“2021 was a milestone year for EzFill, during which we completed our Initial Public Offering, enhanced our marketing and sales efforts, and increased our fleet of fueling trucks, solidifying our position as the market leader in mobile fueling in Florida,” commented Michael McConnell, Chief Executive Officer of EzFill. “I am particularly encouraged by the early success of our recently expanded sales team in continuing to secure new commercial fleet customers. Since our IPO, we have added 15 new fleet customers. Also, we have recently launched an aggressive marketing and advertising campaign to drive further consumer adoption of the EzFill mobile fueling app.
“In the coming months, EzFill will focus on growing sales, and more specifically, expanding our brand and service offering in new markets as part of our geographic expansion strategy. With our recent agreement to acquire the mobile fuel delivery business, Full Service Fueling Inc., and our expanded fleet of fueling trucks, we have secured our position to effectively serve major Florida markets.
“In addition to new markets in Florida, we are in the process of completing all the required steps and documentation needed in order to launch a pilot program in New York. As the mobile fleet fueling industry evolves, safety regulations have grown increasingly more stringent to help mitigate risk. The fire engineering consulting team working with EzFill has designed new classes of cargo tank trucks that not only meet but exceed the current standard which will enable us to expand into densely populated markets. Having designed a compliant fleet to mitigate risk will enable us to expand into these coveted market segments with the proper approvals. This creates a significant opportunity for EzFill to become the first mobile fueling company to operate in some of the largest cities in the U.S.,” concluded McConnell.
Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results
During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company reported revenue of $2.0 million, up from $1.1 million in the same period of the prior year, representing an increase of 77%, due to higher average fuel prices per gallon and increased gallons delivered.

Cost of sales was $2.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $1.1 million in the same period of the prior year. The increase compared to the prior year reflects the increase in sales.

Depreciation and amortization of $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 was more than double the same period of the prior year and reflects the increase in the truck fleet size and the licensing of technology.
Interest expense decreased in the quarter due to the early repayment in September of pre-IPO debt.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial 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 and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:
