SWVL Swvl Holdings Corporation

Swvl Holdings Corp (“Swvl” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SWVL), a global provider of transformative tech-enabled mass transit solutions, today reported that it is implementing further measures as part of its previously announced and ongoing portfolio optimization program to reduce costs.

These further measures will include the following:

• Focus on the largest markets which contribute the majority of Swvl’s revenues, primarily in Egypt and Mexico
• Evaluation of strategic alternatives for smaller countries of operations which can include potential sale, scale back or discontinuation of these operations
• Reduction in headcount by over 50%
• Reduction in operating expenses across central costs as well as all markets. These include aggressive cost cutting in discretionary spending such as marketing expenses and other third-party services.

Swvl is taking these measures amid the continuing uncertainty in the global economic environment and volatility in capital markets, which potentially impact Swvl’s ability to generate sufficient cash from operating activities and external financings to fund working capital and service its commitments.
