1 The Grubhub business was consolidated from 15 June 2021 and the Just Eat business was consolidated from 15 April 2020 on an IFRS basis. These figures are presented as if the combination was completed on 1 January 2020 to provide comparable information on a combined basis. Figures may not add up due to rounding

In the full year 2021, Just Eat Takeaway.com processed 1.1 billion Orders¹, representing a 33% increase compared with 2020. The Company processed 274 million orders in the fourth quarter of 2021, representing a 14% increase compared with the same period of 2020.

Gross Transaction Value (GTV¹) was €28.2 billion for the full year of 2021, representing an increase of 31% compared with 2020. GTV¹ amounted to €7.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021, up 17% compared with the same period of 2020.

The Grubhub business was consolidated from 15 June 2021, and the Just Eat business was consolidated from 15 April 2020. These figures are presented as if the combination was completed on 1 January 2020 to provide comparable information for the full year period. These numbers are unaudited.


 

 

The adjusted EBITDA margin¹ improved substantially in the fourth quarter of 2021, and as a result the adjusted EBITDA margin¹ for the full year of 2021 is expected to be at the midpoint of the guided range of minus 1% and minus 1.5% of GTV.

The Company achieved both the GTV¹ and adjusted EBITDA margin targets. GTV¹ was €28.2 billion, within the expected range of €28 to €30 billion. The adjusted EBITDA margin¹ for the full year 2021 is expected to be at the midpoint of the guided range. The full year order growth, excluding Grubhub, was more than 40% year-on-year, versus the targeted 45%, despite the dampening effect of restaurants reopening.

The Company announced several on-demand grocery delivery partnerships, building on its extensive Delivery network, amongst others with Asda and One Stop in the UK. In Canada, a dark store model through Skip Express Lane is rolled out nationally, reaching 70% of Skip’s consumer base by year-end.

The UK & Ireland was the fastest growing segment for both the quarter and the year, while significantly improving adjusted EBITDA. The Company will continue to invest heavily, especially in its London network, while it expects to further improve profitability in 2022.

In North America, Grubhub continued to make good progress increasing restaurant selection for diners, most notably in New York, and drove meaningful expansion of GH+ users. A recently launched partnership with Instacart and a Grubhub branded convenience pilot (Grubhub Goods) with 7-Eleven further extends Grubhub’s proposition to drive growth. The Company remains in discussion with several potential strategic partners to strengthen its US position.

In Northern Europe, Lieferando added 6.9 million incremental orders in Germany in the fourth quarter of 2021, and 47.5 million incremental orders in 2021, compared with the same period last year. This increased scale led to ongoing profitability improvements.

Just Eat Takeaway.com welcomes the EU Commission's proposals to improve conditions for workers and help them access social protections. Since the Company already employs tens of thousands of couriers across the EU, management believes the Company will benefit from this legislation.

Management reiterates the following financial targets:

 

o

GTV¹ to grow by mid-teens percentage points year-on-year in 2022

 

o

2021 has been the peak year of losses, with 2022 adjusted EBITDA margin improving to the range of minus 0.6% to minus 0.8% of GTV

 

o

In excess of €30 billion of GTV to be added over the next five years

 

o

Long term group adjusted EBITDA margin in excess of 5% of GTV

As announced at the Capital Markets Day on 21 October 2021, the Company changed its reporting structure to better reflect the Company’s existing organisational and management structure and provide investors with greater clarity on Just Eat Takeaway.com’s underlying business performance across its regions. A reconciliation to the old structure is included in this release.

No Offer or Solicitation

This presentation 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Alternative Performance Measures

This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC rules and alternative performance measures as defined by European rules. Just Eat Takeaway.com uses these non-GAAP financial measures and alternative performance measures, respectively, 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 amortization expense on its fixed assets and the impact of stock-based compensation expense. These non-GAAP financial measures and 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 and should be read in conjunction with Just Eat Takeaway.com's financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. Just Eat Takeaway.com has provided a reconciliation of those measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures in Just Eat Takeaway.com's 2020 Annual Report.
