1. Record Fiscal Q1 Revenue Sets Stage for the Year AheadFirst quarter fiscal 2026 revenue increased 22% to $10.9 million from $8.9 million last year – the strongest first quarter revenue on record for Roadzen, driven by growth in India and the U.S., along with the resumption of U.K. business opportunities. 2. Significantly Narrowed Net Loss and Fourth Straight Quarter of Adjusted EBITDA1 Improvement Net loss narrowed to $(4.0) million from $(48.4) million in the first quarter last fiscal year, a 92% year-over-year improvement. Adjusted EBITDA loss improved to $(1.4) million from $(2.8) million the prior year — a 50% year-over-year improvement — marking the fourth consecutive quarter of sequential gains as the Company moves toward Adjusted EBITDA breakeven within this fiscal year.3. Balance Sheet Strengthened Through Capital Raised at a Premium, Anchored by Roadzen’s Major Shareholders in JulySubsequent to the fiscal Q1 end, in the last week of July 2025, Roadzen closed two securities purchase transactions totaling approximately $4.5 million. The first transaction was priced at $1.25 per share, a 20% premium to market and led by Roadzen’s major shareholders; the second transaction was priced at $1.30 per share, both indicating strong investor confidence in the Company’s trajectory. NEW YORK, Aug. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Roadzen Inc. (Nasdaq: RDZN) ("Roadzen" or the "Company”), a global leader in AI at the convergence of insurance and mobility, today announced its financial results for the three-months ended June 30, 2025, its first quarter of fiscal year 2026. “Roadzen delivered a record first quarter, with revenue up more than 22% year-over-year and our fourth consecutive quarter of improving Adjusted EBITDA, moving us significantly further along our path to breakeven,” said Rohan Malhotra, CEO and founder of Roadzen. “Q1 is typically our slowest quarter of the year due to seasonality, so this level of growth marks an important inflection point for us. The foundation we’ve built — stronger operations, a cleaner balance sheet, and a robust global client base — positions us to deliver the best year in our history.” Malhotra continued, “We have multiple catalysts ahead, from the greenshoots in our U.K. business to regulatory tailwinds driving adoption of DrivebuddyAI in India, and expanding partnerships with some of the world’s largest insurers, automakers, and fleets as they choose Roadzen to bring AI to their operations. We believe the value we’re creating — through innovation, disciplined execution, and strategic growth — will be reflected in both our results and our market valuation. We ask investors to track three things this year: our growth on the path to breakeven, the continued strengthening of our balance sheet, and the innovations that reinforce our leadership as the leading AI company in insurance. This is a golden age of AI, and our mission is to power it — building solutions that transform the way mobility is insured worldwide.” “This quarter’s results reflect the financial rigor and structural improvements we’ve worked hard to implement over the past year,” said Jean-Noël Gallardo, Chief Financial Officer of Roadzen. “We’ve significantly reduced operating expenses and brought more predictability to our financial model—all while supporting growth in strategic areas. Through a combination of disciplined cost management and targeted capital raises, we now have a clear path to reach Adjusted EBITDA breakeven.” Mr. Gallardo added, “As our revenue base expands and costs remain controlled, we expect continued margin expansion and improved cash flow dynamics. We’re focused on maintaining this momentum and delivering sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders.” First Fiscal Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights: Revenue and Key Performance Indicators: Record first quarter revenue totaling $10.9 million from $8.9 million, an increase of 22% over the prior year period, reflecting incremental revenue from the U.S. market and continuing growth in India.   Brokerage solutions accounted for 53% of total revenue, increasing $2.6 million, or 86% over the prior year, while IaaS revenue accounted for the remaining 47% of revenue, decreasing $0.7 million, or 12% over the prior year.As of June 30, 2025, Roadzen had 34 insurance customer agreements (including carriers, self-insureds and other entities processing insurance claims), compared to 34 as of June 30, 2024.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA aids investors by providing an operating profit/loss without the impact of non-cash depreciation and amortization and certain non-recurring and 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 flows provided by, or used for, operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be used as a measure of liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for financial information presented under GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures versus comparable financial measures determined under GAAP. For example, other companies in our industry may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance. These limitations could reduce the usefulness of these non-GAAP financial measures as analytical tools. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and to not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. The following table reconciles our net loss reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA:   For the three months ended June 30, Particulars 2025  2024 Net loss (Including Non Controlling Interest)  (4,005,770)  (48,407,025)Adjusted for:        Other (income)/expense net  47,922   (22,352)Interest (income)/expense  941,319   821,686 Fair value changes in financial instruments carried at fair value  511,538   17,152,060 Tax (benefit)/expense  79,979   106,650 Depreciation and amortization  125,000   480,349 Stock based compensation expense  71,358   26,230,989 Non-cash expenses  306,714   285,060 Non-recurring expenses  516,102   524,758 Adjusted EBITDA  (1,405,838)  (2,827,825) 1 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial metric.
