Grab cuts losses to $148m in 2Q23

The figure translates to a 74% YoY improvement.

With improved revenue for the quarter, Grab was able to cut its losses in 2Q23 to $148m.

Grab’s loss for the quarter included $65m non-cash share-based compensation expenses and a $50m restructuring charge “that largely consisted of costs from the restructuring exercise we conducted in June 2023.”

In an announcement, Grab said its loss for the quarter translates to a 74% improvement from the same period last year.

In 2Q22, it recorded a loss of $572m.

Grab attributed its lower loss to the improvement in the group’s adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortisation) and a reduction in fair value losses on investments, net interest expenses, and share-based compensation expenses.

The group’s adjusted EBITA for the period was negative $20m, translating to a 92% YoY improvement.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
