MoneyHero Limited (Nasdaq: MNY) (“MoneyHero” or the “Company”), a
market leading personal finance and digital insurance aggregation
and comparison platform in Greater Southeast Asia, today announced
financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.
Management Commentary:
Rohith Murthy, Chief Executive
Officer, stated:
“I am pleased to report another solid quarter
for MoneyHero Group as we continue executing on our priorities to
drive efficiency and focus on high-margin products. Q3 marks the
beginning of our deliberate shift to an ‘efficiency’ strategy,
aimed at optimizing our cost base while building for long-term
sustainable growth.
“During the third quarter, we initiated a
comprehensive reorganization and restructuring exercise,
streamlining operations to reduce redundancies, our cost base and
further enhancing efficiencies across all functions. These actions,
combined with targeted operational improvements, resulted in a
quarterly net income of $5.7 million versus a quarterly net loss of
$(12.2) million in Q2, primarily driven by our unrealized foreign
exchange gain and loss as discussed below, and our improved
Adjusted EBITDA of more than 40% quarter-on-quarter, from $(9.3)
million in Q2 to $(5.5) million in Q3. Aligned with our strategic
pillar of operating leverage, these efforts underscore our
commitment to driving scalable growth while maintaining disciplined
cost management. As we enter Q4, these changes position us with a
leaner structure and stronger financial foundation, where we expect
these benefits will be fully reflected.
“Our centralized data platform, completed in Q3,
provides us with a unified customer view for the first time. This
streamlined capability will drive cross-sell opportunities,
segmentation, and improved marketing efficiency across all our
regions, setting the stage for enhanced ROI in the quarters
ahead.
“We also completed the first phase of a
comprehensive site revamp for our Singapore brand, delivering
better content discovery and greater organic traffic. These
enhancements will extend to our Hong Kong brand by year-end,
further strengthening user experience and conversion rates.
“On the high-margin products front, we saw
tremendous growth across personal loans, wealth/investment
offerings, and insurance. Revenues from Personal Loans and
Mortgages grew 34% YoY and 14% QoQ, while Wealth/Investment product
revenues (which are a subset of our “Other verticals” revenue)
increased nearly 5x YoY (480%) and 163% QoQ. Revenues from
insurance grew 36% YoY and contributed to 9% of the Group’s overall
revenue for the first nine months of the year.
“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.
- Adjusted EBITDA loss increased to
US$(5.5) million in the third quarter of 2024 from US$(1.3) million
in the prior year period
- As of September 30, 2024, the
Company had a debt-free balance sheet with US$47.7 million in cash
and cash equivalents

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.

of factors, risks and uncertainties. Potential risks and
uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ
materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, changes in business,

assessments to change. However, while the Company may elect to
update these forward-looking statements at some point in the
future, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so,
except as required by law. The inclusion of any statement in this
document does not constitute an admission by the Company or any
other person that the events or circumstances described in such
statement are material. These forward-looking statements should not
be relied upon as representing the Company’s assessments as of any
date subsequent to the date of this document. Accordingly, undue
reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
