| Delivery Hero SE (“Delivery Hero”, the “Company” or the “Group”), the world’s leading local delivery platform, today announced its Q3 2024 results, extending the successful profitable growth trend from the previous quarters. Driven predominantly by increasing order volumes, the Company accelerated its Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) growth from 7%1 YoY in the previous quarter to 9%1 YoY this quarter. |
| The Company’s Total Segment Revenue growth exceeded the GMV development, rising 24%1 YoY, with double-digit growth across all segments. This growth continues to be driven by multiple levers, including growing AdTech business, Dmarts, and better monetization. As in the previous two quarters of 2024, MENA, Europe and Integrated Verticals continued to be the fastest-growing segments. |
| Niklas Östberg, CEO and Co-Founder of Delivery Hero said: “We continue to achieve strong growth across our business driven by a consistent focus on customer experience over many years. There is a steady increase in engagement and loyalty among our customers as we roll out products and services such as DMarts, subscriptions, loyalty points, grocery, shops and more.“ |
| The Company’s cash balance was maintained at a strong level of €1.65bn at the end of Q3 2024, implying that Delivery Hero’s financial position remains solid. |
| Marie-Anne Popp, interim CFO of Delivery Hero, said: “The impressive double-digit growth rates across business segments highlight our ability to deliver sustainable and profitable growth. We are pleased to share that we now expect GMV and Total Segment Revenue growth to reach the upper end of guidance for FY 2024, and adj. EBITDA to remain in line with the base range of our guidance. Additionally, we expect to reach a milestone of €50-100 million in free cash flow for FY 2024, proving our financial resilience and disciplined capital allocation.” |
| Strong performance of MENA and Europe platform businesses |
| Delivery Hero’s MENA segment continued its strong growth trend in Q3 2024, achieving GMV growth of 30%1 YoY. This was driven by a 25% YoY increase in order volumes and attractive affordability initiatives, including vendor-funded deals. |
| In the Europe platform business, the Company’s GMV growth accelerated from 19%1 YoY in the previous quarter to 21%1 YoY this quarter. As a result of strong top-line development combined with increased efficiencies, the Company was able to reach break-even on adj. EBITDA level in the Europe platform business. |
| As announced last quarter, Delivery Hero has merged its Yemeksepeti, foodora, and Foodpanda business teams. Under unified new leadership, these brands are set to unlock synergies and further accelerate growth. |
| Strategy at work in the Americas, driving profitable growth |
| Q3 2024 has highlighted the Company’s successful strategy in driving growth and profitability across key emerging markets, particularly in the Americas platform segment, where focused efforts from the brand PedidosYa over recent years have led to improved profitability and GMV growth, strengthening the Company’s role in economies where a growing population and rising purchasing power continue to drive demand. |
| In Q3 2024, GMV growth increased to 21%1 YoY, driven by double-digit volume growth. In addition to the strong top-line performance, the segment has achieved break-even on adj. EBITDA during the quarter, with further profitability improvements expected in Q4 2024. Enhancing Customer experience through our multi-vertical approach has led to the rapid growth of quick commerce in the region. At the same time, customer loyalty and order frequency have improved, driven by our subscription offering. |
| Integrated Vertical segment on track to achieve positive adj. EBITDA this year |
| Delivery Hero’s Integrated Verticals segment maintained strong top-line momentum in Q3 2024, with GMV growth of 32%1 YoY. Half of this growth is driven by an increasing number of orders, while the other half results from growing basket sizes. The entire Integrated Verticals segment is on track to achieve positive adj. EBITDA in December of this year. |
| FY 2024 Outlook |
| The Company announced last quarter that it reached Free Cash Flow break-even in H1 2024, and has now raised Free Cash Flow2 guidance from positive to €50-100m. This reflects Delivery Hero’s clear focus on building a successful and highly cash-generative business. While Delivery Hero is updating its Adj. EBITDA guidance from previously €725-775m to the lower end of that range, the Company is raising its GMV growth guidance from previously 7-9%1 YoY to the upper end of 7-9%1 YoY, and Total Segment Revenue from previously 18-21%1 YoY to the upper end of 18-21%1 YoY. |
