  • Total Segment Revenue growth of 20%1 YoY in Q2 2024

  • Company confirms positive outlook for FY 2024

Berlin, 29 August 2024 – Delivery Hero SE (“Delivery Hero”, the “Company” or the “Group”), the world’s leading local delivery platform, today announced its Q2 2024 and Half-Year financial results, showing that its drive for profitable growth across its global footprint continues to pay off. In H1 2024, Delivery Hero achieved adj. EBITDA of EUR 240m, an uplift of EUR 231m from H1 2023, and reached Free Cash Flow2 (FCF) break-even. The Company expects further FCF generation in H2 2024.

The Company reported positive Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) growth of 7%1 for the full quarter, driven mainly by a rise in order volume, with GMV growth outside of Asia reaching 23%1 YoY in Q2 2024. Delivery Hero ended the quarter with a GMV increase of 10%1 year-on-year (YoY) in June, with growth coming from almost all segments. The expansion of its AdTech business, Dmart business, service and subscription fees, as well as an ongoing increase in own delivery (OD) share, continued to drive double-digit growth in its Total Segment Revenue, rising by 20%1 YoY in Q2 2024.

The Gross Profit margin of the Platform business remained firm at 7.6% in Q2 2024, with further margin expansion expected in H2 2024. The Integrated Verticals segment saw its Gross Profit margin nearly double quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) to 4%. Furthermore, the Group expects significant adj. EBITDA improvement for the entire Integrated Verticals segment in H2 2024 and to achieve break-even by December of this year. 

Niklas Östberg, CEO and Co-Founder of Delivery Hero, said: “We delivered another strong quarter of growth and improved profitability which is a testament to our relentless focus on customer experience, operational efficiency, and category leadership. We ended the quarter on a high note and expect further growth and significant increase in profitability in H2 2024.”

Strong performance of the Group’s platform business across regions
In the MENA region, the Group’s platform business achieved outstanding GMV topline development of 28%1 YoY, fueled by ongoing improvements to the ecosystem and customer experience. Europe experienced double-digit order volume growth, leading to best-in-class GMV development of 19%1 YoY in Q2 2024 among European peers. In Asia, the platform business reported revenue growth of 9%1 YoY, due to continued OD roll-out and a growing advertisement business. Despite increased competition in South Korea, a number of initiatives during Q2 2024 has led to strong rebound in order volumes over the past few months. The platform business in the Americas achieved adj. EBITDA break-even in June. 

Marie-Anne Popp, interim CFO of Delivery Hero, said: “We have met our goal to deliver strong financial results in line with our 2024 guidance. Our healthy topline growth continued into Q2 2024, and following an adj. EBITDA uplift of €231m YoY, we achieved Free Cash Flow break-even in the first half of 2024. These numbers reflect the effectiveness of our business strategy to drive profitable growth, cash generation, and disciplined capital allocation.”

Positive cash development in H1 2024
Delivery Hero maintained stable cash development during the first half of 2024, combined with a balanced debt maturity profile. After the successful refinancing transaction in H1 2024, which further optimized the Company’s capital structure and improved its debt maturity profile, Delivery Hero continues with a strong liquidity position with EUR 1.8bn in cash and cash equivalents at the end of H1 2024. This includes cash inflows from the divestments of minority shareholdings and proceeds from capital contributions as part of the Taiwan divestment. Part of the proceeds from these capital contributions in the amount of EUR 88m were used in H1 2024 to conduct open market repurchases of convertible bonds.

Delivery Hero prepares to list talabat business in Q4 2024
Delivery Hero today announced that it is preparing a listing of its talabat business, its food delivery and quick commerce business covering countries in the Middle East and North Africa, on the Dubai Financial Market in Q4 2024. Full details in ad hoc announcement here.

1 GMV growth and Total Segment Revenue growth in constant currency and excluding hyperinflationary accounting.

2 Free Cash Flow is calculated as cash flow from operations (changes in WC exclude receivables from payment service providers and restaurant liabilities) less capital expenditures and payment of lease liabilities. Free Cash Flow excludes interest income and expense.

3 For Group, Europe, MENA, Americas and Integrated Verticals, revenues and Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) as well as the respective growth rates are impacted by the operations in Argentina, Ghana, Lebanon and/or Turkey qualifying as hyperinflationary economies according to IAS 29. RC = Reported Currency / CC = Constant Currency.

4 Difference between Total Segment Revenue and the sum of segment revenues is mainly due to intersegment consolidation adjustments for services charged by the Platform businesses to the Integrated Verticals businesses.

    Uber Eats to acquire Delivery Hero’s foodpanda delivery business in Taiwan https://www.deliveryhero.com/newsroom/uber-eats-to-acquire-foodpanda-business-in-taiwan/ Tue, 14 May 2024 03:00:00 +0000 https://www.deliveryhero.com/?post_type=newsroom&p=12514
  • Acquisition brings together the companies’ complementary merchant, delivery partner, and consumer bases into a single app, creating significant value
  • Deal is one of the largest-ever international acquisitions in Taiwan, highlighting its attractiveness for companies and investors
  • May 14, 2024, SAN FRANCISCO and BERLIN — Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER) and Delivery Hero SE (FSE: DHER) have reached an agreement for Uber to acquire Delivery Hero’s foodpanda delivery business in Taiwan for $950 million in cash. The acquisition of foodpanda Taiwan is subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions and is targeted to close in the first half of 2025. Separately, the companies have also entered into an agreement for Uber to purchase $300 million in newly issued ordinary shares of Delivery Hero.

    Until closing, Delivery Hero is dedicated to continue operating foodpanda Taiwan as before, offering the best possible service for its customers and vendors. In the period following closing, foodpanda’s local consumers, merchants, and delivery partners will be transitioned to Uber Eats. 

    Due to its existing presence in Taiwan, Uber is best placed to build upon the significant local operations developed by Delivery Hero and foodpanda over the past years, and invest further into an improved experience for consumers, merchants, and delivery partners.

    Niklas Östberg, CEO and Co-Founder of Delivery Hero, said: “The strength of our Taiwanese business is a testament to the hard work of many teams over the last eight years. In order to build a world-leading service, we have come to the conclusion that we need to focus our resources on other parts of our global footprint, where we feel we can have the largest impact for customers, vendors and riders. This deal gives foodpanda an exciting runway in Taiwan and we wish them all the best in their next chapter.”

    The deal will combine Uber’s global expertise in operating a high-efficiency marketplace with foodpanda’s extensive coverage across Taiwan and its relationships with beloved local brands. The deal will also give consumers greater choice across food types and price points by bringing the complementary groups of merchants on Uber Eats and foodpanda onto a combined platform. 

    For example, consumers stand to benefit from the combination of Uber’s wider selection across northern Taiwan and in major urban centers with foodpanda’s comparative strength in southern Taiwan and in smaller cities. Better service for consumers helps drive more orders from merchants, and more orders from merchants means more opportunities for delivery partners to earn. 

    Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty, Senior Vice President of Delivery at Uber, said: “Bringing together our distinct customer bases, merchant selections, and geographic footprints will allow us to deliver more choices and the best prices for consumers, stronger demand for restaurants, and more earnings opportunities for delivery partners. Taiwan is a fiercely competitive market, where online food delivery platforms today still represent just a small part of the food delivery landscape. We’re so excited about the opportunity to deliver even greater convenience and value that this transaction would unlock in the years ahead.”

    Once completed, this deal would be one of the largest ever international acquisitions in Taiwan, outside of the semiconductor industry. Uber’s decision to commit to this considerable increase in its Taiwan investment is a concrete vote of confidence in the continued long-term attractiveness of Taiwan for international companies and investors.

    Delivery Hero terminates negotiations of a potential sale of its foodpanda business in selected markets in Southeast Asia https://www.deliveryhero.com/newsroom/delivery-hero-terminates-negotiations-of-potential-sale-of-foodpanda/ Wed, 21 Feb 2024 22:15:58 +0000 https://www.deliveryhero.com/?post_type=newsroom&p=12412 Berlin, 21 February 2024 Delivery Hero SE (“Delivery Hero”, the “Company” or the “Group”), the world’s leading local delivery platform, today announced that it has terminated discussions with the main negotiating counterpart regarding a potential sale of its foodpanda business in selected Southeast Asian markets covering Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos.

    When reconfirming ongoing discussions on February 2, 2024, Delivery Hero remained optimistic that it would reach agreeable terms for signing with the main negotiating counterpart. At that time, the Company believed it had reached an alignment with the potential buyer on the fundamental terms regarding the sale of the business. However, Delivery Hero took the decision to withdraw from negotiations as this is no longer the case.

    The strength of our APAC business has become evident during the last quarters as the region reached an inflection point in 2023. We believe the region remains strongly positioned to drive profitable growth at scale. The decision to terminate negotiations after months of discussions was taken after careful consideration.

    Niklas Östberg, CEO and Co-Founder of Delivery Hero

    As always, the Company will remain open to M&A and will continue to assess potential strategic alternatives. However, Delivery Hero will only proceed with negotiations where it can create value for shareholders with high certainty of closing. Delivery Hero continues to exercise a disciplined investment policy aimed at maximizing profitable growth and Free Cash Flow generation in its operations.

    Delivery Hero’s FY 2024 guidance, provided with its Q4 2023 Trading Update, excludes any M&A activities. Consequently, this announcement does not have any impact on the Company’s guidance it set out for 2024 or its Free Cash Flow expectations for the medium term.

    Given the extraordinary devaluation of the Argentine Peso by more than 50% in December 2023 and the application of hyperinflationary accounting standards according to IAS 29, the Group was facing an hyperinflation impact of around EUR 550 million on GMV and of around EUR 180 million of Segment Revenue in Argentina in Q4 2023. Thus, including hyperinflation Group GMV grew by 5.5% YoY in FY 2023 and Total Segment Revenue grew by 13.8% YoY in constant currency in FY 2023.

    1 Adj. EBITDA and Free Cash Flow in reported currency and including hyperinflationary accounting. Free Cash Flow is calculated as cash flow from operations (changes in working capital exclude receivables from payment service providers and restaurant liabilities) less capital expenditures (CapEx) and payment of lease liabilities. Free Cash Flow excludes interest income and expense.
    2 GMV growth and Total Segment Revenue growth in constant currency and excluding hyperinflationary accounting.

    3 Gross Profit after deduction of delivery costs, store related expenses, supply chain costs, promotions and vouchers and excluding hyperinflationary accounting.

RC = Reported Currency / CC = Constant Currency.

    5 Difference between Total Segment Revenue and the sum of segment revenues is mainly due to intersegment consolidation adjustments for services charged by the Platform businesses to the Integrated Verticals businesses.

Total Segment Revenue increased by 15.7% YoY to EUR 3.0 billion in Q4 2023 and by 15.7% to EUR 11.1 billion in FY 2023, fully in-line with the guidance of “around 15% YoY”3. The strong result was driven by healthy order growth in many of our geographies.

    Adjusted EBITDA met expectations and gained momentum in second half of the year

    Adj. EBITDA exceeded EUR 250 million in FY 2023, implying an adj. EBITDA uplift of more than EUR 870 million compared to FY 2022. This amounts to an adj. EBITDA/GMV margin of 1.1% in H2 2023 and 0.6% in FY 2023 (including the negative impact from hyperinflationary accounting), both in-line with our guidance. 

    Free Cash Flow break-even achieved and material improvement compared to prior year 

    In addition, Delivery Hero reached Free Cash Flow break-even during H2 2023 and improved the Free Cash Flow development in H2 2023 by more than EUR 330 million YoY. In H2 2023, Delivery Hero generated Free Cash Flow of between EUR -0.1 billion and EUR 0.0 billion and cash flow from other activities (including M&A related payments and interest) of EUR -0.2 billion. At the end of FY 2023, cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 1.7 billion.

    Guidance for FY 2024

    For FY 2024, Delivery Hero anticipates Group GMV growth of 7-9% YoY3, Total Segment Revenue growth of 15-17% YoY3 and an adj. EBITDA of EUR 725-775 million2. Furthermore, Delivery Hero expects to generate a positive Free Cash Flow for FY 20242. This guidance is based on Delivery Hero’s current  Group structure.

    Note: Given the extraordinary devaluation of the Argentine Peso by more than 50% in December 2023 and the application of hyperinflationary accounting standards according to IAS 29, the Group was facing an hyperinflation impact of around EUR 550 million on GMV and of around EUR 180 million of Segment Revenue in Argentina in Q4 2023. Thus, including hyperinflation Group GMV grew by 5.5% YoY in FY 2023 and Total Segment Revenue grew by 13.8% YoY in constant currency in FY 2023.

    1 All numbers presented in this release are unaudited and based on preliminary information. These figures may be adjusted based on the ongoing audit procedures to the 2023 combined management report and IFRS consolidated financial statements. The full financial results for FY 2023 will be published in the 2023 Annual Report.

    2 Adj. EBITDA and Free Cash Flow in reported currency and including hyperinflationary accounting. Free Cash Flow is calculated as cash flow from operations (changes in working capital exclude receivables from payment service providers and restaurant liabilities) less capital expenditures (CapEx) and payment of lease liabilities. Free Cash Flow excludes interest income and expense.
    3 GMV growth and Total Segment Revenue growth in constant currency and excluding hyperinflationary accounting.

    4 For Group, Europe, MENA, Americas and Integrated Verticals, revenues and Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) as well as the respective growth rates are impacted by the operations in Argentina, Ghana, Lebanon and/or Turkey qualifying as hyperinflationary economies according to IAS 29. RC = Reported Currency / CC = Constant Currency.

    5 Difference between Total Segment Revenue and the sum of segment revenues is mainly due to intersegment consolidation adjustments for services charged by the Platform businesses to the Integrated Verticals businesses.
