Grab's revenue more than doubles to $525m in Q1

The company's loss for the period recovered 43% YoY to $250m.

Grab Holdings Limited's (Grab) revenue more than doubled by 130% year-over-year (YoY) to $525m in Q1 from $228m last year.

The company attributed the increase to revenue growth across all of its segments, the reduction in incentives, and a change in its business model for specific delivery offerings in one of its markets.

Its bourse filing also reported a 43% YoY improvement in Grab's loss for the period to $250m from $435m due to its adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) recovered 77% YoY to negative $66m from negative $287m and a reduction in net interest expenses.

Meanwhile, Grab's gross merchandise value increased by 3% YoY to $4.96b from $4.81b due to the continued growth in its Mobility segment, which offset softer demands in its Deliveries segment because of the holidays during Q1, such as Chinese New Year and Ramadan.

The company's monthly transacting users grew 8% YoY to 3.3 million from 30.9 million.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.
The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.
If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
