“Our focus on the strategic pillar ‘Conversion Expertise’ continues to differentiate us. In Q3, we completed the development of a Car Insurance vertical in Hong Kong, introducing real-time pricing capabilities—unique among aggregators. Similarly, our seamless travel insurance purchase flow improved conversion rates for users transacting directly on our platform.

“We also launched new membership and loyalty capabilities, enabling users to create accounts, apply for products with one click, and track their rewards and incentives in real-time. These features deepen engagement and position us for future personalized offerings.

“Looking ahead, we remain committed to improving Adjusted EBITDA each quarter by shifting our revenue mix toward high-margin products. Our focus remains on scaling higher-margin products such as personal loans, insurance, and wealth/investment offerings. This strategic emphasis reflects our commitment to driving sustainable growth and delivering long-term shareholder value. By prioritizing these high-margin categories and streamlining costs, we are building a more resilient and profitable revenue mix to support our growth ambitions.”

“With a leaner cost base, strong cash position, and targeted strategy, we are confident in our ability to deliver shareholder value while building a sustainable, profitable business for the future.”

Hao Qian, Chief Financial Officer, added:

“During the third quarter, MoneyHero’s strategic expansion plan resulted in 6% year-over-year revenue growth, driven by a 4% YoY increase in approved applications. This growth underscores the strength of our platform and our ability to capture market share across Greater Southeast Asia. While the exit of a major provider from two of our key markets earlier this year impacted revenue per application, we have made significant strides in diversifying our revenue mix by expanding partnerships with other key providers and broadening our product offerings. We believe these adjustments position us well for sustained growth, and as providers scale their operations in different quarters, we see opportunities to further strengthen our revenue base and deepen our market presence with them.

“This quarter, we remained focused on executing our growth strategy while beginning to implement our ‘efficiency’ plan to streamline operations and reduce costs. Our investments this quarter were targeted toward customer acquisition, technology re-platforming, and data infrastructure, building a solid foundation for future growth and profitability. These strategic investments were balanced by actions to streamline other aspects of our operations meant to enhance efficiency and drive returns.

“As a result, our Adjusted EBITDA improved significantly to US$(5.5) million in Q3 2024, representing a US$3.8 million quarter-over-quarter improvement. While this reflects progress in optimizing our operations and cost structure, our quarterly Adjusted EBITDA loss remains US$(4.3) million higher year-over-year, primarily due to strategic investments, the impact of provider exits earlier in the year and increased operating costs associated with being a public company.

“Looking ahead, we anticipate a continued improvement of our Adjusted EBITDA in Q4 2024, building on the significant progress made in Q3. With margins steadily improving, we are well-positioned for further recovery heading into 2025. Our comprehensive review of the organizational structure, completed alongside the successful reorganization in Q3, has strengthened our operational foundation and set the stage for continued sustainable growth.”

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

• Revenue increased by 6% year-over-year to US$20.9 million in the third quarter of 2024

  • Online financial comparison platforms revenue increased by 8% year-over-year to US$17.4 million

  • Creatory, MoneyHero’s B2B business, revenue remained flat year-over-year, contributing 17% of Group revenue in the third quarter of 2024, as compared to 18% in the prior year period

• Revenue by markets:

  • Singapore revenue decreased by 13% year-over-year to US$7.9 million in the third quarter, largely due to the absence of campaigns from certain providers who scaled back their paid acquisition activities during this period

  • Hong Kong revenue increased by 18% year-over-year to US$8.1 million in the third quarter, with the strongest growth coming from the other banking verticals

  • Philippines revenue increased by 49% year-over-year to US$4.0 million in the third quarter, with the strongest growth coming from the credit card and personal loan verticals

  • Taiwan revenue increased by 5% year-over-year to US$1.0 million in the third quarter, with the strongest growth achieved in the credit cards vertical

• Revenue from insurance products increased by 36% year-over-year to US$2.1 million in the third quarter of 2024, contributing 10% of Group revenue, as compared to 8% in the prior year period

• Total operating costs and expenses decreased to US$17.3 million in the third quarter of 2024 from US$25.6 million in the prior year period. Total operating costs and expenses includes unrealized foreign exchange gain of US$10.0 million in the third quarter of 2024 and loss of US$1.8 million in the prior year period. The unrealized foreign exchange gain and loss are excluded when calculating Adjusted EBITDA. The operating costs and expenses, excluding unrealized foreign exchange differences, increased to US$27.4 million in the third quarter of 2024 from US$23.7 million in the prior year period. The increase is driven primarily by the increased investment in marketing and customer acquisition. The unrealized foreign exchange gain in the third quarter of 2024 was arising from the strengthening of local currencies against the US dollar from end June 2024 to end September 2024.

• Net income for the period increased to US$5.7 million in the third quarter of 2024 from US$(7.2) million in losses in the prior year period, primarily as a result of the unrealized foreign exchange gain mentioned above.

Key Performance Metrics and Non-IFRS Financial Measures

Historically, we utilized data from Universal Analytics (“UA”), Google’s analytics platform, to measure three key business metrics: monthly unique users, traffic, and clicks. Effective July 1, 2024, Google Analytics 4 (“GA4”) replaced UA. The methodologies used in GA4 are different and not comparable to the methodologies used in UA. While Google has provided some guidance on these differences, Google has not made available sufficient information for us to assess the impact (whether positive or negative) of this transition on our key business metrics, nor can we quantify the extent of such impact. Furthermore, due to the adoption of GA4, we have adjusted our definitions of these key business metrics to enhance accuracy and align them more closely with previous definitions under UA. Therefore, we are unable to provide comparable data for monthly unique user, traffic, and clicks for any periods prior to July 1, 2024.

“Monthly Unique User” means as a unique user with at least one session in a given month as determined by a unique device identifier from GA4. A session begins when a user opens an app in the foreground or views a page or screen while no other session is currently active (e.g., the prior session has ended). A session concludes after 30 minutes of user inactivity. To measure Monthly Unique Users over a period longer than one month, we calculate the average of the Monthly Unique Users for each month within that period. If an individual accesses a website or app from different devices within a given month, each device is counted as a separate unique user. However, if an individual logs in and accesses a website or app using the same login across different devices, they will only be counted as one unique user.

“Traffic” means the total number of unique sessions in GA4. A unique session is a group of user interactions recorded when a user accesses a website or app within a 30-minute window. The current session concludes when there is 30 minutes of inactivity or users have a change in traffic source.

“MoneyHero Group Members” means (i) users who have login IDs with us in Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan, (ii) users who subscribe to our email distributions in Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Philippines and Malaysia, and (iii) users who are registered in our rewards database in Singapore and Hong Kong. Any duplications across the three sources above are deduplicated.

“Clicks” means the sum of unique clicks by product item on a tagged “Apply Now” button on our website, including product result pages and blogs. We track Clicks to understand how our users engage with our platforms prior to application submission or purchase, which enables us to further optimize conversion rates.

“Applications” means the total number of product applications submitted by users and confirmed by our commercial partners.

“Approved Applications” means the number of applications that have been approved and confirmed by our commercial partners.

In addition to MoneyHero Group’s results determined in accordance with IFRS, MoneyHero Group believes that the key performance metrics above and the non-IFRS measures below are useful in evaluating its operating performance. MoneyHero Group uses these measures, collectively, to evaluate ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. MoneyHero Group believes that non-IFRS information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and may assist in comparisons with other companies to the extent that such other companies use similar non-IFRS measures to supplement their IFRS results. These non-IFRS measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS and may be different from similarly titled non-IFRS measures used by other companies. Accordingly, non-IFRS measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of other IFRS financial measures, such as profit/(loss) for the year/period and profit/(loss) before income tax.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as profit/(loss) for the year/period plus depreciation and amortization, interest income, finance costs, income tax expenses/(credit), equity-settled share option expense, transaction expenses, impairment of non-financial assets, other long-term employee benefits expense, Gain on disposal of Malaysian operations, non-recurring costs related to strategic transaction, changes in fair value of financial instruments, non-recurring legal fees, and unrealized foreign exchange differences. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.

A reconciliation is provided for each non-IFRS measure to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with IFRS. Investors are encouraged to review the related IFRS financial measures and the reconciliations of these non-IFRS measures to their most directly comparable IFRS financial measures. IFRS differs from U.S. GAAP in certain material respects and thus may not be comparable to financial information presented by U.S. companies. We currently, and will continue to, report financial results under IFRS, which differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP.
