Swvl Reports First Half 2023 Financial Results

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Dec. 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Swvl Holdings Corp (“Swvl” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SWVL), a technology provider for enterprise and government mobility solutions with a global footprint, has proudly announced a significant milestone in its financial performance for the first half of the fiscal year 2023. The Company has achieved positive operating cash flow and net profits, which it believes demonstrates the successful completion of the portfolio optimization program initiated last year, off the back of the global economic and capital markets environment at the time. Swvl aims to maintain and further boost profitability while resuming its enhanced strategic expansions to high revenue markets.

Key highlights from Swvl's H1 2023 financial report include:

  • Operating Cash Flow: Operating cash inflows of $2.2 million in H1 2023, compared to operating outflows of $76.8 million in H1 2022.
  • Gross Profit: Gross profit of $1.8 million in H1 2023, compared to gross loss of $2.7 million in H1 2022.
  • Operating Profit: Operating profit of $13.4 million in H1 2023, compared to operating loss of $56.0 million in H1 2022.
  • Net Profit: Net profit of $2.1 million in 2023, compared to net loss of $161.6 million in H1 2022.
  • Total Equity: Total equity book value of $5.0 million as of 30 June 2023, compared to total equity of $2.6 million as of 31 December 2022 (total deficit of $24.5 million as of 30 June 2022).

This achievement underscores the Company's commitment to financial stability, operational efficiency, and profitable growth initiatives implemented throughout the fiscal year. The successful transformation to positive cashflow and profitability is pivotal for Swvl’s enhanced strategic expansions to high revenue markets.

Please refer to appendix A below for the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Mostafa Kandil, CEO of Swvl, said, "I’m proud of the Swvl team and how we managed this transformation in only a few months, despite the macroeconomic downturn, achieving all the objectives set in our portfolio optimization strategy. I believe that Swvl is now creating significant value for its shareholders and is positioned for profitable growth and enhanced expansions in high revenue markets."

Post June 30, 2023, Swvl continued to make strides to further solidify its financial position. The Company completed an all-cash sale of one of its subsidiaries Urbvan, which represented approximately 7% of Swvl’s IFRS revenues as of December 31, 2022 for gross proceeds of $12 million after acquiring the business in an all-share deal.

Swvl remains focused on sustaining this positive momentum, further strengthening its financial position, and continuing to deliver enhanced value to its stakeholders in the future of mobility landscape.
