Swvl shares rose after the company posted higher first-quarter revenue and gross margin, and said its higher percentage of dollar-pegged revenue is expected to mitigate currency volatility.
Shares were up 38% to $4.39 Wednesday and are down about 31% this year.
Swvl operates in the Middle East and Africa, with operations including shuttles for companies and schools, the Swvl Rider App and fleet-management technology.
The company said revenue under International Financial Reporting Standards was up 12% to $4.91 million. Constant-currency revenue was up 47%. Swvl said its net profit was $800,000.
"The ongoing scaling up of our commercial organization is already generating tangible results, positioning Swvl for faster growth in subsequent quarters," the company said.
