SINGAPORE, SG / ACCESS Newswire / May 6, 2026 / Ryde Group Ltd (NYSE American:RYDE) ("Ryde" or the "Company"), a leading technology platform for mobility and quick commerce headquartered in Singapore, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Key Financial Highlights for First Quarter 2026:

• Revenue: The Company reported revenue of S$3.77 million (US$2.93 million), representing an increase from S$2.72 million (US$2.08 million) in the first quarter of 2025. This growth was primarily attributable to the expansion of both supply and demand on the platform, underpinned by stronger engagement from riders and driver-partners, as well as ongoing enhancements in operational and platform efficiency.
  

• Adjusted EBITDA: The Company's adjusted EBITDA improved by 44%, with the adjusted EBITDA deficit narrowing to S$1.02 million (US$0.79 million) in the first quarter of 2026. This improvement reflects ongoing efforts to enhance operational efficiency, including disciplined optimisation of driver-partner incentives and rider-related costs. These initiatives have contributed to a more sustainable cost structure, strengthening the Company's pathway toward profitability while continuing to support value creation for both driver-partners and riders.
  

• Shareholders' Equity: Shareholders' equity stood at S$31.12 million (US$24.14 million) as of March 31, 2026, reflecting the cumulative impact of multiple capital-raising initiatives successfully completed in September, October, and December 2025. These fund-raising activities strengthened the Company's balance sheet and provided additional financial flexibility to support ongoing growth and strategic initiatives.

The first quarter of 2026 marked continued execution momentum for Ryde, as we advanced our strategic priorities with discipline. Revenue increased by 38% year-on-year to S$3.77 million (US$2.93 million), driven by sustained growth in ride volume and improving user engagement across our platform. At the same time, we reduced our adjusted EBITDA deficit by 44%, underscoring the impact of our ongoing cost optimization initiatives and operational efficiencies. Our differentiated zero-commission model and rider-first philosophy remain central to strengthening our ecosystem and deepening loyalty among both driver-partners and riders.

Looking ahead, we are encouraged by the resilience of demand and the progress we have made in building a leaner and more scalable operating model. We remain committed to sustainable growth and to delivering long-term value for our stakeholders as we continue to evolve the Ryde platform.

Non-US GAAP Financial Measures

This document includes references to non-US GAAP financial measures. Ryde uses these non-US GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons, and Ryde's management believes that these non-US GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of its recurring core business operating results. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of non-US GAAP financial measures, and as such, the presentation of these non-US GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, financial measures determined in accordance with US GAAP. In addition, these non-US GAAP financial measures may differ from non-US GAAP financial measures with comparable names used by other companies. See below for additional explanations about the non-US GAAP financial measures, including their definitions and a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable US GAAP financial measures.

Explanation of non-US GAAP financial measures:

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

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

Reconciliation of Non-US GAAP Financial Measures

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

The following table provides reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA.
