Amsterdam, 26 July 2023

Half Year 2023 Results

·    Northern Europe and UK and Ireland returned to GTV growth in Q2 2023

·    Half-year Adjusted EBITDA 1  improved to €143 million

·    UK and Ireland on track to reach a similarly high AEBITDA Margin as
Northern Europe

·    Fast approaching our positive free cash flow 2  target

Jitse Groen, CEO and founder of Just Eat Takeaway.com said: "Since our IPO,
our objective has been to build and extend large scale and sustainably
profitable positions in our markets. With the majority of our Orders coming
from Northern Europe and UK and Ireland, these two segments returning to
growth in the second quarter of 2023 is a key milestone. Encouragingly, UK and
Ireland is on its way to a similarly high profit margin as Northern Europe.
The remainder of the business is also showing improving GTV growth and
profitability trends, leading to the Company fast approaching its positive
free cash flow target."

 

Group highlights 3 

 

●      Northern Europe and UK and Ireland returned to year-on-year
Gross Transaction Value ('GTV') growth of 4% and 1% (3% at constant currency)
respectively in Q2 2023. As a consequence, the H1 2023 GTV growth for both
segments was also positive. North America and Southern Europe and ANZ are
following the same improving trend. GTV for the entire business declined by 4%
on a constant currency basis in Q2 2023.

●      Adjusted EBITDA amounted to €143 million in H1 2023,
reflecting a material improvement of €277 million compared with H1 2022.
Ongoing focus on efficiency in Delivery operations as well as general costs
saving initiatives were the main reasons for this increase. All operating
segments materially contributed to this improvement.

●      In Northern Europe, the Adjusted EBITDA Margin as a percentage
of GTV ('Adjusted EBITDA Margin') reached our 5.0% long-term target in H1
2023. The UK and Ireland segment, with a 1.8% margin, is on track to reach a
similarly high Adjusted EBITDA Margin.

●      We are fast approaching our positive free cash flow target. Free
cash flow before changes in working capital significantly improved to minus
€78 million in H1 2023 from minus €407 million in H1 2022. Excluding
exceptionals and a one-off 2012/2013 tax settlement with the Danish tax
authority, free cash flow before changes in working capital was minus €16
million.

●      Grubhub, with a free cash flow of minus €56 million in H1
2023, is also on a path to cash flow breakeven. We have initiated a number of
measures which we believe will lead to further improvements going forward.

●      Our global grocery proposition continues to progress well with
approx. 40,000 grocery Partners on the platform by 30 June 2023, a growth of
36% compared with the end of June 2022, with particularly strong progress in
the UK and Ireland.

●      Advertising 4  revenue was €99 million in H1 2023 excluding
Grubhub, a 33% increase compared with the same period last year, with
significant opportunities ahead to expand offerings within this vertical.
Grubhub's advertising revenue is excluded as this is part of a tiered
commission structure.

●      Brent Wissink informed the Company that he wishes to pursue
other opportunities and will be stepping down as Chief Financial Officer and
resign from the Management Board of the Company as per the Company's annual
general meeting in May 2024. The Supervisory Board will initiate the process
of finding a successor for Mr. Brent Wissink.

 

 

Segment highlights(3)

 

●      In the North America segment, GTV decreased by 12% to €5.1
billion in H1 2023, mainly caused by lower Order volumes, which were partly
offset by a higher ATV. Adjusted EBITDA turned positive and amounted to €51
million in H1 2023, from minus €4 million in H1 2022, despite the ongoing
headwind to segment profitability from fee caps in New York City. In parallel
to actively exploring a partial or full sale of Grubhub, we have appointed a
new CEO, are realising US$30 million+ run-rate savings from 2024 onwards
through a restructuring and have established a path to cash flow breakeven at
Grubhub, excluding any positive impact of a potential New York City fee cap
amendment.

●      In the Northern Europe segment, GTV increased by 2% to €3.8
billion in H1 2023 compared with H1 2022, driven by a higher ATV. Major
markets such as Germany and the Netherlands saw sequential improvement in
year-on-year Order growth. Northern Europe continued to demonstrate strong
improvements in profitability with an Adjusted EBITDA of €191 million in H1
2023, up from €124 million in H1 2022. The Adjusted EBITDA Margin was at our
5.0% long-term target in H1 2023, with potential for further improvement.

●      In the UK and Ireland segment, GTV increased by 1% at constant
currency in H1 2023 compared with H1 2022. Both Orders and GTV sequentially
grew in Q2 2023 compared with Q1 2023. Adjusted EBITDA improved significantly
to €56 million in H1 2023 from minus €18 million in H1 2022, showing
strong margin improvement with Adjusted EBITDA Margin reaching 1.8%.

●      In the Southern Europe and ANZ segment, Adjusted EBITDA losses
halved to minus €55 million in H1 2023 from minus €110 million in H1 2022
on the back of improved unit economics.

Other Financials

 

●      Just Eat Takeaway.com's cash and cash equivalents amounted to
€1,799 million as per 30 June 2023. We are well-capitalised to meet all our
future debt obligations.

●      We were able to use part our strong liquidity position to buy
back shares. Under the €150 million share buyback programme announced on 19
April 2023, 2.73% of issued shares were repurchased as per 21 July 2023.

●      Net loss for the period of €258 million in H1 2023 was mainly
driven by the non-cash amortisation of intangibles acquired through business
combinations.

Outlook

 

●      GTV growth to be in a range of -4% to +2% year-on-year in
2023(( 5 )), with a return to growth skewed towards the end of the year,
given the lower absolute Order level of H2 2022 versus H1 2022.

●      Management expects to deliver a positive Adjusted EBITDA of
approximately €275 million in 2023. This guidance includes additional
investments in food and non-food adjacencies, wage costs inflation and
reflects an uncertain macro-economic environment.

●      Management expects free cash flow before working capital to turn
positive in mid-2024.

●      The long-term objectives for Just Eat Takeaway.com remain
unchanged.

●      Management, together with its advisers, continues to actively
explore the partial or full sale of Grubhub. There can be no certainty that
any such strategic actions will be agreed or what the timing of such
agreements will be. Further announcements will be made as and when
appropriate.

North America is the largest segment in terms of Orders and GTV, representing
32% of the total Just Eat Takeaway.com Orders and 39% of the total GTV in the
first six months of 2023.

 

During H1 2023, North America Orders decreased by 15% compared with the same
period last year. This year-on-year decline can be attributed to the impact of
the pandemic primarily in Q1 2022, and the competitive nature of the North
American market. In Q2 2023, we observed a return towards pre-pandemic
seasonal ordering patterns, with improvements in year-on-year Order growth
from Q1 2023 to Q2 2023.

 

GTV decreased by 12% to €5,130 million in H1 2023 from €5,832 million in
H1 2022. This was primarily driven by lower Order volume, partially offset by
a higher ATV.

 

North America revenue declined by 13% to €1,106 million in H1 2023 from
€1,271 million in H1 2022, largely driven by the decrease in GTV.

 

North America demonstrated continued improvement in Adjusted EBITDA during H1
2023. Adjusted EBITDA increased to €51 million in H1 2023 from minus €4
million in H1 2022. The Adjusted EBITDA Margin improved to 1.0% in H1 2023
from minus 0.1% in H1 2022 mainly driven by the improved efficiency of our
Delivery network as a result of increased Order pooling, allowing a courier to
combine multiple Orders into one Delivery round, and enhanced technology.

 

As fee caps in New York City remain a headwind, we continue to pursue legal
and legislative remedies as we believe fee caps are contrary to the law.

 

In July 2022, Grubhub and Amazon.com Services LLC ('Amazon') entered into a
commercial agreement in the US, offering Amazon Prime members a one-year free
membership of Grubhub+, Grubhub's loyalty program. In June 2023, Grubhub and
Amazon announced the extension for an additional year of their one-year free
Grubhub+ offer for Amazon Prime members in the United States.

The Northern Europe segment made up 30% of the total Just Eat Takeaway.com's
Orders and 29% of the total GTV during the first six months of 2023, with
Germany being the largest market in terms of Orders and GTV.

 

Northern Europe experienced an 8% year-on-year Order decline in H1 2023
compared with H1 2022, primarily attributed to the impact of the pandemic on
the prior year comparatives.

 

In H1 2023, Northern Europe returned to GTV growth, with a year-on-year
increase of 2% to €3,799 million in H1 2023 from €3,722 million in H1
2022. Growth in GTV was driven by higher ATV impacted by food price inflation.
Notably, we delivered particularly encouraging GTV growth in key markets such
as Germany.

 

Northern Europe revenue grew by 10% to €624 million in H1 2023 from €570
million in H1 2022. Revenue growth outpaced GTV growth, fueled by strategic
optimisation of Partner and consumer pricing that started at the end of 2022.
We also saw higher Promoted Placement revenue driven by the increased demand
from our Partners.

 

Northern Europe Adjusted EBITDA increased by 54% to €191 million in H1 2023
from €124 million in H1 2022. The Adjusted EBITDA Margin improved to 5.0% in
H1 2023 from 3.3% in H1 2022, and remained broadly flat compared with H2 2022,
driven by the increase in revenue as a percentage of GTV, improvements in
Delivery efficiency and targeted operating expenses reduction programmes.
Northern Europe remained the segment with the highest Adjusted EBITDA Margin
within Just Eat Takeaway.com.

UK and Ireland together made up 27% of the total Just Eat Takeaway.com Orders
and 24% of the total GTV during the first six months of 2023.

 

UK and Ireland experienced a 9% decline in Orders in H1 2023 compared with H1
2022 which can be attributed to lapping the pandemic tailwinds in 2022. In Q2
2023, the year-on-year decline improved significantly compared with Q1 2023.

 

GTV declined 3% year-on-year to €3,164 million in H1 2023 from €3,260
million in H1 2022, mainly driven by foreign currency exchange movements. GTV
showed positive trends shifting from a year-on-year decline of minus 6% in Q1
2023 to year-on-year growth of 1% in Q2 2023.

 

UK and Ireland revenue declined by 4% to €629 million in H1 2023 from €658
million in H1 2022, driven by the decline in GTV and targeted promotional
campaigns offering reduced Delivery fees.

 

Adjusted EBITDA increased to €56 million in H1 2023 from minus €18 million
in H1 2022 and the Adjusted EBITDA Margin improved to 1.8% in H1 2023 from
minus 0.5% in H1 2022 driven by enhanced Delivery efficiency through Order
pooling and simplification of our Delivery operation. As a result, the
Delivery cost per Order notably reduced and additional efficiencies were
achieved through streamlining our operations.

 

Our grocery business continued to expand at a rapid pace. At the end of H1
2023, we had over 5,000 grocery Partners on the platform, a significant
increase from the 1,000 grocery Partners we had on the platform at the end of
H1 2022. This offers significant opportunities to grow our future revenues and
further optimise our Delivery network by expanding our offering to our
consumers.

Southern Europe and ANZ made up 11% of the total Just Eat Takeaway.com Orders
and 9% of the total GTV during the first six months of 2023, with Australia
being the largest market in this segment.

 

During H1 2023, Orders for the Southern Europe and ANZ segment declined by
17%. This year-on-year decline can be attributed to the impact of the pandemic
primarily in Q1 2022. In Q2 2023, we observed a return to pre-pandemic
seasonal ordering patterns.

 

GTV experienced an 18% decrease to €1,130 million in H1 2023 from €1,373
million in H1 2022, primarily driven by lower Order volume and foreign
currency exchange movements.

 

Southern Europe and ANZ revenue declined in line with GTV by 18% to €229
million in H1 2023 from €280 million in H1 2022.

 

Southern Europe and ANZ had an Adjusted EBITDA of minus €55 million in H1
2023 compared with minus €110 million in H1 2022 and the Adjusted EBITDA
Margin improved to minus 4.9% in H1 2023 from minus 8.0% in H1 2022. This
improvement in Adjusted EBITDA was mainly driven by structural actions taken
to streamline operations, more efficient customer service driven by better
technology, and more efficient Delivery. Notably, we delivered particularly
encouraging Adjusted EBITDA improvements in Australia and New Zealand where
the Adjusted EBITDA Margin improved to minus 2% in H1 2023 compared with minus
5% in H1 2022.

 

Head office and allocations

 

Head office costs relate mostly to non-allocated expenses and include all
central operating expenses such as staff costs and expenses for global support
teams such as Legal and Compliance, InfoSec Risk and Control, Finance,
Internal Audit, Data Analytics, Human Resources and the Management Board.

 

Head office expenses were €100 million in H1 2023 compared with €127
million in H1 2022 and €94 million in H2 2022. Head office expenses
increased by 6% compared with H2 2022, mainly due to inflation related cost
adjustments.

Revenue

                       Six-month period ended 30 June
 € millions            2023              2022

 Ancillary revenue     114               131
 Revenue               2,588             2,781

 

Order-driven revenue

Order-driven revenue consists of all revenue streams earned from Orders placed
on Just Eat Takeaway.com's platforms. Order-driven revenue is earned from
Partners and consumers and primarily includes commission fees, consumer fees,
consumer Delivery fees charged on a per Order basis and Promoted Placement
fees which are earned on a per Order basis.

 

Order-driven revenue decreased by 7% to €2,474 million in H1 2023 compared
with €2,650 million in H1 2022, due to a 12% decrease in Orders partially
offset by higher ATV and higher Promoted Placement revenue.

 

Ancillary revenue

Ancillary revenue consists of any other revenue streams which are not earned
from Orders placed on Just Eat Takeaway.com's platforms. It primarily includes
Promoted Placement fees which are not earned on a per Order basis, sale of
merchandise and subscription fees.

 

Ancillary revenue decreased by 13% to €114 million in H1 2023 compared with
€131 million in H1 2022. While Promoted Placement revenue remained stable on
a year-on-year basis, there was a slight reduction in merchandise and
subscription revenue.

 

Order fulfilment costs

                         Six-month period ended 30 June
 € millions              2023              2022
 Courier costs           (1,143)           (1,349)
 Order processing costs  (263)             (286)
 Order fulfilment costs  (1,406)           (1,635)

 

Courier costs, which include all salary and staff expenses of our employed
couriers, decreased by 15% to €1,143 million in H1 2023 from €1,349
million in H1 2022. This decrease was driven by year-on-year reduction in
Delivery Orders, Delivery network optimisation, pooling, and advancements in
technology. These improvements resulted in lower courier costs per Order.

 

Order processing costs decreased by 8% to €263 million in H1 2023 from
€286 million in H1 2022, primarily driven by the decrease in Orders partly
offset by higher Order management costs.

 

Revenue less Order fulfilment costs

                                      Six-month period ended 30 June
 € millions                           2023              2022
 Revenue                              2,588             2,781

 Revenue less Order fulfilment costs  1,182             1,146

 

Revenue less Order fulfilment costs increased by 3% to €1,182 million in H1
2023 from €1,146 million in H1 2022. The increase is due to a higher ATV and
lower costs per Order driven by higher Delivery efficiency, which more than
offset the negative impact of wage inflation.

 

Staff costs

                                Six-month period ended 30 June
 € millions                     2023              2022
 Wages and salaries             (443)             (460)
 Social security charges        (59)              (66)
 Pension premium contributions  (24)              (24)
 Share-based payments           (78)              (88)
 Temporary staff expenses       (11)              (11)
 Staff costs                    (614)             (649)

 

Staff costs decreased by 5% to €614 million in H1 2023 compared with €649
million in H1 2022. Our staff, excluding couriers, decreased to an average
of 13,775 FTEs in H1 2023 from an average of 16,736 FTEs in the same
period last year. This FTE decrease was largely due to Group restructuring
activities and the hiring pause that was in place for the second half of 2022.

 

Share-based payments include the Long-Term Incentive Plan and the Short-Term
Incentive Plan for the Management Board, as well as the various long and
short-term share (option) plans for employees (as described in Note 7 to the
Consolidated financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2022).
Share-based payments decreased to €78 million in H1 2023 compared with €88
million in H1 2022, mainly driven by one-time retention shares awarded in H1
2022.

 

Other operating expenses

                           Six-month period ended 30 June
 € millions                2023              2022
 Marketing expenses        (299)             (414)
 Other operating expenses  (245)             (314)
 Other operating expenses  (544)             (728)

 

Marketing expenses

Marketing expenses can primarily be distinguished as relating to (i)
performance marketing (or pay-per-click/pay-per-Order) which directly
generates traffic and Orders, such as search engine marketing, app marketing
and affiliate marketing (rewarding third parties for referrals to our
platforms) and (ii) brand marketing, such as television, online media, and
outdoor advertising (billboards).

 

Marketing expenses decreased by 28% to €299 million in H1 2023 compared with
€414 million in H1 2022, primarily due to efficiencies in brand marketing
spend as well as a reduction in performance marketing spend due to lower Order
volumes and costs per Order spend optimisation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses decreased by 22% to €245 million in H1 2023,
compared with €314 million in H1 2022, mainly driven by measures in relation
to staff related expenses and professional fees. These measures allowed us to
effectively manage costs while maintaining a focus on operational efficiency,
ultimately contributing to a reduction in overall expenditures.

 

Depreciation, amortisation and impairments

Depreciation and amortisation expenses increased to €306 million in H1 2023
compared with €272 million in H1 2022 due to amortisation of intangible
assets, mainly consumer lists and development costs. No impairments of
goodwill or intangible assets were recognised in H1 2023. During the same
period last year and following the identification of impairment indicators, an
impairment loss was recognised in the amount of €2,977 million for the
cash-generating unit United States.

 

Share of results of associates

Our share of results of associates in H1 2023 was nil compared with €39
million in H1 2022, explained by the sale of our investment in iFood in H2
2022.

 

Income tax benefit

In H1 2023, the income tax benefit was €59 million, compared with €64
million income tax benefit in H1 2022. The income tax benefit is composed of
€14 million current tax expense (H1 2022: €18 million expense) and €73
million deferred tax benefit (H1 2022: €82 million deferred tax benefit).
The deferred tax benefit is mainly related to the temporary differences from
the amortisation of intangible assets and the recognition of available tax
losses carried forward.

 

Loss for the period

As a result of the factors described above, Just Eat Takeaway.com realised a
net loss after tax of €258 million in H1 2023.

 Total equity and liabilities                               11,831        12,389

 

Non-current assets, mainly consisting of goodwill and other intangible assets,
decreased to €9,522 million as at 30 June 2023, compared with €9,742
million as at 31 December 2022. The movement is mainly due to the amortisation
of intangible assets, partly offset by foreign currency exchange movements.

 

Current assets include the iFood contingent consideration, which is accounted
for at fair value through profit or loss. Our assessment of the fair value as
at 30 June 2023 remained materially consistent since 31 December 2022 at €5
million. The final value of the contingent consideration will be established
based on year-on-year changes to the forward GTV and gross profit multiples of
a peer set of predominantly developing market food delivery peers based on
volume weighted average share prices during August and September 2022 and
2023.

 

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to €1,799 million as at 30 June 2023,
from €2,020 million as at 31 December 2022. This decrease was primarily
driven by cash outflows from operating activities of €41 million, capital
expenditures of €67 million and cash outflows in relation to the share
buyback programme of €71 million that was initiated in H1 2023.

 

Shareholders' equity decreased to €7,665 million as at 30 June 2023, from
€7,903 million as at 31 December 2022. This decrease was mainly driven by
accumulated losses over the period as well as the share buyback programme
resulting in treasury shares in shareholders' equity.

The solvency ratio, defined as total equity divided by total assets, was 65%
as at 30 June 2023, up from 64% as at 31 December 2022, driven mainly by
accumulated losses over the period.

 

Non-current liabilities decreased to €2,744 million as at 30 June 2023, from
€3,085 million as at 31 December 2022, mainly driven by the reclassification
of the 2019 convertible bonds to current liabilities as they are maturing
within one year.

 Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents                            (222)             (438)

 

 

Net cash used in operating activities reduced to €41 million in H1 2023
compared with net cash used in operating activities of €266 million in H1
2022. The decrease was mainly driven by improvements in net loss for the
period and a net working capital increase.

 

Net cash used in investing activities reduced to €67 million in H1 2023
compared with net cash used in investing activities of €146 million in H1
2022, mainly driven by reduced investment in property and equipment and,
following the sale of our associate iFood in H2 2022, no funding provided in
2023 compared with €28 million in H1 2022.

 

Net cash used in financing activities increased to €114 million in H1 2023,
compared with €37 million used in H1 2022. The increase was mainly due to
the cash outflows in relation to the share buyback programme.

Annual General Meeting

On 17 May 2023, the Company's Annual General Meeting of shareholders took
place. All resolutions were adopted by a large majority vote.

Events after the reporting period

There have been no events after the balance sheet date that require
disclosure.

Outlook

·      GTV growth to be in a range of -4% to +2% year-on-year in 2023,
with a return to growth skewed towards the end of the year, given the lower
absolute Order level of H2 2022 versus H1 2022.

·      Management expects to deliver a positive Adjusted EBITDA of
approximately €275 million in 2023. This guidance includes additional
investments in food and non-food adjacencies, wage costs inflation and
reflects an uncertain macro-economic environment.

·      Management expects free cash flow before working capital to turn
positive in mid-2024.

·      The long-term objectives for Just Eat Takeaway.com remain
unchanged.

·      Management, together with its advisers, continues to actively
explore the partial or full sale of Grubhub. There can be no certainty that
any such strategic actions will be agreed or what the timing of such
agreements will be. Further announcements will be made as and when
appropriate.

Principal risks

In conducting our business, we face risks that may interfere with the
achievement of our business objectives. It is important to understand the
nature of these risks. We assess our risks through in-depth interviews with
members of the Management Board and senior management as well as numerous risk
workshops and interviews throughout the organisation during the year. Just Eat
Takeaway.com identified 12 principal risks aligned with its Vision and
Strategy which are categorised into five broad categories as set out in the
chapter "Risk Management" of our 2022 Annual Report. Any of these risks and
events or circumstances described therein may have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation.
The risks outlined in the 2022 Annual Report continue to apply in 2023. These
risks are not the only ones that we face. Some risks may not yet be known to
us and certain risks that we do not currently believe to be material could
become material in the future.

accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' and should be read in
conjunction with the Company's last annual consolidated financial statements
as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022 and any public announcements
made by the Company during the interim reporting period. The accounting
policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements
are the same as those applied in the Company's consolidated financial
statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022, except for the
estimation of the income tax expense which is recognised based on management's
estimate of the weighted average effective annual income tax rate expected for
the full year.

Disclaimer

Statements included in this press release that are not historical facts
(including any statements concerning investment objectives, other plans and
objectives of management for future operations or economic performance, or
assumptions or forecasts related thereto) are, or may be deemed to be,
forward-looking statements, including "forward-looking statements". These
forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking
terminology, including the terms "anticipates", "expects", "intends", "may",
or "will" or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable
terminology, or, by discussions of strategy, plans, objectives, goals, future
events or intentions. Forward-looking statements may and often do differ
materially from actual results. Any forward-looking statements reflect the
Company's current view with respect to future events and are subject to risks
relating to future events and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions
relating to the Company's business, results of operations, financial position,
liquidity, prospects, growth or strategies. Past performance is no guide to
future performance and persons needing advice should consult an independent
financial adviser. Forward-looking statements reflect knowledge and
information available at, and speak only as of, the date they are made, and
the Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update,
review or revise any forward-looking statement contained in this press
release. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
forward-looking statements.

No Offer or Solicitation

This document shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an
offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall
there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification
under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

Alternative Performance Measures

This document includes certain alternative performance measures. Just Eat
Takeaway.com uses these measures as key performance measures because it
believes they facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to
period by excluding potential differences primarily caused by variations in
capital structures, tax positions, the impact of acquisitions and
restructuring, the impact of depreciation and amortisation expense on its
fixed assets and the impact of share-based payment expenses. These alternative
performance measures are not measurements of Just Eat Takeaway's financial
performance under IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to
performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS. These should be read in
conjunction with Just Eat Takeaway.com's financial statements prepared in
accordance with IFRS.

2    Basis of preparation

 

Statement of compliance

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six-month
period ended 30 June 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34
'Interim Financial Reporting' and should be read in conjunction with the
Company's last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year
ended 31 December 2022 and any public announcements made by the Company during
the interim reporting period. They do not include all the information required
for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union
('IFRS'). However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events
and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in
Just Eat Takeaway.com's financial position and performance since the last
consolidated annual financial statements. Just Eat Takeaway.com's financial
position and performance are not significantly affected by seasonality or
cyclicality.

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorised for
issue by the Management Board of the Company (the 'Management Board') and the
Supervisory Board of the Company on 26 July 2023.

 

Amendments to 2022 presentation

During 2022, Just Eat Takeaway.com amended the presentation of its statement
of cash flows to separately show the movements in other non-current assets and
provisions. Comparative amounts in the consolidated statement of cash flows
for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022 were reclassified for consistency
as presented below.

Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim
financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company's
consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December
2022, except for the estimation of the income tax expense which is recognised
based on management's estimate of the weighted average effective annual income
tax rate expected for the full year. The new and amended standards effective
from 1 January 2023 do not have a material effect on the condensed
consolidated interim financial statements.

 

Standards issued but not yet effective

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been issued but are
not yet effective for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 and have not
been early adopted. None of the accounting standards issued but not yet
effective are expected to have a significant impact on the Company's condensed
consolidated interim financial statements.

 

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the
Management Board is required to make judgements that have a significant impact
on the amounts recognised and to make estimates and assumptions about the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. The areas that involve critical accounting judgement and key
sources of estimation uncertainty are the same as those described in the
Company's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31
December 2022.

 

3    Events that occurred during the current period

 

Deregistration under the United States Securities and Exchange Act of 1934
('Exchange Act')

Following the delisting of its American Depositary Receipts from the Nasdaq
Global Select Market as per 14 March 2022, the Company voluntarily filed for
deregistration of its ordinary shares under the Exchange Act on 14 March 2023,
which deregistration became effective on 12 June 2023. The Company's main
considerations for the deregistration were the low trading volumes of the
Company's securities in the United States as well as the costs associated not
considered to be offset by the benefits from having its securities registered
under the Exchange Act. The Company's ADSs continue to be quoted and traded on
the OTC Markets via a sponsored Level I Programme.

 

Share buyback

On 19 April 2023, the Company initiated a share buyback programme to
repurchase ordinary shares in the amount of up to €150 million and for a
number of shares not exceeding the authority granted by the General Meeting on
4 May 2022, being 10% of the issued shares. The repurchased shares will be
used to cover the Company's obligations under the various share-based payment
plans or will be cancelled to reduce the issued share capital. The programme
is expected to complete no later than December 2023. Reference is made to Note
6 Equity for additional details.

 

4    Operating segments

 

Operating segments are reported on a regional level consistent with the
internal reporting provided to the Management Board, which is considered to be
Just Eat Takeaway.com's Chief Operating Decision Maker. The Management Board
assesses the financial performance of operating segments mainly based on
revenues and Adjusted EBITDA.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Just Eat Takeaway.com's operating income / loss
for the period adjusted for depreciation, amortisation, impairments,
share-based payments, acquisition- and integration related costs and other
items not directly related to underlying operating performance ("Other
items"). These Other items include, amongst others, restructuring costs,
certain legal and regulatory costs, and certain insurance income and costs.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a defined performance measure in IFRS. Just Eat
Takeaway.com's definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable with
similarly titled performance measures and disclosures by other companies.

 

Just Eat Takeaway.com evolved the structure of its organisation to a matrix
organisation in the second half of 2022 to place more responsibility at the
regional and country levels. The segment Adjusted EBITDA allocations therefore
changed and mainly resulted in a shift between Head office costs and
individual segments, as well as changes in cost recharges and allocations
between segments.

 

The following is an analysis of Just Eat Takeaway.com's revenue and results by
reportable segment and the non-allocated expenses included in head office as a
reconciliation to the consolidated figures.

5    Income taxes

 

Income tax expense is recognised at an amount determined by multiplying the
profit (loss) before tax for the interim reporting period by management's best
estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full
financial year per jurisdiction, adjusted for the tax effect of certain items
recognised in full in the interim period. As such, the effective tax rate
('ETR') in the interim financial statements may differ from management's
estimate of the ETR for the annual financial statements.

 

The Company's consolidated ETR for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 was
19% (six-month period ended 30 June 2022: 2%). The income tax benefit amounted
to €59 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 (six-month period
ended 30 June 2022: €64 million income tax benefit). This relates mainly to
the temporary differences from the amortisation of intangible assets and the
recognition of available tax losses carried forward.

4,964,641 ordinary shares at an average price of €14.27 as part of the share
buyback programme initiated on 19 April 2023. No shares were used to settle
share-based payment obligations nor cancelled during the period.

7    Basic and diluted loss per share

 

Numbers of weighted-average shares used in the calculation of basic and
diluted loss per share are as follows:

 

                                            Six-month period ended 30 June
                                            2023              2022
 For the purpose of basic loss per share    216,037,190       212,842,951
 For the purpose of diluted loss per share  216,037,190       212,842,951

 

The number of potential dilutive weighted-average shares not taken in
consideration above, due to their anti-dilutive effect, amount to 25,830,564
ordinary shares (30 June 2022: 21,189,366 ordinary shares), mainly related to
the convertible bonds and share-based payment plans.

 

 

8    Provisions and Contingent Liabilities

 

Legal proceedings

Except for the matters disclosed below, there are no governmental, legal or
arbitration proceedings (including any such proceedings which are pending or
threatened of which Just Eat Takeaway.com is aware), during a period covering
at least the previous twelve months which may have, or have had in the recent
past, significant effects on the Just Eat Takeaway.com's financial position or
results.

 

 

 

 

Gig Economy Matters

The classification of couriers as independent contractors has been, and
continues to be, the subject of challenge in certain markets.

Although Just Eat Takeaway.com continues to challenge claimants in such cases,
we recognise the difficulty in assessing the possible outcomes of these
ongoing investigations. If Just Eat Takeaway.com considers the chance of
economic outflow probable, a provision has been recognised. For the majority
of these matters, the chance of economic outflow is not considered probable at
this stage.

 

Civil Litigation

There were no significant developments during the six-month period ended 30
June 2023 in relation to the provisions and contingent liabilities disclosed
in our Annual Report 2022.

 

9    Events after the reporting period

 

There have been no events after the financial reporting date that require
