SINGAPORE & MENLO PARK, Calif.- (BUSINESS WIRE)- Grab Holdings Inc., Southeast Asia’s leading superapp, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The company posted record Gross Merchandise Value and Adjusted Net Sales of $3.9 billion and $550 million respectively. Total revenue was $180 million, up 132% year-over- year (“YoY”). Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2021 was $(214) million and Net Loss was $(815) million. Grab’s planned business combination with Altimeter Growth Corp. (Nasdaq: AGC), a special purpose acquisition company, continues to progress and is expected to close in the fourth quarter.

“We had a strong quarter with double, and in some cases, triple-digit growth year-over-year across all of our core verticals. This was in spite of a worsening COVID-19 environment, which saw many Southeast Asian countries tightening movement restrictions as cases surged,” said Anthony Tan, Group CEO and Co-founder of Grab. “Our growth is testament to the resilience of our superapp business model and the significant market opportunity in the region. As the platform becomes more relevant to everyday life in Southeast Asia, we’ve seen user spend grow by 27% year over year. At the same time, we’re creating more opportunities for merchants - our GrabFood merchant base has more than doubled, while merchants using GrabPay nearly tripled.”

Peter Oey, Chief Financial Officer of Grab, commented, “We achieved a record quarter in terms of Gross Merchandise Value and Adjusted Net Sales, and continue to experience strong traction in our newer services like GrabMart and PayLater. While the COVID-19 situation on the ground is challenging, our business continues to be resilient, and we are increasing our investments in our superapp ecosystem in anticipation of the market recovery as vaccination rates improve. Our deliveries business continues to outperform and is growing rapidly, with the addition of new offerings such as GrabMart and GrabSupermarket, and we expect to continue investing heavily in this segment.”
