Grab said its revenue fell 9% year over year to $157 million, citing COVID-19-related lockdowns in Vietnam between July and September that affected its ride-hailing, or mobility, business. It also said the number of its monthly users was down 8% year over year because those lockdowns resulted in suspensions of both its ride-hailing and food-delivery businesses in Vietnam.</p>\n<p>However, the company touted a record $4 billion in gross merchandise value for the quarter, a 32% year-over-year increase, and said year-over-year gross billings rose 41% to $616 million, also a record high.</p>\n<p>Risk factors</p>\n<p>Besides Vietnam, Grab serves customers in Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. Oey described a \"huge opportunity\" with a total addressable market of $180 billion in the company's core products of ride-hailing, delivery and payments.</p>\n<p>The company competes with other platforms as well as restaurants and stores that have their own delivery services. It bought Uber Technologies Inc.'s <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/UBER\">$(UBER)$</a> business in Southeast Asia in 2018, but its noncompete agreement with Uber expires in March 2023, or one year after Uber disposes of its entire stake in Grab, whichever is later. Another possible rival is Didi, which could enter the market after its noncompete with Grab expires.</p>\n<p>Like other gig companies, Grab considers its workers independent contractors. In its prospectus, the company mentions that governments in Southeast Asia have shown \"growing interest\" in the classification of Grab's drivers and delivery workers because of related developments elsewhere in the world.
