Arizona Tribune - Ryde Reports 31% Revenue Growth and Improved Adjusted EBITDA in First Half of 2025

Key Financial Highlights for First Half 2025:

• Revenue: The Company reported revenue of S$5.7 million (US$4.5 million), up from S$4.4 million (US$3.2 million) in 1H 2024. Revenue growth during the period was primarily driven by expansion across both supply and demand, supported by stronger rider and driver engagement as well as improved platform efficiency.

• Adjusted EBITDA: The Company saw its adjusted EBITDA improve by 14%, the adjusted EBITDA deficit narrowed to S$2.9 million (US$2.3 million) in 1H2025. This improvement reflects Ryde's ongoing efforts to optimise operational efficiency, achieved through strategic adjustments in driver-partner incentives and rider-related costs. These measures have contributed to a more sustainable cost structure, setting the company on a path towards profitability while continuing to create value for both driver-partners and riders.

• Partnership with Tencent Cloud: In June 2025, Ryde announced a tie-up with Tencent Cloud to support in-app communication between rider and drivers, as well as to explore WeChat Mini Program integration across SEA.

"The first half of 2025 was a period of strong progress and disciplined execution for Ryde," said Terence Zou , Ryde's Founder and Chief Executive Officer. "We delivered revenue growth of 31% year-on-year to S$5.7 million and improved our adjusted EBITDA deficit by 14% , reflecting the success of our ongoing efforts to optimize operational efficiency and enhance platform engagement. Our zero-commission model and rider-first approach continue to strengthen our ecosystem, while strategic initiatives such as our Electric Vehicle partnership with Atoll and technology collaboration with Tencent Cloud lay the groundwork for long-term growth."

Non-US GAAP Financial Measures

This document includes references to non-US GAAP financial measures. Ryde uses these non-US GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons, and Ryde'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. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of non-US GAAP financial measures, and as such, the presentation of these non-US GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, financial measures determined in accordance with US GAAP. In addition, these non-US GAAP financial measures may differ from non-US GAAP financial measures with comparable names used by other companies. See below for additional explanations about the non-US GAAP financial measures, including their definitions and a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable US GAAP financial measures.

Explanation of non-IFRS financial measures:

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-US GAAP financial measure calculated as net loss adjusted to exclude: (a) finance cost, (b) income tax expenses, (c) depreciation and amortization, (d) share-based compensation, and (e) impairment loss on goodwill.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a financial measure, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and is not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with US GAAP. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable US GAAP measure see the section titled " Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures ".

Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

To supplement our financial information, we use the following non-US GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA. However, the definitions of our non-US GAAP financial measures may be different from those used by other companies, and therefore, may not be comparable. Furthermore, these non-US GAAP financial measures have certain limitations in that they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our consolidated financial statements that are necessary to run our business. Thus, these non-US GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for, or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with US GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by providing a reconciliation of these non-US GAAP financial measures to the related US GAAP financial measures. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure and to view these non-IFRS financial measures in conjunction with their respective related US GAAP financial measures.

The following tables provide reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA.
