Dott's Strong Q1 2026 Financial Performance

Dott, a leading player in the European micromobility sector, has recently published its financial report for the first quarter of 2026. The results indicate a remarkable turnaround and promising growth trajectory for the company.

Key Highlights from Q1 2026

The company reported that its Direct Market Contribution (DMC) more than doubled year-on-year, signifying a significant improvement in vehicle economics. This growth was further bolstered by cost-saving measures that resulted in an impressive €6 million improvement in Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA).

In May 2026, Dott completed deployment of 45,000 new vehicles, a move aimed at enhancing service capacity and customer experience. To maintain financial resilience, Dott has secured a €10 million Revolving Credit Facility (RCF), which adds flexibility to its capital structure as it prepares for future expansions.

Despite a slight decline of 6% in net revenue year-on-year, Dott achieved a net revenue of €28.4 million on a like-for-like basis, excluding market exits. The growth in rides per vehicle per day was encouraging, with an increase in Ride per Vehicle per Day (RpAV) and Net Revenue per Vehicle per Day (NRVD) reflecting stronger vehicle economics.
