Grab Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: GRAB) today announced unaudited
financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
"We continued to harness the strength of the
Grab ecosystem, and improved the usage frequency and reliability of
our products and services. During the quarter, we achieved a new
milestone, serving more users than ever at a record high of 41
million MTUs while delivering continued profitable growth at
scale," said Anthony Tan, Group Chief Executive Officer and
Co-Founder of Grab. "Looking ahead, we are seeing
continued strength in the Southeast Asian economy and will continue
to leverage our key product initiatives to serve more users in the
region, while also driving cost discipline across our
business."
“We delivered robust top-line growth across all of
our segments, with On-Demand GMV growing 18% year-over-year on a
constant currency basis to reach another all-time high. This was
driven by strong demand growth as we increased On-Demand
transactions by 22% year-over-year and drove cross usage of our
products,” said Peter Oey, Chief Financial Officer of
Grab. “We also achieved our tenth consecutive quarter of
Adjusted EBITDA growth and our second quarter of positive Adjusted
Free Cash Flow. We now expect to achieve positive Adjusted Free
Cash Flow for the full year 2024.”

- Revenue grew 17% year-over-year
(“YoY”) to $664 million in the second quarter of 2024, or 23% on a
constant currency basis3, driven by revenue growth across all
segments.
- On-Demand GMV grew 13% YoY, or 18%
YoY on a constant currency basis, underpinned by growth in average
user frequency and total transactions, with On-Demand MTUs growing
by 19% YoY.
- Total incentives were $452 million
in the second quarter of 2024, with incentives primarily
attributable to the On-Demand segments. On-Demand incentives as a
proportion of On-Demand GMV declined to 10.1% in the second
quarter, compared to 10.5% in the same period in 2023, reflecting
our focus on reducing our cost to serve while improving the health
of our marketplace.
- Operating loss in the second
quarter was $56 million, an improvement of $121 million YoY,
primarily attributable to improvements in revenue and lower
restructuring expenses.
- Loss for the quarter was $68
million, an improvement of $79 million YoY, primarily due to an
improvement in Group Adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by an
increase in income tax expense. Our loss for the quarter included
$82 million in non-cash share-based compensation expenses.
- Group Adjusted EBITDA was $64
million for the quarter, an improvement of $81 million YoY compared
to negative $17 million for the same period in 2023, as we
continued to grow On-Demand GMV and revenue, while improving
profitability on a Segment Adjusted EBITDA basis and lowering
regional corporate costs4.
- Regional corporate costs4 for the
quarter were $84 million, compared to $98 million in the same
period in 2023 and $91 million in the prior quarter. We are focused
on driving cost efficiencies across our organization, with staff
costs within regional corporate costs declining 14% YoY.
- Cash liquidity5 totaled $5.6
billion at the end of the second quarter, compared to $5.3 billion
at the end of the prior quarter, with a substantial part of the
cash inflow attributed to the growth in deposits from customers in
the banking business, which increased to $730 million from $479
million from the prior quarter. Our net cash liquidity6 was $5.3
billion at the end of the second quarter, compared to $5.0 billion
at the end of the prior quarter.
- During the second quarter, pursuant
to our $500 million share repurchase program, we have repurchased
an additional 9.6 million shares with an aggregate principal amount
of $34.6 million. Cumulatively, we have repurchased 40 million
shares with the aggregate principal amount of $131 million.
- Net cash from operating activities
was $272 million in the second quarter of 2024, an improvement of
$323 million YoY, mainly driven by an increase in deposits from
customers in the banking business and a reduction in loss before
income tax. Correspondingly, Adjusted Free Cash Flow was positive
at $36 million in the second quarter of 2024, improving by $56
million YoY on improving profitability levels.
- In June 2024, we published our 2023
ESG report7 where we shared more about the progress we have made on
our commitment to our environmental, social, and governance
priorities. Our key ESG highlights in 2023 include recording 99.99%
of all rides occurring without any safety incidents, and reducing
or recycling over 7,365 tons of single-use plastics.
______________________1 We consider Mobility and
Deliveries segments to represent our On-Demand businesses.
On-Demand GMV is defined as the sum of Mobility and Deliveries GMV.
2 The total of current and non-current loan receivables in the
financial services segment, net of expected credit loss allowances.
3 We calculate constant currency by translating our current period
financial results using the corresponding prior period’s monthly
exchange rates for our transacted currencies other than the U.S.
dollar. 4 Regional corporate costs are costs that are not
attributed to any of the business segments, including certain cost
of revenue, research and development expenses, general and
administrative expenses and marketing expenses. These regional
costs of revenue include cloud computing costs. These regional
research and development expenses also include mapping and payment
technologies and support and development of the internal technology
infrastructure. These general and administrative expenses also
include certain shared costs such as finance, accounting, tax,
human resources, technology and legal costs. Regional corporate
costs exclude share-based compensation expenses and capitalized
software costs. 5 Cash liquidity includes cash on hand, time
deposits, marketable securities and restricted cash. 6 Net cash
liquidity includes cash liquidity less loans and borrowings. 7

- Deliveries revenue grew 11% YoY, or
17% YoY on a constant currency basis, to $356 million in the second
quarter from $320 million in the same period in 2023. The strong
growth was primarily attributed to growing demand from our Food
Deliveries business, and increasing contributions from our Jaya and
Advertising businesses.
- Deliveries GMV grew 9% YoY, or 14%
YoY on a constant currency basis, to an all-time high of $2,850
million in the second quarter of 2024, driven by an increase in
total transactions and Deliveries MTUs.
- Deliveries segment adjusted EBITDA
as a percentage of GMV was 1.5% in the second quarter of 2024,
compared to 0.4% in the second quarter of 2023, primarily driven by
lowered overhead expenses, greater optimization of our incentive
spend as a percentage of Deliveries GMV and increased contributions
from Advertising.
- During the second quarter, the
total number of monthly active advertisers who joined our
self-serve platform increased 56% YoY to 168,000 while average
spend by monthly active advertisers on our self-serve platform
increased 26% YoY, as we continued to deepen Advertising
penetration among our merchant-partners.
- Adoption of Saver deliveries, which
offers users a lower delivery fee in exchange for a longer delivery
time and improved batch rates, has seen adoption growing to 28% of
Deliveries transactions8 in the second quarter of 2024, from 10% in
the same period last year.

and groceries transactions.

- Mobility revenues continued to grow
strongly, rising 19% YoY, or 23% YoY on a constant currency basis,
in the second quarter of 2024. Growth was underpinned by strong
growth in Mobility MTUs and transactions. Notably, Mobility MTUs
grew 26% YoY, while average transactions per Mobility MTU also
improved by 9% YoY.
- Mobility GMV increased 20% YoY, or
25% YoY on a constant currency basis to $1,584 million during the
quarter.
- Mobility segment adjusted EBITDA as
a percentage of Mobility GMV was 8.2% in the second quarter of
2024, declining from 8.6% in the same period last year, consistent
with our efforts to invest in rolling-out new product initiatives
to drive sustainable growth in the long-term.
- Saver transport rides9, which are
now available in 5 of our markets, have been instrumental in adding
more users onto our platform and yield positive loyalty and
engagement uplifts:
- 14% of new Group MTUs joined the Grab platform via Saver
transport rides.
- Saver transport users recorded transaction frequency levels
that were 1.9x higher than non-Saver transport users in
Indonesia.
- 8% of MTUs who joined the Grab platform through Saver transport
rides were cross-sold to Food Deliveries in the same month.
- As we continued to increase the
adoption of Saver transport rides, we also rolled out several high
value offerings. Our Advance Booking ride-hailing product, which
was relaunched earlier this year, drives over 3x higher earnings
per ride for our driver-partners as compared to our conventional
Mobility products.
- We continued to increase active
driver supply while optimizing our existing driver supply to meet
growing demand for our services. During the quarter, total monthly
active drivers increased 13% YoY and 5% quarter-over-quarter
(“QoQ”), while driver retention rates remained stable at 90%. Our
efforts to improve driver supply resulted in a 11 percentage points
reduction YoY in the proportion of surged Mobility rides10.
______________________9 Includes GrabHemat in
Indonesia, GrabCar Saver and GrabBike Saver in Thailand, GrabCar
Saver in Malaysia, and GrabBike Economy, and GrabCar Economy in
Vietnam. 10 Surged Mobility rides are defined as completed rides
where demand exceeds supply in a specified region and/or where
pricing regulations adherence is required.

- Revenue for Financial Services grew
54% YoY, or 61% YoY on a constant currency basis, to $60 million in
the second quarter of 2024. The YoY growth was driven by increased
contributions mainly from lending across GrabFin and Digibank, and
further optimization of payments incentive spend.
- Segment adjusted EBITDA for the
quarter improved by 44% YoY to negative $24 million, attributed to
the improved growth and monetization of our lending products that
drove higher revenues and margins, along with reductions in
overhead expenses as we continue to optimize costs.
- We continued to focus on lending to
our ecosystem partners through GrabFin and our Digibanks, with
total loans disbursed growing by 43% YoY and 4% QoQ to $500 million
during the quarter. Our total loan portfolio outstanding at the end
of the second quarter grew 71% YoY to $397 million from $233
million in the prior year period.
- Customer deposits in our digital
bank business grew strongly to $730 million in the second quarter
from $33 million in the same period last year and from $479 million
in the prior quarter. The strong growth was mainly driven by an
increased number of deposit customers in both GXS Bank and GXBank,
our digital bank in Malaysia. In less than a year since its public
launch, GXBank has over 750,000 deposit customers which include
more than 500,000 GXBank Debit cardholders as of July 2024.

We use our website as a means of disclosing
material non-public information. Such disclosures will be included
on our website in the “Investor Relations'' section or at

sections of our website, in addition to following our press
releases, SEC filings and public conference calls and webcasts.
Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our

incorporated by reference herein.
Forward-Looking Statements
This document and the announced investor webcast
contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the
“safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of
historical fact contained in this document and the webcast,
including but not limited to, statements about Grab’s goals,
targets, projections, outlooks, beliefs, expectations, strategy,
plans, objectives of management for future operations of Grab, and
growth opportunities, are forward-looking statements. Some of these
forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of
forward-looking words, including “anticipate,” “expect,” “suggest,”
“plan,” “believe,” “intend,” “estimate,” “target,” “project,”
“should,” “could,” “would,” “may,” “will,” “forecast” or other
similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based upon
estimates and forecasts and reflect the views, assumptions,
expectations, and opinions of Grab, which involve inherent risks
and uncertainties, and therefore should not be relied upon as being
necessarily indicative of future results. A number of factors,
including macro-economic, industry, business, regulatory and other
risks, could cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in any forward-looking statement, including but not
limited to: Grab’s ability to grow at the desired rate or scale and
its ability to manage its growth; its ability to further develop
its business, including new products and services; its ability to
attract and retain partners and consumers; its ability to compete
effectively in the intensely competitive and constantly changing
market; its ability to continue to raise sufficient capital; its
ability to reduce net losses and the use of partner and consumer
incentives, and to achieve profitability; potential impact of the
complex legal and regulatory environment on its business; its
ability to protect and maintain its brand and reputation; general
economic conditions, in particular as a result of currency exchange
fluctuations and inflation; expected growth of markets in which
Grab operates or may operate; and its ability to defend any legal
or governmental proceedings instituted against it. In addition to
the foregoing factors, you should also carefully consider the other
risks and uncertainties described under “Item 3. Key Information –
D. Risk Factors” and in other sections of Grab’s annual report on
Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, as well as in other
documents filed by Grab from time to time with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the
date they are made. Grab does not undertake any obligation to
update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new
information, future developments, or otherwise, except as required
under applicable law.
Unaudited Financial
Information
Grab’s unaudited selected financial data for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 included
in this document and the investor webcast is based on financial
data derived from Grab’s management accounts that have not been
reviewed or audited.
Certain amounts and percentages that appear in
this document may not sum due to rounding.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
This document and the investor webcast include
references to non-IFRS financial measures, which include: Adjusted
EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin,
Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted
Free Cash Flow. Grab uses Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Adjusted EBITDA,
Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin, Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA, and
Adjusted EBITDA margin for financial and operational
decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period
comparisons, and Grab’s management believes that these non-IFRS
financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information
regarding its performance by excluding certain items that may not
be indicative of its recurring core business operating results. For
example, Grab’s management uses Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA as a
useful indicator of the economics of Grab’s business segments, as
it does not include regional corporate costs. Adjusted Free Cash
Flow excludes the effects of the movement in working capital for
our lending and digital banking deposit activities. Grab uses
Adjusted Free Cash Flow to monitor business performance and assess
its cash flow activity other than its lending and digital banking
deposit activities, and Grab’s management believes that the
additional disclosure serves as a useful indicator for comparison
with the cash flow reporting of certain of its peers.
However, there are a number of limitations
related to the use of non-IFRS financial measures, and as such, the
presentation of these non-IFRS financial measures should not be
considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, financial
measures determined in accordance with IFRS. In addition, these
non-IFRS financial measures may differ from non-IFRS financial
measures with comparable names used by other companies. See below
for additional explanations about the non-IFRS financial measures,
including their definitions and a reconciliation of these measures
to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures. With
regard to forward-looking non-IFRS guidance and targets provided in
this document and the investor webcast, Grab is unable to provide a
reconciliation of these forward-looking non-IFRS measures to the
most directly comparable IFRS measures without unreasonable efforts
because the information needed to reconcile these measures is
dependent on future events, many of which Grab is unable to control
or predict.
Explanation of non-IFRS financial measures:
- Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS
financial measure calculated as profit (loss) for the period
adjusted to exclude: (i) net interest income (expenses), (ii) net
other income (expenses), (iii) income tax expenses (credit), (iv)
depreciation and amortization, (v) share-based compensation
expenses, (vi) costs related to mergers and acquisitions, (vii)
foreign exchange gain (loss), (viii) impairment losses on goodwill
and non-financial assets, (ix) fair value changes on investments,
(x) restructuring costs, (xi) legal, tax and regulatory settlement
provisions and (xii) share listing and associated expenses.
Starting from January 2024, realized foreign exchange gain (loss)
is additionally excluded from Adjusted EBITDA (as compared to only
unrealized foreign exchange gain (loss) in previous reports).
Grab’s management believes that this change enhances the comparison
of Grab with certain of its peers. Adjusted EBITDA for all periods
presented in this earnings release reflect this new definition of
Adjusted EBITDA.
- Segment Adjusted EBITDA is a
non-IFRS financial measure, representing the Adjusted EBITDA of
each of our four business segments, excluding, in each case,
regional corporate costs.
- Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin is a
non-IFRS financial measure, calculated as Segment Adjusted EBITDA
divided by Gross Merchandise Value. For Financial Services and
Others, Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Segment
Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenue.
- Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA is a
non-IFRS financial measure, representing the sum of Adjusted EBITDA
of our four business segments.
- Adjusted EBITDA margin is a
non-IFRS financial measure calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by
Revenue.
- Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a
non-IFRS financial measure, defined as net cash flows from
operating activities less capital expenditures, excluding changes
in working capital related to loans and advances to customers, and
deposits from the digital banking business.

We compare the percent change in our current
period results from the corresponding prior period using constant
currency. We present constant currency growth rate information to
provide a framework for assessing how our underlying GMV and
revenue performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate
fluctuations. We calculate constant currency by translating our
current period financial results using the corresponding prior
period’s monthly exchange rates for our transacted currencies other
than the U.S. dollar.
Operating Metrics Gross
Merchandise Value (GMV) is an operating metric representing the sum
of the total dollar value of transactions from Grab’s products and
services, including any applicable taxes, tips, tolls, surcharges
and fees, over the period of measurement. GMV includes sales made
through offline stores. GMV is a metric by which Grab understands,
evaluates and manages its business, and Grab’s management believes
is necessary for investors to understand and evaluate its business.
GMV provides useful information to investors as it represents the
amount of customer spend that is being directed through Grab’s
platform. This metric enables Grab and investors to understand,
evaluate and compare the total amount of customer spending that is
being directed through its platform over a period of time. Grab
presents GMV as a metric to understand and compare, and to enable
investors to understand and compare, Grab’s aggregate operating
results, which captures significant trends in its business over
time.
Monthly Transacting User (MTUs) is defined as
the monthly number of unique users who transact via Grab’s apps
(including OVO, GXS Bank, GXBank and Move It), where transact means
to have successfully paid for or utilized any of Grab’s products or
services (including lending and offline Jaya Grocer transactions
where users record their Jaya Grocer loyalty points on the Grab
app). MTUs over a quarterly or annual period are calculated based
on the average of the MTUs for each month in the relevant period.
MTUs is a metric by which Grab understands, evaluates and manages
its business, and Grab’s management believes is necessary for
investors to understand and evaluate its business.
Partner incentives is an operating metric
representing the dollar value of incentives granted to driver- and
merchant-partners, the effect of which is to reduce revenue. For
certain delivery offerings where Grab is contractually responsible
for delivery services provided to end-users, incentives granted to
driver-partners are recognized in cost of revenue.
Consumer incentives is an operating metric
representing the dollar value of discounts and promotions offered
to consumers, the effect of which is to reduce revenue. Partner
incentives and consumer incentives are metrics by which we
understand, evaluate and manage our business, and we believe are
necessary for investors to understand and evaluate our business. We
believe these metrics capture significant trends in our business
over time.
Loan portfolio is an operating metric
representing the total of current and non-current loan receivables
in the financial services segment, net of expected credit loss
allowances.

* Amount less than $1 million
As we incurred a net loss for the three months
and six months ended June 30, 2024, basic loss per share was the
same as diluted loss per share.
The number of outstanding Class A and Class B
ordinary shares was 3,842 million and 119 million as of June 30,
2024, and 3,791 million and 113 million, respectively, as of June
30, 2023. 357 million and 362 million potentially dilutive
outstanding securities were excluded from the computation of
diluted loss per ordinary share because their effects would have
been antidilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
respectively, or issuance of such shares is contingent upon the
satisfaction of certain conditions which were not satisfied by the
end of the period.
