Ryde Reports First Half 2026 Results
Basic and diluted loss per share narrowed to S$0.09, while weighted-average ordinary shares increased to 142.268 million.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
Ryde (RYDE) reported unaudited first-half 2026 revenue growth of 17%, alongside a narrower operating loss and a larger net loss. Revenue reached S$6.7 million, versus S$5.7 million in first-half 2025. Mobility revenue rose 8% to S$4.5 million on higher gross transaction value. New management consultancy income contributed S$0.6 million, largely offset by related costs.
The adjusted EBITDA deficit, a measure excluding specified expenses and joint-venture results, narrowed 37% to S$1.9 million. Legal and professional fees fell S$1.3 million. Operating loss narrowed to S$2.227 million from S$3.302 million, but net loss widened to S$13.421 million from S$4.812 million as share-based compensation rose to S$11.392 million from S$1.542 million. Ryde also completed a US$14.9 million private offering in April 2026.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Non-US GAAP Financial Measures
This document includes references to non-US GAAP financial measures. Ryde uses these non-US GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons, and Ryde's management believes that these non-US GAAP 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. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of non-US GAAP financial measures, and as such, the presentation of these non-US GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, financial measures determined in accordance with US GAAP. In addition, these non-US GAAP financial measures may differ from non-US GAAP financial measures with comparable names used by other companies. See below for additional explanations about the non-US GAAP financial measures, including their definitions and a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable US GAAP financial measures.
Explanation of non-US GAAP financial measures:
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-US GAAP financial measure calculated as net loss adjusted to exclude: (a) finance cost, (b) income tax expense or benefit, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) share-based compensation, and (e) impairment loss on goodwill. Commencing with the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company also excludes its share of results of joint ventures, which management does not consider indicative of the Company's operating performance. No such amounts arose in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and the comparative amount is therefore unaffected.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a financial measure, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and is not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with US GAAP. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable US GAAP measure see the section titled "Reconciliation of Non-US GAAP Financial Measures".
Reconciliation of Non-US GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial information, we use the following non-US GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA. However, the definitions of our non-US GAAP financial measures may be different from those used by other companies, and therefore, may not be comparable. Furthermore, these non-US GAAP financial measures have certain limitations in that they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our consolidated financial statements that are necessary to run our business. Thus, these non-US GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for, or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with US GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by providing a reconciliation of these non-US GAAP financial measures to the related US GAAP financial measures. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure and to view these non-US GAAP financial measures in conjunction with their respective related US GAAP financial measures.
The following tables provide reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA.
