Mostafa Kandil, Swvl Founder and CEO, said, “We entered 2022 with confidence, underpinned by a track record of strong growth, and are pleased to have exceeded our expectations. Now, having completed the business combination with Queen’s Gambit Growth Capital, Swvl is poised to execute its vision of being the largest tech-enabled mass transit provider in the world, with an emphasis on sustainable, convenient, affordable and safe solutions for commuters across the socioeconomic spectrum. I am deeply proud of the work our team has done. Every day, we are leveraging our cutting-edge proprietary technology and capitalizing on strategic investments across new geographies, all with an eye toward driving exponential growth and compelling value for our stakeholders.”
Youssef Salem, Swvl CFO, said, “As our results demonstrate, Swvl is performing above expectations across each of our key operational metrics, including total ticket fares, total bookings, utilization, total available seats, average ticket fare and cost per available seat. With tremendous growth momentum and rapid expansion within core and new geographies, we are pleased to once again increase our yearly guidance forecast for total ticket fares. In the second quarter of 2022, we will seek to continue to execute on a host of compelling opportunities both organically and through acquisitions. We believe the market opportunity for Swvl is only becoming more attractive and we have merely scratched the surface in terms of the value that we plan to create for investors and all stakeholders alike.”
