  • The Company confirms previous guidance to generate a positive adjusted EBITDA for its Platform business in FY 2022, and is on a clear path towards break-even (including Glovo) for the entire Group in FY 2023
  • Delivery Hero's Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) increased 31% YoY at EUR 10.1 billion, and Total Segment Revenue grew 52% YoY at EUR 2.1 billion in the first quarter of 2022
  • Delivery Hero has boosted its pro forma cash position to EUR 3.5 billion (end of FY 2021) through a syndicated debt financing

Berlin, 28 April 2022 - Delivery Hero SE ("Delivery Hero", "the Company" or "the Group"), the world's leading local delivery platform, today published its financials for the first quarter of 2022[1]. The GMV of Q1 2022 showcased a strong development of +31% YoY, hitting EUR 10.1 billion and outgrowing other online delivery platforms. The Company's Total Segment Revenue reached EUR 2.1 billion in Q1 2022, corresponding to a 52% YoY growth.

Niklas Östberg, CEO and Co-Founder of Delivery Hero, said: "Over the past years, Delivery Hero has built a true leader in food delivery with operations in around 50 countries, which will become 74 upon closing of Glovo[2], with leading positions in 54 of them. Building a sustainable, profitable business based on an amazing customer experience has always been the destination of Delivery Hero's journey. We have never lost sight of this goal and we are pleased to confirm that we are on a clear path to profitability, delivering on our promises to shareholders and to our entire delivery ecosystem."

FY 2022 outlook and break-even at Group level in FY 2023
Delivery Hero confirms its FY 2022 guidance[3] of EUR 44-45 billion GMV and EUR 9.5-10.5 billion Total Segment Revenue, anticipating an adjusted EBITDA/GMV margin of around -1.0% to -1.2%, with its Integrated Verticals[4] segment expected to amount to an adjusted EBITDA of up to EUR -525 million. The Company expects that it will break even for its Platform business[5] as early as FY 2022, while it expects to generate an adjusted EBITDA between EUR 0 and 100 million (including Glovo) in Q4 2022, committing to a positive adjusted EBITDA for the entire Group in FY 2023.

In Q1 2022, Delivery Hero achieved a record high and positive contribution margin[6] within its own-delivery[7] business for all four regional segments (Americas, Asia, Europe, MENA), and together with numerous actionable levers, such as subscription service and advertising revenue opportunities, the Company is on track to drive sustainable value and reach its long-term EBITDA/GMV margin target of 5-8%.

Emmanuel Thomassin, CFO of Delivery Hero, said: "Our team at Delivery Hero achieved solid results for the first quarter of 2022 and we are on track to deliver on our financial promises. These results prove that we have built a trusted platform and a family of brands that are appreciated by both new and existing customers. The loyalty of our customers, as well as their ordering frequency, testify to the quality of our products and are essential for our long-term margin. This is the foundation for our company on the path to profitability. All this happened in times where the entire industry is facing several challenges right now, from post COVID effects on customer behavior and geopolitical impacts, to inflation and macroeconomic developments."

Quick commerce - reaching higher efficiency with investments gradually declining
As the leading global quick commerce platform, Delivery Hero continues to believe in this highly attractive growth area. In Q1 2022, the Integrated Verticals segment GMV grew 115% YoY, reaching EUR 410 million, and segment revenue increased 106% YoY, hitting EUR 374 million. Following the peak of investments in Dmart[8] launches, aimed at expanding network density and customer coverage, the Company has now amplified its focus on order volume and operational efficiency to improve gross profit margin. In accordance with the planned deceleration of investment, 48 new Dmarts opened in Q1 2022 (compared to 213 in Q4 2021), resulting in 1,122 warehouses in total across the globe by the end of March 2022.

Financial position
In April 2022, Delivery Hero successfully raised €1.4bn loan financing. The financing included a EUR 1.0 billion equivalent term loan component, which further increased Delivery Hero's ample cash position to EUR 3.5 billion, on a pro forma basis using end FY 2021 cash. In addition, the financing included a EUR 375 million revolving credit facility. Through this transaction, the Company diversified its capital structure and further enhanced its financial flexibility. Delivery Hero's financial position remains solid.
