EBITDA of €975-1,025 million Free Cash Flow5 of over €200 million Berlin, February 13, 2025 – Delivery Hero SE ("Delivery Hero," the "Company," or the "Group"), the world's leading local delivery platform, today released its Q4 and FY 2024 financial results. The Company showed a very strong performance, meeting its full year guidance, with Total Segment Revenue up by 22%1 YoY to €12.8 billion. Adj. EBITDA reached around €750 million from €254 million in FY 2023, and Free Cash Flow2 for FY 2024 increased by around €466 million to around €100 million. Delivery Hero also reported GMV growth of 8.3%1 for FY 2024, at €48.8 billion, and strong cash reserves of €3.8 billion. In Q4 2024, strong order development and increasing basket sizes drove Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) growth of 8%1 YoY, accelerating to 27% YoY outside Asia. Total Segment Revenue growth outpaced GMV growth with 23%1 YoY, driven by more sales at Dmarts, increased platform monetization and a growing AdTech business. Niklas Östberg, CEO and Co-Founder of Delivery Hero, said: “I am very proud of our team’s achievements. In 2024, we continued to invest in our products and services to ensure we deliver higher revenues, stronger profit margins, and maintain a solid cash position. As a result, we beat our guidance on growth and profitability. Now, our focus is on delivering the best possible service for our customers.” Strong progress on profitability in FY 2024 By focusing on growth and profitability, while strengthening its operations in competitive markets, the Company improved its Adj. EBITDA to around €750 million for the full year, an increase of almost half a billion Euros in FY 2024. In addition, the Integrated Verticals segment saw more than 50% improvement in Adj. EBITDA for FY 2024 and was close to break-even in December 2024. The Company’s Dmarts business generated a positive Adj. EBITDA in December 2024. Large cash position drives stability and growth opportunities In FY 2024, Delivery Hero strengthened its liquidity position with cash generation and proceeds. Listing one of its MENA brands, talabat, on the Dubai stock exchange in December 2024 generated €1.8 billion in net proceeds, increasing the Company’s cash reserves to €3.8 billion at the end of FY 2024. As announced earlier today, Delivery Hero intends to further optimize its capital structure by buying back approximately €1.0 billion of convertible bonds due in 2025, 2026, and 2027. Buybacks would be conducted by way of convertible bond tender offers, and financed from the proceeds of the talabat initial public offering. Marie-Anne Popp, CFO of Delivery Hero, said: “We ended 2024 in a strong financial position, with a significant Free Cash Flow uplift of around €466 million to around €100 million, and €3.8 billion in cash reserves. By reducing our net debt by 55% year-over-year to €1.9 billion, we now have a robust balance sheet. With the proceeds from the talabat IPO, we have even greater financial flexibility, allowing us to further enhance our capital structure by conducting convertible bond buybacks.” FY 2025 Outlook Delivery Hero expects continued growth in 2025, with GMV increasing by 8-10%1 throughout FY 2025, and Total Segment Revenue rising by 17-19%1. Adj. EBITDA is projected to reach between €975-1,025 million, while Free Cash Flow5 is expected to exceed €200 million. The Group will continue investing in technology and innovation to reinforce its position as the leading global delivery platform while driving profitability and cash flow.
