Grab cuts losses by 65% YoY to $342m in Q3

Its loss for Q3 included a $90 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

Grab slashed by more than half its loss in the third quarter, its latest financial statement showed.

In Q322, Grab reported a loss of $342m, which is 65% lower than the $988m loss it recorded in Q321.

Its loss for Q322 included a $42 million non-cash expense
from fair value changes on investments, and $90 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

In a bourse filing, the super app attributed the decline in its loss to the elimination of the non-cash interest expense of its convertible redeemable preference shares that converted to ordinary shares in December 2021.

Grab’s revenue likewise improved during the quarter, rising 143% YoY to $382m. Its revenue was driven by the strong growth in its Mobility and Deliveries revenue which grew 101% and 250%, respectively.

“In the quarters ahead, we will continue to focus on cash preservation and cost optimisation as we execute our plans to grow sustainably and drive towards our expectations of 45% - 55% YoY revenue growth in 2023 on a constant currency basis,” said Peter Oey, CFO of Grab.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
