses.”

(A) Commitments and Contingencies
Leases
The Company entered into various non-cancellable operating lease agreements for office facilities, e-mopeds leases, corporate vehicles’ licensing, and corporate housing entered by the Company with lease periods expiring through 2024. These agreements require the payment of certain operating expenses, such as non-refundable taxes, repairs and insurance and contain renewal and escalation clauses. The terms of the leases provide for payments on a monthly basis and sometimes on a graduated scale. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease period and has accrued for rent expense incurred but not paid. Lease expenses under operating leases were $525 for the three months ended on March 31, 2022, and $464 for the three months ended on March 31, 2021.
Additionally, in June 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement for 2,950 eScooters with a European financial institution. This agreement, which has a duration of 12 months, became effective on March 1, 2022, following the delivery of the vehicles to the Company’s warehouse. The Company shall pay a leasing fee of $224 (Euro 202), on a monthly basis, for a cumulative amount of $2,691 (Euro 2,424). At the end of the leasing agreement, the Company has the option to purchase the leased assets for a cumulative amount of $42 (Euro 38). Based on the terms of the purchase option the Company categorized the agreement as capital lease. The eScooters under the lease are collateral for the lease obligations and are included within property, plant and equipment on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022. Lease expenses under capital leases were accounted as interest expenses for $29 for the three months ended on March 31, 2022.
