    GRAB CEO’s Remarks

    The company’s CEO and co-founder, Anthony Tan, remarked that despite the more difficult circumstances brought on by the Delta and Omicron variants, 2021 was the company’s most incredible year ever. Growth in both GMV and Revenues, as well as in Adjusted EBITDA margins, demonstrates the super app’s robustness and increasing significance.

    GRAB 2022 Outlook

    For each quarter from Q2 through Q4 of 2022, Grab Holdings estimates GMV growth of 30-35% YoY, depending on the COVID-19 situation. By the first half of 2023, Grab is on track to break even in its core food delivery Segment Adjusted EBITDA, and by the end of 2023, it is on its way to breaking even in its deliveries Segment. A steady-state Adjusted EBITDA margin of 12% in transportation and 3 % in deliveries are long-term goals for Grab.

    Conclusion

    The stock is down due to the decline in the quarterly revenues. It is caused by the company’s massive promotional offers and higher driver incentives investments in the largest ride-hailing and food delivery business.
