Great write up. One point to add is GRAB’s TTM adjusted FCF is $489 million and SBC was $238 million. That comes out to FCF of $251 million on a TTM basis.
Gaap says Cashless Dilution is an expenses assuming the company will perform conscientious share buy back, while Cash-in Dilution is not an expenses without assuming the company will perform conscientious share buy back.
Gaap is blatantly hypocritical publicly towards RSU (a type of SBC).
That's why majority of companies still stick to Non-Gaap reporting.

Thanks!
For GRAB to be attractive to me, I will still need to believe they can generate FCF much higher than USD 251 mn in the future.
GRAB is trading at EV of USD 9,000 mn today.
SBC is not an expenses.
After the vesting period, the dilution stays and SBC gone from the statement.
The EPS as well as OCF are self corrected every time the vesting period of a SBC is executed and over.
SBC is a cashless dilution.
Private placement is a cash-in dilution.
