• Adjusted gross margin fell to 52.1% from 55.7% a year earlier, while adjusted EBITDA margin declined to 27.7% from 31%, primarily due to investments in LimePrime and newer mega-city markets.
• Following the IPO, Lime repaid its $115 million senior secured term loan and converted its notes, leaving the company with no long-term debt; however, Q2 net income was boosted by a one-time $289.1 million deferred-tax benefit and affected by IPO-related share-based compensation.
