Revenue grew 46% quarter-over-quarter to $6.5 million
Gross margin increased by 28.3% quarter-over-quarter to $1.4 million

DUBAI, UAE — October 28, 2025 — Swvl Holdings Corp (Nasdaq: SWVL), a global provider of tech-enabled mobility solutions, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.
Swvl achieved positive financial performance in Q3 2025, with revenue increasing 46% quarter-over-quarter from $4.4 million to $6.5 million, supported by growth across core markets and sustained margin improvement. Gross margin rose by 28.3% from $1.09 million to $1.4 million, reflecting accelerated growth, an improved mix of dollar-pegged revenue and expanding contract-based operations.
Regional Performance
GCC (United Arab Emirates and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia)
Revenue increased by 81% quarter-over-quarter from $0.94 million to $1.7 million, while gross margin increased by 133% from $0.22 million to $0.5 million. This growth reflects Swvl’s successful execution across Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) markets, which serve as a core hub for the Company’s planned growth and profitability, potentially paving the way for further expansion across the region.
Egypt
Revenue rose 36.4% quarter over quarter from $3.49 million to $4.76 million, driven by expanding enterprise demand across key sectors. While margin percentage increased modestly at 2.5% from Q3 2024 to Q3 2025, the quarter focused on scaling the revenue base ahead of anticipated margin improvement in subsequent quarters.
Our strategy highlights
Swvl continues to execute on its strategic pillars of accelerating growth, margin expansion, recurring revenue growth, and increased exposure of revenue in dollar-pegged markets.
Accelerating Growth: Swvl continues to reinvest in its product and commercial organizations, driving an acceleration in revenue growth, which started at 12.4% in Q1 2025, and is now at 46% in Q3 2025 .
Recurring Revenue Growth: Enterprise contracts now account for nearly four-fifths of revenue, enhancing predictability and reducing the impact of seasonality.
Dollar-Pegged Expansion: The Company is growing its USD-linked operations while also preparing for entry into the U.S. and the remaining GCC countries to build a more sustainable foreign-currency resilient base.
Mostafa Kandil, Chief Executive Officer of Swvl, commented:
“Our Q3 2025 results underscore that Swvl’s growth engine is firing across core markets. We remain focused on scaling our high-margin enterprise verticals and expanding our revenue base in existing and new markets while maintaining profitability and strong unit economics.”
Ahmed Misbah, Chief Financial Officer of Swvl, commented:
“We believe that this quarter demonstrates Swvl’s continued ability to scale profitably while maintaining strong economics. Our progress toward a more stable, recurring, and dollar-pegged revenue base reflects the strength of our model and the resilience of our operations across the region.”
