- Revenue grew 17% year-over-year ("YoY") to $716 million in the third quarter of 2024, or 20% on a constant currency basis3, driven by revenue growth across all segments.
- On-Demand GMV grew 15% YoY, or 18% YoY on a constant currency basis, underpinned by 19% YoY growth in On-Demand MTUs and 22% increase in On-Demand transactions.
- Total incentives were $462 million in the third quarter of 2024, while On-Demand incentives as a proportion of On-Demand GMV declined on a quarter-over-quarter ("QoQ") basis to 9.8% versus 10.1% in the second quarter of 2024 as we optimized incentive spend that was used to support product launches.
- Operating loss in the third quarter was $38 million, representing an improvement of $55 million YoY, primarily attributable to increases in revenue.
- Profit for the quarter was $15 million, an improvement of $114 million YoY, primarily due to improvements in Group Adjusted EBITDA, an increase in net finance income, and lower share-based compensation expenses. This was partially offset by an increase in other expenses and income tax expenses. Share-based compensation expenses for the quarter were $53 million.
- Group Adjusted EBITDA was $90 million for the quarter, an improvement of $62 million YoY compared to $28 million in the prior year period, attributed to On-Demand GMV and revenue growth, improving profitability on a Segment Adjusted EBITDA basis, and lower regional corporate costs4.
- Regional corporate costs4 for the quarter were $88 million, compared to $97 million in the same period in 2023. We remain focused on driving cost efficiencies across our organization, with staff costs within regional corporate costs declining 14% YoY.
- Cash liquidity5 totaled $6.1 billion at the end of the third quarter, compared to $5.6 billion at the end of the prior quarter, with a substantial portion of the cash inflow attributed to the growth in deposits from customers in the banking business, which increased to over $1 billion from $730 million from the prior quarter. Our net cash liquidity6 was $5.8 billion at the end of the third quarter, compared to $5.3 billion at the end of the prior quarter.
- During the third quarter, pursuant to our $500 million share repurchase program, we repurchased an additional 17.7 million shares with an aggregate principal amount of $58.2 million. Cumulatively, we have repurchased and retired 57 million shares with the aggregate principal amount of $189 million as of 30 September 2024.
- Net cash from operating activities was $338 million in the third quarter of 2024, an improvement of $17 million YoY, mainly driven by an increase in deposits from customers in the banking business and an improvement in profit before income tax. Adjusted Free Cash Flow was positive at $138 million in the third quarter of 2024, improving by $144 million YoY. On a trailing 12-month basis, Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $76 million, improving by $348 million YoY.

- Deliveries revenue grew 13% YoY, or 16% YoY on a constant currency basis, to $380 million in the third quarter from $335 million in the prior year period, amid strong GMV growth.
- Deliveries GMV grew 12% YoY, or 16% YoY on a constant currency basis, to $2,965 million in the third quarter of 2024. This represents a growth reacceleration compared to the second quarter, driven by increases in transaction volumes and Deliveries MTUs.
- Deliveries segment adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of GMV was 1.8% in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 1.3% in the third quarter of 2023, primarily driven by improved monetization of our Food business and increased contributions from Advertising. Notably, Advertising revenue as a proportion of Deliveries GMV increased to 1.6% in the third quarter from 1.1% in the prior year period.
- Saver Deliveries, which has seen adoption increasing to 32% of Deliveries transactions7 in the third quarter from 14% in the prior year period, continues to drive greater cost efficiencies. During the quarter, 6 in 10 Saver Deliveries transactions were batched.
- Saver Deliveries also continues to be an important strategic initiative to increase user engagement. Saver Deliveries users saw average transaction frequency increase 12% in the 6 months post-Saver adoption, relative to their 6-month average transaction frequency prior to Saver adoption.

- Mobility revenues continued to grow strongly, rising 17% YoY or 20% YoY on a constant currency basis in the third quarter of 2024, driven by GMV growth.
- Mobility GMV increased 20% YoY, or 24% YoY on a constant currency basis, to $1,694 million during the quarter. The strong growth was driven by Mobility MTUs which grew 23% YoY and average Mobility transactions per MTU which increased 7% YoY.
- Mobility segment adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Mobility GMV was 8.8% in the third quarter of 2024, expanding by 62 basis points QoQ. The sequential improvement was driven by increased contributions from our High Value Mobility rides8, where GMV from High Value Mobility rides increased 30% YoY.
- During the quarter, total monthly active driver supply grew 13% YoY to largely recover to pre-COVID levels, while quarterly driver-partner retention rates remained stable at 90%. Our continued efforts to improve driver supply resulted in the proportion of surged9 Mobility rides being reduced by 12 percentage points YoY.

- Revenue for Financial Services grew 34% YoY, or 38% YoY on a constant currency basis, to $64 million in the third quarter of 2024. The YoY growth was driven by increased contributions from GrabFin's lending business, new contributions from our digital bank, and optimization of payment incentives.
- Segment adjusted EBITDA for the quarter improved by 27% YoY to negative $26 million, attributed to growth and monetization of our lending products that drove higher revenues and margins, along with reductions in overhead expenses.
- We continued to focus on lending to our ecosystem partners through GrabFin and our digital bank, with total loans disbursed growing by 38% YoY and 13% QoQ to $567 million during the quarter. Our total loan portfolio outstanding at the end of the third quarter grew 81% YoY to $498 million from $275 million in the prior year period.
- Customer deposits in our digital bank business tripled to reach $1.1 billion as of the end of the third quarter from $362 million as of the end of the same period last year, and grew 50% QoQ from $730 million as of the end of the prior quarter. The strong growth was mainly driven by an increased number of deposit customers across our digital banks, and the launch of Boost Pocket in GXS Bank, a term deposit product that boosts the interest rate that customers can earn on their savings.

Accordingly, investors should monitor such 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 website does not constitute a part of this document and is not 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 nine months ended September 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 MoveIt), 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.
