Ownership Structure

As of 31 December 2024, CEO Kim Hyeong-san and affiliated entities own 26.17% of the company. Other major investors include Hashed Ventures (15.69%) and White Star Capital (10.34%). Swing has 52,786 issued shares, comprising 18,817 common and 33,969 preferred shares.

2024 Financial Performance

Swing closed 2024 with revenue of $44.5M, up 12.5% from 2023. However, profitability weakened sharply: operating profit fell nearly 70% to $1.1M, while net income declined 58% to $0.35M.

Gross margin compressed to 23.1% from 29.2%, reflecting higher fleet maintenance, depreciation, and financing costs. The company ended the year with a debt-to-equity ratio of 124%, up from 77% in 2023.
