Swvl H1 2026 revenue hits $16.2M; net loss is $520K
GCC revenue more than doubled, and Swvl reported $14.5 million in gross proceeds from August private placements.
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 Filing Summary
Swvl Holdings Corp (SWVL) reported H1 2026 revenue of $16.2 million, up 59% from $10.2 million in H1 2025. GCC revenue was $7.1 million, up 107%; recurring revenue represented 88% of total, dollar-pegged revenue 44%, and net dollar retention was 123%. Gross profit was $2.9 million, up 35%.
Swvl recorded a $520,182 net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026, versus $432,200 profit a year earlier. Operating loss was $570,113 versus $416,259, and net cash used in operating activities was $2.02 million versus $250,110. Cash and cash equivalents were $2.09 million as of June 30, 2026.
On August 25 and 26, 2026, Swvl agreed to issue and sell 8,990,317 and 1,027,397 Class A ordinary shares, respectively, in private placements; it reported receiving $14.5 million in aggregate. One investor’s agreed purchase of 2,047,668 shares was replaced with pre-funded warrants exercisable at $0.001 per share. Net proceeds are intended for working capital and general corporate purposes, including expansion in the GCC, United Kingdom and United States.
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.
Positive
- Moderate pointH1 revenue increased 59% to $16.2 million year over year.
Negative
- Moderate pointH1 net results shifted from $432,200 profit to $520,182 loss.
- Moderate pointH1 operating cash use reached $2.02 million, versus $250,110.

The Group, in certain cases, is required to have a resident as one of the shareholders besides the Parent Company to comply with local laws and regulations. However, in such cases, the Group continues to remain the economic beneficiary of the shareholding held by such resident shareholder and therefore is said to have a “beneficial ownership” of such non-controlling interests. Legal ownership and beneficial ownership are the same except as indicated below.
| (i) | The Parent Company’s subsidiary’s Swvl for Mobility Solutions FZE and Smart Mobility Solutions for Transportation Services were incorporated during the year ended 31 December 2024. Further, Swvl for Website Design Company was incorporated during the year ended 31 December 2025. The subsidiaries are currently legally owned by a member of the Group’s management and are in the process of a legal ownership transfer to the Group. The subsidiaries have been consolidated based on the beneficial ownership and effective control. |
| (ii) | The Parent Company’s subsidiary Smart Way Transportation LLC was incorporated during the year ended 31 December 2021. The subsidiary is currently legally owned by a member of the Group’s management. During 2022, the Group’s board of directors resolved to discontinue the subsidiary’s operations. As of 30 June 2026, the company is still in liquidation process. The subsidiary has been consolidated based on the beneficial ownership and effective control. |

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are for the six-month periods ended 30 June 2026 and 2025 and are presented in United States Dollars (“USD” or “$”), which is the functional currency of the Parent Company.

ii) | Historical cost convention |
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the following:
- | Certain financial assets, derivative warrant liabilities, derivative liabilities, convertible notes, and earnouts liabilities that are measured at fair value. |
- | Income and expenses that have been accounted for using the accrual basis. |
The consolidated financial statements have been presented in US Dollars (“USD”, “$”) which is the reporting currency of the Group.

2.2 | Amended standards adopted by the Group |
A number of amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period. The Group did not have to change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these amended standards.
2.3Accounting policies
The accounting policies used for the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2026 are consistent with those used in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
3Critical accounting judgments and estimates
When preparing the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2026 and 2025, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty, were the same as those applied in the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.

19(Loss)/earnings per share
Basic (loss)/earnings per share is computed by dividing the net (loss)/profit attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
During the six-month period ended 30 June 2026, the Group was loss making, therefore, all potentially dilutive instruments have an anti-dilutive impact and have been excluded in the calculation of diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. These instruments include certain outstanding equity awards, warrants, share options and convertible loans and could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and dilutive (loss)/earnings from the continued operations per share attributable to the Group’s ordinary shareholders:

22Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
| ● | in the principal market for the asset or liability; or |
| ● | in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. |
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Group. The fair value of an asset or liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurement are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
Level 1: quoted market price (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability; either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: inputs that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The carrying amounts of the financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their fair values.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations provides information that we believe to be relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition for the periods described.

Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. Forward-looking statements are often characterized by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue,” “believe,” “should,” “intend,” “project” or other similar words, but are not the only way these statements are identified. These forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements relating to our objectives, plans and strategy for our business, statements that contain projections of results of operation or of financial condition, risks and uncertainties, expected capital needs and expenses, statements relating to the research, development, completion and use of our products, and all statements (other than statements of historical facts) that address activities, events or developments that we intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. We have based these forward-looking statements on assumptions and assessments made by our management in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors they believe to be appropriate and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
Please see the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions associated with these statements and for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future.
These statements are only current predictions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements. We discuss many of these risks in our Annual Report. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, performance, or achievements. Except as required by law, we are under no duty to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this Report.
Overview
We are a technology-driven disruptive mobility company that aims to provide reliable, safe, cost-effective and environmentally responsible mass transit solutions. Our mission is to identify and solve inefficiencies associated with low-quality or sometimes non-existent public transportation infrastructure in urban areas that are in critical need of such services. Our technology and services provide commuters, travelers and businesses with a valuable alternative to traditional public transportation, taxi companies or other ridesharing companies. Through our Swvl platform, we provide thousands of riders per day with dynamic routing and a self-optimizing network of minibuses and other vehicles, helping people get where they need to go.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
Our revenue consists of two components: (i) a business-to-customer (“B2C”) component, representing the gross amount of fares charged to end-users of our platform, not including reductions of end-user discounts and promotions, sales refunds, uncollected cash and Sales waivers (as defined below); and (ii) a business-to-business (“B2B”) component representing contractual smart transportation services for our corporate customer’s employees through the Swvl application, which is referred to as ‘Transport as a service’ (“TaaS”) and ‘Software as a service’ (“SaaS”), which enables corporate customers to manage their own fleets more efficiently. For further details on our revenue recognition, please see the Revenue details in the subsection “Critical Accounting Estimates”.
Cost of Sales
Our cost of sales consists of costs directly related to delivering transportation services, which include payments to captains for operating our routes (net of any deductions, including any amount charged to captains on account of breach of terms of service), bonuses payable to captains, tolls and fines paid by Swvl. Our cost of sales does not include any depreciation or amortization expenses. Our depreciation and amortization expenses are almost exclusively attributable to non-revenue generating activities, including depreciation of our facilities and equipment which support our back-office operations and depreciation of right-of-use assets associated with corporate leases.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel-related compensation costs including employee share scheme charges, professional services fees, technology costs, office costs, travel costs, depreciation, insurance, rent, bank fees, foreign exchange losses/gains, utilities, communication and other corporate costs. Our general and administrative expenses are expensed as incurred.
Sales and Marketing Costs
Our sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of growth marketing expenses, offline marketing expenses, personnel compensation expenses and the costs of credits offered to riders for referring new riders. Our sales and marketing costs are expensed as incurred.
Charge for Provision for Expected Credit Losses
Our charge for provision for expected credit losses primarily consists of impairment allowances recognized on our trade receivables from business customers and on customer wallet receivables from riders in our business-to-consumer business, measured under the simplified lifetime expected credit loss approach of the International Financial Reporting Standards 9: Financial Instruments. The charge reflects changes in the aging profile of outstanding balances, historical collection experience and forward-looking information, and is presented separately from general and administrative expenses. Reversals of previously recognized allowances, where balances are subsequently collected, are credited to the same line.
Other Income/(Expenses)
Our other income consists primarily of recovery of previously written off assets that were not expected to be recovered, rental income and supplier discounts from on-going business operations. Other expenses consist primarily of indirect tax expenses and other expenses not categorized elsewhere.
Finance Income and Finance Costs
Our finance income consists primarily of dividend and interest income from bank deposits. Our finance costs consist primarily of lease finance charges and interest expense on financial liabilities.
Changes in Fair Value of Financial Liabilities
Changes in fair value of financial liabilities consist of the change in the fair value of the Group’s earnouts liabilities, certain warrant liabilities and change in fair value of deferred purchase price resulting from the acquisition of certain subsidiaries by the Group.
Income Tax Expense/Benefit
Income tax expense/benefit primarily relates to the deferred tax asset created on tax losses incurred by the Company, which can be set off against future taxable income. We have deferred tax asset balances in Egypt as carried forward losses from the early years of operation, planned to be utilized against future taxable income.
Impact of Foreign Currency Translation
As we have operations in countries with different currencies, foreign currencies have an impact on our results of operations. The main impact of foreign currency fluctuations on us is from the exchange rate of the USD to EGP, which we are subject to in our business in Egypt.

Business to customers | | $ | 1.98 | | $ | 1.51 |
| 31% | |
We disaggregate revenue by the type of customer served as follows: Revenue from Swvl Retail and Swvl Travel together is considered as B2C, and revenue from both TaaS and SaaS together is considered as B2B.
Revenues from B2C for H1 2026 were approximately $1.98 million, an increase of approximately $0.47 million, or 31%, compared to H1 2025. This was primarily due to an increase in average fares on our Egypt intercity travel routes following fare adjustments made during the second half of FY 2025 and H1 2026. We operated this business exclusively inside Egypt during both periods presented.
Revenues from B2B for H1 2026 were approximately $14.24 million, an increase of approximately $5.56 million, or 64%, compared to H1 2025. The increase was primarily due to the expansion of our enterprise customer base and growth within existing accounts across all of our markets. GCC revenue, all of which is B2B, more than doubled to approximately $7.12 million from approximately $3.44 million, while B2B revenue in Egypt grew by approximately 36% to $7.13 million in H1 2026, from $5.24 million in H1 2025.

Cost of sales for H1 2026 was approximately $13.27 million, an increase of approximately $5.27 million, or 66%, compared to H1 2025. This increase is primarily on account of the captain costs incurred to fulfill the growth in B2C and B2B revenue, where our customers are predominantly served through third-party fleet operators.
General and Administrative Expenses

| 29% | |
General and administrative expenses for H1 2026 were approximately $3.74 million, an increase of approximately $0.84 million, or 29%, from H1 2025. This increase is primarily due to an increase in staff costs of approximately $0.95 million to $2.47 million from $1.52 million, reflecting the build-out of our teams in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia (including our product and technology team) and in our new market in the United States, together with higher depreciation of property and equipment and right-of-use assets (an increase of approximately $0.13 million, following the renewal of office leases and leasehold improvements in Egypt) and higher technology and IT costs (an increase of approximately $0.11 million). These increases were partially offset by a decrease in professional fees of approximately $0.39 million, to $0.27 million in H1 2026, from $0.66 million in H1 2025.

Sales and marketing expenses for H1 2026 were approximately $0.32 million, compared to approximately $0.01 million for H1 2025, an increase of approximately $0.31 million. The increase is primarily due to staff costs of approximately $0.28 million for the dedicated commercial team we built during the second half of FY 2025 and H1 2026, principally in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and the United States, to support enterprise sales across the GCC and our new markets, together with marketing spend of approximately $0.04 million compared to $0.01 million in H1 2025.

Other income in H1 2026 was approximately $0.78 million, an increase of approximately $0.35 million, or 81%, compared to H1 2025. The increase is mainly due to discounts and rebates obtained from transportation suppliers on the cost of serving our recurring enterprise contracts, which represented approximately half of other income, and rental income from the sub-lease of office premises, which represented the remaining half. Other income in H1 2026 arose principally in Saudi Arabia (approximately $0.37 million) and the United Arab Emirates (approximately $0.35 million).

Change in fair value of financial liabilities for H1 2026 was approximately a gain of $0.18 million, compared to a gain of $0.84 million in H1 2025. This gain is mainly due to the decrease in the fair value of our derivative warrant liabilities to $0.22 million as of June 30, 2026 from $0.40 million as of December 31, 2025, reflecting the decline in the trading price of our Ordinary Shares and the shorter remaining term of the warrants, partially offset by the accretion of the deferred purchase price liability of approximately $0.01 million. The larger gain in H1 2025 reflected a more significant reduction in the fair value of the warrant liabilities during that period.

Finance income | | $ | 0.04 | | $ | 0.11 | | (64)% |

| 89% |
Finance income for H1 2026 was approximately $0.04 million, a decrease of approximately $0.07 million, or 64%, compared to H1 2025. Finance income is mainly driven by dividend income from the Group’s cash sweep account and short-term treasury instruments of approximately $0.03 million and interest income earned on bank balances in Egypt of approximately $0.01 million. The decrease is primarily due to lower average cash balances held in the sweep account and treasury instruments during H1 2026 compared to H1 2025, as cash was deployed to fund working capital.
Finance costs for H1 2026 were approximately $0.17 million, as compared to $0.09 million for H1 2025, an increase of approximately $0.08 million, or 89%. Those costs are mainly interest expense on our credit facility and a short-term bank loan in Egypt of approximately $0.09 million, interest accretion on lease liabilities of approximately $0.07 million (compared to approximately $0.06 million in H1 2025) and the unwinding of the discount on our license cost liability of approximately $0.01 million. The increase is primarily due to interest on the short-term bank loan of approximately $0.27 million drawn in Egypt during H1 2026 and on the credit facility, neither of which was outstanding for the full comparative period, together with higher lease accretion following the renewal of office leases.
B. Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash and cash equivalents raised from our operating cash flows in Egypt, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, which partially supported the day-to-day business and proceeds from the issuance and sale of securities.
Our total assets exceeded total liabilities by approximately $2.31 million as of June 30, 2026, compared to total assets exceeding total liabilities by approximately $0.71 million as of June 30, 2025. We incurred a loss of approximately $0.52 million for H1 2026, compared to a profit of approximately $0.44 million for H1 2025.
We have accumulated losses of approximately $339.1 million and $339.4 million as of June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents balance was $2.09 million and $4.88 million as of June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively.
On August 25, 2026, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investors for the issuance and sale of 8,990,317 Ordinary Shares at a purchase price of $1.446 per share in a private placement, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $13.0 million. On August 26, 2026, we entered into an additional securities purchase agreement for the issuance and sale of an additional 1,027,397 Ordinary Shares at a purchase price of $1.46 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.5 million, bringing total gross proceeds from the private placement transaction to approximately $14.5 million. In addition, while one investor had agreed to purchase 2,047,668 Ordinary Shares, we agreed that in lieu of purchasing Ordinary Shares, the investor would purchase pre-funded warrants to purchase 2,047,668 Ordinary Shares. The pre-funded warrants have an exercise price of $0.001 per Ordinary Share and shall remain outstanding until the pre-funded warrants are exercised in full. In connection with the offering, each of the investors also entered into a lock-up agreement pursuant to which they agreed not to transfer the securities purchased in the offering for a period of 180 days from the closing date. We intend to use the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes, including the expansion of our operations in the GCC, the United Kingdom and the United States.
On November 25, 2024, we obtained a sustainable credit facility with HSBC Bank in the amount of up to $0.6 million (subject to certain milestone conditions) aimed at financing our expansion and pipeline of contracts. This sustainable credit facility enables us to factor invoices with certain customers at our discretion, and we believe this allows us to have better management over the timing of our cash flows. As of June 30, 2026, we had $0.1 million drawn down from this credit facility (versus approximately $0.01 million in H1 2025). In September 2026, we announced that HSBC increased the limit on the working capital facility by 110%, to $1.4 million.
On November 17, 2024, we entered into a definitive securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) for a private placement financing with certain investors, including certain members of our Board of Directors to purchase $4.7 million of our Ordinary Shares. Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the investors agreed to purchase 981,211 of our Ordinary Shares, or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof, at a purchase price of $4.79 per share. The investors in the offering also agreed to execute lock up and leak out agreements, pursuant to which they agreed to lock up the securities purchased in the offering for a period of six months, as well as agreed to transfer up to twenty percent of the securities purchased for each ninety-day period thereafter in an amount not more than twenty percent of the trading volume on a proposed date of sale.
Subsequently, on February 10, 2025, the investors exercised their right to purchase additional securities pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and purchased additional 417,537 of our Ordinary Shares at a purchase price of $4.79 per share. Such offering resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of $2.0 million. The investors also agreed to execute lock up and leak out agreements, pursuant to which they agreed to lock up the securities purchase in the offering for a period of six months, as well as agreed to transfer up to twenty percent of the securities purchase for each ninety-day period thereafter in an amount not more than twenty percent of the trading volume on a proposed date of sale.
Our cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash held with banks or other financial institutions, which is not restricted as to withdrawal and use. Our cash and cash equivalents are primarily denominated in USD as well as in local currencies of the markets in which we operate.
We believe that our current available cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements and capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this Report. We intend to finance our future working capital requirements and capital expenditures from cash generated from operating activities, and funds raised from financing activities.
Our future capital requirements depend on many factors including our growth rate, the continuing market acceptance of our offerings, the timing and extent of spending to support our efforts to develop our platform, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, and the expansion of our business into new geographies and markets. To enhance our liquidity position or increase our cash reserve for future investments or operations through additional financing activities, we may in the future seek equity or debt financing. The issuance and sale of additional equity would result in further dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict our operations.
We have an effective Form F-3 registration statement (File No. 333-279918), filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with the SEC using a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may, from time to time, sell in one or more offerings up to the total amount of $100,000,000 of our Ordinary Shares, warrants or units comprising a combination of Ordinary Shares and warrants. As of the date of thereof, we have not sold any Ordinary Shares under the registration statement on Form F-3.

Operating Activities
During H1 2026, net cash used in operating activities was approximately $2.02 million, primarily consisting of loss before tax of approximately $0.52 million, adjusted for non-cash items of approximately $0.38 million. These adjustments mainly reflected the charge for provision for expected credit losses of approximately $0.24 million, depreciation of property and equipment and right-of-use assets and amortization of intangible assets totaling approximately $0.20 million, share-based payment charges and other non-cash items of approximately $0.08 million and the provision for employees’ end of service benefits of approximately $0.03 million, partially offset by the non-cash gain on the change in fair value of financial liabilities of approximately $0.18 million. Net impact from changes in working capital decreased operating cash flows by approximately $1.88 million, primarily driven by an increase in trade and other receivables of approximately $1.51 million, reflecting the growth in revenue and the timing of collections from enterprise customers, principally in the UAE, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of approximately $0.28 million, mainly withholding tax receivables, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable, accruals and other payables of approximately $0.04 million and an increase in current tax liabilities of approximately $0.32 million.
During H1 2025, net cash used in operating activities was approximately $0.25 million, primarily consisting of profit before tax of approximately $0.44 million, adjusted for non-cash items of approximately $1.26 million. These adjustments mainly reflected depreciation of right-of-use assets and intangible assets, provision for employees’ end of service benefits, and a change in fair value of financial liabilities, partially offset by other non-cash income. Net impact from changes in working capital decreased operating cash flows by approximately $1.51 million, primarily driven by an increase in trade and other receivables of approximately $1.86 million and an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of approximately $0.01 million, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable, accruals and other payables of approximately $0.13 million and an increase in current tax liabilities of approximately $0.23 million.
Investing Activities
During H1 2026, net cash used in investing activities was approximately $0.29 million, primarily consisting of capitalized development expenditure on our technology platform of approximately $0.27 million, recognized as intangible assets under construction, and the purchase of property and equipment of approximately $0.01 million.
During H1 2025, we had minimal cash flows used in investing activities.
Financing Activities
During H1 2026, net cash used in financing activities was approximately $0.02 million, primarily consisting of payments of finance lease liabilities, net of accretion, of approximately $0.29 million, partially offset by proceeds from a short-term bank loan drawn in Egypt of approximately $0.27 million.
During H1 2025, we had a $2.0 million inflow from our private placement offering as explained in this Report under Item B. “Liquidity and Capital Resources”, which was offset by a $0.24 million outflow pertaining to paying our finance lease liabilities, net of accretion.
Holding Company Structure and Dividends
Swvl Holdings Corp is a holding company without substantive business operations. Swvl Holdings Corp conducts its operations primarily through its subsidiaries in the jurisdictions in which it operates. As a result, our ability to pay dividends depends upon dividends paid by our subsidiaries. If our subsidiaries or any newly formed subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing their debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us.
In addition, as determined in accordance with local regulations, our subsidiaries in certain jurisdictions may be restricted from paying us dividends offshore or from transferring a portion of their assets to us, either in the form of dividends, loans or advances, unless certain requirements are met, and regulatory approvals are obtained. Even though we currently do not require any such dividends, loans, or advances from our entities for working capital and other funding purposes, we may in the future require additional cash resources from them due to changes in our business conditions, to fund future acquisitions and development, or merely to declare and pay dividends or distributions to our shareholders.
Capital Expenditures
During H1 2026, we incurred capital expenditure of approximately $0.29 million, consisting of approximately $0.27 million of capitalized development costs relating to our technology platform (recognized as intangible assets under construction) and approximately $0.01 million for the purchase of property and equipment, primarily information technology equipment and office furniture in Egypt.
During H1 2025 we did not incur any capital expenditure other than the purchase of information technology equipment.
Our historical capital expenditures are primarily related to additions and purchases of property and equipment, which included the purchase of fixtures and furniture, leasehold improvements and employee laptops. While we are an asset-light business, we expect to moderately increase our capital expenditures to meet the expected growth in scale of our business and as we expand geographically and bolster our existing offerings.
Indebtedness
The Group does not currently have any long-term loans or convertible debts outstanding.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2026, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses
We have made, and will continue to make, significant investments in research, development and technology in an effort to improve our platform, to attract and retain drivers and riders, expand the capabilities and scope of our offerings, and enhance our customer experience. We review and target our research and development activities on an ongoing basis based on the needs of our business. For further details regarding our research and development costs, please refer to “Item 4.B. Business Overview” in our Annual Report.
D. Trend Information
For a discussion of the trends that affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, please see other portions entitled “Item 5.A. Operating Results” and “Item 3.D. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report.
E. Critical Accounting Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue
We recognize revenue in accordance with IFRS 15, which we adopted as of January 1, 2019. The Company derives its revenue principally from end-users who use the Swvl platform to access routes predetermined by the Company. Revenue for transport represents the gross amount of fares charged to the end-user for these services. The sole performance obligation of the Company is to provide transportation services to the end-users by integrating the use of the Swvl platform and a network of captains and vehicles registered on the platform. The end-users are charged for using transportation services (i.e. fare charges, net of the discounts and incentives) and are given various incentives (as discussed below). The Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligation towards the end-users has been satisfied (i.e. when the ride is completed). It is at that point in time that the end-user becomes liable to transfer the due consideration to the Company.
We evaluate the presentation of revenue on a gross versus net basis based on whether we control the service provided to the end-user and are the principal in the transaction (gross), or whether we arrange for other parties (operators and individual captains) to provide the service to the end-user and are the agent in the transaction (net). The Company considers itself a principal for the transportation services because it controls the services provided to riders.
End-user discounts and promotions
We offer discounts and promotions to end-users to encourage the use of our transportation services. These discounts and promotions are offered in various forms and include:
| ● | Targeted end user discounts and promotions. These discounts and promotions are offered to specific end-users in a market with a goal to acquire, re-engage or increase the end-users’ use of the platform. Because the end-user does not provide the Company with a distinct goods or services against these promotions and discounts, the Company deducts the amount of these promotions and discounts from the transaction price when recognizing revenue. |
| ● | Free credits. We provide end-users booking intercity routes using Swvl’s Travel platform with free credits to encourage bookings of a two-way trip between origin and destination cities. Under Swvl’s free credit program, a credit is transferred to an end-user’s wallet on the Swvl application after the completion of the first trip which the end-user can then consume while paying for the return trip. Because we provide the discount that is to be used in the future by the end-user, the free credit is recognized as a liability until it is redeemed by the end-user or the validity period of such credit lapses. However, this liability is not recognized when it is immaterial. |
| ● | End-user referrals. End-user referrals are earned when an existing end-user (the “Referring end-User”) refers a new end-user (the “Referred End-User”) to the Swvl platform and the Referred End-User books their first ride on the platform. These referrals are typically paid in the form of a credit given to the Referring End-User. The Referring End-User is deemed to provide growth and marketing services to the Company as it provides a distinct good or service against the end-user referral discounts. As a result of this, the end-user referrals are recognized as sales and marketing costs. |
| ● | Market-wide promotions. Market-wide promotions reduce the end-user fare charged for all or substantially all rides in a specific market in the form of discounts. As a result, we recognize the cost of these promotions as a reduction of revenue when the ride is completed. |
Deferred tax
As we are incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, our profits from operations are not subject to taxation. However, certain subsidiaries of ours are based in taxable jurisdictions such as Egypt, where they are liable for tax.
We record deferred tax to provide for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax assets have been recognized by a certain subsidiary of the us on their trading losses where utilization is probable, given that there are probable future taxable profits to offset against these losses. We continuously review the recoverability of the deferred tax asset for any significant changes to these assumptions.
Share-based payments
Our employees (including senior executives) received remuneration in the form of share-based payments starting in May 2017, whereby employees have rendered services as consideration for equity instruments (i.e., equity-settled transactions).
We have issued share-based payment awards, for which the “grant date” was not achieved, due to the absence of a formal approval of the terms and conditions of the grant that reflected the intent of this long-term incentive scheme. The award’s terms, however, included a condition that the employees would be eligible to exercise their vested options only on an exit event occurrence. If an employee leaves the Company before the exit event, the employee could exercise options on a pro-rata basis (based on the length of time that the employee has served since the award was granted). Therefore, the cost of awards is recognized in advance of the grant date, over the period in which services are rendered by the employees, by estimating the fair value of the equity instruments at the end of each reporting period despite the Company’s awards being classified as equity-settled. The grant date was achieved subsequently in July 2021, when the formal terms and conditions were finalized by our Board, which will be communicated and clarified with the employees as part of the exit event. The cost is recognized in employee benefits expense, together with a corresponding increase in equity (other capital reserves). The cumulative expense recognized reflects our best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.
Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of our best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached to an award, but without an associated service requirement, are considered to be non-vesting conditions. Non-vesting conditions are reflected in the fair value of an award. The probability of an exit event occurring is a non-vesting condition and is included in the fair value of the awards, whose charge is amortized over the period in which services are rendered by the employees.
Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed and set forth under Item 3.D. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results.

| Disclaimer This presentation may contain “forward-looking statements” which include, but are not limited to, statements regarding future events and other statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. For example, Swvl Holdings Corp (“Swvl”) is using forward-looking statements when it discusses the benefits and uses of its products and platform; its product and market growth potential; that by prioritizing recurring revenue, it aims to set a foundation for predictable and profitable growth while reducing the impact of market seasonality; and that it continues to aim at expanding its dollar-pegged revenue to reduce its exposure to volatility in foreign currencies. These statements are based on the current expectations of Swvl’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements must not be relied on by any investor as a guarantee, assurance, prediction, or definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual results and outcomes could differ materially for a variety of reasons, including, among others, general economic, political and business conditions; the ability of Swvl to execute its growth strategy, manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; competition with other companies in the mobility industry; Swvl’s limited operating history and lack of experience as a public company; recent implementation of certain policies and procedures to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including with respect to anti-bribery, anti-corruption, and cyber protection; the risk that Swvl is not able to execute its portfolio optimization plan; the risk that Swvl is unable to attract and retain consumers and qualified drivers and other high quality personnel; the risk that Swvl is unable to protect and enforce its intellectual property rights; the risk that Swvl is unable to determine rider demand to develop new offerings on its platform; the difficulty of obtaining required registrations, licenses, permits or approvals in jurisdictions in which Swvl currently operates or may in the future operate; the fact that Swvl currently operates in and intends to expand into jurisdictions that are, or have been, characterized by political instability, may have inadequate or limited regulatory and legal frameworks and may have limited, if any, treaties or other arrangements in place to protect foreign investment or involvement; the risk that Swvl’s drivers could be classified as employees, workers or quasi-employees in the jurisdictions they operate; the fact that Swvl has operations in countries known to experience high levels of corruption and is subject to territorial anti-corruption laws in these jurisdictions; the ability of Swvl to maintain the listing of its securities on Nasdaq; Swvl’s acquisitions may not be beneficial to Swvl as a result of the cost of integrating geographically disparate operations and the diversion of management’s attention from its existing business, among other things; and other risks that will be detailed from time to time in filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The foregoing list of risk factors is not exhaustive. There may be additional risks that Swvl presently does not know or that Swvl currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements provide Swvl’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this communication. Swvl anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause Swvl’s assessments and projections to change. However, while Swvl may elect to update these forward-looking statements in the future, Swvl specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Swvl’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this presentation.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, October 8, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Swvl Holdings Corp (“Swvl” or the “Company”, and together with the Company’s subsidiaries, the “Group”) (NASDAQ: SWVL), a leading provider of technology-enabled mass mobility solutions for enterprises and governments, today announced its financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 (“H1 2026”).
Swvl sustained its growth trajectory through the first half of the year, growing H1 2026 revenue by 59% to $16.2 million compared to $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 (“H1 2025”). Growth was led by the Gulf Cooperation Council (“GCC”), where revenue increased by 107% in H1 2026 over H1 2025, and continued expansion in Egypt. The Group’s revenue base continues to shift increasingly towards being recurring and dollar-pegged.
Operating leverage continued to build. While operating expenses increased in H1 2026 from H1 2025, operating expenses declined to 25% of revenue in H1 2026 from 29% in H1 2025, and the operating margin improved to (3.5%) in H1 2026 from (4.1%) in H1 2025, even as the Company absorbed start-up costs in new markets, and higher sales and marketing investment. Consolidated net dollar retention of 123% reflected continued expansion within the Company’s existing customer base.

Revenue Performance
Revenue increased 59% to $16.2 million in H1 2026 from $10.2 million in H1 2025, with growth contributed by both of the Company’s core markets. The GCC was the primary driver, more than doubling year-over-year, while Egypt grew 35%. In addition, second-quarter 2026 revenue was $8.0 million as compared to $5.28 million in the second quarter 2025, up 51% year-over-year.
Recurring revenue grew 64% from $8.68 million in H1 2025 to $14.2 million in H1 2026, and represented 88% of total revenue, in comparison to 85% in H1 2025. Transactional revenue was $2.0 million, or 12% of total revenue in H1 2026, in comparison to
$1.5 million, or 15% of total revenue in H1 2025. The Company’s enterprise-first strategy continues to drive longer-duration contracts, higher average revenue per account, and more predictable revenue streams.
Revenue Quality Metrics
Recurring Revenue: recurring revenue represented 88% of total revenue in H1 2026, in comparison to 85% in H1 2025. Long-term enterprise contracts continued to provide predictable cash flows and reduce the impact of seasonality.
Dollar-Pegged Revenue: dollar-pegged revenue grew 107% to $7.1 million and represented 44% of total revenue, in comparison to 34% in H1 2025. Continued expansion in the GCC and the launch of the United States and United Kingdom are expected to continue shifting the revenue base toward hard-currency earnings and reducing foreign currency exchange exposure.
Net Dollar Retention (“NDR”): consolidated NDR was 123%, indicating that existing customers expanded their spend with Swvl year-over-year. We view this metric as reflecting strong product-market fit and the Company’s ability to grow within its installed customer base without incremental acquisition costs.
Operating Expense Discipline
Operating Expenses (G&A and S&M combined) were $4.1 million in H1 2026, compared to $2.9 million in H1 2025, an increase of 39% against revenue growth of 59%. As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses decreased from 29% to 25%, underscoring the operating leverage in Swvl’s business model as it scales.
General and Administrative Expenses increased by 29% to $3.7 million, compared to $2.9 million in H1 2025, however, G&A has decreased as a percentage of revenue from 28.6% in H1 2025, to 25% in H1 2026. The increase in expense is driven primarily by staff costs of $2.5 million in H1 2026 as compared to $1.5 million in H1 2025, as the Company started to build out teams for its expansion and product plans. This was partly offset by a 59% reduction in professional fees from $0.66 million in H1 2025 to $0.27 million in H1 2026.
Selling and Marketing Expenses were $0.31 million in H1 2026, compared to $0.01 million in H1 2025, as the Company invested in its commercial team to support GCC and new-market expansion.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Cash and cash equivalents were $2.1 million at June 30, 2026, compared to $4.4 million at December 31, 2025. Net cash used in operating activities was $2.0 million, driven principally by a $1.9 million increase in trade and other receivables as revenue scaled, with the UAE accounting for the majority of the increase.
Subsequent to period end, on August 25 and 26, 2026, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements for the issuance and sale of an aggregate of 10,017,714 Class A Ordinary Shares in private placement transactions for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $14.5 million, materially strengthening the Company’s liquidity position.
Mostafa Kandil, Chief Executive Officer of Swvl, commented:
“H1 2026 delivered 59% revenue growth, with the GCC revenue more than doubling and our revenue base now 88% recurring and 44% dollar-pegged. With the $14.5 million private placements signed in August 2026, we believe that we have the capital to scale across the GCC, the United Kingdom and the United States while continuing to drive toward sustained operating profitability.”
Ahmed Misbah, Chief Financial Officer of Swvl, added:
“Revenue grew 59% while operating expenses grew 39%, taking operating expenses down to 25% of revenue from 29% and improving operating margin despite absorbing new-market and ramp-up costs. Net dollar retention of 123% and recurring revenue of 88% give us a predictable base to build on.”
Financial Summary:
For H1 2026, Swvl reported revenue of $16.2 million (up 59% from $10.2 million in H1 2025), gross profit of $2.9 million (up 35%), and an operating loss of $0.6 million (vs $0.4 million). Operating expenses were $4.1 million, equal to 25% of revenue, down from 29%. GCC revenue grew 107% to $7.1 million, while Egypt revenue grew 35% to $9.1 million.

For example, Swvl is using forward-looking statements when it discusses that the Group’s revenue base continues to shift increasingly towards being recurring and dollar-pegged, that it views the NDR metric as reflecting strong product-market fit and its ability to grow within its installed customer base without incremental acquisition costs, that its operating expenses as a percentage of revenue underscores the operating leverage in its business model as it scales, its belief that it has the capital to scale across the GCC, the United Kingdom and the United States while continuing to drive toward sustained operating profitability. These statements are based on the current expectations of Swvl’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability.

Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon any forward-looking statements.
