NEW YORK, October 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ Swvl Holdings Corp (Swvl or the Company) (NASDAQ: SWVL), a
global provider of transformative tech-enabled mass transit solutions, today announced that operations in 5 of its 10 top countries by revenue, namely Egypt, Turkey, Germany, Kenya, and Jordan, turned Adjusted EBITDA positive or breakeven in August
2022.
Mostafa Kandil, Swvl Founder and CEO, said, We continue to focus on maintaining rapid growth while improving profitability. Over the past few
months, we managed to grow revenues 3.4x year-on-year and 1.3x quarter-over-quarter in Q2 2022 while now achieving Adjusted EBITDA breakeven across all of Africa and
most of Europe and the Middle East.
Youssef Salem, Swvl CFO, said, With 58% of our portfolio turning Adjusted EBITDA neutral or positive, we
believe that we are on track to turn cashflow positive in 2023. The countries achieving Adjusted EBITDA profitability include 3 of our organic markets and 2 markets we entered as a result of our recent acquisitions. We believe that the profitability
of both the direct to consumer and enterprise segments in these countries demonstrates our ability to continue to grow, enhance margins and realize synergies across Swvls full organic and inorganic portfolio.
