Swvl Holdings Corp.

INTRODUCTION

In this Annual Report on Form 20-F (this “Annual Report”), “we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” and “Swvl” refer to Swvl Holdings Corp.

On March 31, 2022, Swvl Holdings Corp, formerly known as Pivotal Holdings Corp, a British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) business company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the BVI, consummated the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated as of July 28, 2021, as amended, by and among Holdings, Queen’s Gambit Growth Capital, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (“SPAC”), Swvl Inc., a BVI business company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the BVI (“Swvl”), Pivotal Merger Sub Company I, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability and wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings (“Cayman Merger Sub”) and Pivotal Merger Sub Company II Limited, a BVI business company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the BVI and wholly owned subsidiary of SPAC (“BVI Merger Sub”), pursuant to which we became a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings.

We are a technology-driven disruptive mobility company that aims to provide reliable, safe, cost-effective and environmentally responsible mass transit solutions. Our mission is to identify and solve inefficiencies associated with low-quality or sometimes non-existent public transportation infrastructure in urban areas that are in critical need of such services. Our technology and services provide commuters, travelers and businesses with a valuable alternative to traditional public transportation, taxi companies or other ridesharing companies. Through our platform, we provide thousands of riders per day with a dynamically-routing and a self-optimizing network of minibuses and other vehicles, helping people get to where they need to go.

On April 1, 2022, our ordinary shares (“Ordinary Shares”) and public warrants (“Warrants”) (together, our “Securities”) began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “SWVL” and “SWVLW”, respectively. In July 2023, we received approval from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) of our request to transfer the listing of our Ordinary Shares and Warrants to the Nasdaq Capital Market from the Nasdaq Global Market, and effective July 19, 2023, the Ordinary Shares and Warrants are traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

On January 25, 2023, we implemented a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of our Ordinary Shares, pursuant to which holders of our Ordinary Shares received one Ordinary Share for every twenty-five Ordinary Shares as of such date. Unless the context expressly dictates otherwise, all references to share and per share amounts referred to in this Annual Report give effect to the reverse stock split.

Our reporting currency and functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, references in the Annual Report to “dollars”, “USD” or “$” mean U.S. dollars, and references to EGP, AED and SAR are to Egyptian pounds, United Arab Emirates Dirham and Saudi Riyals, respectively.

We report our financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”).

Our results could materially differ from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, as a result of certain factors including the risks described below and elsewhere in this Annual Report and our other filings made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above.

| ● | We are an “emerging growth company”, and any decision on our part to comply only with certain reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies could make our Securities less attractive to investors.

Risks Related to Our Business, Industry, Operations and Financial Condition

Our limited operating history and evolving business make it particularly difficult to evaluate our prospects and the risks and challenges we may encounter.

While we have primarily focused on mass transit ridesharing services since we launched in 2017, our business continues to evolve. Beginning in 2020, we reevaluated and adjusted our pricing methodologies and expanded our business offerings to include transport as a service (“TaaS”) and afterwards, software as a service (“SaaS”). While it is difficult to evaluate the prospects and risks of any business, our relatively new and evolving business makes it particularly difficult to assess our prospects and the risks and challenges it may encounter. Risks and challenges we have faced or expect to face include our ability to:

| ● | forecast our revenue and budget for and manage expenses;

| ● | attract new qualified drivers and new riders to use our platform and have existing qualified drivers and riders continue to use our platform in a cost-effective manner;

| ● | comply with existing or developing and new or modified laws and regulations applicable to our business and the data we process, including in jurisdictions where such regulations may still be developing or changing rapidly;

| ● | plan for and manage expenditures for our current and future offerings, including expenses relating to our growth strategy;

| ● | deploy and ensure utilization of the vehicles operating on our platform;

| ● | anticipate and respond to macroeconomic changes and changes in the markets in which we operate;

| ● | maintain and enhance the value of our reputation and brand;

Table of Contents

| ● | effectively manage our growth and business operations;

| ● | successfully expand our geographic reach;

| ● | successfully expand our TaaS and SaaS business;

| ● | hire, integrate and retain talented personnel; and

| ● | successfully develop new platform features and offerings to enhance the experience of riders, drivers and corporate customers (as well as schools and municipalities).

If we fail to address the risks and difficulties that we face, including those associated with the challenges listed above as well as those described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected. Further, because we have limited historical financial data, operates in a rapidly evolving market and its growth strategy is premised on international expansion, including potentially in the United States (“U.S.”), any predictions about our future revenue and expenses may not be as accurate as they would be if we had a longer operating history or operated in a more predictable market. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties, which we use to plan and operate its business, are incorrect or change, or if it does not address these risks successfully, our operating results could differ materially from our expectations and our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

We operate in an evolving industry and, as a result, our past results may not be indicative of future operating performance.

We operate in a rapidly evolving industry that may not develop in a manner favorable to our business. Therefore, it may be difficult to assess our future performance. You should consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties we may encounter.

Our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to, inter alia:

| ● | compete effectively against existing and new competition entering the market;

| ● | anticipate and respond to macroeconomic changes and in the markets we operate in;

| ● | effectively manage our growth while sustaining expenditures;

| ● | attract and retain the right talent at all levels of our organization;

| ● | maintain the quality of our technology infrastructure; and

| ● | innovate and continue to develop products that are needed by the customers we serve.

We face competition and could lose market share to competitors, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. If we cannot successfully compete with new or existing technologies, products and services, our marketing and sales will suffer, and we may not be profitable.

We believe that our principal competition for ridership is public transportation services and private bus companies. Our business model is premised in part on promoting the safety, efficiency and convenience of its offerings to convert public transportation users into riders on our platform. While we have previously been successful in attracting and retaining new riders, public transportation is often available at a lower price and with a greater variety of routes than the rides we offer. In addition, public transportation operators in our markets may in the future make improvements or implement measures to enhance the safety, efficiency and convenience of their networks. If current and potential riders do not view the advantages of our platform as outweighing the difference in price, or if the successful introduction of such improvements or measures weakens the competitive advantages of our offerings, we may be unable to retain existing riders or attract new riders and its business, financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected.

​

Table of Contents

We also face competition from other traditional transportation companies in regard of their business-to-business (“B2B”) offerings in addition to other ridesharing companies and car hire and taxi companies. The ridesharing market in particular is intensely competitive and is characterized by rapid changes in technology, shifting rider needs and preferences and frequent introductions of new services and offerings. We expect competition to increase, both from existing competitors and new entrants in the markets in which we operate or plan to operate, and such competitors may be well-established and enjoy greater resources or other strategic advantages. If we are unable to anticipate or successfully react to these competitive challenges in a timely manner, our competitive position could weaken, or fail to improve, and we could experience a decline in revenue or growth stagnation that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Certain of our current and potential competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing, research and development and other resources, greater name recognition, longer operating histories or a larger global user base than we do. Such competitors may be able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of offerings and offer lower prices in certain markets than we do, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. These and other factors may allow our competitors to derive greater revenue and profits from their existing user bases, attract and retain qualified drivers and riders at lower costs or respond more quickly to new and emerging technologies and trends. Current and potential competitors may also establish cooperative or strategic relationships, or consolidate, amongst themselves or with third parties that may further enhance their resources and offerings.

We believe that our ability to compete effectively depends upon many factors both within and beyond our control, including:

| ● | the popularity, utility, ease of use, performance and reliability of our offerings;

| ● | our reputation, including the perceived safety of our platform, and brand strength;

| ● | our pricing models and the prices of our offerings;

| ● | our ability to attract and retain qualified drivers and riders to use our platform;

| ● | our ability to develop new offerings, including the expansion of our TaaS and SaaS business;

| ● | our ability to continue leveraging and enhancing our data analytics capabilities;

| ● | our ability to establish and maintain relationships with strategic partners and third-party service providers;

| ● | our ability to deploy and ensure utilization of the vehicles operating on our platform;

| ● | changes mandated by, or that we elect to make to address, legislation, regulatory authorities or litigation, including settlements, judgments, injunctions and consent decrees;

| ● | our ability to attract, retain and motivate talented employees;

| ● | our ability to raise additional capital as needed; and

| ● | acquisitions or consolidation within our industry.

If we are unable to compete successfully, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

We may be unable to keep pace with changes in technology as our business and market strategy evolves.

We will need to respond to technological advances in a cost-effective and timely manner in order to remain competitive. The need to respond to technological changes may require us to make substantial, unanticipated expenditures. There can be no assurance that we will be able to respond successfully to technological changes. If we will be unable to respond successfully to technological advance, we may lose our competitive advantage, which could adversely affect our business.

If we fail to offer high-quality customer support, our business and reputation may suffer.

High-quality customer support is important for the successful retention of existing customers. Providing this support requires that our support personnel have specific knowledge and expertise of our products, services and markets, and that we continuously evaluate our customer support services, technologies and processes. The importance of high-quality customer support will increase as we expand our business and pursue new customers. If we do not provide effective and timely ongoing support, our ability to retain existing customers may suffer, and our reputation with existing or potential customers may be harmed, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

The mass transit ridesharing market is still in relatively early stages of growth and if the market does not continue to grow, grows more slowly than we expect or fails to grow as large as we expect, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

The mass transit ridesharing market is still relatively new, and it is uncertain to what extent market acceptance will continue to grow and at what pace. Our success depends to a substantial extent on the willingness of people to widely adopt mass transit ridesharing. If the public does not perceive our offerings as beneficial, or chooses not to adopt them as a result of concerns regarding public health or safety, affordability or for other reasons, then the market for our offerings may not further develop, may develop more slowly than we expect or may not achieve the growth potential we expect. Any of the foregoing risks and challenges could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

If we fail to cost-effectively attract and retain qualified drivers to use our platform, or to increase utilization of our platform by existing drivers using our platform, our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed.

Our continued growth depends in part on our ability to cost-effectively attract and retain qualified drivers who satisfy our screening criteria and procedures to use our platform and to increase utilization of our platform by existing drivers.

To attract and retain qualified drivers to use our platform, we have, among other things, offered bonus payments and other incentives to high-performing drivers. If we do not continue to provide drivers with compelling opportunities to earn income and other incentive programs for using our platform, or if drivers become dissatisfied with our requirements for drivers to use our platform, we may fail to attract new drivers to use our platform, retain current drivers to use our platform or increase their utilization of our platform, or we may experience complaints, negative publicity, or services disruptions that could adversely affect our users and our business.

The incentives we provide to attract drivers could fail to attract and retain qualified drivers to use our platform or fail to increase utilization of our platform by existing drivers or could have other unintended adverse consequences. In addition, changes in certain laws and regulations, labor and employment laws, licensing requirements or background check requirements, may result in a shift or decrease in the pool of qualified drivers, which may result in increased competition for the services of qualified drivers or higher costs of recruitment, operation and retention with respect to drivers providing services through our platform. Other factors outside of our control, such as concerns about public and/or personal health and safety, or concerns about the availability of government or other assistance programs if drivers continue to drive using our platform, may also reduce the number of drivers available through our platform or utilization of our platform by drivers, or impact our ability to attract new drivers to use our platform. If we fail to attract qualified drivers to use its platform on favorable terms, fail to increase utilization of our platform by existing drivers or loses qualified drivers using its platform to competitors, we may not be able to meet the demand of riders, including maintaining competitive prices for riders, and our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

If we fail to cost-effectively attract and retain new corporate customers, our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to cost-effectively attract and retain new corporate customers. Companies have a variety of options for employee transportation, such as public transit, traditional shuttle services or employee car allowances. Corporate transportation may also evolve due to factors such as cost considerations, employee well-being initiatives, sustainability goals and shift in workplace policies.

To expand our corporate customer base, we must appeal to businesses through our brand awareness, reputation for reliability, cost-effectiveness and employee safety and satisfaction. We believe that our core technologies, which enable us to reduce cost and increase safety, compared to other means of transportation have been a key in increasing adoption among companies, and retaining them.

We rely on our key personnel and other highly skilled personnel, and if we fail to attract, retain, motivate or integrate our personnel, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

Our success depends in part on the continued service of our co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, senior management team, key technical employees and other highly skilled personnel, and on our ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate, retain and integrate highly qualified personnel for all areas of our organization. We may not be successful in attracting and retaining qualified personnel to fulfill our current or future needs. Our competitors may be successful in recruiting and hiring members of our management team or other key employees, and it may be difficult to find suitable replacements on a timely basis, on competitive terms, or at all. If we are unable to attract and retain the necessary personnel, particularly in critical areas of our business, we may not achieve our strategic goals.

Table of Contents

We face intense competition for highly skilled personnel. To attract and retain top talent, we had to offer, and we believe we need to continue to offer, competitive compensation and benefits packages. Job candidates and existing personnel often consider the value of the equity awards they receive in connection with their employment. If the perceived value of our equity or equity awards declines or if we are unable to provide competitive compensation packages, our ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel may be adversely affected and we may experience increased attrition. We may need to invest significant amounts of cash and equity to attract and retain new employees and expend significant time and resources to identify, recruit, train and integrate such employees, and we may never realize returns on these investments. If we are unable to effectively manage its hiring needs or successfully integrate new hires, our efficiency, ability to meet forecasts and employee morale, productivity and retention could suffer, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our reputation, brand and the network effects among the drivers and riders using our platform are important to our success, and if we are not able to maintain and continue developing our reputation, brand and network effects, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected, and the recent market exits might impact the reputation and brand for us in the markets they operated in with their original brand name and was exited later.

We believe that building a strong reputation and brand as a safe, reliable and affordable platform and continuing to increase the strength of the network effects among the drivers and riders using our platform (i.e., the advantages that derive from having more drivers and riders using our platform) are critical to our ability to attract and retain qualified drivers and riders. The successful development of our reputation, brand and network effects depends on a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. Negative perception of us or our platform may harm our reputation, brand and network effects, including as a result of:

| ● | complaints or negative publicity about us or drivers or riders on our platform, our offerings or our policies and guidelines, including our practices and policies with respect to drivers, or the ridesharing industry, even if factually incorrect or based on isolated incidents;

| ● | illegal, negligent, reckless or otherwise inappropriate behavior by drivers, riders or third parties;

| ● | failure to offer riders competitive pricing and convenient service;

| ● | failure to provide the range of routes, Dynamic Routing (as defined below), and ride types sought by riders;

| ● | actual or perceived inaccuracies in demand prediction and other defects or errors in our platform;

| ● | actual or perceived disruptions in our platform, site outages, payment disruptions or other incidents that impact the reliability of our offerings;

| ● | failure to protect our customer personal data, or other privacy or data security breaches;

| ● | litigation involving, or investigations by regulators into, our business;

| ● | users’ lack of awareness of, or compliance with, our policies;

| ● | our policies or changes thereto that users or others perceive as overly restrictive, unclear or inconsistent with our values or mission or that are not clearly articulated;

| ● | a failure to enforce our policies in a manner that users perceive as effective, fair and transparent;

| ● | a failure to operate our business in a way that is consistent with our stated values and mission;

| ● | inadequate or unsatisfactory user support service experiences;

| ● | illegal or otherwise inappropriate behavior by our management team or other employees or contractors;

| ● | negative responses by drivers or riders to new offerings on our platform;

Table of Contents

| ● | a failure to balance the interests of driver and riders;

| ● | accidents or other negative incidents involving the use of our platform;

| ● | perception of our treatment of employees or contractors and our response to employee sentiment related to political or social causes or actions of management;

| ● | political or social policies or activities; or

| ● | any of the foregoing with respect to our competitors, to the extent such resulting negative perception affects the public’s perception of us or its industry as a whole.

If we do not successfully maintain and develop our brand, reputation and network effects and successfully differentiate our offerings from the offerings of competitors, our business may not grow, we may not be able to compete effectively and we could lose existing qualified drivers or existing riders or fail to attract new qualified drivers or new riders to use our platform, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our Company’s culture has contributed to our success and if we cannot maintain this culture as it grows, our business, financial condition and operating results could be harmed.

We believe that our culture, which promotes proactivity, taking ownership and putting riders and drivers first has been critical to its success. We face a number of challenges that may affect our ability to sustain our corporate culture, including:

| ● | failure to identify, attract, reward and retain people in leadership positions in our organization who share and further our culture, values and mission;

| ● | our rapid growth strategy, which involves increasing the size and geographic dispersion of our workforce;

| ● | shelter-in-place orders in certain jurisdictions where we operate that have required many of our employees to work remotely, as well as return to work arrangements and workplace strategies;

| ● | the inability to achieve adherence to our internal policies and core values, including our diversity, equity and inclusion practices;

| ● | competitive pressures to move in directions that may divert us from our mission, vision and values;

| ● | the continued challenges of the rapidly evolving mass-transit ridesharing industry;

| ● | the increasing need to develop expertise in new areas of business and operate across borders;

| ● | potential negative perception of our treatment of employees or our response to employee sentiment related to political or social causes or actions of management; and

| ● | the integration of new personnel and businesses from potential acquisitions.

If we are not able to maintain our corporate culture, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

Our growth strategy will subject us to additional costs, compliance requirements and risks, and our plans may not be successful.

We intend to pursue steady growth strategy to expand our operations into new international markets, including potentially in the U.S. and other Gulf Corporation Council countries (“GCC”) such as Qatar. Our growth strategy for 2026 focuses on growth with keeping expansion cost in balance, as well as keeping a lot of operation functions centralized in cost-effective markets to help with cost management, in line with how it operated in 2025.

We implemented a rapid growth strategy in the first half of 2022, acquiring multiple entities to expand operations into new international markets. We aimed to expand our B2C (as defined below) offerings in countries in the Middle East and Latin America, and to introduce Business offerings in countries in Latin America, Western Europe and Southeast Asia. Operating in a large number of countries requires significant attention of our management to oversee operations over a broad geographic area with varying legal and regulatory environments, competitive dynamics and cultural norms and customs and places significant burdens on our operations, engineering, finance and legal and compliance functions. During 2022 and 2023, we have discontinued several operations and markets, and decided to continue our operations in Egypt, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (“KSA”) and the United Arab Emirates (“UAE”). In June 2025, we expanded by launching operations in the United Kingdom (“UK”), and in January 2026, by launching operations in Kuwait. We incurred significant operating expenses as a result of our international presence and our expansion plans were subject to a variety of challenges, including:

| ● | recruitment and retention of talented and capable employees in foreign countries while maintaining our company culture in each of its markets;

| ● | competition from local incumbents with existing knowledge of local markets that may market and operate more effectively and may enjoy greater local affinity or awareness;

| ● | differing rider and driver demand dynamics, which may make our offerings less successful;

| ● | the need to adapt to new markets, including the need to localize our offerings and marketing efforts to the preferences of local riders and drivers;

| ● | public health concerns or emergencies, including global pandemics, highly communicable diseases or viruses;

| ● | compliance with varying laws and regulatory standards, including with respect to data privacy, cybersecurity, tax, trade compliance, environmental and other vehicle standards and local regulatory restrictions;

| ● | the risk that local laws and business practices favor local competitors;

| ● | compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the “FCPA”) and similar laws in other jurisdictions;

| ● | obtaining any required government approvals, licenses or other authorizations;

| ● | varying levels of Internet and mobile technology adoption and infrastructure;

| ● | currency exchange restrictions or costs and exchange rate fluctuations;

| ● | political, economic, or social instability, which may cause disruptions to our business;

| ● | operating in jurisdictions with reduced, nonexistent or unenforceable protection for intellectual property rights or where we do not have registered intellectual property rights in its brand and/or technology; and

| ● | limitations on the repatriation and investment of funds as well as foreign currency exchange restrictions.

Our limited experience in operating our business in multiple countries increases the risk that any potential expansion efforts that we may undertake will not be successful and that historically led to us exiting certain markets we were operating in due to difficulties in those markets and the funding available to maintain operation and growth. We intend to invest substantial time and resources to expand our operations internationally. As a result, if we are unable to manage these risks effectively, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

If we fail to effectively manage our growth and optimize our organizational structure, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

Since our launch in 2017, we have experienced rapid growth in our business, revenues and the number of users on our platform. We expect this growth to be slower than prior periods, focusing on profitability of the new expansions or growth in existing markets given the current market conditions which increase the cost of capital to support growth activities.

This growth has placed, and will continue to place, significant demands on our management and our operational and financial infrastructure. The steps we take to manage our business operations, including policies for employees, and to align our operations with our strategies for growth, may adversely affect our reputation and brand and our ability to recruit, retain and motivate highly skilled personnel.

Our ability to manage growth and business operations effectively and to integrate new employees, technologies and acquisitions into our existing business will require us to continue to expand our operational and financial infrastructure and to continue to retain, attract, train, motivate and manage employees. Continued growth could strain our ability to develop and improve our operational, financial and management controls, enhance our reporting systems and procedures, recruit, train and retain highly skilled personnel and maintain user satisfaction. Additionally, if we do not effectively manage the growth of our business and operations, then our reputation, brand, business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

We have not historically maintained insurance coverage for our operations. We may not be able to mitigate the risks facing our business and could incur significant uninsured losses, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We do not currently maintain any insurance policies to cover general business liabilities, business interruptions, crime, losses of key personnel or security breaches and incidents relating to our network systems or operations. As a result, any losses arising from or relating to, among other things, personal injury, property damage, labor and employment disputes, commercial disputes, fraudulent transactions or other criminal activity, business interruptions, noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations, infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property or security or privacy breaches, or the successful assertion of one or more claims against or related to any of the foregoing, could require us to service such losses or claims using internal resources, which would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our business depends on insurance coverage which is independently required to be maintained by the drivers using its platform.

We are in the process of obtaining coverage for general business liabilities and cyber insurance. We are also evaluating whether other types of insurance coverage may be appropriate for our business, such as transportation network company insurance. Nevertheless, we may not obtain enough insurance to adequately mitigate the operations-related risks we face, and some operations-related risks may not be covered at all. We may have to pay high premiums, self-insured retentions or deductibles for the coverage we do obtain. We may also be unable to obtain cyber insurance coverage in certain countries at commercially reasonable rates or at all, and it may experience losses as a result. Additionally, if any of our insurance providers becomes insolvent, such providers could be unable to pay any operations-related claims that we make. Certain losses may be excluded from insurance coverage.

We maintain and provides medical insurance for all drivers and riders using our platform only in Egypt. To do so, we rely on a limited number of third-party insurance service providers to service-related claims. If any of our third-party insurance service providers fails to service claims to our expectations, discontinues or increases the cost of coverage or changes the terms of such coverage in a manner unfavorable to drivers, riders or to us, we cannot guarantee that we would be able to secure replacement coverage or services on reasonable terms in an acceptable time frame or at all. If we cannot find alternate third-party insurance service providers on acceptable terms, we may incur additional expenses related to servicing such ride-related claims using internal resources.

Insurance providers have raised premiums and deductibles for many types of claims, coverages and for a variety of commercial risk and are likely to do so in the future. As a result, our insurance and claims expense could increase, or we may decide to raise our deductibles or self-insured retentions when policies are renewed or replaced to manage pricing pressure. Our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected if (i) cost per claim, premiums or the number of claims significantly exceeds our historical experience, (ii) we experience a claim in excess of our coverage limits, (iii) our insurance providers fail to pay on our insurance claims, (iv) we experience a claim for which coverage is not provided, (v) the number of claims and average claim cost under our deductibles or self-insured retentions differs from historic averages or (vi) an insurance policy is cancelled or not renewed.

There is no guarantee that we will be able to generate the revenue necessary to support our cost structure or obtain the level of financing necessary for our operations.

In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (“FY 2025”), we generated profit for the year of $1.47 million while reducing the negative cashflow from operations to $2.14 million. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (“FY 2024”), we incurred losses for the year of $9.61 million while reducing the negative cashflow from operations to $3.29 million. We have funded our operations to date mainly through working capital cycles and external fundraising.

In FY 2024 we revised our capital structure to be funded through working capital and cashflows generated from operations. We have also secured a working capital line to ensure that there is continuity of funds available for the Egyptian market if needed. Our current markets are profitable and generate sufficient cash flows for our day to day operations, however, we and our subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) have incurred losses and negative cashflows on account of our corporate expenses and listing costs.

We monitor our cash flow projections on a current basis and take active measures to accelerate the working capital cycle. However, these cash flow projections are subject to various uncertainties concerning their fulfilment such as the ability to increase revenues by attracting and expanding its customer base or reducing cost structure. If we will not succeed in generating sufficient cash flow or completing additional financing, then it will need to continue our cost reduction plan that has been started. Our transition to profitable operations is dependent on generating a level of revenue adequate to support our cost structure. We expect to fund operations using cash on hand, through operational cash flows and raising additional proceeds. There are no assurances, however, we will be able to generate the revenue necessary to support our cost structure or that we will be successful in obtaining the level of financing necessary for its operations.

An inability to generate positive cash flow from operating activities for the near term may adversely affect our ability to raise needed capital through external debt for our business on reasonable terms, or at all, diminish supplier or customer willingness to enter into transactions with us, and have other adverse effects that may decrease our long-term viability. There can be no assurance that we will achieve positive cash flow in the near future or at all.

Illegal, improper or otherwise inappropriate activity of riders, drivers or other users, whether or not occurring while utilizing our platform, could expose us to liability and harm our business, brand, financial condition and operating results.

Illegal, improper or otherwise inappropriate activities by riders, drivers or other users, including the activities of individuals who may have previously engaged with, but are not then receiving or providing services offered through, our platform could adversely affect our brand, business, financial condition and operating results. These activities may include assault, theft, unauthorized use or sharing of rider or driver accounts and other misconduct. Such conduct could expose us to liability or adversely affect our brand or reputation.

While we have taken measures to guard against these illegal, improper or otherwise inappropriate activities, these measures may prove inadequate to prevent such activities or we may not be successful in implementing them effectively. Although we require certain qualification processes for drivers using our platform, including submission of criminal record checks in certain jurisdictions, these qualification processes may not expose all potentially relevant information and may be limited in certain jurisdictions according to national and local laws, and we may fail to conduct such qualification processes adequately or identify information that could be relevant to a determination of driver eligibility.

Further, any negative publicity related to the foregoing, whether an incident occurred on our platform, on our competitors’ platforms, or on any ridesharing platform, could adversely affect our reputation and brand or public perception of the ridesharing industry as a whole, which could negatively affect demand for our platform and potentially lead to increased regulatory or litigation exposure. Any of the foregoing risks could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

Changes to our pricing could adversely affect our ability to attract or retain qualified drivers and riders to use our platform.

Demand for our offerings is sensitive to the price of rides. Many factors, including operating costs, legal and regulatory requirements or constraints and our current and future competitors’ pricing and marketing strategies, could significantly affect our pricing strategies. Competitors may offer, or may in the future offer, lower-priced or a broader range of offerings or use marketing strategies that enable them to attract or retain qualified drivers and riders at a lower cost than we do.

We use pricing algorithms to set prices depending on the route, time of day and expected rates of utilization. In the past, we have made pricing changes and spent significant resources on marketing rider incentives, and there can be no assurance that we will not be forced, through competitive pressures, regulation or otherwise, to reduce the price of rides for riders, to increase the rates we offer for driver services or to increase our marketing and other expenses to attract and retain qualified drivers and riders using our platform.

Furthermore, the economic sensitivity of drivers and riders using our platform may vary by geographic location, and as we expand into new markets, our pricing methodologies may not enable us to compete effectively in these locations. Local regulations may affect our pricing in certain geographic locations, which could amplify these effects. For example, we and other ridesharing companies have made commitments to the Egyptian Competition Authority not to set prices below certain profitability benchmarks with respect to their B2C ridesharing offerings in Egypt. We have launched, and may in the future launch, new pricing strategies and initiatives, such as subscription packages and driver or rider loyalty programs. We have also modified, and may in the future modify, existing pricing methodologies, such as our up-front pricing policy. Any of the foregoing actions may not ultimately be successful in attracting and retaining qualified drivers and riders.

Any actual or perceived security or privacy breach could interrupt our operations and adversely affect our reputation, brand, business, financial condition and operating results. We have previously experienced a data breach that resulted in the exposure of customer information.

Our business involves the collection, storage, transmission and other processing of our users’ personal and other sensitive data. An increasing number of organizations, including large online and off-line merchants and businesses, other large Internet companies, financial institutions and government institutions, have disclosed breaches of their information security systems and other information security incidents, some of which have involved sophisticated and highly targeted attacks. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to or to sabotage information systems change frequently and may not be known until launched, we may be unable to anticipate, detect or prevent these attacks.

We have previously experienced a data breach. In July 2020, unauthorized parties gained access to a Swvl database containing identifiable information of its riders by exploiting a breach in certain third-party software used by us. While such breach has not had a material impact on our business or operations and we have since implemented measures designed to restrict any similar data breach, unauthorized parties may in the future gain access to our systems or facilities through various means, including gaining unauthorized access into our systems or facilities or those of our service providers, partners or users on our platform, or attempting to fraudulently induce our employees, service providers, partners, users or others into disclosing rider names, passwords, payment card information or other sensitive information, which may in turn be used to access our information technology systems, or attempting to fraudulently induce our employees, partners or others into manipulating payment information, resulting in the fraudulent transfer of funds to criminal actors. In addition, users on our platform could have vulnerabilities on their own mobile devices that are entirely unrelated to our systems and platform but could mistakenly attribute their own vulnerabilities to us. Further, breaches experienced by other companies may also be leveraged against us. For example, credential stuffing and ransomware attacks are becoming increasingly common, and sophisticated actors can mask their attacks, making them increasingly difficult to identify and prevent. Certain efforts may be state-sponsored or supported by significant financial and technological resources, making them even more difficult to detect.

Although we have developed systems and processes that are designed to protect users’ data, prevent data loss and prevent other privacy or security breaches, these measures cannot guarantee security. Our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to cyberattacks or security breaches, and third parties may be able to access our users’ payment card data and other personal information that are accessible through those systems. We are still a growing company and may not have sufficient dedicated personnel or internal oversight to detect, identify, and respond to all privacy or security incidents. Additionally, as we expand its operations, including sharing data with third parties or continuing the work-from-home practices of our employees (including increased use of video conferencing), our exposure to cyberattacks or security breaches may increase. Further, employee error, malfeasance or other errors in the storage, use or transmission of personal information could result in an actual or perceived privacy or security breach or other security incident. Although we have implemented policies restricting the access to the personal information it stores, these policies may be breached or prove inadequate.

Any actual or perceived breach of privacy or security could interrupt our operations, result in our platform being unavailable, result in loss or improper disclosure of data, result in fraudulent transfer of funds, harm our reputation and brand, damage our relationships with strategic partners and third-party service providers, result in significant legal, regulatory and financial exposure and lead to loss of driver or rider confidence in, or decreased use of, our platform, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Any breach of privacy or security impacting any entities with which we may share or disclose data could have similar effects. Further, any cyber-attacks or security and privacy breaches directed at our competitors could reduce confidence in the ridesharing industry as a whole and, as a result, reduce confidence in us.

Additionally, responding to any privacy or security breach, including defending against claims, investigations or litigation in connection with any privacy or security breach, regardless of their merit, could be costly and divert management’s attention. We do not currently maintain any insurance to cover security breaches and incidents or losses relating to its network systems or operations. As a result, the successful assertion of one or more large claims against us could have an adverse effect on our reputation, brand, business, financial condition and operating results. For more information see “Item 16K. Cybersecurity”.

Defects, errors or vulnerabilities in our applications, backend systems or other technology systems and those of third-party technology providers could harm our reputation and brand and adversely impact our business, financial condition and operating results.

The software underlying our platform is highly complex and may contain undetected errors or vulnerabilities, some of which may only be discovered after the code has been released. The third-party software that we incorporate into our platform may also be subject to errors or vulnerability. Any errors or vulnerabilities discovered in our code or third-party software could result in negative publicity, loss of users, loss of revenue and access or other performance issues. Such vulnerabilities could also be exploited by malicious actors and result in exposure of data of users on our platform, or otherwise result in a data breach. We may need to expend significant financial and development resources to analyze, correct, eliminate or work around errors or defects or to address and eliminate vulnerabilities. Any failure to timely and effectively resolve any such errors, defects or vulnerabilities could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results as well as negatively impact our reputation or brand.

We rely on various third-party product and service providers and if such third parties do not perform adequately or terminate their relationships with us, our costs may increase and our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

Our success depends in part on our relationships with third-party product and service providers. For example, we rely on third-parties to fulfill various marketing, web hosting, payment, communications and data analytics services to support our platform. If any of our partners terminate their relationship with us or refuses to renew their agreement on commercially reasonable terms, we would need to find an alternate provider, and may not be able to secure similar terms or replace such providers in an acceptable time frame. While we do not own or operate vehicles, in the event that vehicle manufacturers issue recalls or the supply of vehicles or automotive parts is interrupted, affecting the vehicles operating on our platform, the availability of vehicles on our platform could become constrained.

In addition, our business may be adversely affected to the extent the software and services used by our third-party service providers do not meet expectations, contain errors or vulnerabilities, are compromised or experience outages. We cannot be certain that our licensors are not infringing the intellectual property rights of others or that the suppliers and licensors have sufficient rights to the technology in all jurisdictions in which we may operate. If we are unable to obtain or maintain rights to any of this technology because of intellectual property infringement claims brought by third parties against suppliers, licensors or ourselves, or if we are unable to continue to obtain the technology or enter into new agreements on commercially reasonable terms, our ability to develop our platform containing that technology could be severely limited and our business could be harmed. If we are unable to obtain necessary technology from third parties, we may be forced to acquire or develop alternate technology, which may require significant time and effort and may be of lower quality or performance standards. This would limit and delay our ability to provide new or competitive offerings and increase our costs. If alternate technology cannot be obtained or developed, we may not be able to offer certain functionality as part of its offerings, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Any of these risks could increase our costs and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Further, any negative publicity related to any of our strategic partners and third-party service providers, including any publicity related to quality standards or safety concerns, could adversely affect our reputation and brand, and could potentially lead to increased regulatory or litigation exposure.

If we fail to effectively predict rider demand and set pricing and routing accordingly or to run routes that are consistent with the availability of drivers using our platform, our business, financial condition and operating results could be affected.

We rely on our proprietary technology to predict and dynamically update routing in response to changes in demand, to optimize pricing in response to such demand and to maximize per-vehicle utilization. If we are unable to effectively predict and meet rider demand and to update our routing and pricing accordingly, we may lose ridership and its revenues may decrease. In addition, riders’ price sensitivity varies by geographic location, among other factors, and if we are unable to effectively account for such variability in our pricing methodologies, our ability to compete effectively in these locations could be adversely affected. Our success also depends, in part, on our ability to match route plans with the availability and preferences of the drivers using our platform. If we are unable to determine and allocate routes in a manner consistent with the availability and preferences of such drivers, drivers may reduce or discontinue their participation on our platform and may use competitors’ platforms. Any of the foregoing risks could negatively impact our business, financial condition and operating results.

If we are not able to successfully develop new offerings on our platform and enhance our existing offerings, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

Our ability to attract new qualified drivers and new riders, retain existing qualified drivers and existing riders and increase utilization of our offerings will depend in part on our ability to successfully create and introduce new offerings and to improve upon and enhance existing offerings. As a result, we may introduce significant changes to our existing offerings or develop and introduce new and unproven offerings. If any of our new or enhanced offerings are unsuccessful, including as a result of any inability to obtain and maintain required permits or authorizations or other regulatory constraints or because they fail to generate sufficient return on our investments, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

Furthermore, new driver or rider demands regarding platform features, the availability of superior competitive offerings or a deterioration in the quality of our offerings or ability to bring new or enhanced offerings to market quickly and efficiently could negatively affect the attractiveness of our platform and the economics of our business, requiring us to make substantial changes to and additional investments in our offerings or business model. In addition, we frequently experiment with and tests different offerings and marketing strategies. If these experiments and tests are unsuccessful, or if the offerings and strategies we introduce based on the results of such experiments and tests do not perform as expected, our ability to attract new qualified drivers and new riders, retain existing qualified drivers and existing riders and maintain or increase utilization of our offerings may be adversely affected.

Our market is characterized by rapid technology change, particularly across the anticipated TaaS and SaaS offerings, which require us to develop new products and product innovations, and any delays in such development could adversely affect market adoption of our products and our financial results. Developing and launching new offerings or enhancements to the existing offerings on our platform, such as our launch of our TaaS offering in 2020 and our subsequent launch of our SaaS offering for use by corporate customers and other third parties, involves significant risks and uncertainties, including risks related to the reception of such offerings by existing and potential future drivers and riders, increases in operational complexity, unanticipated delays or challenges in implementing such offerings or enhancements, increased strain on our operational and internal resources (including an impairment of our ability to accurately forecast rider demand and the number of drivers using our platform) and negative publicity in the event such new or enhanced offerings are perceived to be unsuccessful. We intend to continue to scale our business rapidly, and significant new initiatives have in the past resulted in, and in the future may result in, operational challenges affecting our business.

In addition, developing and launching new offerings and enhancements to our existing offerings may involve significant up-front capital investments. Such investments may not generate a positive return on investment. Further, from time to time we may reevaluate, discontinue and/or reduce these investments and decide to discontinue one or more of its offerings. Any of the foregoing risks and challenges could negatively impact our ability to attract and retain qualified drivers and riders, our ability to increase utilization of our offerings and our visibility into expected operating results, and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Additionally, our near-term operating results may be impacted by long-term investments in the future.

We may require additional capital to support the growth of our business, which capital may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. To the extent we obtain additional capital through future issuances of our Securities, such issuances could dilute the interests of existing shareholders.

Since commencing operations in 2017, we have funded our operations and capital expenditures primarily through equity issuances, convertible note issuances. By the end of 2022 along with the economic downturn, we shifted dependency to rely more on cash generated from operations rather than equity issuances to avoid dilution to shareholders. To support and grow our business, we must have sufficient capital.

We may issue additional Securities in the future, for example, under employee incentive plans, in the public market, in a private placement or as part of an acquisition in which the seller receives our Securities as consideration. The issuance of additional Securities by us may significantly dilute the equity interests of existing shareholders and could cause a change in control if a substantial number of our Securities are issued, which may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Securities.

Our ability to obtain financing in the future will depend upon, among other things, our development efforts, business plans and operating performance and the condition of the capital markets at the time we seek such financing. We cannot be certain that additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us or within the timeframe we require, our ability to continue to support its business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited, and our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

Our metrics and estimates, including the key metrics included in this Annual Report, are subject to inherent challenges in measurement, and real or perceived inaccuracies in those metrics may harm our reputation and negatively affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We regularly review and may adjust our processes for calculating the metrics used to evaluate growth, measure performance and make strategic decisions. These metrics, including utilization, avoided emissions and driver retention rates, among others, which are calculated using internal company data and have not been evaluated by a third-party. Our metrics may differ from estimates published by third parties or from similarly titled metrics of our competitors due to differences in methodology or the assumptions on which we rely, and we may make material adjustments to our processes for calculating our metrics in order to enhance accuracy, because better information becomes available or for other reasons, which may result in changes to such metrics. The estimates and forecasts we disclose relating to the size and expected growth of our addressable market may prove to be inaccurate. Even if the markets in which we compete meet the size estimates and growth we have forecasted, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all. Additionally, while we may at times create and publish metrics or other disclosures regarding environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters, many of the statements in those voluntary disclosures are based on expectations and assumptions that may or may not be representative of current or actual risks or events or forecasts of expected risks or events, including the costs associated therewith. Such expectations and assumptions are necessarily uncertain given the long timelines involved and the lack of an established single approach to identify, measuring, and reporting on many ESG matters. If investors or analysts do not consider our metrics to be accurate representations of our business, or if we discover material inaccuracies in our metrics, then our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

Our marketing efforts to help grow our business may not be effective.

Promoting awareness of our offerings is important to our ability to grow our business and to attract new qualified drivers and riders and can be costly. We believe that much of the growth in our rider base and the number of drivers using our platform is attributable to our paid marketing initiatives. Our marketing efforts currently include offline marketing (such as billboard advertisements and in-person promotional events), online marketing (such as social media and Internet-driven advertising campaigns), and partnerships with other businesses, through which we offer promotions and other incentives to the customers of such businesses. As we expand our business into new markets, our marketing initiatives may become increasingly expensive, and generating a meaningful return on those initiatives may be difficult. Even if we successfully increase revenue due to our paid marketing efforts, such an increase may not offset the additional marketing expenses we incur.

17

Table of Contents

If our marketing efforts are not successful in promoting awareness of our offerings or attracting new qualified drivers, riders, or corporate customers, or if we cannot cost-effectively manage our marketing expenses, our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected. If our marketing efforts successfully increase awareness of its offerings, this could also lead to increased public scrutiny of our business and increase the likelihood of third parties bringing legal proceedings against us. Any of the foregoing risks could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Any failure to offer high-quality user support may harm our relationships with users and could adversely affect our reputation, brand, business, financial condition, and operating results.

Our ability to attract and retain drivers, riders and corporate customers to use our platform depends partly on the ease and reliability of our offerings, including our ability to provide high-quality support. Riders, drivers and other users of our platform depend on our support services to resolve any issues relating to our offerings, such as issues relating to payments or reporting a safety incident. Our ability to provide adequate and timely support is dependent on our ability to automate support services for simple issues (such as route inquiries) and, for other issues, to retain and deploy third-party service providers who are qualified to support users and sufficiently knowledgeable regarding our offerings. As we continue to grow our business and improve and expand our offerings, we will face challenges in providing quality support services at scale. As we expand our offerings into new territories, we will be required to provide support services specific to our offerings and the needs of users in the applicable market. Any failure to provide high-quality user support, or a market perception that we do not offer high-quality support, could adversely affect our reputation, brand, business, financial condition and operating results.

Systems failures and resulting interruptions in the availability of our website, applications, platform, or offerings could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Our systems, or those of the third parties upon which we rely, may experience service interruptions or degradation because of hardware and software defects or malfunctions, distributed denial-of-service and other cyberattacks, human error, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, fires, natural disasters, power losses, disruptions in telecommunications services, fraud, military or political conflicts, terrorist attacks, computer viruses, ransomware, malware or other events. Our systems may also be subject to break-ins, sabotage, theft and intentional acts of vandalism, including by our employees. Some of our systems are not fully redundant, and our disaster recovery planning may not be sufficient for all eventualities. Any business interruption insurance that we obtain in the future may not be adequate to cover all our losses that may result from interruptions in our service due to systems failures and similar events.

We may experience system failures and other events or conditions from time to time that interrupt the availability or reduce or affect the speed or functionality of our offerings. These events could result in loss of revenue. A prolonged interruption in the availability or reduction in the availability, speed, or other functionality of our offerings could adversely affect our business and reputation and could result in the loss of users. Moreover, to the extent that any system failure or similar event results in harm to the users using our platform, we may make voluntary payments to compensate for such harm or the affected users could seek monetary recourse or contractual remedies from us for their losses and such claims, even if unsuccessful, would likely be time-consuming and costly for us to address.

Our business could be adversely impacted by changes in users’ access to the internet and mobile devices or unfavorable changes in, or our failure to comply with, existing or future laws governing the internet and mobile devices.

Our business depends on users’ access to our platform via the internet and mobile devices. We operate in and plan to expand into markets that may have low levels of internet penetration or provide limited internet connectivity in some areas. The price of mobile devices and internet access may limit our potential growth in such markets. Internet infrastructure in such markets may not support, and may be disrupted by, continued growth in the number of internet users, their frequency of use or their bandwidth requirements. Any such failure in Internet or mobile device accessibility, even for a short period, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or operating results.

Table of Contents

We are subject to several laws and regulations specifically governing the internet and mobile devices that are constantly evolving. Existing and future laws and regulations, or changes thereto, may impede the growth and availability of the internet and our offerings, require us to change our business practices, or raise compliance costs or other costs of doing business. These laws and regulations, which continue to evolve, cover taxation, privacy and data protection, pricing, copyrights, mobile and other communications, advertising practices, consumer protections, online payment services, and the characteristics and quality of offerings, among other things. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with any of these laws or regulations could result in damage to our reputation and brand, a loss of users, and fines or proceedings by governmental agencies, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We rely on mobile operating systems and application marketplaces to make our mobile applications available to the drivers and riders using our platform. If we do not effectively operate with or receive favorable placements within such application marketplaces and maintain high user reviews, our usage or brand recognition could decline and our business, financial results and operating results could be adversely affected.

We depend in part on mobile operating systems, such as Android and iOS, and their respective application marketplaces to make its applications available to drivers and riders using our platform. Any changes in such systems and application marketplaces that degrade the functionality of our applications or give preferential treatment to competitors’ applications could adversely affect the usage of our platform. If such mobile operating systems or application marketplaces limit or prohibit us from making its applications available to drivers and riders, make changes that degrade the functionality of our applications, increase the cost of using its applications, impose terms of use unsatisfactory to us or modify their search or ratings algorithms in ways that are detrimental to it, or if the placement of competitors in such mobile operating systems’ application marketplaces is more prominent than the placement of our applications, overall growth in our rider or driver base could slow. Our applications have experienced fluctuations in number of downloads in the past, and we anticipate fluctuations in the future. Any of the foregoing risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

As new mobile devices and mobile platforms are released, there is no guarantee that certain mobile devices will continue to support our platform or effectively roll out updates to our applications. Additionally, we need to ensure that our offerings are designed to work effectively with a range of mobile technologies, systems, networks, and standards to deliver high-quality applications. We may not be successful in developing or maintaining relationships with key participants in the mobile industry that enhance the experience of drivers and riders. If drivers or riders on our platform encounter any difficulty accessing or using our applications on their mobile devices, or if we are unable to adapt to changes in popular mobile operating systems, our business, financial condition, and operating results could be adversely affected.

Our product integrates with other third-party applications, products and services, which we do not control. We may not be able to ensure compatibility with third parties’ product developments and we may not ensure that these third-parties’ applications, products and services will not disrupt the interoperability of our platform. Should any of these third parties’ applications, products or services degrades the functionality or performance of our product, our business and operating results may be adversely affected.

Our platform integrates with various communications, ticketing, payment and social media vendors. As our offerings expand and evolve, our platform may have an increasing number of integrations with other third-party applications, products and services. Third-party applications, products, and services are constantly evolving, and we may not be able to maintain or modify its platform to ensure its compatibility with third-party offerings following development changes. In addition, some of our competitors or third-parties upon which we rely may take actions that disrupt the interoperability of our platform with their products or services or exert strong business influence on our ability to operate and distribute its platform or the terms on which it does so. As our respective products evolve, we expect the types and levels of competition to increase. Should any of our competitors or other third-parties modify their products, standards or terms of use in a manner that degrades the functionality or performance of our platform or is otherwise unsatisfactory to us or gives preferential treatment to competitive products or services, our products, platform, business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

We do not have written contractual arrangements in place with certain of our historically material customers. In any event of a dispute, the lack or a written contract would make it difficult for us to enforce our right under such agreements, if at all.

We have provided TaaS services to certain corporate customers without a written contract governing such arrangement. These non-contractual arrangements with TaaS customers made up approximately 2% of our revenue in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, while there was none in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. While the counterparties have performed under such arrangements without any material disputes, in the event of a dispute, the lack of a written contract could make it particularly difficult for us to enforce its rights under the arrangement, if at all. During 2023, we entered into definitive documentation to govern our relationships with such corporate customers and progressed in setting up internal procedures to ensure that future relationships are governed by written contractual arrangements at the outset. As a result, we were able to eliminate the percentage of revenue attributable to TaaS customers without contractual arrangements over time and operate only after getting into definitive documentation with all of our customers.

Our business may be adversely affected by current or future unfavorable economic and market conditions, natural disasters, public health crises, political crises, or other unexpected events.

A natural disaster, such as an earthquake, fire, hurricane, tornado or flood, or significant power outage, could disrupt our operations, mobile networks, the Internet or the operations of our third-party technology providers. In addition, any public health crises, other epidemics, political crises, such as terrorist attacks, war and other political or social instability, or other catastrophic events could adversely affect our operations or the economy as a whole. Moreover, the likelihood of such events may increase as a result of climate change or other systemic impacts. Climate change may also put pressure on companies like us that rely on hydrocarbons for their operations to reduce its carbon emissions which may result in additional costs to us. The impact of such events or other disruption to us or its third-party providers’ abilities could result in decreased demand for our offerings or a disruption in the provision of our offerings, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our business, financial condition and operating results are also subject to general economic conditions in the markets in which we operate. Any deterioration of economic conditions in such markets could lead to, among other things, increased unemployment and decreased consumer spending and commercial activity. As a result, demand for our platform by riders and drivers may decline. We cannot predict the timing or duration of any economic slowdown or subsequent economic recovery in the markets in which we operate or intends to operate. An economic downturn resulting in a prolonged recessionary period may adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our operations are subject to currency volatility and inflation risk.

The U.S. dollar is our financial presentation currency as a group. We also derive revenues and incur expenses in other currencies relevant to each country of operations, including Egyptian pounds and Saudi Ryals. We currently operate in Egypt, Saudia Arabia, the UK and Kuwait. Operations in Egypt are in Egyptian pounds and subject to currency fluctuations. The Egyptian pound appreciated approximately 6% in the period between January 2025 and the date of this Annual Report and could decline in value against the U.S. dollar in the future. We are therefore subject to foreign currency exchange fluctuations through both translation risk and transaction risk. As a result, we are exposed to the risk that, if the Egyptian pound devalue relative to the dollar, inflation rates may exceed the speed of devaluation, or that the timing of such depreciation may lag behind inflation. The dollar cost of our operations would increase in any such event, and our dollar-denominated operating results would be adversely affected.

Generally, increases in inflation raise our costs for commodities, labor, services and other costs required to grow and operate our business, and failure to secure these on reasonable terms may adversely affect our financial condition. Increases in inflation, geopolitical developments and global supply chain disruptions, may cause, global economic uncertainty and uncertainty about the interest rate environment. A failure to adequately respond to these risks could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Risks Related to Regulatory, Legal and Tax Factors Affecting us

We may be subject to general litigation, regulatory disputes and government inquiries.

As a growing company with expanding operations, we may in the future increasingly face the risk of claims, lawsuits, government investigations and other proceedings involving competition and antitrust, intellectual property, privacy, consumer protection, accessibility claims, securities, tax, labor and employment, commercial disputes, services and other matters.

Table of Contents

We cannot predict the outcome of such disputes and inquiries with certainty. Regardless of the outcome, these can have an adverse impact on us because of legal costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. Determining reserves for any litigation is a complex, fact-intensive process that is subject to judgment calls. It is possible that a resolution of one or more such proceedings could require us to make substantial payments to satisfy judgments, fines or penalties or to settle claims or proceedings, any of which could harm our business. These proceedings could also result in reputational harm, criminal sanctions, consent decrees or orders preventing us from offering certain products or services or requiring a change in our business practices in costly ways or requiring development of non-infringing or otherwise altered products or technologies. Litigation and other claims and regulatory proceedings against us could result in unexpected expenses and liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Uncertainties with respect to the legal systems in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including changes in laws and the adoption and interpretation of new laws and regulations, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

In 2023, we had operated only in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, with our headquarters office in Dubai, UAE and in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and. in 2024, we expanded our operations in the UAE. During FY 2025, we entered the U.K. market and in January 2026 we entered the Kuwait market.

There are, and will likely continue to be, substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including the laws and regulations governing our business, the enforcement and performance of contractual arrangements and the protection of intellectual property rights. The legal systems in the countries in which we operate may not be as predictable or developed as that of the U.S., and in particular, may not have developed laws and regulations relating to the ridesharing industry. As a result, existing laws and regulations may be applied inconsistently and, in certain circumstances, it may be difficult to determine what actions or omissions may be deemed to violate applicable laws and regulations. There can be no assurance that our business will not be found to violate applicable laws or regulations in these jurisdictions in the future.

In addition, the jurisdictions in which we have business operations may in the future enact new laws and regulations relating to the internet, emissions and other environmental matters associated with ridesharing operations, the ridesharing industry generally and the operation of our business, and the interpretation and enforcement of such laws may involve significant uncertainties. New laws and regulations that affect our existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively.

We are, and may in the future be, required to hold registrations, licenses, permits and approvals in connection with our business operations. New laws and regulations may be adopted from time to time that require us to obtain registrations, licenses, permits and approvals in addition to those we already hold. We do not hold all of the required licenses and registrations for certain jurisdictions where we operate.

Other than ordinary course business permits generally applicable to companies operating in each particular jurisdiction and regulations pertaining to foreign investment (described in further detail below), we do not believe it is required to obtain any other registrations, licenses, permits or approvals to conduct our business as presently conducted in each of the other jurisdictions in which we operate. We further believe that we possesse all such business permits, the failure of which to possess would be material to our operations as presently conducted in the jurisdictions in which we operate. However, as regulation of the ridesharing industry in these jurisdictions remains under development, new laws and regulations may be adopted or implemented that could increase or otherwise change the requirements applicable to us. In addition, regulators may interpret existing laws and regulations that were not intended to apply to ridesharing businesses to apply to us or our operations. Further, we may expand our operations in the jurisdictions in which we operate in ways that would require additional licenses. If we fail to obtain any required registrations, licenses, permits or approvals or is otherwise found to be operating its business in a manner that is not compliant with applicable law, we may be subject to fines, revocation of our licenses and permits or other sanctions or be required to discontinue or restrict our operations in such jurisdictions. Any such required registrations, licensees, permits and approvals may be difficult for us to obtain. We cannot predict the effect that the interpretation of existing or new laws or regulations may have on our business.

In addition, governments in the jurisdictions we operate or intends to operate may restrict or control to varying degrees the ability of foreign investors to invest in businesses located or operating in such jurisdictions. Because we are incorporated in the BVI, we may be deemed to be foreign investors and therefore be subject to such restrictions or controls. As a result, there may be a risk of loss due to, among other things, expropriation, nationalization or confiscation of assets or the imposition of restrictions on repatriation of capital invested, in each case by the governmental or regulatory agencies empowered in such jurisdictions. While, in some cases, the BVI has entered into international investment treaties or agreements designed to encourage and protect investment by British Virgin Islands persons in foreign jurisdictions, there can be no guarantee that such treaties or agreements will cover the jurisdictions in which we operate in or that such treaties or agreements will be fully implemented or effective. In other cases, we are not able to take advantage of certain treaties because we are a BVI company and are therefore exposed to additional risk of such loss.

While we are not aware of any material limitations on foreign investment in the jurisdictions in which we operate, we are required to comply with certain regulations related to such investment. In the UAE, foreign investors are required to operate via an onshore licensed entity or an onshore branch of a foreign or free zone entity. We have established such an onshore branch and has obtained the requisite licenses and approvals for such branch’s operations. We may become subject to additional limitations and regulations as we expand our operations in the jurisdictions in which we operate and into new jurisdictions, and such limitations and regulations may impair our ability to operate effectively in such jurisdictions.

Any of the foregoing or similar occurrences or developments could significantly disrupt our business operations and restrict us from conducting a substantial portion of our business operations in these jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

As we expand our offerings, we may become subject to additional laws and regulations, and any actual or perceived failure by us to comply with such laws and regulations or manage the increased costs associated with such laws and regulations could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.

As we continue to expand our offerings and user base, we may become subject to additional laws and regulations, which may differ or conflict from one jurisdiction to another. Many of these laws and regulations were adopted prior to the advent of our industry and related technologies and, as a result, do not contemplate or address the unique issues faced by our industry.

Despite our efforts to comply with applicable laws, regulations and other obligations relating to its offerings, it is possible that our practices, offerings or platform could be inconsistent with, or fail or be alleged to fail to meet all requirements of, such laws, regulations or obligations. Our failure to comply with such laws, regulations or obligations may result in us being blocked from or limited in providing or operating our products and offerings in such jurisdictions, or it may be required to modify our business model in those or other jurisdictions as a result. Moreover, our failure, or the failure by our third-party service providers, to comply with applicable laws or regulations or any other obligations relating to our offerings, could harm our reputation and brand, discourage new and existing drivers and riders from using our platform, lead to refunds of rider fares or result in fines or proceedings by governmental agencies or private claims and litigation, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We are subject to various laws relating to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, and countering the financing of terrorism and have operations in certain countries known to experience high levels of corruption. We have not implemented, or have only recently implemented, certain policies and procedures for the operation of our business and compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including policies with respect to anti-bribery and anti-corruption matters and cyber protection.

We are subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, and anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism laws in the jurisdictions in which we do business. We will be subject to such laws in other jurisdictions in the future, including, for example, the FCPA. These laws generally prohibit us, our employees and agents from improperly influencing government officials or commercial parties to, among other things, obtain or retain business, direct business to any person, or gain any improper advantage. Under applicable anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, we could be held liable for acts of corruption and bribery committed by third-party business partners and service providers, representatives, and agents who acted on our behalf.

We have operations in, and have business relationships with, entities in countries known to experience high levels of corruption. We and our third-party business partners, representatives, and agents may have direct or indirect interactions with officials and employees of government agencies or state-owned or affiliated entities. We are subject to the risk that we could be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of these third-party business partners and intermediaries and their respective employees, representatives, contractors, and agents, even if we do not authorize such activities. Our employees from time to time consult or engage in discussions with government officials in the jurisdictions where we operate with respect to potential changes in government policies or laws relating to the mass transit ridesharing industry, which may heighten such anti-corruption-related risks.

In addition, our activities in certain countries with high levels of corruption enhance the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by business partners and service providers, employees, or consultants in violation of various anti-corruption laws, including the FCPA, even though the actions of these parties are often outside our control. We adopted anti-bribery and anti-corruption policies in September 2020, enhanced our policies in December 2021 and implementation of these policies is ongoing. While these policies are intended to address compliance with such laws, there can be no guarantee that they are or will be fully effective at all times, and our employees and agents may take actions in violation of our anti-bribery and anti-corruption policies or applicable laws, for which we may be ultimately held responsible. We are in the process of reviewing our compliance program to identify areas for enhancements, and we intend to continuously update and improve its compliance program as it expands its operations into new jurisdictions and becomes subject to a larger number of anti-corruption-related laws. However, there remains no guarantee that any such expanded compliance program will be fully effective at all times.

Any violation of applicable anti-bribery, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, and countering the financing of terrorism laws could result in whistleblower complaints, adverse media coverage, harm to our reputation and brand, investigations, imposition of significant legal fees, severe criminal or civil sanctions and disgorgement of profits, suspension or loss of required licenses and permits, exit from an important market, substantial diversion of management’s attention, a drop in our share price, or other adverse consequences, any or all of which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

We may be subject to claims, lawsuits, government investigations and other proceedings that adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We have been subject to claims, lawsuits, government investigations and other legal and regulatory proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including those involving labor and employment, commercial disputes and tax matters. For more information see “Item 8. Financial Information” under section “Legal Proceedings”.

We expect to continue to be subject to claims, lawsuits, government investigations and other legal or regulatory proceedings in the ordinary course of business, which may involve any of the foregoing matters as well as licensing and permits, pricing practices, competition, consumer complaints, personal injury, anti-discrimination, intellectual property disputes and other matters, and we may become subject to additional types of claims, lawsuits, government investigations and other legal or regulatory proceedings as our business grows and as we deploy new offerings. Moreover, certain liabilities may be imposed by jurisdictions where we operate, including tax liability, which may subject it to regulatory enforcement procedures if it does not or cannot comply.

The results of any such claims, lawsuits, government investigations or other legal or regulatory proceedings cannot be predicted. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, harm our reputation, require significant management attention and divert substantial resources. It is possible that a resolution of such proceedings could result in substantial damages, settlement costs, fines and penalties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. These proceedings could also result in harm to our reputation and brand, sanctions, injunctions or other orders requiring a change in our business practices. Any of these consequences could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Furthermore, under certain circumstances, we have contractual and other legal obligations to indemnify and to incur legal expenses on behalf of our business and commercial partners.

A determination in, or settlement of, any legal proceeding, whether we are a party to such legal proceeding or not, that involves our industry could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. For example, a determination that classifies a driver of a ridesharing platform as an employee, whether we are a party to such determination or not, could cause us to incur significant expenses or require substantial changes to our business model.

In addition, we often include arbitration provisions in our terms of service with drivers and riders using our platform. These provisions are intended to streamline the dispute resolution process for all parties involved, as arbitration can, in some cases, be faster and less costly than litigating disputes in court. However, arbitration may become more expensive, or the volume of arbitration may increase and become burdensome. The use of arbitration provisions may subject us to certain risks to our reputation and brand, as these provisions have been the subject of increasing public scrutiny in certain jurisdictions.

Further, with the potential for conflicting rules regarding the scope and enforceability of arbitration across the jurisdictions in which we operate and may operate in the future, there is a risk that some or all of our arbitration provisions could be subject to challenge or may need to be revised to exempt certain categories of protection. If our arbitration agreements were found to be unenforceable, in whole or in part, or particular claims are required to be exempted from arbitration, we could experience an increase in our costs to litigate disputes and the time involved in resolving such disputes, and qw could face increased exposure to potentially costly lawsuits, each of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Failure to protect or enforce our intellectual property rights could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our success is dependent in part upon protecting our intellectual property rights and technology (such as code, confidential information, data, processes and other forms of information, knowhow and technology). As we grow, we will continue to develop intellectual property that is important for our existing or future business. We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark, service mark, trade secret, know-how and confidential information laws and contractual restrictions to establish and protect our intellectual property. However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property may not be sufficient and may vary by jurisdiction.

Even if we do detect violations, we may need to engage in litigation to enforce our rights. Any enforcement efforts we undertake, including litigation, could be time-consuming and expensive and could divert the attention of management. While we take precautions designed to protect our intellectual property, it may still be possible for competitors and other unauthorized third parties to copy our technology, reverse engineer our data and use our proprietary information to create or enhance competing solutions and services, which could adversely affect our position in the rapidly evolving and increasingly competitive mass-transit ridesharing industry.

As of the date of this Annual Report, we have one patent pending in the U.S. We have no other patent applications filed, or under examination in key global jurisdictions. Our failure to register our brand names or logos in jurisdictions in which we operate could allow competitors to register the same or similar names or logos that confuse potential consumers and/or prevent us from subsequently protecting our names and logos. Some license provisions that protect against unauthorized use, copying, transfer and disclosure of our technology may be unenforceable under the laws of certain countries. The laws of some countries do not provide the same level of protection of intellectual property as the laws of the U.S., and adequate intellectual property protection may not be available or may be limited in such countries. Our intellectual property protection and enforcement strategy is influenced by many considerations, including costs, where we have business operations, where we might have business operations in the future, legal protections available in a specific jurisdiction and/or other strategic considerations. As such, we do not have identical or analogous intellectual property protection in all jurisdictions, which could limit our freedom to operate as we expand into new jurisdictions. As we expand our offerings into new jurisdictions, our exposure to unauthorized use, copying, transfer and disclosure of proprietary information will likely increase. We may need to expend additional resources to protect, enforce or defend our intellectual property, which could harm our business, financial condition or operating results. We may also need to expend additional resources to understand and analyze the varying protections available in different jurisdictions and whether formal protection for intellectual property, such as rights in software, is available, commercially advisable and/or enforceable.

We enter into confidentiality and intellectual property assignment agreements with employees and contractors and enter into confidentiality agreements with third-party providers and corporate customers. There can be no assurance that these agreements will effectively control access to, and use and distribution of, our platform and proprietary information. Further, these agreements do not prevent our competitors from independently developing technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our offerings. Competitors and other third parties may also attempt to reverse engineer our data, which would compromise our trade secrets and other rights.

We may be required to spend significant resources monitoring and protecting our intellectual property rights, and some violations may be difficult or nearly impossible to detect. Litigation to defend and enforce our intellectual property rights could be costly, time-consuming and distracting to management and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our intellectual property. Our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with defenses, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property rights. Our inability to protect our intellectual property and proprietary technology against unauthorized copying or use, as well as any costly litigation or diversion of our management’s attention and resources, could impair the functionality of our platform, delay introductions of enhancements to our platform, result in us substituting inferior or more costly technologies into our platform or harm our reputation or brand. In addition, we may be required to license additional technology from third parties to develop and market new offerings or platform features, which may not be on commercially reasonable terms and could adversely affect our ability to compete.

The ridesharing industry has also been subject to attempts to steal intellectual property. Although we take measures to protect our property, if we are unable to prevent the theft of our intellectual property or its exploitation, the value of our investments may be undermined and our business, financial condition and operating results may be negatively impacted.

Claims by others that we infringed their proprietary technology or other intellectual property rights could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

Technology companies are frequently subject to litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. In addition, certain companies and rights holders seek to enforce and monetize patents or other intellectual property rights they own or otherwise obtained. As our public profile grows and the number of competitors in our markets increases, and as we continue to develop new technologies and intellectual property, the possibility of intellectual property rights claims against us may grow. From time to time, third parties may assert claims of infringement of intellectual property rights against us. We do not hold any granted patents but has one pending patent in the U.S. Competitors of us and others may now and in the future have significantly larger and more mature patent portfolios than have. In addition, future litigation may involve patent holding companies or other adverse patent owners who have no relevant product or service revenue and against whom our own patents (if and when acquired) may therefore provide little or no deterrence or protection. Many potential litigants, including some of our competitors and patent-holding companies, have the ability to dedicate substantial resources to assert their intellectual property rights. Any claim of infringement by a third-party, even those without merit, could cause us to incur substantial costs defending against such claim, could distract management’s attention from the operation of our business and could require us to cease our use of certain intellectual property. Furthermore, because intellectual property litigation may involve a substantial amount of discovery, we may risk compromising our own confidential information in the course of any such litigation. We may be required to pay substantial damages, royalties or other fees in connection with a claimant securing a judgment against us, we may be subject to an injunction or other restrictions that prevent us from using or distributing our intellectual property, or we may agree to a settlement that prevents us from distributing our offerings or a portion thereof, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

With respect to any intellectual property rights claim, we may have to seek out a license to continue operations if found to be in violation of such rights, which may not be available on favorable or commercially reasonable terms and may significantly increase our operating expenses. Some licenses may be non-exclusive, and therefore our competitors may have access to the same technology licensed to us. If a third-party does not offer us a license to our intellectual property on reasonable terms, or at all, we may be required to develop alternative, non-infringing technology or other intellectual property, which could require significant time (during which we would be unable to continue to offer our affected offerings), effort and expense and may ultimately not be successful. Any of these events could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Changes in laws or regulations relating to privacy, data protection or the protection or transfer of personal data, or any actual or perceived failure by us to comply with such laws and regulations or any other obligations relating to privacy, data protection or the protection or transfer of personal data, could adversely affect our business.

We receive, transmit and store a large volume of personally identifiable information and other data relating to the users of our platform. Numerous national and international laws, rules and regulations applicable to the jurisdictions in which we operate relate to privacy, data protection and the collection, storing, sharing, use, disclosure and protection of certain types of data. These laws, rules and regulations evolve frequently, and their scope may continually change, through new legislation, amendments to existing legislation and changes in enforcement, and may be inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with each other. For example, changes in laws or regulations relating to privacy, data protection and information security, particularly any new or modified laws or regulations that require enhanced protection of certain types of data or new obligations with regard to data retention, transfer or disclosure, could greatly increase the cost of providing our offerings, require significant changes to our operations or even prevent us from providing certain offerings in jurisdictions in which we currently operate and in which we may operate in the future. Further, as we continue to expand our platform offerings and user base, we may become subject to additional privacy-related laws and regulations. In FY 2025 we expanded our operations to the UK, and therefore, are subject to the UK General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”). In the future, if we expand our operations to additional countries in the European Union (“EU”), we may also be subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) . (see the risk factor “We face particular privacy, data security, and data protection risks in connection with the U.K. GDPR, and may face such risks if we decide to expand in the future into the EUin connection with the GDPR and other data protection regulations” below). Additionally, we have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, expenses in an effort to comply with privacy, data protection and information security standards and protocols imposed by law, regulation, industry standards or contractual obligations.

Despite our efforts to comply with applicable laws, regulations and other obligations relating to privacy, data protection and information security, it is possible that our practices, offerings or platform could be inconsistent with, or fail or be alleged to fail to meet all requirements of, such laws, regulations or obligations. Our failure, or the failure by our third-party providers or partners, to comply with applicable laws or regulations or any other obligations relating to privacy, data protection or information security, or any compromise of security that results in unauthorized access to, or use or release of personally identifiable information or other driver or rider data, or the perception that any of the foregoing types of failure or compromise has occurred, could damage our reputation, discourage new and existing drivers and riders from using our platform or result in fines or proceedings by governmental agencies and private claims and litigation, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Even if not subject to legal challenge, the perception of privacy concerns, whether or not valid, may harm our reputation and brand and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We face particular privacy, data security, and data protection risks in connection with the U.K. GDPR, and we may face such risks if we decide to expand in the future into the EU in connection with the GDPR and other data protection regulations.

During FY 2025, we have signed a SaaS contract in the UK, marking our re-entry into the European market. As a result, as of the date of this Annual Report, we are subject to the requirements under U.K. GDPR. While we are currently not operating in the EU, future expansion into the EU or marketing directed to those jurisdictions may subject us and certain personal data we process also to the GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679), supplemented by national laws and further implemented through binding guidance from the European Data Protection Board, which regulates the collection, control, sharing, disclosure, use and other processing of personal data and imposes stringent data protection requirements with significant penalties, and the risk of civil litigation, for noncompliance.

Among other requirements, the GDPR regulates transfers of personal data subject to the GDPR to third countries that have not been found to provide adequate protection to such personal data, including the U.S. The enactment of the GDPR also introduced numerous privacy-related changes for companies operating in the EU, including greater control for data subjects (including, for example, the “right to be forgotten”), increased data portability for EU consumers, data breach notification requirements, and increased fines. The GDPR requirements likely apply not only to third-party transactions, but also to transfers of information between us and our subsidiaries, including employee information.

Since January 2021 (when the transitional period following Brexit expired), there are two parallel regimes with potentially divergent interpretations and enforcement actions for certain violations. The European Commission adopted an adequacy decision for the U.K., which means that certain aspects of data protection law between the U.K. and EU will remain the same. However, because the U.K.’s Information Commissioner’s Office remains the independent supervisory body regarding the U.K. GDPR but will not be the regulator for any activities under the GDPR, there may be increasing divergence in application, interpretation and enforcement of the data protection law as between the U.K. and the European Economic Area.

Noncompliance could result in the commencement of legal proceedings against us by governmental and regulatory entities or others. Any inability to adequately address data privacy or security-related concerns, even if unfounded, or to comply with the GDPR (if applicable) or other applicable laws, regulations, standards and other obligations relating to data privacy and security, could result in litigation, breach notification obligations, regulatory or administrative sanctions, additional cost and liability to us, harm to our reputation and brand, damage to our relationships with riders, drivers and corporate customers and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. In particular, under the GDPR, fines of up to €20 million or up to 4% of the annual global revenue of the non-compliant company, whichever is greater, could be imposed for violations of certain of the GDPR’s requirements. Such penalties are in addition to any civil litigation claims by customers and data subjects.

The classification status of drivers that operate on ridesharing platforms is the subject of ongoing litigation and debate in multiple countries. Our business would be adversely affected if the drivers using our platform were classified as employees.

The classification status of drivers that operate on ridesharing platforms is the subject of ongoing litigation and debate in multiple countries. Certain global ridesharing businesses are currently involved in legal proceedings in multiple jurisdictions, including putative class and collective action lawsuits, charges and claims before administrative agencies, and investigations or audits by labor, social security, and tax authorities, that claim that drivers using their platforms should be treated as employees (or as workers or quasi-employees where those statuses exist) of such companies, rather than as independent contractors.

We classify the drivers that use our platform as independent contractors or as employees of third parties in certain of the jurisdictions in which we currently operate. However, in certain of the jurisdictions that we operate, such classifications are based on an interpretation of applicable law, and our interpretation may be subject to challenge. In particular, in Egypt, as the Egyptian Ridesharing Laws (as defined below) do not require drivers to be classified as employees, any challenge to our determination that drivers are not employees would need to be based on principles of Egyptian labor laws. Under such laws, a person is classified as an employee if he or she works in exchange for a salary for an employer and under the employer’s control and supervision. Thus, in assessing whether drivers should be classified as employees in Egypt, we consider, among other things, the level of direct administration and supervision we have over drivers using our platform.

While we believe our classification of drivers as independent contractors in each of the jurisdictions we operate currently (Egypt, KSA, UK and GCC) is correct, we may in the future be subject to proceedings relating to the classification of drivers using our platform as laws and regulations governing the ridesharing industry, labor and employment develop further (or if interpretations of existing laws and regulations change) and as we expand our business operations in new jurisdictions. We may incur substantial expenses in defending such proceedings. If we are not successful in defending such proceedings, we may be required to pay significant damages to drivers or incur other fines, penalties or sanctions. In addition, if, as a result of legislation or judicial decisions in jurisdictions where the employee-contractor distinction is applicable, we are required to classify drivers as employees in such jurisdictions, we may incur significant additional expenses for compensating drivers or making payments on their behalf, including expenses associated with the application of, as applicable, wage and hour laws (including minimum wage, overtime, and meal and rest period requirements), employee benefits, social security contributions, taxes (direct and indirect), and potential penalties. In such event, we may be required to increase our pricing to offset these additional expenses or to discontinue lower-margin offerings or routes, abandon its efforts to expand into new markets or forego other expenditures, such as marketing or hiring key personnel. As a result, our ability to attract new riders and to retain existing riders could be adversely affected and utilization of our platform may decrease. Any of the foregoing risks would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Table of Contents

We could be subject to claims from riders, drivers or third parties that are harmed whether or not our platform is in use, which could adversely affect our brand, business, financial condition and operating results.

We may be subject to claims, lawsuits, investigations and other legal proceedings relating to injuries to, or deaths of, riders, drivers or third parties that may be attributed to us through our offerings. We may also be subject to claims alleging that we are directly or vicariously liable for the acts of the drivers using our platform or for harm related to the actions of drivers, riders, or third parties, or the management and safety of our platform and assets. We may also be subject to personal injury claims whether or not such injury actually occurred as a result of activity on our platform. We may incur expenses to settle personal injury claims, which we may choose to settle for reasons including expediency, protection of our reputation and to prevent the uncertainty of litigating, and we expect that such expenses may increase as our business grows and as we face increasing public scrutiny. Regardless of the outcome of any legal proceeding, any injuries to, or deaths of, any riders, drivers or third parties could result in negative publicity and harm to our brand, reputation, business, financial condition and operating results. Our insurance policies and programs may not provide sufficient coverage to adequately mitigate the potential liability we face, especially where any one incident, or a group of incidents, could cause disproportionate harm, and we may have to pay high premiums or deductibles for our coverage and, for certain situations, we may not be able to secure coverage at all. Any of the foregoing risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We are subject to changing laws and regulations regarding regulatory matters, corporate governance and public disclosure that have increased, and are likely to continue to increase, both our costs and the risk of non-compliance.

We are subject to rules and regulations by various governing bodies, including, for example, the SEC, which are charged with the protection of investors and the oversight of companies whose securities are publicly traded, and to new and evolving regulatory measures under applicable law, including the laws of BVI and the various countries and cities in which we operate. Our efforts to comply with new and changing laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.

Moreover, because these laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations and changes due to the emerging nature of the markets in which we operate, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance becomes available. This evolution may result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and additional costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to our disclosure and governance practices. If we fail to address and comply with these regulations and any subsequent changes, we may be subject to penalty and our business may be harmed.

As a result of plans to expand our business operations, including to jurisdictions in which tax laws may not be favorable, our obligations may change or fluctuate, become significantly more complex or become subject to greater risk of examination by taxing authorities, any of which could adversely affect our after-tax profitability and financial results.

Because we have expansion plans, our effective tax rate may fluctuate or increase in the future. Future effective tax rates could be affected, possibly materially, by changes in tax laws or the regulatory environment, the recognition of operating losses in jurisdictions where no tax benefit can be recorded under the applicable method of accounting, changes in the composition of operating income across tax jurisdictions, changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities, or changes in accounting and tax standards or practices.

Due to the complexity of multinational tax obligations and filings, we may have a heightened risk related to audits or examinations by the relevant taxing authorities. Outcomes from these audits or examinations could have an adverse effect on our after-tax profitability and financial condition. Additionally, various taxing authorities have increasingly focused attention on intercompany transfer pricing with respect to sales of products and services and the use of intangibles. Taxing authorities could disagree with our intercompany charges, cross-jurisdictional transfer pricing or other matters and assess additional taxes. If we do not prevail in any such disagreements, our profitability may be affected.

Our after-tax profitability and financial results may also be adversely affected by changes in the relevant tax laws and tax rates, treaties, regulations, administrative practices and principles, judicial decisions and interpretations thereof, in each case, possibly with retroactive effect.

Risks Related to Our Status as a Public Company and Ownership of our Securities

As of December 31, 2025, our principal shareholders, officers and directors beneficially owned approximately 46.5% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares. They will therefore be able to exert significant control over matters submitted to our shareholders for approval.

As of December 31, 2025, our principal shareholders, officers and directors, in the aggregate, beneficially owned approximately 46.5% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares. This significant concentration of share ownership may adversely affect the trading price for our Ordinary Shares because investors often perceive disadvantages in owning shares in companies with controlling shareholders. As a result, these shareholders, if they acted together, could significantly influence matters requiring approval by our shareholders, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other business combination transactions. The interests of these shareholders may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other shareholders.

Failure to meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements could result in the delisting of our Ordinary Shares, negatively impact the price of our Ordinary Shares and negatively impact our ability to raise additional capital.

On October 31, 2025, we received a written notice (the “Notice”) from Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq advising us that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(b)(2), which requires companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain a mimimun market value of publicly held shares of $35 million (the “MVLS Requirement”), nor we are in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) or 5550(b)(3). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or the trading of the Company's Ordinary Shares, which continues to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SWVL.”

Pursuant to the Notice, and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3), we have been provided with a period of 180 calendar days, or until April 29, 2026 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement. Nasdaq indicated that to regain compliance, the Company's minimum market value of publicly held shares must close at $35 million or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days prior to the Compliance Date, or if we qualify for an alternative continued listing standard, such as having shareholders’ equity of $2.5 million or net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the latest fiscal year (or in two of the last three fiscal years). In the event we do not regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement, or any other alternate continued listing requirement, prior to the Compliance Date, Nasdaq will notify us that our Securities are subject to delisting, at which point we may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. The hearing request would stay any suspension or delisting action pending the conclusion of the hearing process and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the panel following the hearing.

We believe that as of the date of this Annual Report, we will qualify for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market as a result of having shareholders’ equity of over $2.5 million as well as having net income of over $500,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. We are also still actively monitoring our minimum market value of our listed Securities and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement. There can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement.

If our Ordinary Shares are removed from listing with the Nasdaq, it may be subject to the so-called “penny stock” rules. The SEC has adopted regulations that define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price per share of less than $5.00, subject to certain exceptions, such as any securities listed on a national securities exchange, which is the exception on which we currently rely. For any transaction involving a “penny stock,” unless exempt, the rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers, subject to certain exceptions. If our Ordinary Shares were delisted and determined to be a “penny stock,” a broker-dealer may find it more difficult to trade our Ordinary Shares and an investor may find it more difficult to acquire or dispose of our Ordinary Shares on the secondary market.

If, for any reason, Nasdaq would delist our Ordinary Shares from trading on its exchange and we are unable to obtain listing on another national securities exchange or take action to restore our compliance with the Nasdaq continues listing requirements, a reduction in some or all of the following may occur, each of which could have a material adverse effecto on our shareholders, indluing:

| ● | the liquidity of our Ordinary Shares;

| ● | the market price of our Ordinary Shares;

| ● | our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations;

| ● | the number of institutional and general investors that will consider investing in our Ordinar Shares;

| ● | the number of investors in general that will consider investing in our Ordinar Shares;

29

Table of Contents

| ● | the number of market makers in our Ordinary Shares;

| ● | the availability of information concerning the trading prices and volume of our Ordinary Shares; and

| ● | the number of broker-dealer willing to execute trades in our Ordinary Shares.

A delisting of our Ordinary Shares would also reduce the value of our equity compensation plans, which could negatively impact our ability to retain employees.

In addition, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) may determine that the cost of maintaining the listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing.

The market price of our Ordinary Shares and Warrants could fluctuate significantly, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment in our Securities and also subject us to litigation.

The market price of our Ordinary Shares and Warrants is affected by the supply and demand for such shares, which may be influenced by numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

| ● | fluctuation in actual or projected operating results;

| ● | failure to meet analysts’ earnings expectations;

| ● | the absence of analyst coverage;

| ● | negative analyst recommendations;

| ● | changes in trading volumes in our Securities;

| ● | changes in our shareholder structure;

| ● | changes in macroeconomic conditions;

| ● | the activities of competitors;

| ● | changes in the market valuations of comparable companies;

| ● | changes in investor and analyst perception with respect to our business or the mass-transit ridesharing industry in general; and

| ● | changes in the statutory framework applicable to our business.

As a result, the market price of our Securities may be subject to substantial fluctuation.

In addition, general market conditions and fluctuation of share prices and trading volumes could lead to pressure on the market price of our Securities, even if there may not be a reason for this based on our business performance or earnings outlook. Furthermore, investors in the secondary market may view our business more critically than prior or current investors, which could adversely affect the market price of our Securities in the secondary market.

If the market price of our Securities declines as a result of the realization of any of these or other risks, investors could lose part or all of their investment in our Securities.

Additionally, in the past, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have sometimes instituted securities class action litigation against the company that issued the shares. If any of our shareholders brought a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs defending the lawsuit. Such a lawsuit could also divert the time and attention of management from the business, which could significantly harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

We may be subject to securities litigation, which is expensive and could divert management attention.

In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Litigation of this type could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could negatively affect our business. Any adverse determination in litigation could also subject us to significant liabilities.

Future resales of our Ordinary Shares may cause the market price of our Ordinary Shares to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

Sales of a substantial number of our Securities, including our Ordinary Shares, in the public market could occur at any time. Sales of a substantial number of our Securities in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our Securities and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. Sales of a substantial number of our Securities upon any future waivers or expiration of lock-up agreements entered into by our shareholders, or the perception that such sales may occur, could have a material and adverse effect on the trading price of our Securities. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of Ordinary Shares intend to sell Ordinary Shares, could cause the market price of our Securities to decline or increase the volatility in the market price of our Securities.

Investor perceptions of risks in developing countries could reduce investor appetite for investments in these countries or for the securities of issuers operating in these countries.

Investing in securities of issuers operating in developing countries generally involves a higher degree of risk than investing in securities of issuers from more developed countries. Economic crises in one or more such countries may reduce overall investor appetite for securities of issuers operating in developing countries generally, even for such issuers that operate outside the regions directly affected by the crises. Past economic crises in developing countries, including in Egypt, have often resulted in significant outflows of international capital and caused issuers operating in developing countries to face higher costs for raising funds, and in some cases have effectively impeded access to international capital markets for extended periods.

Thus, even if the economies of the countries in which we operate remain relatively stable, financial turmoil in any developing market country could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price for our Securities and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our Securities depends in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If securities or industry analyst coverage results in downgrades of our Securities or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the share price of our Securities would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets and demand for our Securities could decrease, which, in turn, could cause the market price or trading volume for our Securities to decline significantly.

In addition, organizations that provide information to investors on corporate governance and related matters have developed ratings processes for evaluating companies on their approach to ESG matters. Such ratings are used by some investors to inform their investment and voting decisions. Inaccurate or unfavorable ESG ratings could lead to negative investor sentiment towards us, which could have a negative impact on the market price and demand for our Securities, as well as our access to and cost of capital.

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business, and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, shareholders must rely on sales of their Ordinary Shares after price appreciation as the only way to realize any future gains on their investment.

Furthermore, to the extent that we pay any dividends in the future, the ability to offer fully franked dividends, i.e. dividends that come from already taxed earnings, is contingent on making taxable profits in excess of accumulated losses. Taxable profits may be volatile, making the payment of dividends unpredictable.

The value and availability of franking credits to a shareholder will differ depending on the shareholder’s particular tax circumstances. Shareholders should also be aware that the ability to use franking credits, either as a tax offset or to claim a refund after the end of the income year, will depend on the individual tax position of each shareholder.

Our investors’ ownership in the Company may be diluted in the future.

In the future, we may issue additional authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of ownership interests of our present shareholders. Furthermore, we may issue equity awards to management, employees and other eligible persons in the future under our existing 2019 Share Option Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and our 2021 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2021 Plan”). Additional Ordinary Shares issued by us in the future will dilute an investor’s investment in the Company. In addition, we may seek shareholder approval to increase the amount of the Company’s authorized shares, which would create the potential for further dilution of current investors.

The market prices of our Ordinary Shares could be affected by our involvement in a possible, future litigation.

In the ordinary course of business, we may be involved in litigation disputes from time to time. Litigation disputes brought by third parties, including but not limited to intellectual property, distribution partners, customers, suppliers, business partners and employees may adversely impact the financial performance and industry standing of the business, in the case where the impact of legal proceedings is greater than or outside the scope of our insurance. We are not currently involved in any litigation.

There is no guarantee that the Warrants will be in the money at the time they become exercisable, and they may expire worthless.

The exercise price for certain Warrants are higher than our current share price. There is no guarantee that the Warrants will be in the money following the time they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, and as such, the Warrants may expire worthless.

We may amend the terms of the Warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders with the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding Warrants. As a result, the exercise price of your Warrants could be increased, the exercise period could be shortened and the number of Ordinary Shares purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant could be decreased, all without your approval.

We may redeem unexpired Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to warrant holders, thereby making their warrants worthless.

We have the ability to redeem certain outstanding Warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.0025 per Warrant, provided that the last reported sales price of the Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $450 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we give proper notice of such redemption and provided certain other conditions are met. If and when the Warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the outstanding Warrants could force you to (a) exercise your Warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so, (b) sell your Warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your Warrants, or (c) accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding Warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of your Warrants.

In addition, we have the ability to redeem certain outstanding Warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.0025 per Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that the last reported sales price per Ordinary Share equals or exceeds $250 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption, and provided that certain other conditions are met, including that holders will be able to exercise their Warrants prior to redemption for a number of Ordinary Shares determined based on the redemption date and the fair market value of our Ordinary Shares. The value received upon exercise of the Warrants (i) may be less than the value the holders would have received if they had exercised their Warrants at a later time where the underlying share price is higher and (ii) may not compensate the holders for the value of the Warrants, including because the number of Ordinary Shares received is capped at 0.361 Ordinary Shares per Warrant (subject to adjustment) irrespective of the remaining life of the Warrants. Any such redemption may have similar consequences to a cash redemption described above. In addition, such redemption may occur at a time when the warrants are “out-of-the-money,” in which case you would lose any potential embedded value from a subsequent increase in the value of the Ordinary Shares had your warrants remained outstanding.

We may become a “passive foreign investment company,” or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the current taxable year or may become one in any subsequent taxable year. There generally would be negative tax consequences for U.S. taxpayers that are holders of the Ordinary Shares if we are or were to become a PFIC.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) in which a U.S. Holder (as defined below in ”Item 10.E. Taxation”), holds Ordinary Shares, such U.S. Holder may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences and certain information reporting requirements. U.S. Holders are strongly encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors to determine the application of the PFIC rules to them in their particular circumstances and any resulting tax consequences. Please see the section of this Annual Report entitled “Item 10.E. Taxation” for a more detailed discussion with respect to the PFIC status of us and the resulting tax consequences to U.S. Holders.

We will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives and corporate governance practices.

As a public company in the U.S., we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. For example, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and is required to comply with the applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as well as rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq.

We expect that compliance with these requirements will increase its legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. In addition, our management and other personnel may be required to divert their attention from operational and other business matters to devote substantial time to these public company requirements. In particular, we are incurring significant expenses and devoting substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which will increase further when we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) (Please see the section entitled “Swvl is an “emerging growth company”, and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make Securities less attractive to investors”). As a public company, we have been hiring and are continuing to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge and may need to establish an internal audit function.

The estimates of market opportunity, market size and forecasts of market growth included in our publicly filed documents may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the market in which we compete achieves the forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rate, if at all.

Any market opportunity, size estimates and growth forecasts we make public are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate. Net revenue and operating results are difficult to forecast because they generally depend on the volume, timing and type of orders we receive, all of which are uncertain. We base our expense levels and investment plans on our estimates of total net revenue and gross margins using human judgment combined with machine learning, natural language processing and data analytics. We cannot be sure the same growth rates, trends and other key performance metrics are meaningful predictors of future growth. If our assumptions and calculations prove to be wrong, we may spend more than we anticipate acquiring and retaining customers or may generate less net revenue per active customer than anticipated, any of which could have a negative impact on our business and results of operations.

In addition, we are evaluating our total addressable market with respect to new product offerings and new markets. These estimates of total addressable market and growth forecasts are subject to significant uncertainty, are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate and are based on data published by third parties that we have not independently verified. Even if the market in which we compete meets the size estimates and growth forecasted in this Annual Report, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all. Our business is also affected by general economic and business conditions in international markets. A significant portion of our expenses is fixed, and as a result, we may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected shortfall in net revenue. Any failure to accurately predict net revenue or gross margins could cause our operating results to be lower than expected, which could materially adversely affect our financial condition and share price.

Our management team has limited experience managing a public company, which may result in difficulty adequately operating and growing our business.

Our management team has limited experience managing a publicly traded company, interacting with public company investors and complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies. Our management team may not successfully or efficiently manage their new roles and responsibilities or the transition to being a public company subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under U.S. federal securities laws and the continuous scrutiny of analysts and investors. These new obligations and constituents will require significant attention from our senior management and could divert their attention from the day-to-day management of our business, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that could, if not remediated, result in material misstatements in our financial statements. If we fail to maintain a proper and effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to timely and accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result shareholders could lose confidence in our financial and other public reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our shares.

Effective internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures are designed to prevent fraud. Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, subject to accommodations available to newly public companies and emerging growth companies, a report by management on internal control over financial reporting and an attestation of our independent registered public accounting firm is required. As a newly public company, we have previously not been required to conduct an internal control evaluation and assessment. The rules governing the standards that must be met for management to assess internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation. To comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the requirements of being a reporting company under the Exchange Act and any complex accounting rules in the future, we are in the process of upgrading our information technology systems, implementing additional financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures, and hiring additional qualified accounting and finance staff. If we are unable to hire the additional accounting and finance staff necessary to comply with these requirements, we may need to retain additional outside consultants. We may not be able to effectively and timely implement controls and procedures that adequately respond to the increased regulatory compliance and reporting requirements. If we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, including if we are unable to maintain proper and effective internal controls, we may not be able to produce timely and accurate financial statements. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and results of operations could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by Nasdaq, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.

As of December 31, 2025, we have identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting and there can be no assurances that there will not be material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in the future. Material weakness identified is (1) the sufficiency of resources with an appropriate level of technical accounting and SEC reporting experience, (2) a lack of sufficient financial reporting policies and procedures that are commensurate with IFRS and SEC reporting requirements, and (3) the design and operating effectiveness of IT general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

Any failure to maintain internal control over financial reporting could severely inhibit our ability to accurately report our financial condition, operating results or cash flows. If we are unable to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our Securities could decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by Nasdaq, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. Failure to remedy any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, or to implement or maintain other effective control systems required of public companies, could also restrict our future access to the capital markets.

In addition, failure to implement adequate internal controls or ensure that books and records accurately reflect transactions could result in criminal and civil fines and penalties under the FCPA, as well as related reputational harm and legal fees in defense of such investigations. Any of the foregoing risks could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Even if we develop effective internal control over financial reporting, these controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with these policies or procedures may deteriorate, and material weaknesses and deficiencies may be discovered in them. We are working with our legal, independent accounting and financial advisors to identify those areas in which changes should be made to our financial and management control systems to manage our growth and our obligations as a public company. These areas include corporate governance, corporate control, disclosure controls and procedures and financial reporting.

We have made, and will continue to make, changes in these and other areas. In any event, the process of determining whether our existing internal controls are compliant with Section 404 and sufficiently effective will require the investment of substantial time and resources, including by our chief financial officer and other members of our senior management. As a result, this process may divert internal resources and take a significant amount of time and effort to complete, even more so after we are no longer an “emerging growth company”. In addition, we cannot predict the outcome of this process and whether we will need to implement remedial actions in order to implement effective controls over financial reporting. The determination of whether or not our internal controls are sufficient and any remedial actions required could result in us incurring additional costs that we did not anticipate, including the hiring of outside consultants. We may also fail to complete our evaluation, testing and any required remediation needed to comply with Section 404 in a timely fashion. Irrespective of compliance with Section 404, any additional failure of our internal controls could have a material adverse effect on our stated results of operations and harm our reputation. As a result, we may experience higher than anticipated operating expenses, as well as higher independent auditor fees during and after the implementation of these changes. If we are unable to implement any of the required changes to our internal control over financial reporting effectively or efficiently or are required to do so earlier than anticipated, it could adversely affect our operations, financial reporting or results of operations and could result in an adverse opinion on internal controls from our independent auditors.

We are an “emerging growth company”, and any decision on our part to comply only with certain reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies could make our Securities less attractive to investors.

We are an emerging growth company and, for as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may choose to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies but not to “emerging growth companies,” including:

| ● | furnish two rather than three years of income statements and statements of cash flows in various required filings;

| ● | not being required to have our independent registered public accounting firm audit our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

| ● | have permission to delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies;

| ● | have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and Annual Report on Form 20-F; and

| ● | have exemptions from the requirements of holding non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

35

Table of Contents

We may take advantage some or all of these and other exemptions until we are no longer an “emerging growth company”. We could be an emerging growth company up to the end of the fiscal year in which the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering, or until the earliest of:

| ● | the last day of the fiscal year in which we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenue;

| ● | the date we qualify as a “large-accelerated filer,” with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates;

| ● | the date we qualify as a “large-accelerated filer,” with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates;

| ● | the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary after we become a public company.

We cannot predict if investors will find our Securities less attractive if we choose to rely on any of the exemptions afforded emerging growth companies. If some investors find our Securities less attractive because we rely on any of these exemptions, there may be a less active trading market for our Securities and the market price of our Securities may be more volatile.

Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may qualify as a “smaller reporting company”, which would allow us to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements (excluding the exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act) and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. However, as a foreign private issuer we are not eligible to use the requirements for smaller reporting companies unless we use the forms and rules designated for domestic issuers and provide financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). We cannot predict if investors will find our Securities less attractive if we may rely on either of these exemptions. If some investors find our Securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Securities and our share price may be more volatile.

As a foreign private issuer, we are not subject to U.S. proxy rules and are subject to Exchange Act reporting obligations that, to some extent, are more lenient and less frequent than those of a U.S. domestic public company.

We report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. Because we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including (1) the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act, (2) the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time and (3) the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information. In addition, foreign private issuers are not required to file their Annual Report on Form 20-F until 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, while U.S. domestic issuers that are accelerated filers are required to file their Annual Report on Form 10-K within 75 days after the end of each fiscal year and U.S. domestic issuers that are large accelerated filers are required to file their Annual Report on Form 10-K within 60 days after the end of each fiscal year. Foreign private issuers are also exempt from Regulation FD, which is intended to prevent issuers from making selective disclosures of material information. As a result of all of the above, holders of our Securities may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of a company that is not a foreign private issuer.

As a company incorporated in the BVI, we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards; these practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards.

We are subject to Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. However, Nasdaq rules permit a foreign private issuer such as us to follow the corporate governance practices of its home country. Certain corporate governance practices in the BVI, which is our home country, may differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. For instance, we may choose to follow home country practice in lieu of Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards such as:

| ● | have a majority of the Board be independent (although all of the members of the audit committee must be independent under the Exchange Act);

| ● | have a compensation committee or a nominating or corporate governance committee consisting entirely of independent directors;

| ● | have regularly scheduled executive sessions for non-management directors;

| ● | have annual meetings and director elections; and

| ● | obtain shareholder approval prior to certain issuances (or potential issuances) of securities.

36

Table of Contents

We follow home country practice and are exempt from requirements to obtain shareholder approval for the issuance of 20% or more of our outstanding shares under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d). If, in the future, we choose to follow other home country practices in lieu of Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards (such as the ones listed above), our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would have under corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. For more information about our corporate governance practices, please see the subsection of this Annual Report entitled “Item 16.G. Board Practices-Foreign Private Issuer Status.”

As the rights of shareholders under BVI law differ from those under U.S. law, you may have fewer protections as a shareholder.

Our corporate affairs are governed by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “ Public Company Articles”), the BVI Companies Act and the common law of the BVI. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of directors under BVI law are governed by the BVI Companies Act and the common law of the BVI. The common law of the BVI is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BVI as well as from the common law of England, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the BVI. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under BVI law are largely codified in the BVI Companies Act but are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the U.S. In particular, the BVI has a less exhaustive body of securities laws as compared to the U.S., and some states (such as Delaware) have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. There is no statutory recognition in the BVI of judgments obtained in the U.S., although the courts of the BVI will in certain circumstances recognize and enforce a non-penal judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits. As a result of all of the above, holders of our Securities may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by our management, members of the Board or major shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. company.

Our Public Company Articles and the Swvl Shareholders Agreement contain certain provisions, including anti-takeover provisions, that limit the ability of shareholders to take certain actions and could delay or discourage takeover attempts that shareholders may consider favorable.

Our Public Company Articles and the shareholders agreement by and among us and certain of our shareholders (the “Swvl Shareholders Agreement”) contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition that shareholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which shareholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for our Securities, and therefore depress the trading price. These provisions could also make it difficult for shareholders to take certain actions, including electing directors who are not nominated by the incumbent members of our Board or taking other corporate actions, including effecting changes in our management, and may inhibit the ability of an acquiror to effect an unsolicited takeover attempt. Such provisions include, among other things:

| ● | a classified Board with staggered, three-year terms;

| ● | the ability of our Board to issue preferred shares and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without shareholder approval;

| ● | the right of Mostafa Kandil to serve as Chairman of our Board so long as he remains our Chief Executive Officer and to serve as a director so long as he beneficially owns at least 1% of our outstanding shares and his employment has not been terminated for cause;

| ● | until the completion of our third annual meeting of shareholders, commitments by major shareholders to vote in favor of the appointment of our designees to our Board at any shareholder meeting (and, thereafter, to vote in favor of the appointment of Mostafa Kandil or his designee to our Board, subject to specified conditions);

| ● | the limitation of liability of, and the indemnification of and advancement of expenses to, members of our Board;

| ● | advance notice procedures with which shareholders must comply to nominate candidates to our Board or to propose matters to be acted upon at a shareholders’ meeting, which could preclude shareholders from bringing matters before annual or special meetings and delay changes in our Board and also may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise from attempting to obtain control of us;

| ● | that directors may be removed only for cause and only upon the vote of two-thirds of the directors then in office;

| ● | that shareholders may not act by written consent in lieu of a meeting;

| ● | the right of our Board to fill vacancies created by the expansion of our Board or the resignation, death or removal of a director; and

37

Table of Contents

| ● | that our Public Company Articles may be amended only by our Board or by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of not less than 75% of the votes of our shares entitled to vote.

Shareholders may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing original actions in the jurisdictions in which we operate based on U.S. or other foreign laws against us, our management or the experts named in this Annual Report.

We are a BVI company and substantially all of our assets and operations are located outside of the U.S. In addition, most of our directors and officers reside outside the U.S. and the substantial majority of their assets are located outside of the U.S. As a result, it may be difficult to effect service of process within the U.S. or elsewhere upon these persons. It may also be difficult to enforce judgments in the jurisdictions in which we operate or BVI courts against us and our officers and directors. It may be difficult or impossible to bring an action against us in the BVI if you believe your rights under the U.S. securities laws have been infringed. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the BVI or jurisdictions in which we operate would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the U.S. or any state and it is uncertain whether such BVI courts or courts in jurisdictions in which we operate would hear original actions brought in the BVI or jurisdictions in which we operate against us or such persons predicated upon the securities laws of the U.S. or any state.

Mail sent to us may be delayed.

Mail addressed to us and received at our registered office is forwarded unopened to the forwarding address supplied by us. None of us, our directors, officers, advisors or service providers (including the organization which provides registered office services in the BVI) bears any responsibility for any delay whatsoever caused in mail reaching the forwarding address. As a result, shareholder communications sent by mail to us may be delayed.

It may be difficult to enforce judgments obtained in the U.S. in BVI.

There is no statutory enforcement in the BVI of judgments obtained in the U.S., however, the courts of the BVI will weigh in certain circumstances recognize such a foreign judgment and treat it as a cause of action in itself which may be sued upon as a debt at common law so that no retrial of the issues would be necessary, provided that:

| ● | the U.S. court issuing the judgment had jurisdiction in the matter and the company either submitted to such jurisdiction or was resident or carrying on business within such jurisdiction and was duly served with process;

| ● | the judgment is final and for a liquidated sum;

| ● | the judgment given by the U.S. court was not in respect of penalties, taxes, fines or similar fiscal or revenue obligations of the company;

| ● | in obtaining judgment there was no fraud on the part of the person in whose favor judgment was given or on the part of the court;

| ● | recognition or enforcement of the judgment in the BVI would not be contrary to public policy; and

| ● | the proceedings pursuant to which judgment was obtained were not contrary to natural justice.

The BVI courts are unlikely:

| ● | to recognize or enforce against us, judgments of courts of the U.S. predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the U.S.; and

| ● | to impose liabilities against us, predicated upon the certain civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the U.S. so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature.

B. Business Overview

Overview

We are a technology-driven disruptive mobility company that aims to provide reliable, safe, cost-effective and environmentally responsible mass transit solutions. Our mission is to identify and solve inefficiencies associated with low-quality or sometimes non-existent public transportation infrastructure in urban areas that are in critical need of such services. Our technology and services provide commuters, travelers and businesses with a valuable alternative to traditional public transportation, taxi companies or other ridesharing companies. Through our platform, we provide thousands of riders per day with a dynamically-routed self-optimizing network of minibuses and other vehicles, helping people get where they need to go.

We currently serve the customers on our platform through two offerings: (i) business to consumer (“B2C”), and (ii) we also offer enterprise products sold to corporate customers called B2B for businesses, schools, municipal transit agencies and other customers that operate their own transportation programs, leveraging the technology that we use for the B2C offerings. These products include, among other things, access to our platform, use of our proprietary technologies, fleet management consulting and reporting services and use of the vehicles and drivers on our network to operate such transportation programs. We package our B2B products to meet the specific needs of each customer.

Our business was founded on February 8, 2017 by Mostafa Kandil, our Chief Executive Officer, Mahmoud Nouh and Ahmed Sabbah. We launched our first commuter services in Cairo, Egypt in March 2017, before expanding to Alexandria, Egypt the same year. As of December 31, 2021, we have expanded our operations to multiple cities across seven countries, with our B2C offering available in select cities in Egypt, Kenya, Pakistan and Jordan. In January 2019, we commenced operations in Nairobi, Kenya. Namely, in the second half of 2019, we commenced operations in major cities in Pakistan, including Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi, and relocated our headquarters from Cairo, Egypt to Dubai, UAE. In 2020 and 2021, we also launched TaaS offerings in the UAE, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Malaysia. In October 2024, we launched our regional headquarters in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In June 2025 we expanded our operations into the UK and in January 2026 we launched operations in Kuwait.

We are also subject to seasonality in certain sectors of our B2B offerings, for example, our contracts with schools, universities and other educational institutions have low activity during the summer months, which are between July and September of each year within our operating markets. We try to diversify the industries we work with to ensure that our revenues are stable within the year, we do not currently have any single industry that contributes to more than 20% of our total revenues. We are also subject to seasonality in certain sectors of our B2C offerings, for example, during the summer season in Egypt, from July to September, we observe high activity due to more people commuting for vacation.

Our Offerings

We currently serve the customers on our platform through two offerings: B2C and B2B (marketed as Swvl Business), which includes our TaaS and SaaS model.

B2C is our initial core product. Using our platform, we provide riders with a network of minibuses and other vehicles that operate on fixed and semi-fixed routes throughout and between the cities we serve. Riders book seats on vehicles available exclusively through us to commute within a city. Riders can book journeys up to five days in advance and pay a fixed rate, determined based on ride distance and anticipated demand, with the option to pay in cash or by credit card or digital wallet. Riders manage their user experience via our mobile application, through which riders can access and book available trips, track vehicles in real-time, receive an estimated pick-up time, manage payments and access customer support services.

Our consumer services are operated through our mobile application to book rides between pre-defined pick-up points located within or between the cities. Our service is powered by a suite of proprietary technologies that regularly optimize routing, predict rider demand, set pricing and provide a seamless user experience for customers and drivers. We believe that our platform offers a transportation alternative that is more efficient, reliable and safe than traditional public transportation options, at an accessible price point. This has allowed us to grow our business rapidly.

Swvl Business (TaaS and SaaS)

In addition to our B2C offerings, we developed ways of diversifying our revenues and identifying potentially higher-margin offerings. The result is our B2B TaaS and SaaS products, marketed together as Swvl Business.

40

Table of Contents

Swvl Business enables our corporate customers (as well as schools and municipalities) to use our technology and platform to optimize the commute and travel programs they operate for their employees (and students). Since Swvl Business uses technology already developed for our B2C offerings, its development and deployment does not (and did not) impose significant additional research and development (“R&D”) costs on our business. Our TaaS offerings are targeted at companies that do not operate their own vehicle fleets. With TaaS, we offer dedicated routes (for use exclusively by the organization’s employees and students) using vehicles and drivers already operating on Swvl to transport employees and students to and from their places of work and study. Unlike our B2C offerings, pricing, routing and vehicle allocation are fixed in our agreements with each customer, and only drivers that meet the criteria set forth in these agreements are dispatched to operate on the applicable TaaS routes. Our customers typically pay for our TaaS offerings on a per route basis, with pricing determined based on the length and location of such route and without regard to the number of riders on such route.

We have expanded our Swvl Business offerings with SaaS in 2024 and 2025, and will continue to do so throughout 2026. Our SaaS offerings are targeted at corporate customers (as well as schools and municipalities) that operate their own vehicle fleets, with specific services tailored to the needs of each customer. Our basic offerings include access to our dedicated Swvl Business application, which centralizes passenger management, billing, scheduling, data analytics and support functions in one platform. At higher service tiers, we will provide the use of our network optimization and Dynamic Routing (as defined below) technologies as described below, as well as access to our fleet management modules, which will enable our customers to more easily manage their drivers and track their rides. We also plan to offer fleet management consulting and reporting services. We use a tiered cost-plus pricing model for our SaaS products.

As our B2B customers do not pay for TaaS and SaaS services on a per rider or per utilized seat basis, we do not assume any utilization risk on such offerings. As a result, we anticipate that TaaS and SaaS have the potential to be higher-margin offerings, which would allow us to enhance our margins.

Market Opportunity and Competitive Advantage

We believe that traditional modes of public transportation represent a rigid and outdated approach to the needs of the modern world. Particularly in developing countries, existing mass-transit infrastructure often suffers from a combination of being inaccessible, unreliable and unsafe. Urban populations in such countries are often unserved or underserved by public transportation networks. Where access to public transportation is available, many commuters must endure long wait times and inconsistent or delayed service. In turn, commuters and society at large waste hours waiting for transportation. In addition, mass-transit networks often fail to provide a safe travel environment - particularly for women. Overcrowding on vehicles can expose riders to a greater risk of sexual harassment, assault or theft. In fact, the Asian Development Bank’s 2015 report, Policy Brief: A Safe Public Transportation Environment for Women and Girls, found that 78% of women surveyed in Karachi reported being harassed on public transport at least once over the preceding year.

Alternatives to public transportation are also inaccessible for many commuters. In the markets we serve, such as Egypt, taxi companies and other ridesharing companies generally cater to wealthier customers. While more convenient and safer than public transportation, high prices (even with discounts and promotions) may put these services out of reach for many commuters.

Our business strategy is to create new options for mass-transit by occupying the space between traditional public transportation and expensive private options to attract ridership to our platform:

| ● | Reliability: In some of our markets, it is common for public buses to wait at stops until buses are full, resulting in unpredictable scheduling and long delays. Because our vehicles operate through a booking system, drivers know exactly how many passengers will board at a given pre-defined pick-up point and do not wait to collect additional riders. We also gather and analyze large amounts of traffic data in the cities we serve to predict travel conditions, which allows riders to receive estimated pickup and arrival times, as well as track their vehicle in real time. In FY 2025, we maintained an average monthly first station reliability rate of approximately 97.6% (versus 97.2% in FY 2024), meaning that drivers using our platform arrived on-time (i.e., within five minutes of the estimated time) at the first pick-up point of their daily routes approximately 97.6% of the time.

| ● | Convenience: Optimized route planning and scheduling allow us to create and update routes that react to and satisfy rider demand, in contrast to public transportation that operates solely on fixed routes. This means we can ensure that our riders have convenient access to pick-up points. Our application allows riders to make bookings up to five days in advance, and we offer payment by cash, credit card or digital wallet.

| ● | Safety: Safety is an essential part of our value proposition. We recognize that consumers in the markets we serve often feel unsafe on public transportation. We have built our user experience around functionalities designed to increase safety. Our one-passenger-per-seat booking system avoids overcrowding on our vehicles, reducing the likelihood of harassment, assault and theft during rides. Unlike public transportation, the fact that each rider has a unique user account facilitates identification of riders acting improperly, thereby increasing accountability and incentivizing good conduct. Through our application, riders can share their live ride status with others. We also partner with insurance companies to provide in-ride medical insurance to all riders and drivers using our platform in Egypt and maintain dedicated teams to respond to critical incidents. Our driver engagement procedures are also designed to ensure the safety of our riders, including by requiring drivers using our platform to submit recent criminal record checks and drug tests as part of their engagement process. In order to help ensure the health and safety of drivers and riders using our platform during the COVID-19 pandemic, we ran SMS-based campaigns to educate drivers using our platform on heightened safety measures. Further, we have international SOS and incident intervention teams who are on standby during Swvl’s operational hours in select markets to ensure fast response along with the relevant authorities to any road accidents, incidents or disturbances, subsequently, on account of the Portfolio Optimization Program, a security team was built in-house with the same duties and responsibilities in Egypt.

| ● | Comfort: We also differentiate our customer experience on the basis of comfort. Riders are guaranteed a seat, which eliminates crowding and the need to stand during rides. All vehicles must meet specific criteria relating to age, distance traveled, maintenance history and overall condition before being allowed to operate on our platform.

| ● | Value: Our services are priced to be accessible to a large rider base and cheaper than taxis or other ridesharing companies in the markets we serve.

Our main source of competition is public transportation. We strive to harness the competitive advantages of our offerings described above to convert users of public transportation into users of our platform. We also compete against taxi companies and traditional private fleet operators. By offering comfortable, reliable and safe rides at an accessible price point, our offerings aim to attract users of single-rider services by offering a lower-cost alternative that offers a better rider experience than public transportation.

In the markets we serve, the mass-transit ridesharing industry is a relatively new phenomenon, and as a result there are a small but growing number of businesses that offer services equivalent to ours. Examples of such businesses include Via, Flixbus and Shuttl. We believe that the technology powering our offerings (please see the section entitled “Our Technology” below), as well as our early entry into the mass-transit ridesharing space (and the network effects that such early entry enables), have allowed and will allow us to scale our business efficiently, in turn enabling us to create and maintain a strong competitive position in the markets in which we operate.

In addition to our B2C business, we have expanded our market opportunity by targeting corporate clients through our Swvl Business (TaaS) offerings. We believe Swvl Business products offer a comprehensive solution to the inefficiencies that commonly affect businesses (as well as schools and municipalities) operating commute and travel programs for their employees (and students). Many companies rely on large vehicle fleets to compensate for unoptimized and rigid routing. Poor fleet utilization - such as using large buses to accommodate a relatively small number of passengers - drives up per-rider costs. Traditional dispatching infrastructure and the associated administrative burdens, including manual data collection, invoice reconciliation and inconsistencies in records, contribute to costly and time-consuming process management. With our TaaS and SaaS offerings, we compete with other ridesharing companies, such as Via.

We also believe the diversity of our offerings is a key competitive advantage. Whereas other companies in the ridesharing industry focus on one or two product categories (such as intracity and intercity B2C offerings), our offerings include both B2C and B2B offerings, which provide our business with multiple avenues for growth.

Expansion in the U.S. and other GCC Countries

We intend to expand our services into the U.S., with a goal of capturing an enormous opportunity that exists in these developed markets -applying a bespoke approach in each country to ensure a successful rollout. We believe that these developed markets are more attractive for our services, given that these markets (i) have larger addressable Taas/SasS mass transit markets, (ii) higher prices can be charged for the same offering when compared to developing markets which results in higher margins, and (iii) their public transport systems function efficiently, yet still have the potential efficiency improvements. In addition, in developed markets, sustainability is seen as important, and reducing the carbon footprint of transport is a significant factor in decision making. In that regard, governments may provide subsidies for transport initiatives since Taas/SaaS mass transit solutions can potentially help address labor shortages by expanding employee catchment areas.

Our go-to-market strategy for the U.S. includes (i) target expansion in large cities (such as Texas and Chicago), (ii) hire personnel with industry knowledge and existing network for the sales teams, (iii) target contracts that do not demand requests for proposal and proactively reach out to customers directly.

Our go-to-market strategy for GCC countries include (i) leveraging our existing client base in Egypt, KSA, and Kuwait to cross-sell (ii) employing the same sales strategy in place in current markets to those new markets, given proximity of culture, time zone and market similarity, these countries will be relatively cheaper for us to expand into.

| ● | Geographic Expansion: We aim to become the pre-eminent mass-transit provider in emerging and developed markets. Our growth strategy is to identify opportunities for market entry in countries and cities where we can leverage the competitive advantages of our technology and platform. We examine factors such as total addressable market size and average fare per trip to assess whether expansion offers a viable path to profitability. We also review the quality of existing public transportation infrastructure to assess ease of market penetration and convertibility of public transportation users to our platform. Other considerations, such as ease and cost of doing business, as well as political stability, also factor into our expansion planning. We follow a standardized plan for market entry, premised on rapid commencement of operations and building scale across similar socio-economic blocks and regions.

| ● | Continued Innovation: We are consistently working to improve our proprietary technology. As our optimization of demand prediction, routing and pricing improves, our user base, utilization rates and customer experience are expected to improve.

| ● | Category Expansion: We frequently consider how our core assets - our technology, access to a large vehicle fleet and customer base - can be leveraged to generate new streams of revenue while minimizing incremental R&D costs.

Marketing

Our marketing strategy is designed to accelerate growth by targeting high-potential segments through precise ideal customer profile identification and delivering tailored, use case-driven content that demonstrates the value and impact of our solutions. We prioritize product marketing and client education to ensure seamless onboarding and to drive long-term customer success and retention. Our approach integrates account-based marketing, enabling us to develop personalized campaigns that engage key decision-makers within strategic accounts. These campaigns are supported by long-form content, such as in-depth case studies, that showcase real-world success stories and highlight specific use cases relevant to each vertical.

To generate a consistent pipeline of qualified leads, we deploy a comprehensive inbound and outbound marketing strategy. This includes the creation of optimized landing pages for lead generation, designed to capture and convert high-intent prospects through gated content, webinars, and exclusive offers. We try to amplify our thought leadership and brand authority through strategic public relations initiatives, positioning our leadership as industry experts and leveraging earned media to build trust and credibility in both existing and new markets.

Intellectual Property

The protection of our technology, including as described above under “Our Technology”, and other intellectual property is an important aspect of our business. We seek to protect our intellectual property through trademark and copyright laws as well as confidentiality agreements, other contractual commitments and security procedures. We enter into confidentiality and intellectual property assignment agreements with certain employees to control access to, and clarify ownership of, our technology and other proprietary information. We regularly review our technology development efforts and branding strategy to identify and assess options for protection of new intellectual property.

46

Table of Contents

Intellectual property laws, contractual commitments and security and technical procedures provide only limited protection, and any of our intellectual property rights may be challenged, invalidated, circumvented, infringed or misappropriated. Further, intellectual property laws vary from country to country, and we are in the process of transferring our intellectual property from Egypt to other jurisdictions in which we operate. Therefore, in other jurisdictions, we may be unable to adequately protect certain rights in our proprietary technology, brands, or other intellectual property from use by unauthorized entities or individuals. Please see the section entitled “Item 3D. Risks Related to Regulatory, Legal and Tax Factors Affecting Swvl.” Failure to protect or enforce our intellectual property rights could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.”

Data Protection and Privacy

We have made commitments to protect and respect the personal data and privacy of all our external users. Our business depends on the collection, storage, transmission, use and processing of personal data of our users’ and other sensitive information. As a result, our ability to protect such data and comply with the numerous laws, rules and regulations related to the collection, storage, transmission, use and other processing of such data is integral to our operations.

We are in the process of developing systems and processes that are designed to protect users’ data, prevent data loss and prevent other privacy or security breaches. These measures, however, cannot guarantee security and may not be effective against all cyberattacks or breaches. For example, in July 2020, by exploiting a breach in certain third-party software used by us, unauthorized parties gained access to a our database containing personal data of its riders. While such breach has not had a material impact on our business or operations and we have since implemented measures to prevent a similar data breach, unauthorized parties may further exploit the breached information and may in the future gain access to our systems or facilities through various other means.

We are also obligated to comply with all applicable laws, regulations and other obligations relating to privacy, data protection and information security. These laws, rules and regulations evolve frequently and their scope may continually change, through new legislation, amendments to existing legislation and changes in enforcement, and may be inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with each other. Nevertheless, we maintain and provide our users with a copy of our privacy policy, which is intended to succinctly describe the type of information we collect and how we use such information (including restrictions on disclosure and sharing of such information), as well as our security policies and procedures. We periodically update our privacy policy to reflect changes required by law or changes in the way we intend to collect or use information.

For more information on the risks related to data protection, data security and privacy as they relate to our business, please see the section entitled “Item 3D. Risk Factors.”

Insurance

We maintain insurance policies with global insurance providers to provide in-ride medical coverage to all riders and drivers in our Egypt market. We also provide comprehensive health and life insurance to employees in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. We also provide directors’ and officers’ insurance for the Board. We are currently in the process of obtaining other forms of insurance, such as general business liabilities.(Please see the section entitled “Item 3D. Risk Factors-Risks Related to Operational Factors Affecting Swvl.) We have not historically maintained insurance coverage for its operations. We may not be able to mitigate the risks facing its business and could incur significant uninsured losses, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and operating results.

Government Regulation

We are subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate. The ridesharing industry and our business model are relatively nascent and rapidly evolving. New laws and regulations and changes to existing laws and regulations continue to be adopted, implemented and interpreted in response to our industry and related technologies. We strive to comply with all laws and regulations applicable to our operations, and believe that we are in compliance with such laws and regulations in all material respects, other than as described below.

While we are not aware of any material limitations on foreign investment in the jurisdictions in which we operate, we are required to comply with certain regulations related to such investment. In particular, in Jordan, non-Jordanian investors are restricted from wholly owning any project or business venture that involves certain trade, construction or services activities. While we do not intend to engage in any such activities in Jordan, the organizational documents of the entity that currently conducts our operations in Jordan erroneously includes certain restricted activities as potential objectives of such entity. Prior to the Portfolio Optimization Program (Phase 2), such entity was in the process of amending its organizational documents such that we will be permitted to acquire and hold all of the equity thereof. As part of the aforementioned Program, we ceased operations in Jordan. In addition, in the UAE, foreign investors are required to operate via an onshore licensed entity or an onshore branch of a foreign or free zone entity. We have established such an onshore branch and have obtained the requisite licenses and approvals for such branch’s operations. We may become subject to additional limitations and regulations as we expands our operations in the jurisdictions in which we operate and into new jurisdictions, and such limitations and regulations may impair our ability to operate effectively in such jurisdictions.

In Egypt, we are subject to Law No. 87 of 2018 and the Executive Regulation by Presidential Decree No. 2180 of 2019 (collectively, “Egyptian Ridesharing Laws”). Pursuant to such Egyptian Ridesharing Laws, we, as well as any other land transport service company in Egypt that utilizes information technology, are required to obtain a license issued by Egypt’s Land Transport Regulatory Authority (the “Egyptian LTRA”). While companies were required under the Egyptian Ridesharing Laws to obtain such licenses by December 12, 2018, the Egyptian LTRA was not established until June 11, 2019, On December 12, 2019, we submitted an application to the Egyptian LTRA, seeking the required license. In May 2023, we received the first license issued by the Egyptian LTRA under Law No. 87 of 2018, and have since been in full compliance with the Egyptian Ridesharing Laws. The license remains valid through May 2028, subject to remaining compliant with all license requirements.

We are also subject to a number of laws and regulations specifically governing the internet and mobile devices that are constantly evolving. Existing and future laws and regulations, or changes thereto, may impede the growth and availability of the internet and online offerings, require us to change our business practices or raise compliance costs or other costs of doing business. These laws and regulations, which continue to evolve, cover taxation, privacy and data protection, pricing, copyrights, distribution, mobile and other communications, to our offerings and the characteristics and quality of online offerings, among other things. We are subject to the U.K. GDPR and as we further expan our operations in the EU, could become subject to the GDPR. The UK GDPR and the GDPR regulate the collection, control, sharing, disclosure, use and other processing of personal data and imposes stringent data protection requirements and significant penalties, and the risk of civil litigation, for noncompliance. The GDPR and U.K.GDPR have resulted in and will continue to result in significantly greater compliance burdens and costs for companies with users and operations in the EU or UK. We are subject to these costs and burdens under the U.K. GDPR to ensure that our operations are compliant.

In addition to these laws and regulations that apply specifically to the mass-transit ridesharing industry, related technology, the internet and related regulations, our business operations are subject to other broadly applicable laws and regulations governing such issues as labor and employment, anti-discrimination, worker confidentiality obligations, consumer protection, taxation, competition, unionizing and collective action, background checks, anti-corruption, anti-bribery, import and export restrictions, environmental protection, sustainability, trade and economic sanctions, foreign ownership and investment and foreign exchange controls. Please see the section entitled “Item 3D. Risk Factors - Risks Related to Regulatory, Legal and Tax Factors Affecting us.” We are subject to various laws relating to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, and countering the financing of terrorism and has operations in certain countries known to experience high levels of corruption. We have not implemented, or have only recently implemented, certain policies and procedures for the operation of our business and compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including policies with respect to anti-bribery and anti-corruption matters and cyber protection.

As we continue to expand our platform offerings and user base, we may become subject to additional laws and regulations, which may differ or conflict from one jurisdiction to another. Please see the section entitled “Item 3D. Risk Factors - Risks Related to Regulatory, Legal and Tax Factors Affecting Swvl”. As we expand our offerings, we may become subject to additional laws and regulations, and any actual or perceived failure by us to comply with such laws and regulations or manage the increased costs associated with such laws and regulations could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and operating results.

ITEM 5.OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

A. | Operating Results.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations provides information that we believe to be relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition for the FY described. You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

The discussion below contains forward-looking statements that are based upon our current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to inaccurate assumptions and known or unknown risks and uncertainties, including those identified in “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and under “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this Annual Report. Our discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 can be found in our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on April 2, 2025.

We report financial information under IFRS, as issued by the IASB and related interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee. None of the financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Overview

We are a technology-driven disruptive mobility company that aims to provide reliable, safe, cost-effective and environmentally responsible mass transit solutions. Our mission is to identify and solve inefficiencies associated with low-quality or sometimes non-existent public transportation infrastructure in urban areas that are in critical need of such services. Our technology and services provide commuters, travelers and businesses with a valuable alternative to traditional public transportation, taxi companies or other ridesharing companies. Through our platform, we provide thousands of riders per day with a dynamically-routed self-optimizing network of minibuses and other vehicles, helping people get where they need to go.

Factors Affecting Our Business and Results of Operations

We believe that our future performance and success depend to a substantial extent on the following factors, each of which is in turn subject to significant risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in the section of this Annual Report entitled “Item 3D. Risk Factors.”

Our ability to cost-effectively retain and increase the number of riders or employees of our corporate customers who use our platform, and increase our share of their transportation spend.

We grow our business by attracting new riders to our platform (i.e., unique users taking their first ride with Swvl) and increasing their usage of our platform over time. As a result, the number of riders on our platform and their utilization of our offerings are the key drivers of our B2C business. Our ability to cost-effectively attract new riders and retain and increase the use of our platform by existing riders is critical to scaling our business. More riders accessing offerings on our platform and greater utilization drive increased revenue and profitability. We seek to increase both the number of riders on our platform and the usage of our platform through product innovation, improved user experience, and additional offerings.

While we anticipate this increasing level of investment will drive growth through word-of-mouth referrals, we also continue to invest in brand and growth marketing, as well as the use of paid marketing initiatives, rider and driver incentives and marketing partnerships with third parties in an effort to attract new riders to our platform and to enhance rider utilization (calculated as Total Bookings divided by Total Available Seats, over the period of measurement). Once riders start using Swvl, we seek to provide a quality experience and a diverse offering of routes and products to accommodate different transportation use cases in order to retain riders and encourage repeat usage.

50

Table of Contents

We also grow our business by attracting new companies to our B2B offering and increasing their usage over time. As a result, the number of corporates with us and their size (i.e how many seats they require over a period of measurement) are the key drivers of our B2B business.

If we fail to continue to attract riders to our platform and grow our rider base from individuals and corporations, expand riders’ usage of our platform over time or increase our share of riders’ transportation spend, our results of operations would be harmed.

Our ability to cost-effectively attract and retain drivers to use our platform, or to increase utilization of our platform by existing drivers.

Growing the number of drivers enables us to increase the number of routes on our network, thereby increasing the aggregate earnings potential for drivers and third-party vehicle operators while simultaneously improving access and availability for riders. Our ability to maintain and grow our driver base and increase driver utilization of our platform depends in part on our ability to continue to deliver meaningful earning opportunities for drivers and third-party vehicle operators who use our platform, as well as our ability to provide a seamless user experience for drivers that incentivizes continued use of our platform. We therefore continue to invest in developing technology that is intended to not only allow drivers and vehicle operators to maximize earnings while using our platform, but also improves the day-to-day experience for those drivers.

For instance, we believe our development of route optimization technology provides a key incentive for drivers and third-party vehicle operators to use our platform. By optimizing our plans, cross-dispatching across B2C and B2B routes and reducing the amount of time drivers spend moving between routes (as well as assigning routes so that drivers complete their route plans near their homes), we are able to increase the number of drivable routes per day and increase drivers’ and vehicle operators’ earnings. We believe this has contributed to our strong rates of driver retention.

Additionally, maintaining and continuing to grow our base of drivers is critical to delivering a quality experience on our platform. The more dedicated and able drivers that decide to use our platform, the more routes and rides we are able to provide. We also believe this allows us to maintain high quality service and low wait times. Our incentive programs to attract qualified drivers include bonus payments and other incentives to high-performing drivers and vehicle operators.

Our ability to grow and retain drivers is linked to our ability to maintain and increase the number of riders on our platform. We believe that the more riders we have on our platform, the easier it can be to maintain and attract new drivers to our platform. If we fail to continue to attract drivers to our platform and grow the number of routes we offer, riders’ usage of our platform may decrease and our results of operations would be harmed. In addition, when we enter a new market, we typically need to make significant upfront investments to drive sufficient scale of drivers in order to establish a functioning marketplace for our riders, which could adversely affect our results of operations in the periods in which such investments are made and delay our efforts to achieve profitability.

Our ability to successfully develop new offerings on our platform and enhance our existing offerings.

As part of our business, we consider how our core assets - our technology, access to a large vehicle fleet and our customer base - can be leveraged to generate new streams of revenue while minimizing incremental costs. For example, we initially launched with our core B2C offering, through which we connect riders using our platform to a network of minibuses and other vehicles that operate on fixed and semi-fixed routes within and between the cities we serve. We have since expanded our B2C offerings to allow riders to book and take intercity, long-distance trips.

We have also diversified our revenues beyond B2C offerings with our TaaS enterprise products, which are marketed as Swvl Business and which have historically been higher-margin products. Swvl Business enables our corporate customers (as well as schools and municipalities) to use our technology and platform to optimize the commute and travel programs they operate for their employees (and students). Since Swvl Business uses technology already developed for our B2C offerings, its development and deployment does not (and did not) impose significant additional R&D costs on our business. We currently intend to expand our Swvl Business offerings with SaaS in 2026. Our SaaS offerings are expected to be targeted at corporate customers (as well as schools and municipalities) that operate their own vehicle fleets, with specific services tailored to the needs of each customer. We currently intend for our basic offerings to include access to our dedicated Swvl Business application, which centralizes passenger management, billing, scheduling, data analytics and support functions in one platform. At higher service tiers, we currently intend to provide the use of our network optimization and Dynamic Routing technologies, as well as access to our fleet management modules, which will enable our customers to more easily manage their drivers and track their rides. We also currently plan to offer consulting and reporting services. We use a tiered cost-plus pricing model for our SaaS products, which we expect will allow us to enhance our margins.

Our ability to invest effectively in technology and research and development and to successfully integrate them into our business.

Our technology is a critical component of our business proposition. Our ability to provide a seamless experience for our riders and drivers, to effectively predict rider demand, to create efficient, high-utilization route plans and to price our offerings accordingly depends on ongoing innovation and the effectiveness of our data analysis, modeling and algorithms. As a result, we have made, and will continue to make, significant investments in research and development and technology in an effort to improve our platform and to attract and retain drivers and riders, expand the capabilities and scope of our offerings, and enhance our customer experience. We review and target our research and development activities on an ongoing basis based on the needs of our business. We believe that continued optimization of demand prediction, routing and pricing can improve our user base, utilization rates and customer experience, which we believe in turn can reduce inefficiency costs and improve our margins.

Our engineers and data scientists are critical to the success of our business and we will continue to invest in these areas. In addition, we will continue to dedicate significant resources to research and development efforts, focusing on continuing to improve our proprietary technology and developing innovative applications.

Our ability to operate in distinct geographic markets and our ability to expand into new markets.

Our capacity for continued growth and ability to achieve and maintain profitability depends in part on our ability to operate and compete effectively in different geographic markets. Each market is subject to distinct competitive and operational dynamics. These include our ability to offer more attractive transportation offerings than alternative options, our ability to efficiently attract and retain drivers and riders, ride length and the number of routes available on our platform, all of which affect our sales, results of operations and key business metrics. As a result, we may experience fluctuations in our results of operations due to the changing dynamics in the geographic markets where we operate.

Since our founding, we have been able to expand into new geographies and markets. Since 2017, we expanded our operations to 115 cities, however, on account of the Portfolio Optimization Program, certain entities were discontinued and we currently operate in Egypt, KSA, UAE and recently in Kuwait and the UK.

Our ability to compete effectively.

We operate in a competitive market and must continue to compete effectively in order to grow, improve our results of operations and achieve and maintain long-term profitability. Our principal source of competition is public transportation. We strive to harness the competitive advantages of our offerings to convert users of public transportation into users of our platform. We also compete against taxi companies and traditional ridesharing platforms, such as Uber. By offering comfortable, reliable and safe rides at an accessible price point, our offerings aim to attract users of these single-rider services by offering a lower-cost alternative that offers a better rider experience than public transportation. We believe we have differentiated our business from these competitors by building a diverse set of offerings on a transportation network at scale, while upholding our culture and values and creating a brand that embodies a commitment to exceptional offerings and social responsibility. However, we must continue to respond to competitive pressures. Consequently, we intend to keep investing in our platform to attract and retain drivers and riders, and respond to shifts in competitors’ pricing levels, revenue models or business practices. If we are not able to compete effectively with our competitors, including our main competition of public transportation, our results of operations will be harmed.

Our ability to maintain and continue developing our reputation and to promote brand awareness and to optimize driver and rider incentives.

We believe that maintaining and enhancing our reputation and brand is critical to our ability to attract and retain employees and platform users. A core component of our marketing strategy involves focusing on expanding ridership in existing markets while rapidly accelerating brand awareness in new territories. We utilize a multi-channel approach, built on a foundation of digital marketing, to develop awareness of our offerings and expand our user base. We use a digital-focused marketing approach because we believe it offers the most effective means of accessing our target demographics in a cost-effective manner. Our advertising is conducted primarily through social media campaigns and placed web advertisements. We also rely on search engine optimization and application marketplace optimization tools to build and maintain the prominence of our brand. In new markets, we also advertise our offerings through offline advertising, such as billboards and events at public venues (such as shopping malls) where we may host promotional events, giveaways and conduct in-person account activations. We also seek to develop and maintain partnerships with other businesses, such as telecom companies, that allow us to deploy promotions and incentives to the customers of such businesses. We monitor the effectiveness of our marketing spend via several metrics, including customer acquisition cost.

We offer various incentives from time to time, such as promotions for new riders and discounts for bulk purchases or specific trips. We also operate a referral program that offers incentives for riders to refer new users.

The impact of uncertainties with respect to government laws, policies and regulations in the markets in which we operate.

We are subject to a wide variety of laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate. The ridesharing industry and our business model are relatively nascent and rapidly evolving. Regulations have impacted or could impact, among others, the nature of and scope of offerings we are able to make available through our platform, the pricing of offerings on our platform, our relationship with, and incentives, fees and commissions provided to or charged from, drivers, incentives provided to riders, our ability to operate in certain segments of our business, our ownership percentage in operating entities that may be subject to foreign ownership restrictions and insurance we are required to maintain. For example, in Egypt we are subject to licensing and other requirements under Law No. 87 of 2018 and the Executive Regulation by Presidential Decree No. 2180 of 2019, which regulate ridesharing companies such as ours. We have also previously entered into agreements with the Egyptian Competition Authority in relation to the regulation of pricing and offerings in our industry. We expect that our ability to manage our relationships with regulators in each of our markets, as well as existing and evolving regulations, will continue to impact our results in the future. Due to the nascent and uncertain state of the legal frameworks governing the ridesharing industry in the jurisdictions in which we operate, we have not obtained all of the required licenses and permits for certain cities where we operate; however, we are continuously making efforts to obtain such licenses and permits. (Please see the section entitled “Item 3.D. Risk Factors- Risks Related to Regulatory, Legal and Tax Factors Affecting Swvl.) Uncertainties with respect to the legal systems in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including changes in laws and the adoption and interpretation of new laws and regulations, could adversely affect Swvl’s business, financial condition and operating results.

We are also subject to a number of laws and regulations specifically governing the internet and mobile devices, and these laws and regulations are constantly evolving. Existing and future laws and regulations, or changes thereto, may impede the growth and availability of the internet and online offerings, require us to change our business practices or raise compliance costs or other costs of doing business. In particular, if we expand our operations internationally, we expect to become subject to GDPR, which regulates the collection, control, sharing, disclosure, use and other processing of personal data and imposes stringent data protection requirements and significant penalties, and the risk of litigation or other action, for noncompliance. The GDPR has resulted in and will continue to result in significantly greater compliance burdens and costs for companies with users and operations in the EU. As we expand our business internationally, we will become subject to these costs and burdens in an effort to comply with GDPR. In FY 2025, we expanded our operations into the UK market, and thus we are subject to U.K. GDPR and the related costs and burdens to remain compliant.

The impact of uncertainties with respect to our B2B offering prices

We enter into annual contracts with our corporate customers offering, and whilst we employ a proprietary machine learning model to dynamically set pricing for rides and maximize per-vehicle revenue, akin to the models used in the airline industry, due to the long term nature of our contracts being 12 months, we are subject to changes in market conditions and currency devaluations that can expose us to translation risk. Therefore, our contracts are renewed on an annual basis and upon renewal, factors such as current market prices, currency and inflation are taken into account to ensure that our contracts are net present value positive and provide the highest possible margins throughout its tenure. Further, certain components in our contracts contain variable prices to hedge against possible price increases.

Table of Contents

The impact of seasonality within certain sectors in our B2B offerings

We are also subject to seasonality in certain sectors of our B2B offerings, for example, our contracts with schools, universities and other educational institutions have low activity during the summer months, which are between July and September of each year within our operating markets. We try to diversify the industries we work with to ensure that our revenues are stable within the year, we do not currently have any single industry that contributes to more than 20% of our total revenues.

The impact of seasonality within certain sectors in our B2C offerings

We are also subject to seasonality in our B2C offerings, for example, B2C revenues have higher activity during the summer months, which are between July and September, also, for the times where there is national holidays, while B2C activities might get impacted, not significantly, by national holidays or summer months, according to the fact that a good percentage of our individual customer base is university students and the daily work commuters.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

Our revenue consists of two components: (i) a B2C component, representing the gross amount of fares charged to end-users of our platform, not including reductions of end-user discounts and promotions, sales refunds, uncollected cash and Sales waivers (as defined below); and (ii) a B2B component representing contractual smart transportation services for our corporate customer’s employees through ourapplication, which is referred to as TaaS and SaaS, which enables corporate customers to manage their own fleets more efficiently. For further details on our revenue recognition, please see the Revenue details in the subsection “Critical Accounting Estimates” in this Annual Report.

Cost of Sales

Our cost of sales consists of costs directly related to delivering transportation services, which include payments to captains for operating our routes (net of any deductions, including any amount charged to captains on account of breach of terms of service), bonuses payable to captains, tolls and fines paid by Swvl. Our cost of sales does not include any depreciation or amortization expenses. Our depreciation and amortization expenses are almost exclusively attributable to non-revenue generating activities, including depreciation of our facilities and equipment which support our back-office operations and depreciation of right-of-use assets associated with corporate leases.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses primarily consist of personnel-related compensation costs including employee share scheme charges, professional services fees, technology costs, office costs, travel costs, depreciation, insurance, rent, bank fees, foreign exchange losses/gains, utilities, communication and other corporate costs. Our general and administrative expenses are expensed as incurred.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Our sales and marketing expenses primarily consist of growth marketing expenses, offline marketing expenses, personnel compensation expenses and the costs of credits offered to riders for referring new riders. Our sales and marketing costs are expensed as incurred.

Charge for provision for expected credit losses

Our provision for expected credit losses consists of the provision for expected credit loss against trade and other receivables.

Expiration of deferred tax assets

Pertains mainly to the expired portion of our deferred tax assets.

54

Table of Contents

Other income

Our other income consists primarily of recovery of previously written off assets that were not expected to be recovered, or the portion of discounts obtained from creditors on previously recorded liabilities.

Finance Income

Our finance income consists primarily of dividend income from bank deposits.

Finance costs

Our finance costs consist primarily of lease finance charges and interest expense on financial liabilities.

Gain/(loss) on disposal of subsidiaries

This component pertains to the gains and losses from the net book value of subsidiaries disposed of during each year.

Change in fair value of financial liabilities

Changes in fair value of financial liabilities consist of the change in the fair value of the Group’s earnouts liabilities, and certain warrant liabilities.

Change in fair value of deferred purchase price

Changes in fair value of deferred purchase price consists of the change in fair value of deferred purchase price resulting from the acquisition of certain subsidiaries by the Group, such as Shotl and Urbvan.

Change in fair value of employee share compensation schemes

This component consists of the change in fair value of employee share scheme reserve.

Income tax (expense)/benefit

Income tax (expense)/benefit primarily relates to the deferred tax asset created on tax losses incurred by the Company, which can be set off against future taxable income. We have deferred tax asset balances in Egypt and the UAE as carried forward losses from the early years of operation, planned to be utilized against future taxable income.

Loss from the year from discontinued operations

The Group has discontinued various operations in select markets on account of a certain portfolio optimization program during FY 2023 onward, resulting in shareholders approving the sale and discontinuation of certain entities. Some of the entities are still under liquidation and are incurring immaterial administrative costs.

Impact of foreign currency translation

As we have operations in countries with different currencies, foreign currencies have an impact on our results of operations. The main impact of foreign currency fluctuations on us is from the change of value of EGP against the USD.

Table of Contents

B2C revenues for FY 2025 were approximately $3.9 million, a decrease of approximately $0.33 million, or 8%, compared to FY 2024. The decrease in revenue was directly related to the Group's continued strategic focus on higher-margin B2B corporate transportation contracts, resulting in the reduction of certain B2C routes across operating markets.

B2B revenues for FY 2025 were approximately $20.27 million, an increase of approximately $7.29 million, or 56%, compared to FY 2024. The increase in revenue was directly related to the expansion of corporate transportation contracts, driven by the onboarding of new enterprise clients in existing markets such as Egypt and KSA, and the Group's geographic expansion into the UAE.

​

Cost of sales for FY 2025 was approximately $19.81 million, an increase of approximately $6.24 million, or 46%, compared to FY 2024. The increase is due to the significant growth in B2B corporate transportation contracts, which drove a 57% increase in B2B transportation costs in line with the expansion of corporate client volumes across existing and newly launched markets.

​

General and administrative expenses for FY 2025 were approximately $6.8 million, a decrease of approximately $4.3 million, or 39.3%, compared to FY 2024. This decrease was primarily due to a $3.7 million reduction in staff costs driven by the non-recurrence of RSUs charges and Board bonus provisions recognized in FY 2024. This decrease was further supported by lower technology and insurance costs aligning with our strategy of focusing on profitable operations and cutting costs, as we have taken initiatives to reduce costs and entered into new agreements with suppliers through procurement efforts to reduce our operating costs.

Key Performance Indicators and Other Operating Metrics

In addition to our annual consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, we use certain key performance indicators and other operating metrics to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions. These metrics are not presentations made in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered alternatives to, or more meaningful than, our IFRS financial measures. Our definitions and calculations of these metrics may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies, and therefore may not be directly comparable.

The following metrics are presented for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and, where applicable, comparative prior-year figures.

Dollar-Pegged Revenue

Dollar-Pegged Revenue represents revenue generated in currencies that are either the U.S. dollar or pegged to the U.S. dollar, pursuant to official exchange rate mechanisms. For the periods presented, this comprises all revenue denominated in currencies other than the Egyptian Pound (EGP), and the Pound Sterling in the United Kingdom. Dollar-Pegged Revenue is calculated as the sum of revenue recognized in U.S. dollar and dollar-pegged currencies during the period, expressed as a percentage of total IFRS revenue from continuing operations.

During FY2025, Dollar-Pegged Revenue comprised 33.2% of our total revenue, compared to 23.2% in FY2024. We monitor Dollar-Pegged Revenue because a substantial portion of our historical revenue was denominated in Egyptian Pounds, which has steadily experienced significant devaluation against the U.S. dollar. Increasing the proportion of Dollar-Pegged Revenue aims to reduce the Company's exposure to foreign currency translation risk and improve the predictability of U.S. dollar-reported revenue. While certain currencies are officially pegged to the U.S. dollar, pegs may be revised, widened, or abandoned by the applicable monetary authority, and there can be no assurance that such revenue will remain fully protected from currency volatility.

Recurring Revenue

Recurring Revenue represents revenue derived from enterprise clients under contractual arrangements, typically ranging from one to five years in duration. Recurring Revneue is calculated as revenue recognized from corporate contract-based customers during the period, expressed as a percentage of total IFRS revenue from continuing operations. Revenue from individual end-users taking ad-hoc trips on our platform is classified as Transactional Revenue and excluded from this calculation.

During FY2025, Recurring Revenue comprised 84% of total revenue, compared to 75% in FY2024. Recurring Revenue aims at providing better visibility into future periods and reduces exposure to seasonal or discretionary demand variability. We use this metric to assess the predictability and quality of our revenue base and the progress of our strategic shift toward enterprise contracts. However, despite their contractual nature, recurring contracts remain subject to early termination provisions, non-renewal, renegotiation of terms, or customer default. Classification as "Recurring" does not guarantee future revenue recognition or receipt of payment.

Total Sales Backlog

Total Sales Backlog represents the aggregate contractual value of revenue expected to be recognized in future periods from signed customer agreements, plus the estimated value of expected contract renewals based on historical renewal trends of the Company's enterprise client base. Total Sales Backlog is computed as the sum of the remaining contractual revenue under signed enterprise agreements in force as of the reporting date, and management's estimate of expected renewal value based on historical retention and renewal rates applied to contracts reaching renewal within the forward twelve-month period.

During FY2025, Total Sales Backlog was $38.2 million. Total Sales Backlog includes an estimated renewal component that is not contractually committed and is dependent on management assumptions regarding customer retention. Actual revenue realized may differ materially from the backlog amount as a result of contract terminations, renegotiations, customer non-renewal, changes in service scope, foreign exchange fluctuations, and other factors. Total Sales Backlog is not a forecast of revenue and should not be interpreted as such.

Lifetime Value to Customer Acquisition Cost Ratio (LTV:CAC)

LTV:CAC ratio measures the estimated lifetime economic value generated by a corporate client relative to the cost of acquiring that client.

Calculation:

| ● | Lifetime Value (LTV) is calculated as: (average annual contract value per corporate client) × (estimated average client contract life in years) × (gross margin percentage attributable to such clients).

| ● | Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) is calculated as: total selling and marketing expenses attributable to the acquisition of new corporate clients during the period, divided by the number of new corporate clients acquired during the same period.

| ● | The ratio is computed by dividing LTV by CAC.

During FY2025, LTV:CAC Ratio was 25.7x on a consolidated basis; 37.9x in Egypt; 14.9x in GCC & UK. We use LTV:CAC ratio to evaluate the efficiency of our commercial investments and to benchmark the economic attractiveness of our enterprise client acquisition motion across geographies. LTV:CAC ratio is inherently based on management estimates and assumptions, including estimated client contract life, expected retention, gross margin stability, and appropriate allocation of selling and marketing expenses. Actual lifetime value realized from any individual client or cohort may differ materially from the estimates used. This metric is not intended to forecast future financial performance.

Net Dollar Retention

Net Dollar Retention (NDR) measures the rate at which revenue from the Company's existing corporate client base expands or contracts from one period to the next, net of churn, contraction, and pricing changes, but excluding revenue from clients acquired during the current period. NDR is calculated as revenue recognized during the current period from clients that were active in the prior period divided by revenue recognized from those same clients during the prior period, expressed as a percentage.

During FY2025, NDR was 128% on a consolidated basis; 126% in Egypt; and 135% in GCC & UK. NDR in excess of 100% indicates that expansion within the existing client base exceeds losses from churn and contraction. We use NDR to evaluate the strength of our client relationships, the effectiveness of our cross-sell and upsell efforts, and the underlying health of our recurring revenue base. NDR is calculated on an aggregated corporate client base and does not reflect performance at the individual client level. Past NDR is not indicative of future NDR, and results may vary across geographies, verticals, and economic conditions. The consolidated NDR figure may be influenced by mix effects and may not reconcile arithmetically to region-level NDR figures presented elsewhere.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash and cash equivalents raised from our operating cash flows in Egypt and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which partially support the day-to-day business, and from the issuance of shares. Our total assets exceeded our total liabilities by approximately $2.95 million in FY 2025 compared to total liabilities exceeding total assets by $0.68 million in FY 2024. We generated a profit for the year of approximately $1.31 million in FY 2025, compared to a loss of approximately $10.3 million in FY 2024. In addition, we had accumulated losses of approximately $338.5 million and $339.9 million as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. To support our business, we have generated net cash flows from financing activities approximating to $1.21 million and $4.04 million during FY 2025 and FY 2024, respectively, through issuance of shares and other equity instruments. We have used net cash flows in investing activities of approximately $0.42 million during FY 2025, compared to generating $0.58 million during FY 2024.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.4 million and $4.96 million, respectively. On November 17, 2024, we entered into a definitive securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) for a private placement financing with certain investors, including certain members of our Board to purchase $4.7 million of our Class A Ordinary Shares. Under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the investors agreed to purchase 981,211 of the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof at a purchase price of $4.79. The investors in the offering also agreed to execute lock up and leak out agreements, pursuant to which they agreed to lock up the securities purchased in the offering for a period of six

Table of Contents

months, as well as agreed to transfer up to twenty percent of the securities purchased for each ninety-day period thereafter in an amount not more than twenty percent of the trading volume on a proposed date of sale.

On February 10, 2025, the investors exercised their right to purchase additional securities pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and purchased additional 417,537 of our Class A Ordinary Shares at a purchase price of $4.79. Such offering resulted in gross proceeds of $2 million. The investors also agreed to execute lock up and leak out agreements, pursuant to which they agreed to lock up the securities purchase in the offering for a period of six months, as well as agreed to transfer up to twenty percent of the securities purchase for each ninety-day period thereafter in an amount not more than twenty percent of the trading volume on a proposed date of sale.

On November 25, 2024, we obtained a sustainable credit facility with HSBC Bank in the amount of up to $0.6 million (subject to certain milestone conditions) aimed at financing our expansions and pipeline of contracts. This sustainable credit facility enables us to factor invoices with certain customers at our discretion, and we believe this allows us to have better management over the timing of our cash flows. To date, we have drawn down an immaterial amount from this credit facility.

Our cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash held with banks or other financial institutions, and is not restricted as to withdrawal and use. Our cash and cash equivalents are primarily denominated in USD as well as in local currencies of the markets in which we operate.

We believe that our current available cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements and capital expenditures in the ordinary course of business for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this Annual Report. We intend to finance our future working capital requirements and capital expenditures from cash generated from operating activities, funds raised from financing activities.

Our future capital requirements depend on many factors including our growth rate, the continuing market acceptance of our offerings, the timing and extent of spending to support our efforts to develop our platform, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, and the expansion of our business into new geographies and markets. To enhance our liquidity position or increase our cash reserve for future investments or operations through additional financing activities, we may in the future seek equity or debt financing. The issuance and sale of additional equity would result in further dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict our operations.

We have an effective Form F-3 registration statement (File No. 333-279918), filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with the SEC using a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may, from time to time, sell in one or more offerings up to the total amount of $100,000,000 of our Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0025, warrants or units comprising a combination of Ordinary Shares and warrants. As of the date of this Annual Report we have not sold any Ordinary Shares under the registration statement on Form F-3.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.35 million in FY 2025, primarily consisting of profit for the year of $1.31 million, adjusted for non-cash items including the reversal of gains on changes in fair value of financial liabilities of $1.79 million and deferred purchase price of $0.16 million, offset by non-cash charges for derivative warrant liabilities issued of $1.18 million, depreciation and amortization of $0.45 million, expected credit losses of $0.59 million, and share-based payments of $0.10 million. The decrease in fair value of financial liabilities from FY 2024 to FY 2025 is on account of the share price decrease from $6.2 to $1.9 on December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Furthermore, in FY 2025 there was an increase in cash flows used for changes in working capital

of $2.84 million in trade and other receivables on account of the increase in B2B revenue, and $0.66 million in accounts payables, accruals and other payables.

Net cash used in operating activities was $3.57 million in FY 2024, primarily consisting of $10.27 million loss for the year before tax adjusted for certain non-cash items. The net change in operating assets and liabilities from FY 2024 to FY 2025 is primarily the result of a gain on disposal of a subsidiary in the amount of $1.13 million, offset by a loss in change in fair value of deferred purchase price and financial liabilities, amounting $2.43 million. This increase is on account of the share price increase from $1.67 to $6.38 on December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Furthermore, in FY 2025 there was an increase in cash flows from changes in working capital of $2.13 million in trade and other receivables, and $1.48 million in accounts payables, accruals and other payables. Both of these changes are on account of our efforts to increase our cash conversion cycle.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.42 million for FY 2025, which primarily consisted of development expenditure on intangible assets of $0.60 million, partially offset by finance income received of $0.19 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.58 million in FY 2024, which primarily consisted of cash received from sub-lease activities.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.21 million for FY 2025, primarily consisting of $2.00 million of proceeds from issuance of other equity instruments, offset by lease liabilities paid during the year which amounted to $0.70 million and finance costs paid of $0.09 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $4.04 million for FY 2024, primarily consisting of $2.56 million of share issuance and $1.89 million of proceeds from issuance of other instruments, offset by lease liabilities paid during the year which amounted to $0.41 million.

Holding Company Structure and Dividends

We are a holding company without substantive business operations. We conduct our operations primarily through its subsidiaries in the jurisdictions in which it operates. As a result, our ability to pay dividends depends upon dividends paid by our subsidiaries. If our subsidiaries or any newly formed subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing their debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us.

In addition, as determined in accordance with local regulations, our subsidiaries in certain jurisdictions may be restricted from paying us dividends offshore or from transferring a portion of their assets to us, either in the form of dividends, loans or advances, unless certain requirements are met, and regulatory approvals are obtained. Even though we currently do not require any such dividends, loans, or advances from our entities for working capital and other funding purposes, we may in the future require additional cash resources from them due to changes in our business conditions, to fund future acquisitions and development, or merely to declare and pay dividends or distributions to our shareholders.

Capital Expenditures

During FY 2025, we incurred capital expenditures of $10,492 related to leasehold improvements and office furniture in our office in Egypt. Our historical capital expenditures are primarily related to additions and purchases of property and equipment, which included the purchase of fixtures and furniture, leasehold improvements and employee laptops. While we are an asset-light business, we expect to moderately increase our capital expenditures to meet the expected growth in scale of our business and as we expand geographically and bolster our existing offerings. We expect that cash received from operating activities and financing activities will be used to meet our capital expenditure and marketing spend needs in the foreseeable future.

Creditor Settlement Arrangements

From 2022 onwards, we have entered into settlement arrangements with the parties to reduce aggregate amount of unpaid invoices. The parties offered us a discount of 85% of the original amount owed in return for prompt payment of the new discounted amount. During FY 2023, we entered into 13 settlement arrangement agreements, totaling to $18.7 million of discounted fees. As of the date of this Annual Report, we are still having discussions with other creditors for more extended payment plans and liability discount in an effort to re-capitalize the Group and settle all liabilities that existed before the portfolio optimization program.

C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses

We have made, and will continue to make, significant investments in research, development and technology in an effort to improve our platform, to attract and retain drivers and riders, expand the capabilities and scope of our offerings, and enhance our customer experience. We review and target our research and development activities on an ongoing basis based on the needs of our business. For further details regarding our research and development costs, please refer to “Item 4.B. Business Overview” in this Annual Report.

D. Trend Information

For a discussion of the trends that affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, please see other portions entitled “Item 5.A. Operating Results” and “Item 3.D. Risk Factors” of this Annual Report and the section of this Annual Report entitled “Item 3.D. Risk Factors.”

E. Critical Accounting Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue

We recognize revenue in accordance with IFRS 15, which we adopted as of January 1, 2019. We derive our revenue principally from end-users who use our platform to access routes predetermined by us. Revenue for transport represents the gross amount of fares charged to the end-user for these services. Our sole performance obligation is to provide transportation services to the end-users by integrating the use of our platform and a network of captains and vehicles registered on the platform. The end-users are charged for using transportation services (i.e. fare charges, net of the discounts and incentives) and are given various incentives (as discussed below). We recognize revenue when its performance obligation towards the end-users has been satisfied (i.e. when the ride is completed). It is at that point in time that the end-user becomes liable to us to transfer the due consideration.

We evaluate the presentation of revenue on a gross versus net basis based on whether we control the service provided to the end-user and are the principal in the transaction (gross), or whether we arrange for other parties (operators and individual captains) to provide the service to the end-user and is the agent in the transaction (net). We consider ourselves a principal for the transportation services because it controls the services provided to riders.

End-user discounts and promotions

We offer discounts and promotions to end-users to encourage the use of our transportation services. These discounts and promotions are offered in various forms and include:

| ● | Targeted end user discounts and promotions. These discounts and promotions are offered to specific end-users in a market with a goal to acquire, re-engage or increase the end-users’ use of the platform. Because the end-user does not provide us with a distinct goods or services against these promotions and discounts, we deduct the amount of these promotions and discounts from the transaction price when recognizing revenue.

65

Table of Contents

| ● | Free credits. We provide end-users booking intercity routes using Swvl’s Travel platform with free credits to encourage bookings of a two-way trip between origin and destination cities. Under Swvl’s free credit program, a credit is transferred to an end-user’s wallet on our application after the completion of the first trip. that the end-user can then consume while paying for the return trip. Because we provide the discount that is to be used in the future by the end-user, the free credit is recognized as a liability until it is redeemed by the end-user or the validity period of such credit lapses. However, this liability is not recognized when it is immaterial.

| ● | End-user referrals. End-user referrals are earned when an existing end-user (the “Referring end-User”) refers a new end-user (the “Referred End-User”) to our platform and the Referred End-User books their first ride on the platform. These referrals are typically paid in the form of a credit given to the Referring End-User. The Referring End-User is deemed to provide growth and marketing services to us as it provides a distinct good or service against the end-user referral discounts. As a result of this, the end-user referrals are recognized as sales and marketing costs.

| ● | Market-wide promotions. Market-wide promotions reduce the end-user fare charged for all or substantially all rides in a specific market in the form of discounts. As a result, we recognize the cost of these promotions as a reduction of revenue when the ride is completed.

Deferred tax

As we are incorporated in the BVI, our profits from operations are not subject to taxation. However, certain subsidiaries of us are based in taxable jurisdictions such as Egypt and the UAE, where they are liable for tax.

We record deferred tax to provide for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax assets have been recognized by a certain subsidiary of the us on their trading losses where utilization is probable, given that there are probable future taxable profits to offset against these losses. We continuously review the recoverability of the deferred tax asset for any significant changes to these assumptions.

Share-based payments

Our employees (including senior executives) received remuneration in the form of share-based payments starting in May 2017, whereby employees have rendered services as consideration for equity instruments (i.e., equity-settled transactions).

We have issued share-based payment awards, for which the “grant date” was not achieved, due to the absence of a formal approval of the terms and conditions of the grant that reflected the intent of this long-term incentive scheme. The award’s terms, however, included a condition that the employees would be eligible to exercise their vested options only on an exit event occurrence. If an employee leaves the Company before the exit event, the employee could exercise options on a pro-rata basis (based on the length of time that the employee has served since the award was granted). Therefore, the cost of awards is recognized in advance of the grant date, over the period in which services are rendered by the employees, by estimating the fair value of the equity instruments at the end of each reporting period despite the Company’s awards being classified as equity-settled. The grant date was achieved subsequently in July 2021, when the formal terms and conditions were finalized by our Board, which will be communicated and clarified with the employees as part of the exit event. The cost is recognized in employee benefits expense, together with a corresponding increase in equity (other capital reserves). The cumulative expense recognized reflects our best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.

Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of our best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached to an award, but without an associated service requirement, are considered to be non-vesting conditions. Non-vesting conditions are reflected in the fair value of an award. The probability of an exit event occurring is a non-vesting condition and is included in the fair value of the awards, whose charge is amortized over the period in which services are rendered by the employees.

Swvl 2019 Share Option Plan

Our Board adopted the 2019 Share Option Plan, in order to offer persons selected by our Board an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in our success, or to increase such interests by acquiring our Common Shares B. The 2019 Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase our Common Shares B (“Swvl Options”).

Employment Arrangements with Swvl Executive Officers

We have entered into written employment or service agreements with each of our executive officers. All of these agreements contain customary provisions regarding noncompetition, confidentiality of information and assignment of inventions. However, the enforceability of the noncompetition provisions may be limited under applicable law. In addition, we have entered into our standard form of indemnification agreement, in the form incorporated by reference into this Annual Report, with each of our directors and members of our senior management. Each such indemnification agreement provides the indemnified person with indemnification to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law and up to a certain amount, and to the extent that these liabilities are not covered by directors and officers insurance or other indemnification agreement. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. Certain of our executive officers are party to employment agreements with us or our subsidiaries. Please see the section entitled “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions.”

C. Board Practices

Board Composition

On May 17, 2023, our Board resolved to reduce the size of the Board to seven members, subject to a future Board resolution to increase or further decrease the size of the Board.

Our Board is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. At each annual meeting of shareholders, the successors to directors whose terms then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following election. Our directors are divided among the three classes as follows:

| ● | the Class I directors are Esther Dyson, Ahmed Sabbah and Ayman Ismail and their terms will expire at the annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2028;

| ● | the Class II director is Youssef Salem and his term will expire at the annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2028; and

| ● | the Class III directors are Mostafa Kandil, Victoria Grace and Dany Farha and their terms will expire at the annual general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2028.

Directors in a particular class are elected for three-year terms at the annual general meeting of shareholders in the year in which their terms expire. As a result, only one class of directors is elected at each annual meeting of our shareholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms. Each director’s term continues until the election and qualification of his or her successor, or the earlier of his or her death, resignation or removal.

Our Articles provide that only the Board can fill vacant directorships, including newly-created seats. Any additional directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors would be distributed pro rata among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class would consist of one-third of the authorized number of directors.

Director Independence

Each member of the Board, other than Mostafa Kandil, Ahmed Sabbah and Youssef Salem, qualifies as independent, as defined under the listing rules of Nasdaq.

| ● | persons that acquired Ordinary Shares or Warrants through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation or through a tax-qualified retirement plan;

| ● | persons that hold Ordinary Shares or Warrants as part of a straddle, appreciated financial position, synthetic security, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated investment or risk reduction transaction;

| ● | certain former citizens or long-term residents of the U.S.;

| ● | except as specifically provided below, persons that actually or constructively own 5% or more (by vote or value) of any class of shares of the Company;

| ● | holders of Sponsor Warrants;

| ● | the Company’s officers or directors; and

| ● | holders who are not U.S. Holders.

If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Ordinary Shares or Warrants, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner, upon the activities of the partnership and upon certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partners in partnerships (including entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holding Ordinary Shares or Warrants are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them relating to the matters discussed below.

ALL HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS (INCLUDING ANY POTENTIAL FUTURE CHANGES THERETO) TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER ANY OTHER TAX LAWS, INCLUDING U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS OR ANY U.S. STATE OR LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAX LAWS, OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY.

U.S. Holder Defined

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a Holder that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is:

| ● | an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S.;

| ● | a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;

| ● | an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

| ● | a trust (i) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more “U.S. persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) that has made a valid election under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

Adverse U.S. federal income tax rules apply to U.S. persons that hold shares in a foreign (i.e., non-U.S.) corporation classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, we will be treated as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder in any taxable year in which, after applying certain look-through rules, either (a) at least 75% of its gross income for such taxable year consists of passive income (e.g., dividends, interest, rents (other than rents derived from the active conduct of a trade or business), and gains from the disposition of passive assets); or (b) the average percentage (ordinarily averaged quarterly over the year) by value of its assets during such taxable year that produce or are held for the production of passive income is at least 50%.

Because PFIC status is based on income, assets and activities for the entire taxable year and because our revenue production is uncertain, it is not possible to determine PFIC status for any taxable year until after the close of the taxable year. There can be no assurance that we will not meet the PFIC income or asset test for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. If we are a PFIC for any taxable year in which a U.S. Holder held Ordinary Shares or Warrants, we will be treated as a PFIC for subsequent years even if we would not be classified as a PFIC in those years.

If we are treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder held Ordinary Shares or Warrants, a U.S. Holder would be subject to significant adverse tax consequences, including interest charges and additional taxes, on certain excess distributions, sales, exchanges, or other dispositions of Ordinary Shares and certain transactions involving our subsidiaries that are themselves PFICs. A U.S. Holder may mitigate certain, but not all, of these adverse consequences by timely making certain elections with respect to its Ordinary Shares. In this regard, there can be no assurances that we will provide U.S. Holders the information required to make certain of these elections. In addition, certain information reporting requirements apply with respect to the ownership of Ordinary Shares. It is unclear how various aspects of the PFIC rules apply to the Warrants, and U.S. Holders are strongly urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the application of such rules to their Warrants in their particular circumstances.

Special Considerations For U.S. Holders that Acquired Our Interests As A Result of the Business Combination. As a result of the Business Combination, the application of the PFIC tests for the taxable year ending December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Tax Year”) will reflect the assets and income of the SPAC for the period prior to Closing, and our income and assets following Closing. Accordingly, the application of the PFIC test in the 2023 Tax Year could differ from the application of the PFIC tests in other years. In addition, U.S. Holders who received their Warrants or Ordinary Shares in exchange for the warrants issued by SPAC at the time of SPAC’s initial public offering or ordinary shares issued by SPAC (“SPAC Shares”) pursuant to the Business Combination (“Former SPAC Holders”) should consult the Form F-4 section entitled “Material Tax Considerations” and their own tax advisors about special PFIC rules that apply to them as a result of their historic ownership of these respective interests.

The remainder of this discussion assumes we have not and will not be classified as PFIC.

Table of Contents

THE PFIC RULES ARE VERY COMPLEX, ARE AFFECTED BY VARIOUS FACTORS IN ADDITION TO THOSE DESCRIBED ABOVE, AND THEIR APPLICATION IS UNCERTAIN. U.S. HOLDERS ARE STRONGLY URGED TO CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE THE APPLICATION OF THE PFIC RULES TO THEM IN THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES AND ANY RESULTING TAX CONSEQUENCES.

Tax Characterization of Distributions with Respect to Ordinary Shares

If we pay distributions of cash or other property to U.S. Holders of shares of Ordinary Shares, such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, and will be treated as described in the section entitled “Distributions Treated as Dividends” below. We do not expect to determine earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. Therefore, U.S. Holders should expect that any distribution by us will generally be treated as a dividend.

Possible Constructive Distributions with Respect to Warrants

The terms of the Warrants provide for an adjustment to the number of Ordinary Shares for which Warrants may be exercised or to the exercise price of the Warrants in certain events. An adjustment which has the effect of preventing dilution generally is not taxable. U.S. Holders of the Warrants would, however, be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from us if, for example, the adjustment increases the warrantholders’ proportionate interest in the Company’s assets or earnings and profits (e.g., through an increase in the number of Ordinary Shares that would be obtained upon exercise or through a decrease in the exercise price of the Warrants) as a result of a distribution of cash or other property to the U.S. Holders of shares of Ordinary Shares. Any such constructive distribution would be treated in the same manner as if U.S. Holders of Warrants received a cash distribution from us generally equal to the fair market value of the increased interest and would be taxed in a manner similar to distributions to U.S. Holders of Ordinary Shares described herein. Please see the section entitled “Tax Characterization of Distributions with Respect to Ordinary Shares” above. For certain information reporting purposes, we are required to determine the date and amount of any such constructive distributions. Proposed Treasury Regulations, which we may rely on prior to the issuance of final Treasury Regulations, specify how the date and amount of any such constructive distributions are determined.

Distributions Treated as Dividends

Dividends paid by us will be taxable to a corporate U.S. Holder at regular rates and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to domestic corporations in respect of dividends received from other domestic corporations. Dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. Holder generally will constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the lower applicable long-term capital gains tax rate only if (i) Ordinary Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the U.S., and (ii) a certain holding period and other requirements are met. The application of these rules to any Ordinary Shares that are not registered for resale is uncertain and U.S. Holders of such unregistered Ordinary Shares should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of “qualified dividend” treatment. If such requirements are not satisfied, a non-corporate U.S. Holder may be subject to tax on the dividend at regular ordinary income tax rates instead of the preferential rate that applies to qualified dividend income. Former SPAC shareholders should consult their own tax advisers about special rules regarding the extent to which their holding period for Ordinary Shares includes their holding period of SPAC Shares.

Gain or Loss on Sale or Other Taxable Exchange or Disposition of Ordinary Shares and Warrants

Upon a sale or other taxable disposition of Ordinary Shares or Warrants (which, in general, would include a redemption of Ordinary Shares or Warrants that is treated as a sale of such securities), a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Ordinary Shares or Warrants. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Ordinary Shares or Warrants, as applicable, so disposed of exceeds one year. Former SPAC Holders should consult the Form F-4 section entitled “Material Tax Consideration” and their own tax advisers about special rules regarding the extent to which their holding period for Ordinary Shares includes their holding period of SPAC Shares. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders may be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Cash Exercise of a Warrant

A U.S. Holder generally will not recognize gain or loss on the acquisition of Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of a Warrant for cash. The U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its Ordinary Shares received upon exercise of a Warrant generally will be an amount equal to the sum of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Warrant and the exercise price of such Warrant. It is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Ordinary Shares received upon exercise of the Warrant will commence on the date of exercise of the Warrant or the immediately following date. In either case, the holding period will not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the Warrant.

Cashless Exercise of a Warrant

The tax characterization of a cashless exercise of a Warrant is not clear under current U.S. federal tax law. Due to the absence of authority on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise, there can be no assurance which, if any, of the alternative tax characterizations and resultant tax consequences would be adopted by the IRS or upheld by a court of law. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise.

A cashless exercise could potentially be characterized as any of the following for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (i) not a realization event and thus tax-deferred, (ii) a realization event that qualifies as a tax-deferred “recapitalization,” or (iii) a taxable realization event. The tax consequences of all three characterizations are generally described below. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise.

If a cashless exercise were characterized as either not a realization event or as a realization event that qualifies as a recapitalization, a U.S. Holder would not recognize any gain or loss on the exchange of Warrants for Ordinary Shares. A U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares of Ordinary Shares received would generally equal the U.S. Holder’s aggregate basis in the exchanged Warrants.

If the cashless exercise were not a realization event, it is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period in the Ordinary Shares would be treated as commencing on the date of exchange of the Warrants or on the immediately following date, but the holding period would not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the Warrants. On the other hand, if the cashless exercise were characterized as a realization event that qualifies as a recapitalization, the holding period of the Ordinary Shares would include the holding period of the warrants exercised therefor.

If the cashless exercise were treated as a realization event that does not qualify as a recapitalization, the cashless exercise could be treated in whole or in part as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss would be recognized by the U.S. Holder. Under this characterization, a portion of the Warrants to be exercised on a cashless basis would be deemed to have been surrendered in payment of the exercise price of the remaining portion of such warrants, which would be deemed to be exercised. In such a case, a U.S. Holder would effectively be deemed to have sold a number of Warrants having an aggregate value equal to the exercise price of the remaining Warrants deemed exercised. The U.S. Holder would recognize capital gain or loss in an amount generally equal to the difference between the value of the portion of the warrants deemed sold and its adjusted tax basis in such warrants (generally in the manner described in the section entitled “Gain or Loss on Sale or Other Taxable Exchange or Disposition of Ordinary Shares and Warrants” above), and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its Ordinary Shares received would generally equal the sum of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the remaining Warrants deemed exercised and the exercise price of such warrants. It is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Ordinary Shares would commence on the date of exercise of the Warrants or on the date following the date of exercise of the Warrants, but the holding period would not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the Warrants.

Table of Contents

Redemption or Repurchase of Warrants for Cash

If we redeem the Warrants for cash as permitted under the terms of the Warrant Agreement or if we repurchase Warrants in an open market transaction, such redemption or repurchase generally will be treated as a taxable disposition to the U.S. Holder, taxed as described in the section entitled “Gain or Loss on Sale or Other Taxable Exchange or Disposition of Ordinary Shares and Warrants” above.

Expiration of a Warrant

If a Warrant is allowed to expire unexercised, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Warrant. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Dividends paid to U.S. Holders with respect to Ordinary Shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange, or redemption of Ordinary Shares or Warrants may be subject, under certain circumstances, to information reporting and backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder that (i) is a corporation or entity that is otherwise exempt from backup withholding (which, when required, certifies as to its exempt status) or (ii) furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification on IRS Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification). Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability (if any) of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund generally may be obtained, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Certain U.S. Holders may be required to file an IRS Form 926 (Return by a U.S. Transferor of Property to a Foreign Corporation) to report a transfer of property (including stock, securities, or cash) to us. Substantial penalties may be imposed on a U.S. Holder that fails to comply with this reporting requirement, and the period of limitations on assessment and collection of U.S. federal income taxes will be extended in the event of a failure to comply. Furthermore, certain U.S. Holders who are individuals and certain entities will be required to report information with respect to such U.S. Holder’s investment in “specified foreign financial assets” on IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets), subject to certain exceptions. An interest in the Company constitutes a specified foreign financial asset for these purposes. Persons who are required to report specified foreign financial assets and fail to do so may be subject to substantial penalties, and the period of limitations on assessment and collection of U.S. federal income taxes will be extended in the event of a failure to comply. U.S. Holders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the foreign financial asset and other reporting obligations and their application to their ownership of Ordinary Shares and Warrants.

THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION IS NOT A COMPREHENSIVE DISCUSSION OF ALL OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO HOLDERS OF ORDINARY SHARES AND WARRANTS. SUCH HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF OWNING ORDINARY SHARES AND WARRANTS, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT (AND ANY POTENTIAL FUTURE CHANGES THERETO) OF ANY U.S. FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAX LAWS AND ANY INCOME TAX TREATIES.

H. Documents on Display

We are subject to certain of the informational filing requirements of the Exchange Act. As a foreign private issuer, we are not subject to all of the disclosure requirements applicable to public companies organized within the U.S. For example, we are exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that regulate disclosure obligations and procedural requirements related to the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations applicable to a security registered under the Exchange Act, including the U.S. proxy rules under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, our officers and directors are exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and related rules with respect to their purchases and sales of our Securities. Moreover, while we expect to submit quarterly interim consolidated financial data to the SEC under cover of the SEC’s Form 6-K, we are not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. public companies and are not be required to file quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K under the Exchange Act.

The SEC maintains a website at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports and other information that we file with or furnish electronically with the SEC.

ITEM 11.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

In the ordinary course of our operations, we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include credit risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for further details.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that our contractual counterparties are unable to perform their obligations. We are exposed to credit risk as a result of our operating and investing activities. With respect to our operating activities, our exposure to credit risk arises from our trade and other receivables. However, we are not exposed to increased credit risk as a result of a single counterparty and we mitigate concentration of credit risk with respect to our receivables by performing ongoing credit evaluations of customers. With respect to our financial instruments, our cash and cash equivalents are all held with reputable bank and financial institution counterparties.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that our earnings will be affected as a result of fluctuations in the value of financial instruments due to changes in market interest rates. We do not have any material borrowings which are exposed to interest rate risk. We have certain financial assets that generate interest income. However, we are not exposed to material interest rate risk on these financial assets.

Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. We are not exposed in our transactions denominated in Emirati dirham as it is pegged against the US dollar. However, for the transactions denominated in other currencies (i.e., Pakistani rupees, Egyptian pounds or Kenyan shillings), we are exposed to currency risks as these currencies are not pegged against the US dollar. For detailed discussion and sensitivity analysis on currency risk, see Note 3 of our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Other Price Risk

Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from currency risk or interest rate risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market.

We were not exposed to price risk as of December 31, 2025, as we have no financial instruments which are sensitive to market prices.

ITEM 12.DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OTHER THAN EQUITY SECURITIES

A. Debt Securities

Not applicable.

B. Warrants

There were 697,330 warrants outstanding as of the consummation of the Business Combination, consisting of 459,997 Warrants and 237,333 Sponsor Warrants.

Each Warrant represents the right to purchase one Ordinary Share at a price of $287.50 per share in cash. The Warrants are exercisable thirty (30) days after the consummation of the Business Combination and expire upon the earlier of (a) the date that is five (5) years after the consummation of the Business Combination and (b) a liquidation of the Company.

The exercise price of the Warrants, and the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise thereof, is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, including if we (a) pay any dividend in Ordinary Shares, (b) subdivide the outstanding Ordinary Shares or (c) pays an extraordinary dividend in cash.

Once the Warrants are exercisable, we have the right to redeem not less than all of the Warrants at any time prior to their expiration, at a redemption price of $0.0025 per warrant, if (i) the last reported sales price of Ordinary Shares is at least $450 per share on each of twenty (20) trading days within the thirty (30) trading-day period ending on the third (3rd) trading day prior to the date on which notice of the redemption is given and (ii) an effective registration statement covering the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and a current prospectus relating thereto, is available throughout the 30-day redemption period or we have elected to require the exercise of the Warrants on a “cashless basis.”

In addition, once the Warrants are exercisable, we have the right to redeem not less than all of the Warrants at any time while exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a redemption price of $0.0025 per warrant, if the last reported sales price of Ordinary Shares is at least $250 per share on each of twenty (20) trading days within the thirty (30) trading-day period ending on the third (3rd) trading day prior to the date on which notice of the redemption is given; provided that during the 30-day period following notice of the redemption, holders of the Warrants are entitled to exercise such warrants on a “cashless basis” and to receive a number of Ordinary Shares determined by reference to an agreed table based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) of Ordinary Shares.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. If, upon exercise, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in Ordinary Shares, we will round down to the nearest whole number of shares to be issued to the warrant holder.

In accordance with the Warrant Agreement, the Sponsor Warrants have terms identical to the Warrants, except that, so long as the Sponsor Warrants are held by the Sponsor or a permitted transferee, the Sponsor Warrants (a) may not be redeemed by us and (b) may be exercised on a cashless basis for a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient of (i) the product of (A) the number of Ordinary Shares underlying such warrant multiplied by (B) the excess of the “fair market value” (as defined below) over the exercise price of such warrant divided by (ii) the “fair market value.” For purposes of this paragraph, “fair market value” is equal to the average last reported sale price of the Ordinary Shares as reported for the ten (10) trading days ending on the third (3rd) trading day prior to the date on which notice of exercise of the warrant is sent to the warrant agent. In addition, such Sponsor Warrants may not be transferred, sold or assigned by the holder thereof until the date that is thirty (30) days after the consummation of the Business Combination.

ITEM 15.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a) | Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025. Based upon that evaluation, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that, due to the material weaknesses described below, as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. We are in the process of undertaking certain remedial steps to address the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures as set forth below under “Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.”

(b)Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by a company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:

| ● | pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of a company’s assets;

| ● | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that a company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the company’s management and directors; and

| ● | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As described in Item 3.D. “Risk Factors,” as of December 31, 2025, we have material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting relating to (1) the sufficiency of resources with an appropriate level of technical accounting and SEC reporting experience, (2) a lack of sufficient financial reporting policies and procedures that are commensurate with IFRS and SEC reporting requirements, and (3) the design and operating effectiveness of IT general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of Swvl’s consolidated financial statements.

Under the supervision of and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025.

(d) | Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In connection with the preparation of its financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related to (1) the sufficiency of resources with an appropriate level of technical accounting and SEC reporting experience, (2) a lack of sufficient financial reporting policies and procedures that are commensurate with IFRS and SEC reporting requirements, and (3) the design and operating effectiveness of IT general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has defined a “material weakness” as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We have developed and are in the process of implementing a remediation plan to address these control deficiencies, which will address the underlying causes of our material weaknesses. As part of our remediation plan, we started hiring and will continue to hire additional qualified personnel within our finance and accounting functions who are experienced in IFRS and SEC reporting, in addition to starting to conduct training for our personnel with respect to IFRS and SEC financial reporting. We are establishing more robust processes to support our internal control over financial reporting, including sufficient financial reporting policies and procedures that are commensurate with IFRS and SEC reporting requirements. Furthermore, with respect to the effectiveness of our IT general controls, we are establishing formal processes and controls for information systems that are key to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, including access and change controls. If these measures are ineffective, we may be unable to remediate these issues in the anticipated timeframe, which may have an adverse effect on our operating results, our ability to operate its business or investors’ views of us.

For more information on our internal control over financial reporting, please see the sections of this Annual Report entitled “Item 3D. Risk Factors”. We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If for any reason we are unable to remediate these material weaknesses and otherwise to maintain proper and effective internal controls over financial reporting in the future, our ability to produce accurate and timely consolidated financial statements may be impaired, which may harm our operating results, our ability to operate its business or investors’ views of Swvl.

ITEM 16F. Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

On January 29, 2026, our audit committee approved the engagement of Bansal as our independent registered public accounting firm, and dismissed Grant Thornton as our independent registered public accounting firm.

The audit reports of Grant Thornton on our financial statements for FY 2024 and FY 2023 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except for the financial statements for FY 2024 and FY 2023, which contained an explanatory paragraph related to substantial doubt to continue as a going concern.

During FY 2024 and FY 2023, and the subsequent interim period through January 29, 2026 prior to Grant Thornton’s dismissal, there were (i) no “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between us and Grant Thornton on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Grant Thornton, would have caused Grant Thornton to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its reports on our financial statements and (ii) except for the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting relating to a lack of sufficient number of trained professionals with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge to design and maintain controls over the preparation of financial statements, and relating to a lack of maintaining appropriate segregation of duties as disclosed in our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024, there were no “reportable events” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

We provided Grant Thornton with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and have requested that Grant Thornton furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by us set forth above. A copy of Grant Thornton’s letter, dated February 17, 2026, was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on February 17, 2026.

During FY 2024 and the subsequent interim period through January 29, 2026, neither us, nor anyone on our behalf, consulted Bansal regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to us by Bansal that Bansal concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a “disagreement” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a “reportable event” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

ITEM 16G. Corporate Governance.

Foreign Private Issuer Status

We are considered a “foreign private issuer” under the securities laws of the U.S. and the rules of Nasdaq. Under the applicable securities laws of the U.S., “foreign private issuers” are subject to different disclosure requirements than U.S. domiciled issuers. Under Nasdaq’s rules, a “foreign private issuer” is subject to less stringent corporate governance and compliance requirements and subject to certain exceptions, Nasdaq permits a “foreign private issuer” to follow its home country’s practice in lieu of the listing requirements of Nasdaq. Accordingly, our shareholders may not receive the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements.

As permitted by Nasdaq Rule 5615(a)(3)(A), we follow home country practice in lieu of Nasdaq corporate governance requirements with respect to Nasdaq Rule 5635(d). Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) generally provides that shareholder approval is required of U.S. domestic companies listed on Nasdaq prior to issuance (or potential issuance) of securities equaling 20% or more of the company’s shares or voting power for less than a price that is the lower of (i) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement or (ii) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) of the shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement. The BVI do not require shareholder approval prior to such issuances. We, therefore, are not required to obtain such shareholder approval prior to entering into a transaction with the potential to issue securities as described above. Specifically, we follow home country practice and are exempt from the requirements to obtain shareholder approval for the issuance of 20% or more of our outstanding ordinary shares under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d).

We intend to take all actions necessary for us to maintain compliance as a foreign private issuer under the applicable corporate governance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the rules adopted by the SEC and the Nasdaq corporate governance rules and listing standards.

Table of Contents

Because we are a foreign private issuer, our directors and senior management are not subject to short-swing profit and insider trading reporting obligations under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. They are, however, be subject to the obligations to report changes in share ownership under Section 13 of the Exchange Act and related SEC rules.

ITEM 16H. Mine Safety Disclosure.

Not applicable.

ITEM 16I. Disclosure Regarding Foreign Jurisdictions that Prevent Inspections.

Not applicable.

ITEM 16J. Insider Trading Policies

Our Insider Trading Policy (the “Insider Trading Policy”), governs the purchase, sale and other transactions in our Securities that applies to our directors, officers, employees, consultants, contractors, agents and others acting on behalf of the Company (the “Covered Individuals”, and each a “Covered Individual”), as well as to the Company itself.

The Insider Trading Policy prohibits, among other things, insider trading and certain speculative transactions in our Securities, including trading on inside information, trading during blackout periods, pre-clearance for designated persons, additional prohibited transactions, certain exceptions, confidentiality policy and the consequences of insider trading violations. According to the Insider Trading Policy, each Covered Individuals has an obligation to become familiar with and to comply with the Insider Trading Policy, as well as any other policies and procedure applicable to that Covered Individual.

We believe that the Insider Trading Policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with applicable insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and listing standards applicable to the Company. A copy of our Insider Trading Policy is attached as Exhibit 11.1 to this Annual Report. The information called for by this Item is set forth in Exhibit 11.1 to this Annual Report and is incorporated by reference into this Annual Report.

ITEM 16K. Cybersecurity

Our Board and senior management recognize the critical importance of maintaining the trust and confidence of our clients, business partners and employees. Our management, led by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is actively involved in the oversight of our risk management efforts, and cybersecurity represents an important component of the Company’s overall approach to enterprise risk management (“ERM”). Our cybersecurity processes and practices are fully integrated into the Company’s ERM efforts. In general, we seek to address cybersecurity risks through a cross-functional approach that is focused on preserving the confidentiality, security and availability of the information that we collect and store by identifying, preventing and mitigating cybersecurity threats and effectively responding to cybersecurity incidents when they occur.

The responsibility for assessing and managing risks from cybersecurity threats primarily rests with the Head of Engineering. Head of Engineering plays a pivotal role in ensuring the security and resilience of our systems and data against cyber threats as he possesses a deep understanding of our technological infrastructure, software development processes, and inherent security requirements. Our Engineering and IT Team follows the below Cybersecurity policy:

Brief & Purpose

Our cyber security outlines the guidelines for limiting and managing the risk of security related incidents that would impact our customers, data and technology infrastructure.

While we continue to implement technical solutions, cyber security practices and alerts to improve our response to any potential cyber security risk, it’s still important to address the most common weakest link in any security platform; the human factor.

Scope

This policy applies to all of our employees, vendors, suppliers, and anyone who has permanent or temporary access to our systems, offices and hardware across the globe in any of our physical hubs or remotely.

​

Disciplinary Action

We recognize that the price of learning is mistakes. However, continued behavior that compromises the security of our customers and organization is not accepted or tolerated. Employees who fail to adhere to this policy may face disciplinary action:

| ◾ | First-time, unintentional, small-scale breach of policy:

A verbal warning shall be issued along with the necessary security training.

| ◾ | Intentional, repeated or large-scale breach of policy:

Severe disciplinary action up to and including termination, as well as legal litigation.

Risk Management and Strategy

As one of the critical elements of our overall ERM approach, our cybersecurity efforts are focused on the following key areas:

| ● | Governance: Management oversees cybersecurity risk mitigation and reports to the Board any cybersecurity incidents. Further, our Audit Committee periodically discusses cybersecurity. Our engineering management has prior work experience in cybersecurity and possess relevant degrees and certifications.

| ● | Collaborative Approach: We have implemented a cross-functional approach to identifying, preventing and mitigating cybersecurity threats and incidents, while also implementing controls and procedures that provide for the prompt escalation of certain cybersecurity incidents so that decisions regarding the public disclosure and reporting of such incidents can be made by management in a timely manner.

| ● | Technical Safeguards: We deploy technical safeguards that are designed to protect our information systems from cybersecurity threats, including firewalls, intrusion prevention and detection systems, anti-malware functionality and access controls, which are evaluated and improved through vulnerability assessments and cybersecurity threat intelligence.

Third parties also play a role in our cybersecurity. We engage third-party service providers to conduct evaluations of our security controls, independent audits or consulting on best practices to address new challenges.

While we have experienced cybersecurity threats in the past in the normal course of business and expect to continue to experience such threats from time to time, to date, none have had or are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Even with the approach we take to cybersecurity, we may not be successful in preventing or mitigating a cybersecurity incident that could have a material adverse effect on us.

Swvl Holdings Corp

Opinion on the consolidated financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Swvl Holdings Corp (the “Parent Company”) and its subsidiaries (together the “Group”) as of December 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2025 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by International Accounting Standards Board.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Group will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statement, the Group incurred a net profit of $1,312,722 (a net loss of $10,269,693 for the year ended 31 December, 2024) during the year ended December 31, 2025, and as of that date, the Group’s accumulated losses are $338,532,319 ($339,845,041 as of 31 December 2024) and has negative operating cash flows of $2,138,865 ($3,565,317 for the year ended 31 December 2024). These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2.2, raise substantial doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2.2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty, as the managament is confident as mentioned in the aforesaid note that it will be able to meet the liability & operating expenses in the next twelve months from the date of signing the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Basis for opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Group’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Group’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Group in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Group is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The financial statements as of December 31, 2024, in respect of Statement of comprehensive income , changes in equity and Cash Flows for each of the two years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were audited by predecessor auditors whose report dated April 1, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

Critical Audit Matters

​

| ​ |
Item Description | Principal considerations that led us to determine that this matter is a critical audit matter | How we addressed it
Capitalisation of Internally Generated Intangible Assets (Under Development) | We identified the capitalisation of internally generated intangible assets under development as a critical audit matter because the assessment of whether development expenditures met the recognition criteria under IAS 38 involved especially challenging and subjective and complex judgment. Significant judgment was required in evaluating management’s assessment of the technical feasibility of the projects, its intention and ability to complete the assets and use them for the benefit of the Company, the probability of future economic benefits, and whether the expenditures capitalised, including employee-related costs, were directly attributable to the development activities. The matter also required a high degree of auditor effort in assessing project documentation, approvals, and the basis for allocation of labour and other directly attributable costs. | ● We evaluated management’s assessment against the requirements of IAS 38 to determine whether the capitalised development costs met the relevant recognition criteria. ● We inspected supporting documentation to assess whether management had performed feasibility assessments and demonstrated the intention and ability to complete the projects and use the resulting assets for the benefit of the Company. ● We verified that appropriate approvals and supporting documentation existed for the planned capital expenditure relating to the projects. ● We tested the nature of costs capitalised to assess whether only directly attributable development expenditures were included in accordance with IAS 38. ● We obtained and reviewed employee time logs and related records for personnel working on the projects to evaluate whether labour costs were accurately tracked, allocated, and directly attributable to the development of the intangible assets. ● We assessed the adequacy of the related disclosures in the financial statements.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 20-F, the Group incurred a net loss of $10,269,693 for the year ended December 31, 2024, and as of that date, the Group’s accumulated losses was $339,845,041 and had negative operating cash flows of $3,565,317. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2.2, raised substantial doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters were also described in Note 2.2. The financial statements did not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Group’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Group’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Group in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Group is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

as of 31 December 2025

1 | Establishment and operations

Swvl Holdings Corp (the “Parent Company”) (formerly known as “Pivotal Holdings Corp”) is a business company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and was registered on 23 July 2021. The registered office of the Company is at P.O. Box 173, Kingston Chambers, Road Town, Tortola, the British Virgin Islands.

The consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2025 consist of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”). The Group’s principal head office is located in The Offices 4, One Central, Dubai World Trade Centre, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Swvl Inc. was founded on 17 May 2017. Swvl Holdings Corp was incorporated as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Swvl Inc. As a result of various legal entity reorganization transactions undertaken in March 2022, Swvl Holdings Corp became the holding company of the Group, and the then-shareholders of Swvl Inc. became the shareholders of Swvl Holdings Corp. For financial reporting purposes, Swvl Inc. is the predecessor of Swvl Holdings Corp.

The Group operates multimodal transportation networks that offer access to transportation options through the Group’s platform and mobile-based application. The Group also licenses its technology to transport operators to manage their service. The Group operates a technology platform that uses a widespread transportation network. The Group uses leading technology, operational excellence and product expertise to operate transportation services on predetermined routes. The Group develops and operates proprietary technology applications supporting a variety of offerings on its platform (“platform(s)” or “Platform(s)”). The Group provides transportation services through contracting with other service providers (or transportation operators). Riders are collectively referred to as “end-user(s)” or “consumer(s)”. The drivers are referred to as “captain(s)”.

1.1 | Reverse recapitalization

On 28 July 2021, the Parent Company and Queen’s Gambit Growth Capital, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (the “SPAC”) listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”), and certain other parties have entered into a definitive agreement for a business combination that would result in the Group becoming a publicly listed company upon completion of the aforementioned transaction.

On 31 March 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Parent Company consummated the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated as of 28 July 2021, as amended, between Swvl Inc., Queen’s Gambit Growth Capital and other merger companies.

As a result of the mergers and the other transactions (the “Transaction”) contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the merged Queen’s Gambit Surviving Company and Swvl Inc. each became wholly owned subsidiaries of the Parent Company, and the securityholders of the SPAC and Swvl Inc. became securityholders of the Parent Company.

In certain cases, the Group is required to have a resident as one of the shareholders besides the Parent Company to comply with local laws and regulations. However, in such cases, the Group continues to remain the economic beneficiary of the shareholding held by such resident shareholder and therefore is said to have a “beneficial ownership” of such non-controlling interests, except as indicated. Legal ownership and beneficial ownership are the same except as indicated below.

(i) | The Parent Company’s subsidiary’s Swvl for Mobility Solutions FZE and Smart Mobility Solutions for Transportation Services were incorporated during the year ended 31 December 2024. The subsidiaries are currently legally owned by a member of the Group’s management and are in the process of a legal ownership transfer to the Group. The subsidiaries have been consolidated based on the beneficial ownership and effective control.

(ii) | The Parent Company’s subsidiary Smart Way Transportation LLC was incorporated during the year ended 31 December 2021. The subsidiary is currently legally owned by a member of the Group’s management. During 2022, the Group’s board of directors resolved to discontinue the subsidiary’s operations (Note 30). As of 31 December 2025, the company is still in liquidation process. The subsidiary has been consolidated based on the beneficial ownership and effective control.

(iii) | The Parent Company’s subsidiary Swvl for Smart Transport Applications and Services LLC is owned 0.02% by a member of Group’s management, as the nominee for the Company, the Group does not have any non-controlling interest related to this ownership.

2 | Material accounting policies

The principal accounting policies applied by the Group in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below.

2.1 | Basis of preparation

| i) | Compliance with IFRS

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). These consolidated financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors on March 31, 2026.

2.1 | Basis of preparation (continued)

| i) | Compliance with IFRS (continued)

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of complexity, or areas where judgements, assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.

2.1 | Basis of preparation (continued)

​

| ii) | Historical cost convention

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the following:

| ● | Certain financial assets, amounts in deferred purchase price, derivative warrant liabilities, and earnouts liabilities that are measured at fair value; and,

| ● | Income and expenses that have been accounted for using the accrual basis.

The consolidated financial statements have been presented in US Dollars (“USD”, “$”) which is the reporting currency of the Group.

2.2 | Going concern

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Group will be able to discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Group had net profit of $1.31 million from continued operations and profit of $1.31 million after including discontinued operations (net loss of $11.1 million and $10.27 million respectively for the year ended 31 December 2024), accumulated losses of $338.5 million as of 31 December 2025 ($339.8 million as of 31 December 2024), and negative operating cash flows of $2.14 million for the year ended 31 December 2025 (negative of $3.57 million for the year ended 31 December 2024).

The Group supports its expenditures by the cash flow generated from operations, and from raising funds through the issuance of new shares or similar instruments. The Group’s management acknowledge that there is a risk that the amount and timing of cash flows may not be achievable in line with the twelve months forecast from the date of approval of the consolidated financial statements. Hence, a review of the strategic plan, budget, commercial achievements and other macro-economic factors were considered.

2 | Material accounting policies (continued)

2.2 | Going concern (continued)

Based on the Group’s current cash balance, monthly expenditure, management’s forecast, working capital surplus, access to additional funding, and operations in KSA, UAE and Egypt, we anticipate that we will be able to sufficiently discharge our liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

Notwithstanding these results, management believes there are no events or conditions that give rise to doubt the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months after the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, we did not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, the amounts and classification of liabilities, or any other adjustments that might result in the event the Group is unable to continue as a going concern.

Management has performed a going concern assessment for a period of twelve months from the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements to assess whether conditions exist that raise substantial doubt regarding the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management has assumed growth rates through the twelve months following the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements based on (i) historical data, (ii) the operational results subsequent to the financial reporting date up to the date of the assessment, and (iii) sales projections and strategic operational expansion plans within existing markets. This assessment indicates that the Group has sufficient liquidity to settle liabilities as they become due for the next twelve months.

Based on the above facts, management believes that they will be successful in maintaining existing markets as self-sufficient, cash generating operational units with positive working capital and executing the planned strategy to meet working capital and capital expenditure requirements that may fall for the next twelve months after the approval of the consolidated financial statements. Based on this, management believes that it remains appropriate to prepare these consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.

The amendments listed above have been published but are not mandatory for 31 December 2025 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. These amendments are not expected to have any material impact, other than IFRS 18, which will have a material impact on the financial statements.The Group is currently working to identify the impacts IFRS 18 will have on the financial statements and its notes.

2.4 | Basis of consolidation

i) | Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity where the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns

through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.

ii)Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Profits and losses resulting from inter-company transactions that are recognised in assets are also eliminated. Consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances.

2.5 | Foreign currencies

i) | Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’).

Subsidiaries determine their own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of these companies are measured using that functional currency. These consolidated financial statements are presented in USD which is the Group’s presentation currency. All financial information presented in USD has been rounded to the nearest dollar, except when otherwise indicated.

ii) | Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currency of Group entities at the spot exchange rates at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency at the spot exchange rate at that date.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the spot exchange rate at the date on which the fair value is determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the spot exchange rate at the date of the historical transaction. Foreign currency differences arising on translation are generally recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

iii) | Group companies

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to USD at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of profit or loss are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or an appropriate average rate. Equity elements are translated at the date of the transaction and not retranslated in subsequent periods. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of OCI relating to that particular foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss.

2.6 | Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale and discontinued operations

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from employee benefits, financial assets and investment property that are carried at fair value and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from this requirement.

The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable, and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the plan to sell the asset and the sale expected to be completed within one year from the date of the classification.

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the noncurrent asset (or disposal group) is recognised at the date of derecognition.

Non-current assets (including those that are part of a disposal group) are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised.

Non-current assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the consolidated financial statements. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.

A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

2.7 | Property and equipment

Recognition and measurement

Items of property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Capital work in progress is stated at cost and subsequently transferred to assets when it is available for use. Cost of an item of property and equipment comprises its acquisition cost including borrowing costs and all directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to working conditions for its intended use. Such costs include the cost of replacing part of the property and equipment when that cost is incurred, if the recognition criteria are met. Repair and maintenance costs are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of assets as follows:

​

​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ ​ ​ | Years
Furniture, fittings and equipment |  | 3 – 5
Leasehold improvements |  | 5

​

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each financial year end to determine whether there is an indication of impairment. If any such indicator exists, an impairment loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units).

2.7 | Property and equipment (continued)

Recognition and measurement (continued)

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, as detailed in the impairment section of this note below.

An item of property and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the year the asset is derecognised.

Subsequent costs

The cost of replacing part of an item of property or equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property and equipment are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as incurred. Subsequently, any gains or losses on disposal of assets are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Impairment

The carrying values of property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. If such indications exist and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amounts, the assets are written down to the recoverable amounts.

Identifying a cash-generating unit (“CGU”) is a critical step that requires judgement in the impairment review and can have a significant impact on its results. A CGU is defined as the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. CGUs are identified at the lowest level to minimise the possibility that impairments of one asset or group will be masked by a high-performing asset. To identify a CGU, management considers whether (i) a group of assets generate largely independent cash inflows and (ii) there is an active market for the output. When the group of assets does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent and there is no active market for its output (even if used internally), the group is not a CGU. Management then has to combine these assets with others that contribute to the same revenue stream until a CGU is identified. Unless a change is justified, CGUs are identified consistently from period to period for the same asset or types of assets.

Reversal of impairment is affected in the case of indications of a change in recoverable amount and is recognised in comprehensive income, however, is restricted to the net book value of the asset had there been no impairment.

2.8 | Intangible assets

Acquired intangible assets other than goodwill comprise of operating and software licenses, developed technology, customer relationships and trade names. At initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at their fair value as of the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses.

The Group invests a substantial cost in development of its software and enhancement of its product platforms. Expenditure on research activities is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as incurred. The costs associated with the development of new or substantially improved products or modules are capitalized when the following criteria are met:

| ● | Technical feasibility to complete the development;

| ● | Management intent and ability to complete the product and use or sell it;

| ● | The likelihood of success is probable;

| ● | Availability of technical and financial resources to complete the development phase;

2 | Material accounting policies (continued)

2.8 | Intangible assets (continued)

| ● | Costs can be reliably measured; and

| ● | Probable future economic benefits can be demonstrated.

The technical feasibility of the Group’s internally developed software or modules is not proven until significant development risks are resolved by testing working models and pre-launch versions. The software or modules, by then, are ready to be deployed in a live environment. Therefore, software development costs meeting the capitalization criteria are insignificant and have been charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as incurred. However, the Group continues to assess these costs for capitalization eligibility on an ongoing basis at a project level.

Intangible assets with finite lives are typically amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, typically 3 to 10 years for the developed technology, customer relationships and trade names, useful life for the obtained software and operating licenses depends on the licenses validity and are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset are reviewed at least annually. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization of intangible assets is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible assets.

The carrying values of intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. If such indications exist and where the carrying values exceed the estimated recoverable amounts, the assets are written down to the recoverable amounts.

Reversal of impairment is affected in the case of indications of a change in recoverable amount and is recognised in comprehensive income, however, is restricted to the net book value of the asset had there been no impairment.

2.9 | Business combination and goodwill

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, which is measured at acquisition date fair value, and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and included in administrative expenses.

The Group determines that it has acquired a business when the acquired set of activities and assets include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The acquired process is considered substantive if it is critical to the ability to continue producing outputs, and the inputs acquired include an organised workforce with the necessary skills, knowledge, or experience to perform that process or it significantly contributes to the ability to continue producing outputs and is considered unique or scarce or cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay in the ability to continue producing outputs.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as of the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost (being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests and any previous interest held over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed). If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognised at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognised in profit or loss.

2.9 | Business combination and goodwill (continued)

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. The impairment assessment is carried out annually at the end of the reporting period or when significant impairment indicators arise.

Where goodwill has been allocated to a CGU and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

Contingent consideration, resulting from business combinations, is valued at fair value at the acquisition date as part of the business combination. When the contingent consideration meets the definition of a financial liability, it is subsequently remeasured to fair value at each reporting date. The determination of the fair value is based on discounted cash flows.

2.10 | Deferred transaction cost

The Group incurs various incremental qualifying transaction costs in anticipation of, issuance or acquiring its own equity instruments. Those costs include registration and other regulatory fees, underwriting costs and brokerage fees, amounts paid to lawyers, accountants, investments bankers and other professional advisors, fees and commissions paid to agents, brokers and dealers, printing costs and stamp duties.

The transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity, net of any related income tax benefit, to the extent they are incremental costs directly attributable to the equity transaction that otherwise would have been avoided. The costs of an equity transaction that is abandoned are recognised as an expense.

2.11 | Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash held in current and savings accounts, deposits held at call with financial institutions, and other short-term and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

2.12 | Share capital

Common shares

Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of Common shares are recognised as a deduction from equity.

Preferred shares

Preferred shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity. Preferred shares have similar rights to ordinary shares, in addition to rights of conversion into ordinary shares at a certain conversion ratio at any time, liquidation preferences, and the right to participate in non-liquidation asset distribution events.

2.13 | Employees’ end of service benefits

The Group provides end of service benefits to its employees in the UAE and the KSA as required by each country’s respective Labour Law. The entitlement to these benefits is based upon the employees’ final salary and length of service, subject to the completion of a minimum service period. The expected costs of these benefits are accrued over the period of employment. Management considers these as long-term obligations and, accordingly, this obligation has been classified as a non-current liability. At each reporting date, Management assesses the impact of accounting for the provision at present value under IAS 19 ‘Employee benefits’ while considering forward-looking factors such as the employees’ expected salary increases and expected length of future service.

2.14 | Defined contribution plans

The Group’s obligation under the applicable schemes is limited to specific contributions legislated from time to time, per month per employee. The Group’s contributions are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the year to which they relate. The Group has no further obligation once the contributions have been paid.

2.15 | Convertible notes

Convertible notes are presented as financial liability in the consolidated statement of financial position. On issuance of the convertible notes, the liability is measured at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost (net of transaction costs) until it is extinguished on conversion or redemption. Convertible notes are classified as current liabilities based on the expected conversion date in accordance with the convertible note’s agreements.

2.16 | Embedded derivatives

A derivative embedded in a hybrid contract is separated from the host and accounted for as a separate derivative if, the economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to the host, a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative, and the hybrid contract is not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Reassessment only occurs if there is either a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required or a reclassification of a financial asset out of the fair value through profit or loss category.

2.17 | Interest-bearing loans

Interest-bearing loans are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Interest-bearing loans are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds and the redemption value is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income over the term of the loan using the effective interest method. Interest-bearing loans are classified as non-current liabilities when the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liabilities for more than twelve months after the reporting date.

2.18 | Leases

The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Group as a lessee

i) | Identifying a lease

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether:

| ● | The contract involves the use of an identified asset;

| ● | The Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and/or

| ● | The Group has the right to direct the use of the asset.

In assessing whether a lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for the lessee to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The Group revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease.

Group as a lessee (continued)

i) | Identifying a lease (continued)

For determination of the lease term, the Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, upon the occurrence of either a significant event or a significant change in circumstances that:

| ● | is within the control of the Group; and

| ● | affects whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an option not previously included in its determination of the lease term, or not to exercise an option previously included in its determination of the lease term.

For a contract that contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Group can allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease component, where applicable. For existing office rental contracts in multiple locations, the Group does not opt to segregate the lease and non-lease component as such non-lease components are inseparable in the contract and are insignificant in comparison to the overall lease payment.

ii) | Right-of-use assets

At the commencement date, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability presented separately on the consolidated statement of financial position.

The right-of-use asset is initially recognised at cost comprising of:

| ● | the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;

| ● | any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;

| ● | any initial direct costs incurred by the Group; and

| ● | an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Group in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease. These costs are recognised as part of the cost of the right-of-use asset when the Group incurs an obligation for these costs. The obligation for these costs is incurred either at the commencement date or as a consequence of having used the underlying asset during a particular period.

After initial recognition, the Group amortises the right-of-use asset over the term of the lease. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain re-measurements of the lease liability.

iii)Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities to short term leases that have a lease of twelve months or less and leases of low-value assets when new. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2.18 | Leases (continued)

Group as a lessee (continued)

iv) | Lease liability

The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security, and conditions. The Group determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased. After initial recognition, the lease liability is measured by (a) increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability; (b) reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made; and (c) remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments.

Where, (a) there is a change in the lease term as a result of the reassessment of certainty to exercise an option, or not to exercise a termination option as discussed above; or (b) there is a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset, assessed considering the events and circumstances in the context of a purchase option, the Group remeasures the lease liabilities to reflect changes to lease payments by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate. The Group determines the revised discount rate as the interest rate implicit in the lease for the remainder of the lease term, if that rate can be readily determined, or its incremental borrowing rate at the date of reassessment, if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. Where, (a) there is a change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or (b) there is a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, including a change to reflect changes in market rental rates following a market rent review, the Group remeasures the lease liabilities by discounting the revised lease payments using an unchanged discount rate, unless the change in lease payments results from a change in floating interest rates. In such cases, the Group uses a revised discount rate that reflects changes in the interest rate.

The Group recognises the amount of the re-measurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Group recognises any remaining amount of the re-measurement in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

The Group exercises the exemptions available to apply a portfolio approach to their leases when assessing application of the discount rate and lease term.

The Group accounts for a lease modification as a separate lease if both:

| ● | the modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets; and

| ● | the consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone price to reflect the circumstances of the particular contract.

2.18 | Leases (continued)

Group as a lessor (continued)

When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease.

i) | Operating lease

Leases where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset to the customers are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same bases as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned. Where the Group determines that the leasing agreements contain an operating lease, capacity payments are recognised as operating lease rentals on a systematic basis to the extent that capacity has been made available to the customers during the year. Rental income arising from operating leases is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and included in revenue due to its operating nature.

ii) | Finance lease

To classify each lease, the Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Group considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset. The Group reviews the contractual arrangements it enters into with its customers. In instances where the contract conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset for substantially all the economic benefits and the right to direct the use, such contracts are accounted for as a finance lease. The amounts due from the lessee are recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position as financial assets (finance lease receivables) and are carried at the amount of the net investment in the lease after making provision for impairment.

Lease payments are payments made by a lessee to a lessor relating to the right to use an underlying asset during the lease term, comprising the fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives (for e.g. reimbursement of maintenance fee); variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate; the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.

When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Group applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

2.19 | Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period, using a rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation.

2.20 | Share-based payments

Employees (including senior executives) of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments i.e. equity-settled transactions. The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model, further details of which are given in Note 12.

That cost is recognised in employee benefits expense, together with a corresponding increase in equity (employee share scheme reserve), over the period in which the service and, where applicable, the performance conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period). The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as of the beginning and end of that period.

The Group has previously issued share-based payment awards, for which the “grant date” was not achieved, due to the absence of a formal approval of the terms and conditions of the grant that reflect the intent of this long-term incentive scheme. The services provided by the employees prior to the grant date counts towards the vesting period of the awards. Therefore, the cost of awards is recognised in advance of the grant date, over the period services are rendered by the employees, by estimating the fair value of the equity instruments at the end of each reporting period.

Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached to an award, but without an associated service requirement, are non-vesting conditions. Non-vesting conditions are reflected in the fair value of an award and lead to an immediate expense of an award unless there are also service and/or performance conditions.

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are expensed irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognised is the grant date fair value of the unmodified award, provided the original vesting terms of the award are met. An additional expense, measured as of the date of modification, is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee. Where an award is cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any remaining element of the fair value of the award is expensed immediately through comprehensive income.

2.21 | Financial instruments

2.21.1 | Financial assets

The financial assets consist of the following:

i) | Cash and cash equivalents;

ii) | Current financial assets (financial asset at fair value through profit or loss); and

iii) | Trade and other receivables – the Group’s customers include individuals (business to customers (“B2C”)) and corporate customers (business to business (“B2B”)).

Individual customers – are persons who fill bus seats on rides. The individual customer pays for the transportation services through the end-users’ authorised payment method (i.e. either through cash or through the application). When payment is made through the application (i.e. through the credit/debit card configured by the end-user in the application or through third party electronic payment solutions) and the fare charge has not yet been settled with third party payment processors, this causes a negative balance to appear in the customer wallet which is a receivable for the Group. There is a maximum limit to the customer wallet exclusively defined for each territory. The customer is required to settle the amount before booking further riders through the Group’s platform; and

Corporate customers – represent customers where the Group will provide transportation services through dedicated routes exclusively to individuals determined by the customers, for which an agreed contract terms will be signed. The corporate customers are billed on a monthly basis. In cases where the transactions have been completed and the amounts owed by the corporate customers have either been invoiced or are unbilled as of the reporting date, these are recognised as trade receivables by the Group.

Classification

The Group classifies its financial assets, which consists of cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables and to be measured at amortised cost.

The classification is driven on the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets where the financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Management determines the classification of its investment at initial recognition.

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss:

the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows on specified date that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through OCI, and fair value through profit or loss. The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Current financial assets (financial assets at fair value through profit or loss)

For debt instruments at fair value through profit or loss, fair value changes, interest income, foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses or reversals are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

2.21.1 | Financial assets (continued)

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, in which case they are recognised at fair value. The Group holds the trade and other receivables with the objective to collect contractual cash flows and, therefore, measures them subsequently at amortised cost using effective interest method subject to credit loss impairment.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognises financial assets when the contractual right to the cash flows from the financial assets expires, or when it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial assets in a transaction in which substantially all the risk and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group has two types of financial assets that are subject to IFRS 9’s Expected Credit Loss (“ECL”) provisioning model:

| ● | cash and cash equivalents; and

| ● | trade and other receivables.

i) | Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are held in banks with high credit rating, the ECL is estimated to be immaterial.

ii) | Trade and other receivables

For trade and other receivables, the Group has applied the standard’s simplified approach and has calculated ECLs based on lifetime expected credit losses. The Group calculates the ECL based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the customer and the economic environment.

The default definition determined by the Group in accordance with IFRS 9 is as follows:

● | Corporate customers – the Group considers a corporate customer to be in default when it is overdue for more than 90 days, except for Egypt where customers are considered to be in default when it is overdue for more than 180 days; and

● | Individual customers – the Group considers an individual customer to be in default when it is overdue for more than 90 days.

The amount of the provision is charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Trade and other receivables considered irrecoverable are written-off.

2.21.2 | Financial liabilities

Recognition and measurement – Accounts payable, accruals and other payables

Accounts payable, accruals and other payables consist of amounts payable to captains or operators and other vendors, accrued expenses, advance from riders and taxes payable.

2.21.2 | Financial liabilities (continued)

Recognition and measurement – Accounts payable, accruals and other payables (continued)

Accounts payable, accruals and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. These are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liability.

Derecognition of financial liability

The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or expired.

2.21.3 | Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the consolidated statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Income and expenses are presented on a net basis only when permitted by the accounting standards, or for gains and losses arising from a group of similar transactions.

2.22 | Revenue recognition

The Group derives its revenue principally from end-users who use the Group’s platform to access routes predetermined by the Group. Revenue for transport represents the gross amount of fees charged to the end user for these services. Costs incurred with captains for transportation are recorded in cost of sales.

The end-user contracts with the Group to utilize the Group’s network of independent operators and individual captains to deliver the transportation services. Captains are drivers using Swvl’s platform. The Group enters into contracts with the end-users that define the price for each ride and payment terms. The Group’s acceptance of the ride request establishes enforceable rights and obligations for each contract. By accepting the end-user’s ride request, the Group has responsibility for transportation of the end user from origin to destination. The Group enters into separate contracts with independent operators and is responsible for payment to the operator/individual captains regardless of the payment by the end user.

The Group serves customers on its platform through two offerings: B2C and B2B.

Business to customer (B2C)

Using Swvl’s platform, the Group provides customers with a network of minibuses and other vehicles that operate on fixed and semi-fixed routes within the cities and between cities. Customers book seats on vehicles available exclusively through Swvl to commute within a city and make intercity trips.

Business to business (B2B)

​

The Group enables its corporate customers to use Swvl’s technology and platform to optimize the commute and travel programs they operate for their passengers. Our offerings include corporate customers dedicated routes using vehicles and drivers already operating on Swvl to transport passengers to and from predetermined destinations. No significant contract assets or liabilities exist since revenue is recognized at a point in time. Further, no assets are recognized from the costs to fulfil or obtain the contracts since such costs are not recoverable and the durations of the contracts are typically one year.

2 | Material accounting policies (continued)

2.22 | Revenue recognition (continued)

Business to business (B2B) (continued)

The Group recognizes revenue at a point in time for B2C and B2B when the services are provided.

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The principle for revenue recognition is based on the five steps in accordance with IFRS 15 as follows:

| ● | Identify the contract with the customer;

| ● | Identifying the performance obligations in the contract;

| ● | Determine the transaction price;

| ● | Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

| ● | Recognising revenue when (or as) the Group satisfies a performance obligation.

Principal versus agent considerations

The Group evaluates the presentation of revenue on a gross versus net basis based on whether they control the service provided to the end-user and are the principal in the transaction (gross), or they arrange for other parties (operators and individual captains) to provide the service to the end-user and are the agent in the transaction (net).

The Group considers itself a principal for the transportation services because it controls the services provided to riders. The control over the services provided to riders is demonstrated through the following key considerations:

| ● | The Group determines the routes on which the transportation services are operated which includes deciding on the pickup and drop off points;

| ● | The Group reserves the right to assign the routes to the captains;

| ● | The Group reserves the right to decide the fares and the captain does not have the right to amend the fare;

| ● | The captains are entitled to a fixed fee irrespective of the ride fare collected on a particular route whereas the Group is entitled to the entire ride fare revenue. There is no cost-plus arrangement or revenue sharing arrangement with the captain or the operator;

| ● | The Group has complete discretion over assigning the buses to the various business models;

| ● | The Group is responsible for accepting or rejecting the ride request once placed on the platform. There is no involvement of the captain in this process;

| ● | The credit risk is borne entirely by the Group. The Group pays the consideration due to the operators or captains irrespective of whether the rider has paid the ride fare.

| ● | The riders associate the Group as a primary obligor in the arrangement as the identity of the captains is not disclosed to the end-users;

| ● | The Group assumes responsibility for receiving and resolving the complaints registered by the end-users over the quality of the service;

| ● | The Group defines the quality standards, provides training to the captains and inspects vehicles to ensure that service provided meet the expectations of end-users;

| ● | The captain has no share in the cancellation fee paid by the end-users; and

| ● | Any incentives and discounts given to the end-users are entirely determined by the Group.

Performance obligation and recognition of revenue

As the Group is acting as a principal in accordance with IFRS 15 (as discussed above), the Group considers the end-users to be its customers. The performance obligation of the Group is to provide transportation services to the end-users by integrating the use of the Swvl platform and a network of captains and buses registered on the platform for B2C and B2B. For B2C and B2B, the end-users are charged for using transportation services (i.e. fare charges net off the discounts and incentives) and are given various incentives (discussed below). It is at this point in time that the end-user becomes liable to transfer the due consideration to the Group. The Group recognises revenue when its performance obligation towards the end-users has been satisfied, i.e. when the ride is completed for B2C and B2B. As of the end of the reporting period, there is no transaction price to allocate to unsatisfied performance obligations.

​

End-user discounts and promotions

The Group offers various discounts and promotions to incentivize platform use, impacting revenue recognition and expenses as follows:

| ● | Targeted Discounts & Promotions – Discounts (e.g., first-ride promotions) reduce transaction price and recognized revenue upon satisfaction of our performance obligation which is ride completion.

| ● | Free Credits – Incentives for intercity travel (e.g., return-trip credits) are recorded as liabilities until redeemed or expired, unless immaterial.

| ● | Referrals – Existing users earn credits for referring new users. As this constitutes a marketing service, costs are recorded as selling and marketing expenses.

| ● | Market-Wide Promotions – Broad discounts reduce fare prices and are accounted for as a reduction of revenue upon satisfaction of our performance obligation which is ride completion.

Sales refunds and waivers

The Group has a policy which entitles the end-users to register complaints regarding quality of service within a certain number of days. Once registered, the Group assesses the complaint and decides whether the end-users are entitled to a refund (“Sales waivers”). The Group defers a portion from the fare and recognises it as refund liability at the completion of every ride. Upon the conclusion of refund claims or when the time to register such complaints lapses, the refund liability is reversed against revenue or cash (or customer wallet). However, the refund liability is not recognised when it is immaterial. The riders are entitled to a full or partial refund upon the cancellation of trips (“Sales refunds”). These Sales refunds are accounted for as a reversal of revenue at the time of recognition.

2.23 | Earnings per share

Basic loss/earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the loss/income of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the financial period.

Diluted loss/earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic loss/earnings per share to take into account the after-income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

2.24 | Taxes

Current income taxes

The Group records income taxes in accordance with IAS 12. As the Parent Company is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, profits from operations of the Parent Company are not subject to taxation. However, certain subsidiaries of the Parent Company are based in taxable jurisdictions and are therefore liable for tax. Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax on the profits of these subsidiaries. Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date in countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income.

Management periodically evaluates the position taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretations and establishes provision where appropriate.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

Deferred tax is not recognised for:

| ● | temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss; or

| ● | temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

2.25 | Segment reporting

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance. As such, the Group has determined that it operates as one operating segment.

2.26 | Earnout liabilities

Earnout liabilities are initially recognized at fair value at their inception, and subsequently at fair value at each reporting date. Valuation of shares earnout liability is measured using an appropriate valuation model which considers various factors such as the current trading stock price, equity volatility and cost of equity. The change in fair value of the earnout liabilities is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

2.27 | Derivative warrants

Warrants assumed in the Transaction give the holder the right, but not the obligation to subscribe to the Company’s Ordinary Shares at a fixed or determinable price for a specified period. These instruments were part of the net assets acquired in the Transaction and, therefore, have applied the provisions of debt and equity classification under IAS 32 and IFRS 9.

Therefore, the warrants are accounted for as a financial liability (derivative liability) recognized at fair value upon the closing of the Transaction, and subsequently remeasured at fair value through profit and loss.

Pre-funded warrants are classified as equity in accordance with IAS 32 as they are a non-derivative instrument with a fixed number of shares, that do not contain a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset. The full amount received at issuance is recognized within equity, and no subsequent remeasurement is required. Upon exercise, the carrying amount of the pre-funded warrant is reclassified to share capital and share premium respectively. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on issuance or exercise.

2.28 | Current versus non-current classification

The Group presents assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position based on current/non-current classification.

An asset is current when it is expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle, held primarily for the purpose of trading, expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

​

A liability is current when it is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle, it is held primarily for the purpose of trading, it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-current.

​

2.29 | Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies

The Group’s subsidiary located in Argentina is operating in a hyperinflationary economy. Accordingly, the results, cash flows and financial position of this subsidiary have been expressed in terms of the measuring unit current, as of the end of the year.

The price index identification and movement are indicated as below:

​

​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ ​ ​ | Argentina
Price index identity |  | Consumer
​ |  | price index
​ |  | (Basis points)
Price index level as of 1 January 2025 |  | 7,694
Price index level as of 31 December 2025 |  | 10,121
Change in index |  | 2,427

​

Since the operations of the subsidiary listed above were discontinued in 2022, the hyperinflation adjustment is included as part of the results of discontinued operations (Note 30).

3 | Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Management reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of these risks which are summarised below.

3.1 | Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices such as foreign exchange rates, interest and equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

3.1.1 | Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the Group’s earnings will be affected as a result of fluctuations in the value of financial instruments due to changes in market interest rates. The Group’s cash flow exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s debt obligations. The Group has certain financial assets that generate interest income, however the Group is not exposed to material interest rate risk on these financial assets.

+/- 100 basis point increase |  | 894
31 December 2023 | ​ | ​
+/- 100 basis point increase | ​ | 12,935

​

3.1.2 | Currency risk

​

Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group is not exposed in its transactions denominated in AED, SAR, as it is pegged against USD. The Group is exposed to currency risk because of the Group’s net investments in foreign subsidiaries. The Group’s significant exposure is from the point the cash flows of the transactions are forecasted up to the point of settlement of the resulting receivable or payable that is denominated in the foreign currency.

The following are exchange rates applied during the years 2025 and 2024 in respect of currencies where the Group has exposures to currency risk:

​

3.2 | Credit risk

Credit risk is a risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Group’s trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents held with banks.

The Groups’ exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each counterparty. However, Management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its counterparties, including the default risk of the industry and the country in which counterparties operate.

The carrying value of the financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure, which is as follows:

​

- | Totals of expected credit losses as a percentage of the exposure may not tie due to percentage rounding.

(iii) | Expected credit losses on other financial assets

Credit risk is managed on a Group basis. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of BB+’ are accepted. The Group considers ‘low credit risk’ in relation to the bank balances as they have a low risk of default supported by high credit rating carried by a major credit rating agency. These financial institutions have a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term.

3.3 | Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities. Liquidity requirements are monitored on a daily basis and management ensures that sufficient cash and cash equivalents are available to meet their commitments for liabilities as they fall due.

The Group’s liquidity management involves projecting cash flows and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these, monitoring liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements and maintaining debt financing plans.

​

3.4 | Capital risk

The Group’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefit for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payment to shareholders or issue new shares. Management seeks to maintain a balance between higher returns and a sound capital position.

​

4 | Critical accounting judgments and estimates

The preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with the above requirements requires Management to make certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revision to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of asset or liability affected in future periods. Such estimates and assumptions are as follows:

4 | Critical accounting judgments and estimates (continued)

4.1 | Business combinations

The Group records tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. Acquisition consideration typically includes cash payments and equity issued as consideration. In acquisitions where no consideration is transferred, goodwill is measured based on the fair value of the acquiree. Amounts paid for each acquisition are allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition inclusive of identifiable intangible assets. The estimated fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities, including intangibles, are based on valuations that use information and assumptions available to management. The Group allocates any excess purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed to goodwill.

Significant management judgments and assumptions are required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, particularly for acquired intangible assets, including estimated useful lives. The valuation of purchased intangible assets is based upon estimates of the future performance and discounted cash flows of the acquired business. Each asset acquired or liability assumed is measured at estimated fair value from the perspective of a market participant.

4.2 | Impairment of assets

The carrying values of long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. If any indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Determining the recoverable amount is subjective and requires management to estimate future growth, profitability, discount and terminal growth rates, and project future cash flows, among other factors. Future events and changing market conditions may impact our assumptions as to prices, costs or other factors that may result in changes to our estimates of future cash flows.

If it is concluded that a definite or indefinite long-lived asset is impaired, a loss in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value at the date of impairment is recognized. The fair value at the date of the impairment becomes the new cost basis and will result in a lower depreciation expense than for periods before the asset’s impairment.

4.3 | Earnout liabilities

The Group uses accounting estimates in measuring the fair value of its earnouts liabilities. The Group used a Monte Carlo simulation based on the frequency that each tranche vests to value the dilutive impact of per share. The assumptions used in the valuation are disclosed in Note 29.

4.4 | Derivative warrant liabilities

The Group’s derivative liabilities related to its public and private warrants are measured using appropriate valuation method. Public warrants derivative liabilities are measured using Binomial lattice model while Black-Scholes Options Pricing Model (“BSOPM”) was used to value the private warrants. The assumptions used in the valuation are disclosed in Note 29.

4.5 | Leases

i) | Determination of lease term

IFRS 16 requires the Group to assess the lease term as the non-cancellable lease term in line with the lease contract together with the period for which the Group has extension options which the Group is reasonably certain to exercise and the periods for which the Group has termination options for which the Group is not reasonably certain to exercise those termination options. The Group assesses the options to extend or terminate their leases offices in multiple locations of operations. Management has not assessed the lease extension term where such clauses are required to be mutually agreed between the Group and the lessor. In cases where the lease extension is solely at the discretion of the Group as a lessee, Management is reasonably certain that such leases will not be renewed beyond the non-cancellable lease term and no extension options have been exercised.

4.5 Leases (continued)

ii) | Discount rate

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leases in the Group, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security, and conditions.

4.6 | Deferred tax asset

Deferred tax is recognised and provides for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax reflects the manner of recovery of underlying assets and is measured at the prevailing tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed periodically and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised. Deferred tax assets have been recognised by a certain subsidiary of the Group on their trading losses where utilisation is probable, given that there is probable future taxable gain to offset against these losses. The Group continuously reviews the recoverability of the deferred tax asset for any significant changes to these assumptions.

4.7 | Share-based payments

The Group issued share-based payment awards to employees starting from May 2017. While there was a mutual understanding with the employees regarding the terms of the award, its formal approval was pending, and therefore “grant date” was not achieved. The grant date will be achieved on an “exit event” which includes “merger, consolidation, sale of assets, or other change in control of the Parent Company, or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Option Rules and the Award agreement”. However, the cost of awards is recognised in advance of the grant date, over the period services are rendered by the employees, by estimating the fair value of the equity instruments at the end of each reporting period to comply with the requirements of IFRS.

During 2022, the exit event was achieved on 31 March 2022 and all the awards outstanding were granted. The employees are eligible to exercise their vested options in accordance with the SEC rules which include a lock-up period of 6 months after the exit event. The exit event is not a vesting condition.
​

The shares’ awarded charge is amortised over the period services are rendered by the employees.

4.8 | ECL assumptions

The Group estimates the expected credit loss under the simplified approach using a provision matrix which applies the relevant loss rates to the outstanding trade receivable balances (i.e. an aged analysis). Different loss rates are determined depending on the number of days that the trade and other receivables are outstanding. Depending on the diversity of the end-user base, the Group uses appropriate groupings (known as customer segments) based on homogeneous risk characteristics.

4 | Critical accounting judgments and estimates (continued)

4.8 | ECL assumptions (continued)

The estimates mainly involve the following:

● | Determining appropriate customer segments – Estimating the risk characteristics and concluding whether a group of customers will exhibit similar loss patterns in the future;

● | Appropriateness of historical loss rates – Estimating whether the macroeconomic outlook for the prior periods is consistent with the current outlook or if any adjustment is needed;

● | Default definition – Management defines its policy of what is considered as a default which is consistent with the internal credit risk management policy of the Group. The default definition includes the impact of qualitative factors wherever necessary; and

● | Forward-looking analysis – Management assesses whether in the past, there has been a plausible relationship between the macroeconomic indicators and the historical loss patterns. In case there is a plausible relationship and a strong correlation, Management estimates the impact of the future economic outlook on the loss patterns based on forecasted statistics.

The Group uses a simplified approach which includes a provision matrix for large portfolio of customers which have similar risk characteristics (through ‘determining appropriate customer segments’ discussed above) to calculate expected credit losses (ECL) for trade receivables and other receivables based on the Group’s historical observed default rates, derived from the number of days past due for various customer segments that have similar loss patterns. These historical observed default rates are then adjusted for forward-looking information through the forward looking analysis discussed above.

The assessment of the correlation between historical observed default rates, forecasted economic conditions and resulting ECL is a significant estimate. The amount of ECL is sensitive to changes in circumstances and of forecast economic conditions. The Group’s historical credit loss experience and forecast of economic conditions may also not be representative of the customer’s actual default in the future.

​

4.9 | Legal claims and obligations

The Group estimates the legal provisions and liabilities based on the legal opinion of the in-house counsel and with the use of external experts if necessary and with reference to historical events. For a liability to qualify for recognition there must be not only a present obligation but also the probability of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits to settle that obligation. When an event is more likely to occur than not to occur, management regards the event as probable and if all recognition criteria is met a provision is recognised.

In rare cases when a reliable estimate cannot be made, or when the likelihood of an event occurring is equal to or less than the likelihood of the event not occurring, a liability cannot be recognized. In such cases, the group discloses a contingent liability unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote, in which case no disclosure is required.

Contingent liabilities may develop in a way not initially expected. Therefore, the management assess the contingent liabilities continually to determine whether an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits has become probable. If it becomes probable that an outflow of future economic benefits will be required for an item previously dealt with as a contingent liability, a provision is recognised in the consolidated financial statements of the period in which the change in probability occurs.

Management has not used any complex assumptions in arriving at the fair value of the deferred purchase price.

Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreements for Urbvan, any uncalled and unissued warrants expire on 30 June 2025. As at the expiry date, 47,198 warrants remained uncalled and unissued and therefore expired.

a.Reverse share split:

In 2023, the Group restructured its authorised shares and issued ordinary shares as detailed below:

(a)The number of ordinary shares which the Group is authorised to issue has been decreased to 20,000,000 ordinary shares by the consolidation of every 25 ordinary shares of $0.0001 par value each currently in issue into 1 ordinary share of $0.0025 par value each; and

(b)the issued ordinary shares have been combined into a small number of shares, resulting in every 25 issued ordinary share being combined into 1 ordinary share with a par value of $0.0025 each.

Following the restructuring, the Group is authorised to issue 20,000,000 ordinary shares and 55,000,000 preference shares. The restructuring was approved on 4 January 2023 and became effective on 25 January 2023.

14.3 | Earnouts liabilities:

During the time period between the Closing Date and the five-year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Earnout Period”), eligible Swvl Shareholders may receive up to 600,000 additional shares of the Parent Company’s Common Shares A (the “Earnout Shares”) in the aggregate in three equal tranches if the volume-weighted average closing sale price of our Common Stock is greater than or equal to $312.5 (tranche 1), $375 (tranche 2), and $437.5 (tranche 3) for any 20 trading days within any 30 consecutive trading day period (the “Trigger Events”) (or an earlier Change of Control event).

The management estimated the probability of vesting for each tranche based on frequency that each trance vests across multiple simulation paths using a Monte Carlo simulation. The probability of vesting was very distant and accordingly the management recorded the fair value of the earnout liabilities as of 31 December 2025 to be $0.

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | For the year ended 31 December
​ | ​ ​ ​ | 2025 | ​ ​ ​ | 2024 | ​ ​ ​ | 2023

​ |  | 78,018 |  | — | ​ | 41,305

​

25.2 | Deferred tax asset

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes at the enacted rates. The significant components of the Group’s deferred tax assets resulted from the carried forward tax losses from current and previous year which are expected to be recoverable once the group is able to generate taxable income in future periods. The movement of deferred tax assets during the year was as follows:

​

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | As of 31 December
​ | ​ ​ ​ | 2025 | ​ ​ ​ | 2024
​ | ​ | USD | ​ | USD
As of 1 January |  | 5,288,913 |  | 9,468,808

As of 31 December |  | 5,486,804 |  | 5,288,913

​

25.3 | UAE Federal Corporate Tax

The Group has recognized an income tax benefit of $78,018 on account of the losses in the United Arab Emirates which are expected to be recoverable from future taxable income periods.

​

26 | Earnings/(loss) per share

Basic earnings/(loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the net profit/(loss) attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for the effect of the Conversion Ratio as discussed in Note 1 and applied retrospectively to all prior years presented.

600,000 Earnout Shares, 897,384 warrants and 54,398 employees share options after the impact of reverse share split have been excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding, as they are deemed to be out of money during the year as the share price was significantly below exercise prices. Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year ended 2025 includes 759,082 shares to be issued against pre-funded warrants, in line with IAS 33 - Earnings per Share.

In years where the Group was loss-making, potentially dilutive instruments all have an anti-dilutive impact and therefore have been excluded in the calculation of diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. These instruments include certain outstanding equity awards, warrants, share options and convertible loans and could potentially dilute earnings per share in the future.

29 | Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

| ● | in the principal market for the asset or liability; or

| ● | in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Group. The fair value of an asset or liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

as of 31 December 2025 (continued)

29 | Fair value of financial instruments (continued)

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurement are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

Level 1: quoted market price (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability; either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: inputs that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The carrying amounts of the financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their fair values. The Group’s measurement of embedded derivatives are classified in Level 2.

30 | Discontinued operations

According to the guidance provided by IFRS 5 “Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations”, the assets and liabilities associated with those subsidiaries whose operations were discontinued have been presented as held for sale in the consolidated financial statements.
