“We believe that Swvl’s performance in H1 2025 reflects a successful strategy to align growth with resilience. While we achieved 26% revenue growth (49% in constant currency) and grew our total gross margin by 26%, we are still prioritizing recurring, contract-based revenues and scaled dollar-pegged markets aimed at building quality earnings. Our growth is anchored in long-term enterprise contracts that compound over multiple years, with net dollar retention well above 100% signaling that existing clients are expanding their spend with Swvl. We believe that this foundation delivers predictable and higher quality earnings and positions Swvl to continue driving scalable results in the future.�

“Our H1 2025 results demonstrate Swvl’s ability to combine growth with profitability, underpinning our disciplined cost management, we improved working capital efficiency and secured strong revenue and gross margin expansions across all operating markets. Recurring revenue reached 85% of total revenues, while the share of dollar-pegged revenue grew by 90%, which we believe highly strengthens our quality of earnings. With this foundation, we expect Swvl to be well positioned to drive both sustainable profitability and long-term growth.�
