Berlin, 5 February 2024 – Delivery Hero SE (“Delivery Hero”, the “Company” or the “Group”), the world’s leading local delivery platform, today publishes preliminary results for Q4 2023 and FY 2023, confirming that it has delivered on all guidance parameters for FY 2023. Group GMV grew by 6.7% YoY to EUR 12.3 billion in Q4 2023 and by 6.8% to EUR 47.6 billion in FY 2023, meeting the 5-7% GMV guidance range for FY 20233. 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. 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 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. All numbers presented in this release are unaudited and based on preliminary information. Delivery Hero will publish its additional preliminary numbers for Q4 2023 in its Trading Update in combination with a conference call as previously scheduled on February 14, 2024.
Delivery Hero – Guidance FY 2024
Delivery Hero – Key Performance Indicators Q4 FY 20234
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. 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.
