Bottom line
The market will focus on the 54% EBITDA beat, but the real story is the *AI cost‑halving* and the *$7 m fuel subsidy* that are the true margin drivers. The binding constraint is cash flow - with revenue and free cash flow undisclosed, the sustainability of EBITDA expansion hinges on continued subsidy funding and AI‑cost savings. If AI cost reductions stall or fuel subsidies rise, margins will compress sharply. My view flips if Q3 revenue falls below $4 bn or cash‑flow turns negative.

The 30-second version

  • Sleeper: AI‑cost halving powers margin expansion
  • Headline: EBITDA beats but driven by subsidies
  • Red flag: Revenue metric vanished
