Delivery Hero SE (the "Company") and its consolidated subsidiaries, together Delivery Hero Group (also "DH", "DH Group", "Delivery Hero" or "Group"), provide online and food delivery services in over 40 countries and four geographical segments, comprising Europe, Middle East and North Africa ("MENA"), Asia and Americas.
The Company has been trading as Delivery Hero SE with its registered office in Berlin. Further information on the Group structure and segments can be found in the chapters "Group structure" and "Segments".
The subsidiaries of the Group operate Internet platforms under various brand names, where users of the platform are referred to restaurants as well as other vendors and provided with on-demand delivery services. The Delivery Hero Internet platforms are aligned to the demands of the local end customers who can choose from a wide range of menu items from restaurants in their neighborhood. Orders can be placed by app or via website and are subsequently paid either in cash or via online payment methods. As an option, Delivery Hero offers its partner restaurants a point of sale system in order for them to immediately view and accept orders made on the platform. Furthermore, Delivery Hero offers products and services for restaurants, such as food packaging, advertising and printing services. In addition to the online food ordering platforms, the Group also offers own delivery services to restaurants without this capability. The own delivery fleet is coordinated using proprietary dispatch software.
Delivery Hero generates a large portion of its revenue from online marketplace services, primarily on the basis of orders placed. The commission fees are based on a contractually specified percentage of the order value. The percentage varies depending on the country, type of restaurant and services provided, such as the use of a point of sale system, last mile delivery and marketing support.
In addition to commissions, Delivery Hero generates revenue from delivery fees and non-commission based revenue in particular premium placements. Premium placement means that, for a fee, restaurants are ranked on top amonq all the listed restaurants in their relevant delivery area displayed in a specific manner.
In the second half of 2019 Delivery Hero accelerated the rollout of delivery-only stores ("dark stores"). Through our delivery platforms, customers are offered online a broad variety of stock keeping units (SKUs) that are delivered to the customer in less than 15 minutes on average.
Alongside the management of the Group, Delivery Hero SE assumes a range of IT, marketing and other services, in particular commercial and technical consultancy services. In addition, as the holding company, Delivery Hero SE assumes functions such as Group controlling and accounting, public relations, investor relations, risk management and human resources management.
The Delivery Hero Group's business model is based on the vision of the management team to provide platform users with an amazing on-demand experience. This includes appealing and seamless handling of the order as well as first-class quality of food and a top delivery service.
In order to enhance clarity we mainly limited the disclosures of the combined management report to those required by law. Therefore information on corporate strategy is no longer included in this management report. Information on our corporate strategy is available on our website and within other parts of the annual report.
The parent company Delivery Hero SE, with its headquarter in Berlin, was founded in 2011 and has since expanded its presence in local markets worldwide with various brands. Delivery Hero Group comprises 133 companies as of the reporting date (previous year: 126 companies). For further details, refer to Section D.01. of the consolidated financial statements. Delivery Hero SE exercises either direct or indirect control over all subsidiaries.
The business of Delivery Hero is divided into the following four geographical segments:
The services and order platforms are suited to local market demand and the respective competitive situation.
The MENA segment includes Turkey, while Canada is part of the Americas segment. In the prior year, the Asia segment included Australia, which was closed in the third quarter 2018.
In the MENA segment, Delivery Hero is represented in the markets of Bahrain, Dubai, Egypt, Jordan, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with the brands Talabat, Carriage, Hungerstation and Otlob.
Furthermore the MENA segment includes Turkey, the most mature of our food delivery markets in the MENA segment, where the Group is represented with its Yemeksepeti brand. In 2019 in Turkey the brand banabi was established in connection with the rollout of delivery-only stores (dark stores).
In February 2019, the Group acquired the food delivery business of Zomato Media Private Ltd. ("Zomato") in UAE, which has been included in the MENA segment since then.
The Group has a strong presence in South Korea where the Group operates mainly the brand Yogiyo.
Further Asian markets in which Delivery Hero Group was present with its foodpanda brand during the reporting period comprise various high-growth markets such as Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand. The businesses are operating either an own delivery model or mixed models, which provide both own delivery and marketplace services. Further, at the end of 2019 the Group started operations in Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia.
In the Americas segment, Delivery Hero operates in eleven geographical markets, including Canada, where the Group is represented with the foodora brand.
In Latin America, Delivery Hero operates primarily the brands PedidosYa and Clickdelivery. PedidosYa connects customers and restaurants in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraquay and Uruquay. Clickdelivery operates in Columbia, Ecuador and Peru. In Panama Delivery Hero is present with the brand Appetito24.
In 2019 the footprint in the Americas segment was enlarged by acquisition of Movil Media S.R.L., Dominican Republic, ("Delivery RD"), the leading online food delivery business in the Dominican Republic operating under the brand "deliveryrd".
In the Europe segment, Delivery Hero operates with both business models - marketplace as well as own delivery and is represented in Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Montenegro, Norway, Romania, Serbia and Sweden with their local brands.
In April 2019, Delivery Hero strategically invested in the Swedish market by acquiring RestaurangOnline Sverige AB and its subsidiary Hungry Delivery AB (together referred to as "Hungrig Group"). In July 2019, AA Foody Cyprus Ltd. ("Foody"), the leading restaurant marketplace for food delivery in Cyprus, operating under the brand name Foody, was acquired.
As of April 1, 2019, the sale of the German food delivery businesses to Takeaway.com N.V., including all three brands (pizza.de, Lieferheld, and foodora) was completed (refer to Section A.02. and D.03.d) of the consolidated financial statements). The German food delivery business is excluded from the segment performance.
Delivery Hero SE's Management Board consists of two members. The Management Board is responsible for the strategy and management of the Group. The CEO Niklas Östberg is responsible for the areas Strategy, Operations, Technology, Personnel, Marketing, Public Relations and Investor Relations. Emmanuel Thomassin is responsible for the areas Finance, Purchasing, Legal, and Internal Audit, as well as Governance, Risk and Compliance. The Supervisory Board advises and supervises the Management Board. The Supervisory Board is involved in transactions of fundamental importance to the Company.
The Management Board steers the Group both at a segment level (i.e., Europe, MENA, Asia and Americas) and group level. The key financial performance indicators monitored are Total Seqment Revenues' and adjusted EBITDA². While Total Segment Revenue is indicative of the Group´s ability to grow and to provide attractive service offerings to its customers, adjusted EBITDA indicates the Groups ability to become profitable.
Delivery Hero also uses non-financial performance indicators to manage the Group:
| FY 2019 | FY 2018 | CHAINGE IN % |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| GROUP | |||
| ORDERS (MILLION) | 666.0 | 369.4 | 80.3 |
| GMV (EUR MILLION) | 7,435.5 | 4,454.4 | 66.9 |
Our vision of always creating an amazing experience is contingent on constant innovation and technological development in all areas of the customer experience. Consequently, innovation and technology is focusing on the enhancement of the value for the platform users by refining our personalization, recommendation and search algorithms in order to provide more personalized offers, order tracking and visibility, as well as facilitating discovering of new restaurants and dishes and improving the user interface, performance and stability of our apps.
Innovation and technology is further aiming to enhance the value of our restaurant partners by improving the forecast of demand and supply, inventory management and enabling faster and better delivery and offering tailored marketing solutions. Further, we are increasingly investing into the development of new payment solutions (e.g., wallet solutions), machine learning, smart catalogue management and data infrastructure. Innovation and technology is additionally focusing on the further automatization of operations, e.g., enhancing processes in customer care, billing and rider onboarding.
The research and development (R&D) activities of Delivery Hero are focusing on the challenges of providing an exceptional on-demand experience today and in the future. These challenges include the processing of millions of orders in near real time without glitches, responsible collection of a staqgering amount of data and coping with widely different local requirements across our markets.
The R&D activities continue to concentrate on the development and enhancement of local technology and platforms in order to provide highly localized solutions combined with an approach of innovations by a central support function in:
Total Segment Revenue is defined as revenue in accordance with IFRS 15, excluding the effect of vouchers and other discounts. Further, revenues for which the Group acts as a principal are included on a net basis with corresponding cost-of-sales to increase comparability to revenue from transactions where the Group acts as agent.
? Performance measure not defined by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, financial result, depreciation and amortization and non-operating earnings effects. Non-operating earnings effects comprise, in particular (i) expenses for share-based compensation, (ii) expenses for services in connection with corporate transactions and financing rounds, (iii) expenses for reorganization measures, (iv) expenses for the implementation of information technology and (v) other non-operating expenses and income, especially the result from disposal of tangible and intangible assets, the result from the sale and abandonment of subsidiaries, allowances for other receivables, and non-income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation from right-of-use assets under IFRS 16 that were included in the prior period as corresponding rent expenses.
8 Orders represent orders made by end consumers in the period indicated. Orders for our South Korean click-to-call operations (similar to a restaurantspecific business directory where customers click on a button that will connect them directly with the restaurant via telephone) have been estimated based on the number of phone calls made by users to restaurants through these click-to-call platforms in the relevant period that lasted 25 seconds or longer multinlied by 60%.
4 GMV refers to gross merchandise value, which means the total value of orders (including VAT) transmitted to restaurants. GMV for our click-to-call operations (similar to a restaurant-specific business directory where customers click on a button that will connect them directly with the restaurant via telephone) have been estimated based on the estimated number of orders multiplied by the average basket size for the orders placed through our South Korean non-click-to-call online marketplaces during the same period.
In order to provide local solutions but also leveraging from our global platform, we follow a flexible approach with strong and agile regional tech teams in all our segments. The largest team is situated in Berlin.
In 2019, R&D expenses of the Group amounted to about € 65.0 million (previous year: € 42.2 million). This corresponds to 5.1% (previous year: 5.5%) of revenue. Development costs of € 13.0 million were capitalized (previous year: € 5.1 million), this represents 19.9% (previous year: 12.1%) of total development costs of the year. Amortization of capitalized development costs amounted to € 4.1 million (previous year: € 3.1 million). Third-party R&D services are used only to a minor extent.
At the end of the financial year, 1,289 people (previous year: 906 people) were employed in our R&D activities. This represents 5.2% (previous year: 3.6%) of total employees.

Global growth decelerated in 2019, with continued weakness in global trade and investment. However, as of December 31, 2019, global growth was expected to recover to 2.5% in 2020. Moreover, growth was then projected to gradually rise to 2.6 % by 2021, predicated on continued benign global financing conditions and a modest recovery in emerging market and developing economies. Risks are firmly on the downside, aside from the possibility of a further escalation of trade tensions 5, particularly that the outbreak of the coronavirus disease will have effects on global growth. Beginning March 2020, concerns that global
growth assumptions cannot be maintained were raised. At that time it was analyzed that global growth might be significantly impacted by the worldwide outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and might drop by 0.5% to 1.5% compared to initial expectations - depending on the intensity of the coronavirus outbreak. However, accelerated outbreaks throughout Europe and North and South America may have a more severe impact on the global economy. Research analysts project a significant contraction of GDP of the US economy and the eurozone in the first and second quarters of 2020 with a potential to rebound in the third and fourth quarters of the year.6 The global growth prospects for 2020 are contingent on many aspects, including the duration and intensity of the outbreak, the effectiveness of public health measures and supportive macroeconomic measures, and remain highly uncertain.7
Below we examine the environment and outlook by reqion based on the World Bank Global Economic Prospect Report as of December 31, 2019. 8, 9
MENA regional growth is projected to rise to 2.4% in 2020, largely driven by a rebound in growth among oil exporters. Growth among oil exporters is anticipated to pick up to 2.0% in 2020, supported by capital investment in the GCC. Among oil importing economies, increasing growth is predicated on policy reform progress and healthy tourism prospects.
Growth in the East Asia and Pacific region is projected to slow from 5.8% in 2019 to 5.7% in 2020. The year 2019 marked the first time since the 1997–1998 Asian financial crisis that growth in the region dropped below 6%. Outside of China, the region is expected to grow at a moderate

9 Definitions of segment differ from Delivery Hero segments.
4.9% in 2020, broadly flat compared to 5.1% growth in 2019, before rebounding in 2021 as global trade stabilizes. The outlook for South Asia remains solid, with growth pickinq up to 5.5% in 2020 and 5.9% in 2021. Domestic demand growth is expected to remain robust with support from monetary and fiscal policy.
After subdued growth of 0.8% in 2019, reflecting challenging conditions in several of the largest economies, the regional growth is expected to accelerate to 1.8% in 2020, helped by a rebound in fixed investment and private consumption. Argentina is projected to revert to positive growth in 2020 as the effects of financial market pressures fade.
Since Delivery Hero has significant operations in countries outside of the eurozone, a substantial percentage of its sales, earnings and liabilities are denominated in currencies other than the euro. Delivery Hero is therefore exposed to fluctuations in the values of these currencies relative to the euro. In the financial year 2019 Delivery Hero operations in its MENA and Americas segments were adversely impacted by the volatility and devaluation of some currencies, such as the Turkish lira and the Argentinian peso, respectively.
Since Q3 2018, the Americas segment's revenues and growth rates were impacted by the Argentinian operation qualifying as a hyperinflationary economy under IAS 29, starting from the September 1, 2018 (refer to Section B.14.b) of the consolidated financial statements). This assessment has remained applicable in 2019. No other country of operation has qualified as hyperinflationary to date.10

Europe and Central Asia region is expected to grow at 2.6% in 2020, slightly up from 2.0% in 2019, with a tailwind from modest growth in domestic demand offset by a small draq from net exports. In Central Europe, fiscal stimulus and the resulting boost to private consumption will begin to fade in some of the subregion's largest economies next year, while growth is expected to slightly recover in Eastern Europe.
Outside of the aforementioned impact, all segments exhibited positive business developments.
Regarding the foreign exchange rates, within 2019 the euro appreciated versus a basket of currencies with the most appreciation relative to the following three currencies™:
Delivery Hero boasts a wide geographic footprint with operations across a number of attractive markets in Europe, MENA, Asia and Americas regions. In our view the positive outlook for the online food and on-demand delivery services market is predicated on secular growth trends that will drive compounding growth for decades to come:
While Delivery Hero's first phase of disruption was pro- - 02. BUSINESS PERFORMANCE pelled by the transition of orders from over the phone to online, establishing own delivery capabilities allowed Delivery Hero to connect incremental restaurants to our platforms and expand the total addressable market ("TAM") for food delivery by offering a wider selection of restaurants to more customer. By continuously investing in logistics and technology, we are looking for ways to maximize the efficiency of our operations and utilization of our rider network.
The growing consumer demand for on-demand services encouraged us to extend our product offering beyond our core business pillar of food delivery, in order to capture a greater share of consumer wallet. And while food delivery will remain the core of our business model, we see significant upside to cohort quality by investing into additional verticals. As a result, in 2019 we took the strategic decision to accelerate the transition to a third-generation delivery company, which involved the following initiatives:
In 2019 the revenue of the Group increased to € 1,237.6 million (previous year: € 665.1 million). This increase is mainly attributable to strong organic growth across all segments as a result of investments in improved service offering, including the further rollout of own delivery services and targeted investments into customer acquisition. The organic growth is supplemented by the acquisition of the Zomato business in February 2019.
In 2019 orders and GMV grew significantly (+80.3% and +66.9%, respectively) compared to 2018, fully meeting the target of a significant year-on-year increase. Total Segment Revenue amounted to € 1,455.7 million, exceeding the target range of between € 1,080 million and € 1,150 million that was announced in the annual report 2018 and subsequently increased to between € 1,440 million and € 1,480 million.
For 2019 adjusted EBITDA of the segments was negative € 430.9 million and accordingly outside the expected range of between neqative € 270 million and negative € 320 million, which was modified throughout 2019 to the lower end of the range of negative € 370 million and negative € 420 million due to accelerated investments into additional verticals.
11 Calculated from FactSet data on annual end-of-period foreign exchange rates per euro (EUR).
In 2019 the adjusted EBITDA of the MENA segment of € 43.3 million was below the expectation of € 70 million due to higher costs incurred mainly in association with a third-party logistics change at Hungerstation, the integration of Zomato UAE and investments into dark stores and virtual restaurants in MENA.
The Europe segment was expected to break even on an adjusted EBITDA basis during the second half of 2019, which was achieved for the month of December 2019.
Acquisitions during the reporting period comprise the food delivery business of Zomato Media Pvt. Ltd. in the United Arab Emirates ("Zomato UAE") in February 2019 as well as a minority investment in Zomato Holding, India, in the amount of € 43.2 million. Further, Delivery Hero acquired the Hungriq Group in April 2019, Foody in July 2019 and Delivery RD in July 2019, food delivery platforms based in Sweden, Cyprus and Dominican Republic. The total consideration for the acquisitions was € 207.8 million.
In 2019 Delivery Hero participated in a funding round of the Glovo Group and invested a further € 19.1 million, resulting in a total stake of 12.7%. Further minority investments in the total amount of € 5.2 million were carried out in BIO-LUTIONS International AG, Germany, a producer of packaging from agricultural waste, in NOSH services, Cayman Islands, a B2C and B2B virtual cafeteria and food retail company operating in Hong Kong, and in Wisefood GmbH, Germany, a producer of fruit and vegetable-based edible straws.
On December 13, 2019 Delivery Hero SE entered into agreements to acquire approximately 88% of the shares in the South Korean Woowa Brothers Corp. and resolved on a capital increase against a contribution in kind under the exclusion of subscription rights. The closing of the transaction is subject to certain conditions such as financing of the cash consideration and regulatory approvals, including merger control clearance by the Korean Fair Trade Com mission, and is expected to occur in the second half of 2020. The consideration will consist of up to approx. € 1.7 billion in cash and up to approx. € 1.9 billion in Delivery Hero new shares. In the context of financing the cash component of the consideration on January 15, 2020 Delivery Hero placed € 1.75 billion convertible bonds and new shares from a cash capital increase with gross proceeds of about € 571 million (refer to section I. of the consolidated financial statements).
On April 1, 2019, Delivery Hero closed the sale of its German food delivery operations. The businesses comprising Lieferheld, Pizza.de and foodora were sold to Takeaway. com N.V. ("Takeaway.com") in exchange for cash and an equity stake in Takeaway.com.
The total consideration amounted to (i) 5.7 million ordinary shares in Takeaway.com, (ii) 3.8 million warrants convertible into ordinary shares of Takeaway.com at zero cost and (iii) € 508 million of cash, including the cash position of the transferred entities. Measured at market values, at closing date the consideration amounted to € 1.2 billion.
The warrants were exercised and converted into ordinary shares of Takeaway.com in May 2019. The share component post warrant exercise represented 15.5% of the total issued and outstanding share capital of Takeaway.com at the date of closing.
The gain from this divestment contributed € 930.1 million to the net profit for the full year 2019 of € 230.2 million.
Business activities presented as discontinued operations are not subject to the following discussion of net assets, financial position and result of operations (unless otherwise stated).

Delivery expenses (€ 777.0 million, previous year: € 258.3 million) represent 83.9% (previous year: 81.2%) of cost-of-sales in 2019. The continuous expansion of the delivery business, additionally pronounced by the ramp up of dark stores in the second half of 2019, resulted in a disproportional increase of cost-of-sales (191.3%) compared to the increase of revenue year on year. Delivery expenses comprise own delivery personnel expenses (€ 144.8 million, previous year: € 95.7 million) and external riders and other operating delivery expenses (€ 632.1 million, previous year: € 162.6 million). In addition, fees for payment services increased by € 32.0 million due to a higher transaction number as well as an increase in the online payment share.
Gross profit margin in 2019 was 25.1% (previous year: 52.2 %). The decline is mainly attributed to the higher delivery expenses as described above.
Marketing expenses increased by € 181.3 million year on year to € 495.2 million due to higher investments particularly in the Asia segment. They mainly include expenses for customer acquisition of € 239.3 million (previous year: € 148.6 million) and expenses relating to restaurant acquisitions of € 150.4 million (previous year: € 91.7 million). This increase reflects the increased competition in certain markets, the extension of the Group's restaurant portfolio as well as the rollout of supplementary service offerings, e.g., dark stores.
IT expenses increased by € 40.5 million to € 94.8 million. They mainly comprise personnel expenses. Most of our IT expenses is attributable to research and development activities, predominantly for the refinement of our local platforms to enhance the value for our partner restaurants and to further improve the customer experience (2019: about € 65.0 million; previous year: € 36.2 million).
General administrative expenses amount to € 373.5 million in 2019 (previous year: € 217.2 million). They include depreciation expenses of € 27.0 million (previous year: n/a) for right-of-use assets that were recognized upon transition to IFRS 16 as of January 1, 2019. Consequently, lease expenses decreased by € 9.1 million to € 6.6 million in 2019 reflecting short-term and low value leases. Expenses for share-based compensation increased to € 44.8 million (previous year: € 17.2 million) and other personnel-related general administrative expenses increased to € 128.6 million (previous year: € 96.8 million) in 2019. This is primarily driven by an increase in administrative headcounts. Consulting expenses increased to € 48.3 million (previous year: € 22.6 million) mainly due to services related to the prepa ration and execution of M&A transactions.
Other operating income of € 19.9 million (previous year: € 10.0 million) includes primarily gains from a settlement of warranty claims related to the acquisition of the foodpanda group in 2016 of € 9.3 million as well as gains from the recharge of costs to Takeaway of € 7.3 million.
Other operating expenses amount to € 6.7 million in 2019 (previous year: € 9.2 million) and include primarily goodwill and asset impairments of € 1.9 million (previous year: € 4.3 million) and losses from the wind ups and liquidations of subsidiaries in 2019 of € 2.0 million (previous year: € 3.8 million).
The impairment losses on trade receivables and other assets increased to € 8.8 million (2018: € 4.3 million) due to an increase of rider receivables in the context of implementing new payment opportunities for orderers in 2019.
In 2019, the negative adjusted EBITDA of the Segments increased to negative € 430.9 million (previous year: negative € 100.2 million). The raise of the negative adjusted EBITDA margin to 34.8% (previous year: negative 15.1%) is mainly driven by higher cost-of-sales as a result of the continued expansion of own delivery services in many markets, including the rollout of further on-demand items (groceries, flowers, etc.) and an accelerated rollout of dark stores in the second half of 2019.

The Group's balance sheet is structured as follows:
| EUR MILLION | DEC. 31, 2019 | 0% | DEC. 31, 2018 | % | CHANGE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NON-CURRENT ASSETS | 1,723.0 | 64.5 | 1,129.2 | 56.3 | 593.8 |

| TOTAL LIABILITIES AND EQUITY | 2,672.7 | 100.0 | 2,005.0 | 100.0 | 667.7 |

The Group's total assets as of December 31, 2019 increased by 33.3% compared to the previous year.
Non-current assets remain the largest portion of the balance sheet with 64.5% as of December 31, 2019 (previous year: 56.3%). They mainly comprise intangible assets of € 1,046.7 million (previous year: € 878.0 million), thereof goodwill € 766.6 million (previous year: € 570.4 million), trademarks € 161.3 million (previous year: € 187.7 million) and the customer base € 83.9 million (previous year: € 86.2 million). Intangible assets increased by € 168.7 million mainly due to additions in goodwill in connection with the acquisition of Zomato UAE and Hungrig Group in 2019. Investments account for 21.8% (€ 379.1 million) of the non-current assets and mainly relate to shares in Takeaway. com. Right-of-use assets that were recognized in accordance with IFRS 16 contributed € 115.0 million to the higher non-current assets. The increase was partly offset by currency effects in connection with the appreciation of the euro to some currencies like the Turkish lira and Argentinian peso.
The increase in current assets in 2019 is mainly due to an increase of € 335.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. Further the organic growth of the Group in 2019 led to higher trade and other receivables, which increased by 51.9% to € 129.3 million. Contrary, assets included in a disposal group classified as held for sale decreased by € 366.8 million due to the divestment of the German business in April 2019.
STRUCTURE OF STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION (IN % OF LIABILITIES AND EQUITY)

As of the reporting date, non-current liabilities increased significantly by 196.4% compared to the previous year. They were impacted by the recognition of long-term lease liabilities of € 89.7 million, in accordance with IFRS 16. Further, non-current liabilities as of December 31, 2019 include earn-out liabilities and deferred compensation from acquisitions of € 36.4 million primarily from the Zomato UAE acquisition.
The increase of current liabilities resulted mainly from the Group's organic growth during the reporting period leading to higher restaurant liabilities (increase of € 109.0 million) and from the recognition of short-term lease liabilities of € 29.7 million as of December 31, 2019, in accordance with IFRS 16. Contrary, liabilities included in a disposal group classified as held for sale decreased by € 74.8 million due to the divestment of the German business in April 2019.
The Management Board assesses the financial position, financial performance and earnings situation as positive. Beginning in 2019, Delivery Hero implemented a comprehensive investment program that was further extended in the second half of 2019. The program was targeted at strengthening the Group's customer offering through significantly expanding restaurant coverage, enhanced technology and product innovation, as well as an improved service offering through additional verticals. Total Segment Revenue of € 1,455.7 million exceeded expectations in 2019. The positive impact on accelerated order growth and revenue 2019 resulted in adjusted EBITDA of the segments of negative € 430.9 million (2018: negative € 100.2 million), which is slightly higher than the targeted adjusted EBITDA range. However, the additional revenue growths and the enhanced service offering, we believe, outweighs the higher than expected costs.
The average number of employees within our continued operations increased from 16,627 in 2018 to 22,515 in 2019. This change occurred primarily in the areas of delivery, sales, product development and business administration. As of December 31, 2019, Delivery Hero employed 24,617 staff (previous year: 20,608).
In 2019 the Group's equity increased by 15.7% due to the net profit of € 230.2 million. Capital increases from the authorized capital in connection with the exercise of equitysettled stock options raised equity by € 27.5 million. Further services received under equity-settled share-based payment arrangements increased equity by € 32.7 million. Contrary currency translation losses reflected in other comprehensive income reduced equity by € 27.7 million.
The constant monitoring, assessment and weighing of known and emerging risks is a fundamental principle of Delivery Hero and the responsibility of the Group's risk management. The aim of risk management is to develop a strategy and to set objectives that ensure an optimal balance between the growth of business, on the one hand, and the mitigation of associated risks, on the other hand, thereby systematically and sustainably fostering the Group's shareholder value.
A risk is considered as a threat of an event, action or nonaction occurring that could adversely affect Delivery Hero's ability to achieve its business objectives or implement its strategy. When identifying risks, both negative impacts and lost opportunities are considered equally.
The Group's formalized risk management system (RMS) focuses solely on managing risks, whereas the consideration of opportunities is not part of this formalized system. Possible opportunities arisinq in business activities are described in Section C.06. Opportunity report.
Our Enterprise Risk Management ("ERM") is based on the following principles:
The main goal of Delivery Hero's risk strategy is not necessarily to avoid all present and future risks, but to assess risk with reqards to costs and benefits from running the risk as well as to preserve risk transparency. As we conduct an innovative and growing business with relatively high inherent risks that rewards with potential future returns, we are willing to accept risks and even seeking certain risks to achieve our goals within the defined and pursued strategy (risk appetite).
Risk-related materiality thresholds are derived from our risk appetite. Based on the continuing growth focus of the Group, the key metric used as a reference for the definition of the materiality thresholds is revenue.
Delivery Hero distinguishes between two types of materiality thresholds:
Reporting thresholds for the identification and assess-ment of risks: if exceeded, the risks have to be included in the Group's enterprise risk assessment and our regular reporting process. The reporting threshold, considered to have an insignificant financial impact, is defined as follows: Group revenue x 1% x 0.5 (€ 6.2 million).
— Materiality limits/escalation criteria for ad-hoc reporting: if exceeded during the monitoring phase, risks have to be immediately reported to the risk manager, the Management Board or the Supervisory Board, depending on the risk level (low, medium, high). The materiality limit/escalation criteria for ad-hoc reporting, corresponding to a medium financial impact, is defined as follows: Group revenue x 2.5% (> € 30.9 million).
Local entities apply the same formulas with local revenue input for determining risks to be reported to the GRC function.
The key objectives of Delivery Hero's RMS are to manage and streamline the group-wide risk management process, to control all risk management-related activities and to ensure a comprehensive view on all significant risks of the Group. The RMS identifies, assesses, treats, monitors and reports risks.
Delivery Hero's RMS considers the key elements in accordance with Section 315 (2), No. 1a HGB and the internationally recognized COSO framework of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
It consists of the pillars risk identification, risk assessment, risk treatment, risk monitoring and risk reporting. This includes the risk management process and its instruments as well as all underlying principles and quidelines. The RMS is closely aligned with the determination of the Group's
strategy and its business objectives, including safeguarding of the Group's assets and the value chain. The RMS deals with all significant risks, not only with risks that could jeopardize the existence of the Group.
Risks are identified by all employees of Delivery Hero, including our nominated risk owners throughout the different departments of the Group and by the Global Risk Manager or local risk managers on the basis of data analyses, process reviews, interviews and actual events.
After identification, the risk owners, supported by local risk managers, assess their individual risks based on the evaluation criteria described as following. Those criteria are applicable to all subsidiaries of Delivery Hero to ensure that all risks are assessed uniformly in order to ensure comparability.

Risks are identified and listed through data research, interviews, review of processes and follow-up incidents.
ldentified risks are assessed according to their likelihood and impacts, which determines the risk rating.
Assessed risks are treated according to one of the selected risk responses: avoid, reduce/mitigate, transfer or accept.
All identified risks and the related response strategies are closely and regularly monitored. Key Risk Indicators are the main tools used for monitoring.
Monitored risks are periodically reported to management.
Risks are assessed with respect to two dimensions:
The combination of likelihood of occurrence and impact to critical (score of five): results in the risk assessment.
Identified risks in the red area of the matrix require immediate action from management with high priority or need to be monitored closely. Risks in the amber area are categorized as medium risks, which require mid-term action and/or regular monitoring. Risks in the green area are not excluded from actions but have a lower priority.
For assessing the potential impact of a risk, different perspectives are considered. Risks can be evaluated either from a quantitative (financial) perspective and/or from qualitative perspectives such as business objectives, brand image, operations, health, legal and environment.
The impact scale ranges from insignificant (score of one)
The financial impact is usually the primary scale for the impact assessment.

In a first step, we evaluate a risk without considering the effect of the risk treatment strategy and the risk mitigation measures (the gross risk). In the second step, we then define the remaining net risk, taking into account the risk treatment as well as the implementation of any risk mitigation measures.
The chart below presents the differences between gross and net risk.
The treatment of risks encompasses actions or strategies to manage identified and assessed risks. One of the five following options needs to be chosen by the risk owner in alignment with management:
Risk monitoring refers to the continuous follow-up of identified, assessed and treated risks with the respective risk controller and/or local risk and compliance manager with the purpose of evaluating the latest likelihoods and impacts as well as to monitor and re-evaluate the defined actions and the progress of implementation. Continuous risk monitoring is a collective responsibility between the Global Risk Manager, local risk managers, as well as with the respective risk owners. Continued risk monitoring is carried on a regular basis.
We have established the following reporting structure for the key risks identified:

Delivery Hero has implemented a detailed system of internal financial reporting controls. This system aims to identify, evaluate and control all risks that could have a significant impact on the proper preparation of the consolidated financial statements in compliance with the relevant accounting standards and applicable laws. As a key component of the accounting and reporting process, the system of internal financial reporting controls comprises preventive, monitoring and investigative control measures in accounting and operational functions, which ensure a methodical and consistent process for preparing the financial statements. The control system is based on the various Group processes that have a significant impact on financial reporting.
These processes and the relevant risk for the financial reporting are analyzed and documented. A control matrix contains all controls, including a description of the control, type of control and the frequency with which it is carried out. We have implemented standardized monthly reporting and review procedures for subsidiary financial statements. These are subject to a multi-level monthly review process on a regional and Group level to ensure consistency and correctness across the Group.
Our global accounting manual provides detailed accounting instructions for all key components of the financial statements to the Group's finance teams. The identification of risks for the consolidated financial statements further involves the observations of the Group's internal audit function, the results of statutory audits and the risk assessment of the Group accounting function. Based on the assessment of complexity and the involvement of judgment within the application of accounting policies, the accounting for selected complex reporting topics, e.g., business combinations and share-based compensation arranqements, is centrally administered to comply with the Group's reporting requirements. Risks are further mitigated by the cross-functional exchange among central functions, in particular between Legal, Strategy, Group Accounting and Group Controlling. Identified risks are continuously monitored and reassessed. Based on this assessment and in accordance with the requirements of the respective International Financial Reporting Standards, the risks are reflected and disclosed in the Group's consolidated financial statements. The system of internal controls is subject to regular reviews by the GRC department and/or riskbased assessments performed by internal audit.
Independence is the cornerstone of Delivery Hero's internal audit function. Internal Audit provides independent and objective assurance to the Management Board, Audit Committee and Supervisory Board regarding the adequacy and effectiveness of the Group's other governance processes (risk management, compliance management and internal controls). This is accomplished via risk-based audits performed by the Internal Audit Team throughout the Delivery Hero Group and subsequent reporting to the Management Board and the Supervisory Board.
Internal Audit serves to promote responsible corporate governance in accordance with the standards and code of ethics of the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) and Deutsches Institut für Interne Revision (DIIR). It provides the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board with a
report on its activities on a quarterly basis, and the Supervisory Board with a report at least once a year. These reports contain, inter alia, an account of the current status of the various audits conducted under the flexible audit plan, significant findings of completed audits and any outstanding issues relating to implementation of management action plans.
In 2019 the Delivery Hero Group´s risk and opportunity profile did not substantially change compared to the profile as described in the risk and opportunity report of the annual report 2018.
Individual risks are generally assessed for existence for a twelve-month period from the reporting date. The key risks in each risk area are described below. These risks are applicable to all our segments (unless explicit reference to individual segments is made) and based on the gross risk assessment. The actions taken as described below are unless otherwise stated – considered adequate to mitigate the respective risks.
The online food delivery market is continuing to grow very quickly, supported by the Internet penetration and the use of smartphones worldwide.
The industry continues to be highly competitive. In various countries Delivery Hero is subject to pressure from other existing aggregators, own delivery models, large food chains and brands, as well as new well-funded market entrants. Our success depends crucially on our ability to maintain a strong position in our markets.
If we are unable to protect leading market positions, our service may be exposed to pricing pressure and sales may decline. Complementary delivery services and "super-apps" that extend the scope of services and products to be delivered (e.g., groceries) may attract our brands' customers and consequently affect our market position.
Delivery Hero is continuously focusing on increasing its restaurant base and on the enhancement of the customer loyalty by investing in a seamless customer experience. Additionally, we are improving our logistics services by replacing delivery time estimates with custom-built machine learning algorithms based on proprietary data.
In addition, in 2019 Delivery Hero started rolling out complementary service offerings in selected cities to enhance the frequency of orders on its platforms. The risk of increasing competitive pressure is considered high.
Technological changes and disruptive technologies may affect our current business model, if we are not able to keep a technological leadership position. New generations of consumers and restaurants might expect different technological applications and solutions. Delivery Hero's product and technology teams are constantly focusing on innovation in all areas of the consumer experience. In this context technological developments in the online food delivery space and in other Internet-based business models are constantly evaluated. The risk of disruptive technologies is considered high.
As we are operating in emerging and developing markets, we are subject to economic, political and legal risks in these countries. Unexpected requlatory- or capital market requirements as well as changes in applicable laws may
require Delivery Hero to flexibly react to changes to its business processes. Furthermore, financial turbulences, economic and institutional instability in certain markets, an expansive monetary policy of large central banks worldwide and an unresolved debt problem in numerous industrial and developing countries result in considerable risks for our business. Further considering the expansion into new markets and investments in new verticals with differing applicable regulations, overall, the risk of economic, political, legal and financial risks is considered high.
Online food delivery is based on the aggregation of customer demand for food and beverages as well as the offering of a broad selection of menu options by our restaurant partners. Disruptions in the restaurant supply may have an adverse effect on the performance of our business model. The outbreak of the coronavirus in the beginning of 2020 is one of the rare events that resulted in broad restrictions to restaurant operations, including temporary closure of restaurants, as well as curfews in cities and countries. Such restrictions in the first place have a harmful effect on restaurants' ability to continue operations, but in the second place may disruptively affect the success of Delivery Hero's business model in the relevant markets. Potential authoritative measures for pandemic control can be initiated and altered at short notice and might impact our business operations extensively. The impact is contingent on many aspects, including the duration and intensity of the outbreak, the effectiveness of public health measures and supportive macroeconomic measures. Considering our diversification in several markets that are differently exposed to the corona outbreak and corresponding pandemic control measures, we currently assess the risk as medium.
To identify such strategic risks in a timely manner, we promote local entrepreneurship to enable our local management teams to react quickly to individual market changes. In addition, Delivery Hero promotes the strategical and technological collaboration between local and central teams to leverage the global organization. If a reaction to local developments is needed, mitigating actions are established based on the individual facts and circumstances identified.
Delivery Hero operates websites, platforms, payment solutions and other data processing systems, which we use to collect, maintain, transmit and store information about our partner restaurants, customers and suppliers. They all rely on the security of our systems and the fact that their data is handled properly and is not misused. Any breaches may result in material reputational damaqe. Therefore, we maintain and continuously improve our technical and organizational measures and implement our standards worldwide.
However, IT security risks, in particular cybersecurity, remain the biggest inherent risk of our business model. As the nature and characteristics of cyberattacks are constantly evolving, the risk that new security gaps can only be closed with a time lag exists.
Delivery Hero is also subject to several business continuity risks. As an Internet-based company, we are strongly dependent on the functionality, security and stability of our websites and online order platforms. As online food delivery is preferred mainly because of its convenience, even short system downtimes can lead to high financial losses, including reputational damage to our brands. The risk is considered high.
To avoid harm to our systems, we are continuously evaluating, improving and implementing processes with the aim to reflect best practice processes, which include comprehensive internal controls, process improvements and employee IT expertise. Before implementation, proprietary software is subject to a quality assurance process. Methods used to protect against external attacks include the use of external service providers, redundant systems and regular stress and penetration tests. Moreover, an incident management process is in place that enables a systematic search for the causes of any malfunctions. The continuous monitoring and constant efforts of improving our system security is of utmost priority for the Group. Due to the importance of data to our business, we assess the risk of data security issues and system malfunctions as high.
We are continuously increasing the number of deliveries and expanding our logistics business in several regions. This may be combined with a larger volume of cash that is collected and transferred, bearing the risk of theft, inconsistencies in cash reconciliations and administrative effort. To mitigate this risk, several control mechanisms are established that secure the cash-payment procedure. In addition, several projects have been initiated to mitigate the named risks. At the same time, we are strongly promoting online payment options to our business partners and customers. The risk is considered as medium.
Country-specific and economic requirements, including employment legislation and social security, increase the complexity of the rider management as part of the own delivery services. The constant analysis of requlatory developments is needed to find the best approach in advancing the logistics business. Non-compliance with regulatory requirements may lead to higher rider costs and possible non-compliance fines. This also includes the risk of unavailability of rider personnel restraining the further expansion of the logistic services. In order to mitigate the risks, global projects with a focus on rider contracts, rider safety and cash-on-delivery solutions have been initiated with the aim of complying with local regulatory employment requirements. This risk is considered as high.
Government regulations and legal uncertainties may place administrative and financial burdens on our business. As the Internet continues to revolutionize commercial relationships on a global scale, the use of the Internet and mobile devices in everyday life becomes more prevalent and the business of food delivery gets more and more attention from local governments and the media. New laws and requlations relating to the Internet and the e-commerce and food sector in particular may be changed and published. These laws and regulations may affect many aspects of our business, such as the collection, use and protection of data from website visitors and related privacy issues, online payment services, pricing, anti-bribery, tax, commission rates charged to our partner restaurants, content, copyrights, trademarks and the origin, distribution and quality of goods, foods and services. Furthermore, in 2019 the Group launched delivery-only stores ("dark stores") in several cities, which exposes Delivery Hero to additional regulations.
Delivery Hero is, in many countries of its Europe segment, subject to the EU Payment Services Directive II (PSDII), which covers online-based payment services and provides a uniform requlation of payments via the Internet and mobile phones. It increases customer protection and the requirements for user authentication. In particular, the Payment Services Directive II prevents European companies without a banking or payment services license to collect and hold payments resulting from online transactions on behalf of others (e.g., restaurants in Delivery Hero's business model). This forces companies to either outsource the provision of payment services to third parties, to discontinue online payment services or to apply for a banking or payment services license. Monitoring of adherence as well as modification of or non-compliance with such regulations could adversely affect our business by increasing compliance costs, including non-compliance fines and administrative burdens. An assessment and design of relevant processes has been conducted under consideration of external advice. The Group has initiated first steps for license application. The risk from payment service regulations is considered as high.
Privacy-related requlation of the Internet could interfere with our strategy to collect and use personal information as part of our marketing efforts and operations. With the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation 2016/679/ EU of the European Parliament and Council of April 27, 2016, the "General Data Protection Regulation"), which came into force on May 25, 2018, data controllers have more obligations when it comes to handling personal data. Due to different interpretation possibilities of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) with regard to marketing activities as well as the use of new and innovative technologies or processes, the risk exists that regulatory authorities and judicature may represent an interpretation of the legislative language that deviates from our understanding. Due to a lack of quidance that is not conducive to the overall complexity, the question of whether and how the cookie banner settings must be set remains a matter of legal uncertainty. The mitigation of this uncertainty can exist through the complete and thus possibly disproportionate adjustment of the cookie banner setting to the requirement formulated by the European Court of Justice in its decision (case number ECLI:EU:C:2019:801- C-673/17) of October 1, 2019. Alternatively, a potential risk can be reduced to an acceptable level by continuously monitoring the overall situation, regularly assessing the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, evaluating changes of the legal situation and preparing suitable measures for immediate implementation. Regarding GDPR, we review our data processing activities critically, particularly for compliance with the principles of data processing and adjusted security measures as defined by Art. 25 and Art. 32 GDPR. Additionally, the Group has established a data protection management system to ensure compliance with the GDPR requirements. The non-compliance with applicable requlations can result in fines and other sanctions. The risk is considered as high.
Restaurants and grocery retailers in our European segments are subject to numerous food labeling regulations such as the EU Requlation on the provision of food information to consumers. Our online marketplaces in the European Union are subject to those regulations. Compliance with these requlations by our partner restaurants requires the awareness of ingredients, allergens and cross-contamination risks. We are dependent on the accuracy of the relevant information being supplied to our marketplaces by our partner restaurants. In order to support our partner
restaurants, we have worked on several process improvements and training courses for our restaurant care agents. Our dark stores and kitchens are not only subject to food labeling requlations in each country, but also to hygiene and safety requirements. Food safety refers to the proper handling, cooking and preservation of food in order to protect people from foodborne illnesses. To achieve this, we need to adhere to several global and local standards to ensure the delivery of high-quality products, which are safe to consume. Each country has certain requirements in kitchen hygiene and warehouse infrastructure. A project has been initiated to mitigate the risks. Food safety and food compliance risks are inherent to our service offering and therefore rated as high.
Delivery Hero is subject to the antitrust and competition laws in place in the countries in which it operates and carries out transactions. In a number of these countries, antitrust laws and authorities are relatively new and there is therefore a lot of uncertainty as to how these laws are interpreted and enforced by the authorities. In some countries, antitrust law enforcement has become more systematic than in the past, leading to an increased risk of allegations of violations of antitrust laws. In general, antitrust laws, and in particular those relating to vertical agreements and merger notifications, require the self-assessment of behavior, which is never without risk. The self-assessment of such behavior is carried out under consideration of external legal advice, and Delivery Hero is constantly looking to enhance its internal compliance systems and resilience to adapt to changes in the regulatory environment. Non-compliance with antitrust requlations can result in fines and other sanctions. The risk from antitrust regulations is considered as high.
As an internationally operating group we are exposed to various financial risks. The risks comprise liquidity risks, financial market risks and default risks.
The objective of our financial risk management is to limit financial risks arising from business activities and to generally avoid transactions outside the operating business activities that may expose the Group to additional financial risks. Accordingly, such risks are monitored within our risk management system and managed by the Group's treasury function. Financial risk management addresses the risk by selecting appropriate means, including the limitation of external financing in order to minimize interest rate risks, matching when possible foreign currency denominated cash inflows and outflows within the Group to mitigate the foreign currency exposure as well as the performance of aging analyses and the enforcement of a higher share of online payment to reduce the default risk.
Liquidity risk is the potential inability to meet the Group's financial obligations due to the lack of financial resources. Liquidity risks may arise in the form of limited access to financing opportunities as a result of the general market situation or rising refinancing costs, including the risk of the DH Group credit rating being downgraded. The exposure to liquidity risk is closely monitored on group level using weekly liquidity status reports and regular cash forecast reports to ensure adequate distribution of funds and early identification of additional funding needs. An undrawn revolving credit facility of € 125 million further secures the funding of operations of the Group. In addition, cash received in the sale of the German operations and in connection with a multi-year agreement with respect to 3.2 million of its shares in Takeaway.com N.V. positively affected the liquidity of the Group in 2019. The liquidity risk is assessed as medium.
Subject to the closing of the transaction with Woowa that is expected to occur in the second half of 2020 (refer to Section D.02. of the consolidated financial statements) a cash consideration of up to approx. € 1.7 billion will become payable. Delivery Hero intends to finance the cash component of the consideration for the purchased shares in Woowa through a combination of debt and equity/equitylinked instruments. In this context on January 15, 2020, Delivery Hero placed € 1.75 billion in convertible bonds and new shares from a cash capital increase with gross proceeds of about € 571 million (refer to section I. of the consolidated financial statements).
Since our operations are conducted in many different currencies, we are exposed to risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Driven by our geographic footprint and investing activities outside the European Monetary Union, such risks are caused by fluctuations or devaluations of currencies as well as foreign exchange controls or governmental measures that impact our ability to convert currencies and repatriate dividends, if any. Currency exchange risks and movements in foreign exchange rates between the euro and the currencies of the local markets may materially impact the results of our exposed to risks arising from interest rate fluctuation.
operations due to translation effects. The Group's entities are exposed to currency risk in particular with regard to intercompany loan obligations denominated in foreign currencies and intercompany receivables and payables. Adverse translation effects are caused by the translation of financial results of our consolidated subsidiaries prepared in their respective functional currencies into euros, our reporting currency, in the course of preparing the Group's consolidated financial statements. The foreign currency exposure includes, among others, the Turkish lira, the Argentinian peso, the Korean won, the US dollar, the Saudi riyal and the Kuwaiti dinar. The volatility of foreign exchange rates and depreciations of currencies against the euro are especially noted for the Turkish lira and Argentinian peso. Argentina's economy continues to be considered highly inflationary and is reported as a hyperinflationary economy under IAS 29 (refer to Section B.14. of the consolidated financial statements). No other country has qualified as hyperinflationary to date. Foreign currency devaluations are closely monitored and the associated financial risks are reassessed. For material foreign currency positions, financial instruments to mitigate the risk are evaluated by the Treasury department and entered into if assessed to be economically reasonable. Currency risks are considered medium.
The effects on profit or loss that would result if the foreign currencies had appreciated or depreciated by 10% as of the reporting date are presented in Section H.O2. of the consolidated financial statements.
Since the Group currently does not have significant interest-bearing liabilities, the Group is currently not
The default risk is the risk that business partners, primarily restaurants, do not meet their payment obligations, which may result in a loss for the Group. This risk mainly involves current trade receivables from offline payments. Delivery Hero is not exposed to a significant default risk from a single customer. The default risk is generally spread widely over multiple restaurant partners. Besides an active accounts receivable management, the Group mitigates the default risk by aiming for a higher online payment share. Overall, the default risk is classified as low risk considering the high degree of diversification.
The opportunity report deals with the business opportunities for Delivery Hero, which can materialize during the year following the reporting date.
Every person that has access to the Internet is a potential customer. We believe that growth opportunities in our markets will continue to increase by online and mobile customer engagement and last-mile logistics capabilities, as well as shifts in customer behavior due to changes in lifestyle, urbanization and convenience. In our view this trend is particularly driven by a generation of millennials that heavily relies on smartphones for everyday transactions and appreciates overall convenience, and represents the growing on-demand culture. Additionally, technology evolves and fundamentally changes consumption habits.
Also 2019 was driven by order growth. We expect this trend to continue in the upcoming years, as we believe that the need of daily items like groceries will further increase. Especially our new dark stores and kitchen concepts that offer a variety of products are expected to drive a further increase in the frequency of orders and customer loyalty.
As more consumers generate more orders, the marketplace becomes more attractive to restaurants, and being listed in the marketplace becomes an operational necessity at some point.
We envision growth opportunities by focusing on and investing in markets where we are leading players and markets where we see a potential to become market leaders with a reasonable investment level. Delivery Hero operates in more than 40 countries, which provides us with a substantially larger growth opportunity in comparison with our peers, lower operational and financial risks, and a better opportunity in terms of the significant investments in technology.
Investments in logistics services provide opportunities to reduce delivery time and offer a more seamless customer experience. Innovation in delivery, including demand forecasting models, fleet management and route optimization will enable us to cost-optimize our own delivery business further and increase customer loyalty and satisfaction.
As a result of the investments we made in our logistics services, our deliveries have continuously increased. We expect that the near future will see a steady rise in the use of our delivery services by restaurants and new verticals like dark stores worldwide.
Our logistics infrastructure and management enabled us to deliver other on-demand products and expand our market to the non-food sector (e.g., groceries or flowers). We expect that our efforts and investment in logistics will be valuable to respond to the developing customer demands and the delivery of other on-demand products as fast as we did regarding grocery delivery. Finally, alternative delivery options, including automated quided vehicles and drones, may complement the delivery options and increase the coverage of our services.
The hyper personalization of services and recommendation of menu options enhance the end-customer experience. Based on data collection and analysis, we aim to identify users' meal and grocery preferences before they decide themselves. Such an aspect of convenience may provide further growth potential.
Enhancing the customer experience by providing services tailored to individual preferences may further increase the user exposure to our websites. This may enable us to generate complementary revenue from marketing services as well as the cross-listing of other services and products. We believe that the ongoing development of personalized offerings will have a significant impact on customer retention.
The group continues to integrate global solutions into local platforms and aims at standardization. This approach will further simplify our complex IT landscape and reduce maintenance. This will also have a positive effect on IT development expenses. By advancing the automatization of operations, we expect to improve pace and service quality in areas like customer care, billing and rider onboarding in the near term. In addition, we will further invest in technological innovation to constantly improve our on-demand platforms.
Delivery Hero has professionals worldwide, which enables us to grow at speed while maintaining best practices. We are able to dedicate our resources to challenges we may face in any country.
Our people operations department supports the business in core operations, people partnering, talent development, employee engagement, employee experience and talent acquisition. This ensures the ability to retain those talented professionals we work alongside, attract new talent worldwide and further grow our reputation and business.
As of December 31, 2019, global growth was expected to recover to 2.5% in 2020, predicated on continued benign global financing conditions and a modest recovery in emerging markets and developing economies. Europe and Central Asia region was expected to grow at 2.6% in 2020. MENA regional growth was projected to rise to 2.4% in 2020, largely driven by rebound in growth among oil exporters. Growth in South Asia was expected to pick up to 5.5% in 2020. Americas' regional growth was expected to accelerate to 1.8% in 2020.12
Subsequent to December 31, 2019, on March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared the coronavirus outbreak a qlobal pandemic after it had spread to more than a hundred countries with accelerating infections outside of China.13 At the beginning of March 2020, concerns that global growth assumptions cannot be maintained were raised. At that time it was predicted, that global growth might be significantly impacted by the worldwide outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and might drop by 0.5% to 1.5% compared to initial expectations – depending on the intensity of the coronavirus outbreak. However, accelerated outbreaks throughout Europe and North and South America may have a more severe impact on the global economy. Research analysts project a significant contraction of GDP of the US economy and eurozone in the first and second quarters of 2020 with a potential to rebound in the third and fourth quarters of the year.14 While online food delivery is less impacted by COVID-19, and the government measures that come with it, than other sectors, the effect on online food delivery is depending from The global growth prospects for 2020 are contingent on many aspects, including the duration and intensity of the outbreak, the effectiveness of public health measures and supportive macroeconomic measures, and remain highly uncertain.15
The highly fragmental global food service market continues to provide further growth opportunities.16 Delivery Hero's Total Addressable Market (TAM) is expected to continue expanding into a larger food services market opportunity. The expansion is mainly driven by structural trends such as:

studies.
Delivery Hero is well positioned to benefit from these favorable trends and developments due to its global foot-

print, its leading market position in key markets and its broad customer base. Impacts from the coronavirus outbreak need to be closely monitored.
In 2019, on a total segment level Delivery Hero has achieved an order, GMV and revenue growth of 80.3%, 66.9% and 111.9%, respectively. For 2020, the Group expects to achieve Total Segment Revenues above € 2.4 billion and thus significantly higher compared to 2019. The growth is expected to be driven by a significant increase in orders and GMV compared to 2019 as a result of investments into marketing, restaurant coverage, technology and product capabilities, the continuous rollout of new vertical concepts as well as deployed investments into early-stage markets during 2019, which are expected to continue throughout 2020.
The budgeted measures and investments for 2020 are expected to result in a negative adjusted EBITDA of the segments at a level slightly lower compared to the 2019 adjusted EBITDA of € 430.9 million.
Due to the comparatively short history of the Group and the fact that Delivery Hero is operating in a relatively new market, and the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, any forecast on the earnings trend is subject to considerable uncertainty. Besides factors that can be impacted by Delivery Hero, adjusted EBITDA is also contingent on This assessment is also supported by current independent factors that cannot be influenced. For example, if our restaurant partner or customers in our markets are exposed to long-lasting restrictive measures in context with the coronavirus outbreak, or the Group were forced to defend its position against new competitors in specific markets or

market to market. While some markets note an acceleration in order growth throughout COVID-19 driven by an expansion of the customer base and customers preferring to order online in times of social distancing, other markets have temporarily been impacted negatively (i.e., due to government imposed curfews) but have recovered in recent weeks. It is expected that COVID-19 expands the market opportunity and that it is beneficial to online food delivery in the long term, given an increased level of restaurants and customer acquisitions.

Equity increased to € 3,074.3 million as of December 31, 2019 (previous year: € 2,563.3 million) as a result of the positive net result of € 446.5 million driven by the sale of the German business and due to additions to the capital reserve for services received as part of the share-based compensation programs. The equity ratio is 89.5% (previous year: 96.8%) and has slightly decreased compared to the previous year.
Provisions mainly comprise € 44.8 million for the deal-contingent obligation to pay the option premium of the deal-contingent option that was concluded in order to hedge the USD-nominated purchase price liability of the planned Woowa transaction in South Korea), provisions for invoices not yet received (€ 28.6 million; previous year: € 15.1 million), provisions for share-based compensation (€ 10.5 million; previous year: € 0.0 million) and provisions for personnel expenses (€ 3.4 million; previous year: € 2.0 million). Further, a contingent loss provision in the amount of € 41.5 million (previous year: € 0.0 million) was recognized for the valuation of derivatives that were concluded as part of the collar transaction.
The liabilities as of December 31, 2019 of € 222.0 million (previous year: € 62.2 million) mainly include the liability from a loan granted as part of the collar transaction (€ 208.0 million). All loans to other Delivery Hero Group companies that were included in the previous year were repaid in 2019 (previous year: € 54.2 million).
Overall, the management assesses the Company's net assets, financial position and results of operations as positive. Due to the disposal gain from the sale of the German entities, a significantly positive net result was achieved, which substantially strengthened the financial position of the Company.
The net result in 2019 is decisively driven by the disposal gain from the sale of the German entities. As it is assumed that the expansion in the Asian segment and the expansion of vertical services within the Group will result in an increase in costs also at central level, Delivery Hero expects that the annual result for 2020 will be significantly lower than the result of the current reporting period, based on the assumed cost increase and the disposal gain from the sale of the German operations that was recognized in 2019.

The complete version of these authorizations is set out in the Company's Articles of Association in the version of March 19, 2020 (registered in the trade registry on March 20, 2020). The current version of the Articles of Association of the Company is available in the subsection "Articles of Association" on the Company's website at https:// ir.deliveryhero.com/websites/delivery/Enqlish/4400/articles-of-association.html.
Subject to approval by the Supervisory Board, and while upholding the principle of equality (Section 53a, AktG), the Management Board is (or respectively - regarding the authorization to take their own shares as security - was),
authorized, until June 12, 2022, to acquire shares to be held by the Company itself up to a total of 10% of the Company share capital existing at the time of the resolution or - if this value is smaller - of the share capital existing at the time that the authorization is exercised, or – subject to the time limit to June 30, 2017 – to take the same as security. Together with other shares held by the Company itself and which the Company has already acquired or taken as security and still owns, or which are attributed to it in accordance with Section 71a et seq AktG, the shares acquired under the above-mentioned authorization and taken as security must not exceed 10% of the respective share capital in the Company at any time. This authorization may be exercised by the Company once or multiple times, fully or in partial amounts, for a single or multiple purposes, but also by group companies or third parties for the account of the Company or group companies. The authorization must not be exercised for the purpose of trading the Company's own shares.
The following material agreements of the Company exist that are subject to a change of control following a takeover bid:
The Company is party to two substantial software license contracts, which are subject to a change of control clause. One of them contains an automatic termination of a service component and the other one a termination right. Furthermore, the Company is party to two substantial lease contracts, which contain a common consent requirement for the transfer of the lease agreement.
In the event of a change of control, members of the Management Board are entitled to resign from their position within three months of the date of the change of control, subject to a notice period of three months to the end of a calendar month. Resignation from the Management Board becoming effective results in termination of the respective Board member's contract of employment.
In the case of resignation from office following a change of control, Management Board member Mr. Emmanuel Thomassin is entitled to compensation in the amount of 150% of the severance cap, which may not exceed the remaining term of the Service Agreement (CoC-Cap). In the case of resignation from office following a change of control, the incentive instruments held by Management Board members Mr. Niklas Östberg and Mr. Emmanuel Thomassin (such as convertible bonds and share options) become vested or are immediately allocated. In the case of Mr. Thomassin, the CoC-Cap is also applicable in this respect. The employment contracts for each of the Management Board members provide for payments in lieu of vacation in the event of resignation from office following a change of control.
The employment contracts for members of the Management Board do not provide for any other compensation in the event of the termination of the employment due to a change of control. There are no similar compensation agreements with other Company employees.
(This Compensation report pursuant to §§ 289a (2), 315a (2) HGB constitutes part of the Combined management report 2019).
The following compensation report complies with the accounting standards for capital market-oriented companies (German Commercial Code, German accounting standards and International Financial Reporting Standards) along with the recommendations of the German Corporate Governance Code (Deutscher Corporate Governance Kodex) in the version of February 7, 2017 (hereinafter "DCGK"). The basic features of the compensation system for Executive and Supervisory Board members are described, and information is provided with respect to the remuneration granted and paid out to the members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of Delivery Hero SE in 2019.
The Supervisory Board adopts the compensation system for Management Board members as proposed by the Compensation Committee. The compensation system and the appropriateness of the total compensation, along with the individual compensation components, are regularly reviewed and adjusted as necessary. In particular, the provisions of § 87 AktG (Aktiengesetz, German Stock Corporation Act) and the recommendations and suggestions made in Section 4.2.2 and 4.2.3 DCGK have been taken into account. In its review of the appropriateness of the compensation level and system, the Supervisory Board of Delivery Hero SE was assisted by independent external compensation experts.
The remuneration system for the members of the Management Board was resolved by the Supervisory Board in June 2017 and revised effective January 1, 2018. The revised compensation system applies equally to all members of the Management Board. It is in alignment with the Company's corporate strategy and suitable to facilitate a sustainable corporate development. A distinct variable sharebased compensation component is targeted to achieve a close alignment with shareholder interests. The agreed internal performance target corresponds with the Company's growth ambitions. The stock option plan awarded to the Management Board balances risk (total loss) and opportunities (upside without cap), thereby ensuring harmonization with the interest of shareholders.
The Supervisory Board will regularly review and adjust the compensation system to take account of the Company's further development.
The current compensation system for Management Board members consists of two main components: the non-performance-based salary and a long-term performance-based compensation component. Consequentially, the variable compensation is provided for a multi-year period as recommended by DCGK.
The base salary of the Management Board members is paid in twelve monthly installments.
In addition to reimbursement of travel costs and other business-related expenses, the Management Board members receive monthly contributions to their health and nursing care insurance as provided by law.
The Company also grants the Management Board members accident insurance with coverage of € 350,000 in the case of death and € 800,000 in the case of disability. Additionally, the Company assumes the costs of a preventive medical examination every two years.
In addition, Mr. Ostberg has been granted a personal budqet of € 25,000 annually, which, subject to presentation of receipts, covers the costs for commuting between his place of residence and place of work.
Until the IPO, the performance-based compensation consisted of a virtual share program (VSP). The Management Board members received virtual shares from the Company's VSP. In connection with the IPO, all outstanding virtual shares of the Company's VSP were converted into option rights. Consequentially the Stock Option Program 2017 (SOP 2017) was launched. For the conversion into option rights and the grant of new option rights under the SOP 2017, the general meeting-authorized Share Capital IV was used.3
Under the SOP 2017 the beneficiaries receive share option rights that have an individual exercise price that depends on the date on which those rights were granted. The vesting period of the granted options is four years. In part, the qranted stock options can be exercised after the first two years of the vesting period ("cliff"). All other options vest during the remaining two years of the vesting period. The options have to be exercised two years after the end of the four-year vesting period at the latest ("exercise period"). The exercise requires a share price higher than the exercise price at the exercise date. Instead of equity settlement, the Company reserves the right to cash settle the vested options, however the Company aims for equity settlement. In case of cash settlement the beneficiary receives for each option right an amount equal to the difference between the share price at the time of exercise and the exercise price. Only during the exercise periods specified by the Company option rights can be exercised. It was not permitted to exercise options during the first year after the IPO.
Since 2018, the performance-based compensation consists of a new Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP).
Under the LTIP, the performance-based compensation is granted in the form of a stock option plan that is settled in shares. Contractually, a target value of stock options in euro is granted annually. The commitment is binding for four years. To calculate the number of stock options (SOPs) granted in a financial year, the annual target value in euro is divided by the fair value of an SOP at the grant date. The calculated number of SOPs granted is blocked for a period for four years from the date on which they are granted. Subsequently, an exercise period of two years is provided. The members of the Management Board do not receive any shares in the form of "Restricted Stock Units" (RSU), as is customary in the general LTIP.
year before the grant date and runs for three more years.
The exercisability of the SOP after the blocking period depends on the achievement of a revenue growth target. The performance target is derived from the Company's corporate strategy. It is defined as a compound annual revenue growth rate (CAGR) of at least 20% over the performance period, i.e., an average revenue growth of 20% annually. Should this target not be reached, all SOPs expire without substitute or compensation.
There are two exercise windows each year within the twoyear exercise period. The exercise price is the equivalent of Delivery Hero's average share price during the three months before the grant date. The share price at which the
The performance period of four years in total begins one option rights may be exercised is not capped in order to support a strong alignment with the interests of the shareholders. Because of equity settlement, the absence of a cap on the share price imposes no additional risks or costs on the Company. Hence no maximum value is provided for the SOP. In the event of extraordinary events, however, the Supervisory Board can, as called for in § 87 (1) sentence 3 AktG, set a limit to ensure the appropriateness of the compensation.
In the current and previous year no special compensation was granted. In 2018 the second tranche of Mr. Thomassin's special bonus granted in 2017 for his extraordinary efforts in connection with the IPO process became payable.

No pension arrangement with Management Board members exist.
In the event that a Management Board member dies before the term of his service contract ends, the spouse of the deceased is entitled to a grant of the unreduced remuneration for the month of death and the six following months, but for no longer than the end of the original term of the service contract.
If the service relationship ends early due to dismissal or resignation from office, or as a result of a termination agreement, then the Management Board members are entitled to severance pay. This does not apply in the event that, in accordance with § 626 BGB, the Company terminates the employment agreement for good cause for which the Management Board member is responsible, respectively, in the event that the Management Board member terminates the employment agreement without good cause (§ 626 BGB) for which the Company is responsible. The severance pay may not exceed the value of two years' total compensation and may equate at a maximum to the compensation for the remaining term of contract (severance pay cap). The severance provision thus complies with the recommendation of DCGK.
In the event of a change of control, the Management Board member has the right to resign from his office with three months' notice. His employment agreement will also end at that time. A change of control is present if:
In the event of a resignation from office or dismissal due to the change of control, Mr. Thomassin is entitled to a remuneration in the amount of 150% of the severance cap, which may not under any circumstances remunerate more than the remaining term of the employment agreement. This provision is likewise in compliance with the relevant recommendation of DCGK.
The Management Board members' contracts provide a post-contractual non-competition clause for two years. During the non-compete period the Management Board member is entitled to a waiting allowance equal to 50% of the remuneration lastly received. Other remuneration earned during the term of the non-compete period is offset with the waiting allowance to the extent that the total of the waiting allowance and the other remuneration would exceed the remuneration lastly received according to the contract.
The Management Board members have not received advances or loans in 2019.
The following tables follow the recommendations of DCGK and present the individualized Management Board members' compensation. The table "Granted benefits" presents the target values (the value of the compensation at 100% target achievement) of the compensation components that were granted in financial year 2019, not the compensation that was actually paid. The value of the performance-based, share-based compensation components reflects the grant date fair values. Besides the target values, minimum and maximum compensation amounts to the extent applicable are also shown. The table "Payout" shows the compensation actually paid in financial year 2019. The values "Base salary" and "Fringe benefits" correspond to the values in the "Granted benefits" table, as they are paid irrespective of whether the performance targets are achieved.

Delivery Hero SE, based in Berlin, met the definition of a large corporation set out in Section 267(3) and (4) of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch, HGB) as at the end of the reporting period on December 31, 2019. The Company is entered on the register of companies maintained by the Local Court of Charlottenburg under the number 198015 B with the business address Oranienburger Straße 70, 10117 Berlin, Germany.
The wholly owned subsidiaries RGP Local Holding IV GmbH and Luxembourg Investment Company 43 S.à.r.l. were fully absorbed into Delivery Hero SE through merger agreements dated June 27, 2019. The assets of RGP Local Holding IV GmbH were acquired with effect from January 1, 2019. The assets of Luxembourg Investment Company 43 S.à.r.l. were acquired with effect from May 1, 2019.
As the receiving legal entity, Delivery Hero SE carried forward the book values of the acquired legal entities. The mergers were recorded under the absorbing company on the Berlin-Charlottenburg register of companies on August 27, 2019. The figures reported on the statement of financial position for December 31, 2019 can only be compared with those for December 31, 2018 to a limited extent due to these mergers; same applies to the income statement. Comparability with the previous year is ensured by explanatory notes and a supplementary column in the schedule of fixed assets.
The Delivery Hero SE financial reports have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch, HGB) as well as those of the German Companies Act (Aktiengesetz, AktG).
The fiscal year corresponds with the calendar year.
Delivery Hero SE closed fiscal year 2019 with an annual profit of € 446.5 million (previous year: annual loss of € 7.0 million). The Management Board is working on the basis that Delivery Hero SE will remain equipped with sufficient liquidity and capital to continue trading. Accordingly, these statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will remain a going concern.
The Management and Supervisory Boards of Delivery Hero SE submitted the declaration of compliance with the recommendations of the "German Corporate Governance Code 2017" Commission as specified in AktG § 161 on December 11, 2019. This statement is permanently available to view at
https://ir.deliveryhero.com/websites/delivery/English/4500/declaration-of-compliance.html
The income statement has been classified by the nature of costs in accordance with HGB & 275(2).
In the interests of improved clarity and conciseness, some of the remarks that statutory provisions make optional for the statement of financial position have been published in these notes.
The following accounting policies were the main ones applied for the preparation of the annual financial reports:
Intangible fixed assets acquired for cash are recognized at their acquisition cost and, where subject to exhaustion or obsolescence, are systematically amortized using the linear method in line with their normal useful life. IT programs acquired for cash are amortized over a normal useful life of two to three years. An exception is made for IT programs with an acquisition cost under € 800 (previous year: € 250), which are immediately expensed at their full amount. Licenses are amortized over the useful life specified in the relevant license agreement. The option to capitalize internally generated intangible assets is utilized in accordance with HGB § 248(2). Internally generated intangible assets, including own work capitalized, are recognized at production cost and systematically amortized using the linear method over one to three years. Individual costs as well as prorated, directly attributable overheads are considered for this in accordance with HGB § 255(2). Options to incorporate general administration costs and reasonable expenses for the Company's social benefits, voluntary social payments, and retirement benefits were not utilized
Tangible fixed assets are measured at their acquisition or production cost less scheduled, linear depreciation. Tangible fixed-asset additions are normally depreciated pro rata temporis. This depreciation uses depreciation rates that are determined based on predicted useful life and do not vary significantly from the depreciation schedules provided by tax laws.
The accounting provision of Section 6(2) of the German Income Tax Act (Einkommensteuergesetz, EStG) is applied when recognizing low-value assets. Acquisition or production costs for movable fixed assets that are subject to wear and can be used independently are charged in full as an expense during the fiscal year in which they are acquired, produced, or contributed if the acquisition or production costs do not exceed € 800 (previous year: € 800) for the individual asset after deducting the input-tax amount included in the costs.
The investments section measures investments in affiliated companies, investments, other investments which contain non-securitised shares in companies that do not constitute an investment in accordance with § 271 (1) HGB as well as securities held as fixed assets at acquisition cost or their fair value. Borrowings are recognized at their nominal or fair value.
The Company uses the discounted-cash-flow method to calculate the fair value of investments in affiliates as part of an impairment test. If there is no exchange or market price, the discounted-cash-flow method is also used analogously for borrowings depending on the remaining term.
Fixed assets that lose value permanently are subjected to impairment write-downs. Corresponding write-ups are carried out if the grounds for the write-downs cease to apply.
Inventory includes advance payments, which are recognized at their nominal or fair value. Unfinished goods, finished goods and merchandise are recognized at acquisition cost in compliance with the lower of cost or market principle
Receivables and other assets are recognized at their nominal or fair value as at the end of the reporting period. Reasonable write-downs are made if the collection of receivables is laden with identifiable risks, and uncollectible receivables are fully written off. Receivables in foreign currencies are valued in accordance with the strict lower of cost or market principle. When they are first recognized they are converted using the mean rate on the day they. Receivables with a remaining term of less than one year are measured using the mean spot exchange rate as at the end of the reporting period. Long-term receivables are recognized at a lower value if the exchange rate is lower at the end of the reporting period, while any gains from a higher exchange rate remain unrecognized.
Cash and cash equivalents are recognized at their nominal value as at the end of the reporting period.
Recognized prepaid expenses refer to payments prior to the reporting period if the expense is for a given time period following the end of the reporting period. They are recorded at their nominal value as at the end of the reporting period.
The subscribed capital is reported at nominal value.
Delivery Hero SE has existing stock-appreciation plans. The stock plans give employees rights that generally entitle the beneficiary to acquire shares in the Company (share-based compensation settled in equity instruments) on completion of a specified period of work for the Company. With some plans, the Company is required to settle the rights in cash at certain exit events (e.g. change of control). In addition, the Company has an option to settle by issuing new shares or in cash. The occurrence of exit events is seen as unlikely at the present time. There are no plans to utilize the option for settling in cash for the stock-appreciation plans, with the exception of the Virtual Share Program 2017, which was converted to cash settlement in 2019. The remaining stock plans are classified as share-based compensation settled in equity instruments. These commitments are reported in accordance with international IFRS 2 rules since the German Commercial Code does not provide explicit regulation for such share-based compensation. The entitlements from the commitments are recognized under personnel expenses with an offsetting entry in the capital reserve under equity. The obligation arising from the cash-settled share-based compensation plan is included in other provisions. The total entitlements are measured by pricing the options using the Black-Scholes model.
Provisions are recognized at the settlement amount seen necessary based on reasonable commercial judgment. All recognizable risks, uncertain liabilities and impending losses from pending transactions are taken into account.
Provisions with a remaining term of more than one year are discounted based on a market interest rate that averages the last seven fiscal years and corresponds to the remaining term.
Provisions were formed for future expenses incurred through fulfillment of statutory obligations for business-document archival; these provisions were of the relevant settlement amount, i.e. incorporating costs foreseen for the of fulfillment. Provisions were calculated for archival costs on the assumption of an average remaining retention period of 5.5 years and predicted price/cost increases of 1.2% p.a. (previous year: 1.7%).
Payables are recognized at their settlement amount. Payables in foreign currencies are converted using the mean daily rate at the time of recognition. Current foreign-currency payables with a remaining term of one year or less are measured using the mean spot exchange rate. Noncurrent foreign-currency payables are recognized and charged at a greater amount if the rate is higher at the end of the reporting period. Any lower rate (producing a valuation gain) remains unrecognized.
If there are differences between the methods under commercial law for measuring assets, debts, accruals, and deferrals and those under tax law, and the resulting differing amounts will foreseeably break down in later fiscal years, any net tax burden incurred is recognized under deferred tax liabilities in the statement of financial position. Any net tax relief incurred through these differences is not recognized, in accordance with the option under HGB § 274(1), second sentence, which we utilize.
Derivative financial instruments were concluded in 2019 to hedge foreign currency risks and fair value risks. No valuation units in accordance with § 254 HGB were formed.
Developments among fixed assets are described along with the fiscal year's amortization and depreciation in the schedule of assets in Appendix I of these notes.
The investments in affiliates, and interests in other entities recognized in the investments section are composed as illustrated in Appendix II to these notes.
Other investments include non-securitised shares in companies that do not constitute an investment in accordance with § 271 (1) HGB.

On April 4, 2019 the company entered into a multi-year collar agreement in relation to 3.2 million shares in Takeaway.com with the objective of hedging a price decline. The collar agreement partially allows Delivery Hero to continuously participate in any further increase in the share price Takeaway.com. In the course of the collar transaction, the underlying shares were transferred in trust and sold by Morgan Stanley on April 4, 2019 via an accelerated bookbuilding process.
Delivery Hero received the proceeds from the collar transaction as a loan. The underlying shares in Takeaway.com of the collar transaction are included in the statement of financial position of Delivery Hero as the beneficial ownership is attributable to Delivery Hero.

The trade receivables from third parties, amounting to € 4.7 million (previous year: € 0.9 million), mainly result from passing on marketing costs to the German entities that were sold to Takeaway.com.
Receivables from affiliates were, like last year, mainly the result of trade and services rendered. Due to a predicted ongoing loss of value impairment was recognized for receivables from affiliates at € 0.1 million (previous year: € 11.0 million).
The other assets mainly include € 41.8 million (previous year: € 0.0 million) for a deal contingent USD/EUR option that was concluded on December 13, 2019 in the course of entering into agreements to acquire approx. 88% of the shares in Woowa Brothers Corp., South-Korea. Further, security-payments made upon signing of a secondary transaction to acquire additional shares in Glovo of € 8.0 million (previous year: € 0.0 million) and security deposits where the remaining term was less than one year of € 0.3 million (previous year: € 0.3 million) are included. The escrow payment of € 26.7 million from the sale of a participation that was included in other assets previous year was settled in 2019.
The figure for the prepaid-expense item is mainly the result of insurance premiums remitted for years up until 2022 as well as usage fees for software licenses prepaid during the fiscal year.
All other receivables and other assets mature, like last year, within one year.

Together with other shares held by the Company itself and which the Company has already acquired or taken as security and still owns, or which are attributed to it in accordance with Section 71a et seq. AktG, the shares acquired under the above-mentioned authorization and taken as security must not exceed 10% of the respective share capital in the Company at any time. This authorization may be exercised by the Company once or multiple times, fully or in partial amounts, for a single or multiple purposes, but also by group companies or third parties for the account of the Company or group companies.

The Company is party to two substantial software license contracts, which are subject to a change of control clause. One of them contains an automatic termination of a service component and the other one a termination right. Furthermore, the Company is party to two substantial lease contracts, which contain a common consent requirement for the transfer of the lease agreement.
In the event of a change of control, members of the Management Board are entitled to resign from their position within three months of the change of control, subject to a notice period of three months to the end of a calendar month. Resignation from the Management Board becoming effective results in termination of the respective Board member's contract of employment.
In the case of resignation from office following a change of control, Management Board member Mr Emmanuel Thomassin is entitled to compensation in the amount of 150% of the severance cap, which may not exceed the remaining term of the Service Agreement (CoC-Cap). In the case of resignation from office following a change of control, the incentive instruments held by Management Board members Mr Niklas Ostberg and Mr Emmanuel Thomassin (such as convertible bonds and share options) become vested or are immediately allocated. In the case of Mr Thomassin, the CoC-Cap is also applicable in this respect. The employment contracts for each of the Management Board members provide for payments in lieu of vacation in the event of resignation from office following a change of control.
The employment contracts for members of the Management Board do not provide for any other compensation in the event of the termination of the employment due to a change of control. There are no similar compensation agreements with other Company employees.
The capital reserve increased by € 61.6 million to € 2,785.1 million in 2019. The increase resulted from the issue of further shares as part of the stock-option plan.

In 2018, Delivery Hero SE issued a long-term incentive plan (LTIP) comprising two types of award: a restricted-stock plan (RSP) and stock-option program (SOP). Eligibility was extended to the Management Board, executives of certain subsidiaries, other executives, and certain employees. Delivery Hero has undertaken to award restricted-stock units (RSUs) and stock options over a period of four years based on a specific € amount per year. The amounts awarded in each round (four in total) are set out in an award agreement received by participants in the first year.
A number of RSUs and stock options to which every participant is entitled are defined on a recurring annual basis by dividing the corresponding award amount by the market value of an RSU equivalent to the thirty-day average of the DH share price prior to the relevant time or by the market value of a stock option, with the price to exercise any option being calculated based on the three-month average of the price for each share prior to the corresponding award time stipulated in the agreement.
All entitlements are awarded quarterly over a year following the agreed award date. The first award is normally subject to a twenty-four-month blackout period. Bad leavers lose all earned and unearned entitlements. Good leavers retain all earned RSUs and stock options. The SOP includes a performance target based on sales.
Awards come in the form of shares. Although Delivery Hero has the option to settle the shares' fair value as at the settlement date in cash, DH does not intend to make use of this option.
A total of € 46.3 million (previous year: € 10.9 million) in entitlements to stock-based compensation was recorded in the capital reserve for the LTIP as at December 31, 2019. There were 2,011,422 (previous year: 941,083) nonexercised options that had been issued as at December 31, 2019; 332,502 (previous year: 154,734) nonexercised options were awarded to the Management Board and 1,133,905 (previous year: 786,349) non-exercised options were awarded to employees. There were 592,287 (previous year: 149,046) restricted stock units (RSUs) that had been issued as of December 31, 2019.
Beneficiaries of the Delivery Hero SE SOP received options that, given certain conditions, entitle the holder to subscribe for Delivery Hero SE stocks. The vesting period lasts forty-eight months and is subject to individual blackout periods of twenty-four months. If a beneficiary leaves the Company before fulfilling the requirements for exercising the options, his or her rights under this program are forfeited.
The Group plans to settle in equity instruments and classifies the program as a share-based compensation plan settled in equity instruments. The plan's conditions provide for cash settlement by the Group if there transpire certain exit events (e.g. if controlling interests change). However, the occurrence of such an event is currently viewed as unlikely.
A total of € 114.9 million (previous year: € 114.9 million) in entitlements to share-based compensation was recorded in the capital reserve for the SOP as at December 31, 2019. There were 3,164,871 (previous year: 6,780,772) nonexercised options that had been issued as at December 31, 2019; 1,196,600 nonexercised options (previous year: 1,236,600) pertain to the Management Board and 1,968,271 nonexercised options year: 5,544,172) pertain to other employees.
The net profit of € 100.4 million is the difference of an annual profit of € 446.5 million and a loss of € 346.0 million carried forward.

Other provisions mainly included provisions for obligations to staff, outstanding invoices, expenses for legal services, advice, and annual accounting; and anticipated losses as at December 31, 2019.
As part of the collar transaction with respect to 3.2 million shares in Takeaway.com, combinations of short call and long put options were concluded that expire in tranches between October 2021 and September 2022. The option pairs were measured based on a Black-Scholes model. As per December 31, 2019 valuation of collar options resulted in impending losses of € 41.5 million that were provided for accordingly.
Further, other provisions include € 44.8 million relating to the deal contingent USD/EUR option premium payable upon closing of the planned Woowa transaction.
The obligations to staff are the result of entitlements to share-based compensation.

Delivery Hero SE, Berlin, as the parent company, has prepared a consolidated financial statement as at December 31, 2019 for the fiscal year from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019 for both the narrowest and widest scope of company consolidation. The consolidated financial statement is published on the Federal Gazette website.
KPMG rendered audit services for the audit of the consolidated financial statement and statutory financial statements of Delivery Hero SE. Integrated with the audit procedures reviews of interim financial statements were performed. Tax advice was provided that included consulting services in connection with an audit by the German fiscal authorities and advisory services in connection with social security legislation. In addition, other services were rendered in the form of advisory services in connection with the enforcement examination carried out by the Financial Reporting Enforcement Panel (FREP).
Please refer to item H.07 in the consolidated notes for fees paid to auditors during the fiscal year.
The Management Board proposes to carry forward the net profit of € 100.4 million produced by the annual profit of € 446.5 million and loss carryforward of € 346.0 million.
On January 15, 2020, Delivery Hero SE placed two tranches ("Tranche A" and "Tranche B") of senior, un-secured convertible bonds maturing in January 2024 (Tranche A) and January 2027 (Tranche B) in a principal amount of € 875 million (Tranche A) and € 875 million (Tranche B), divided into 17,500 bonds in a nominal amount of € 100,000 each (the "Convertible Bonds"). The Convertible Bonds are initially convertible into approximately 17.9 million new or existing ordinary no-par value registered shares of Delivery Hero.
The Convertible Bonds will be issued at 100% of their nominal value and with a semi-annually payable coupon of 0.25% p.a. (Tranche A) and 1.00% p.a. (Tranche B). The initial conversion price amounts to € 98.00 (Tranche A) and € 98.00 (Tranche B), representing a conversion premium of 40.00% (Tranche A) and 40.00% (Tranche B) above the reference price of € 70.00 (placement price of the concurrent share offering). The Convertible Bonds have been placed solely to institutional investors in certain jurisdictions via a private placement. Shareholders' subscription rights were excluded. The Convertible Bonds are trading on the non-regulated open market segment (Freiverkehr) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
Delivery Hero is entitled to redeem the Convertible Bonds at any time (i) on or after February 13, 2023 (Tranche A) and February 13, 2025 (Tranche B), if the stock exchange price per Delivery Hero share amounts to at least 130% (Tranche A) or 150% (Tranche B) of the then relevant conversion price over a certain period or (ii) if 15% or less of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant tranche of the Convertible Bonds remain outstanding.
Further, Delivery Hero increased its current share capital by approximately 4.3%, from € 188,775,039 to € 196,933,589, through the exercise of its authorized capital. Shareholders' subscription rights were excluded. The 8,158,550 new no-par value ordinary registered shares have been placed with institu-tional investors at a placement price of € 70.00 per new share by way of an accelerated bookbuilding. The new shares carry full dividend rights as of January 1, 2019.
The Company received gross proceeds amounting to € 1.75 billion from the Convertible Bonds and € 571 million from the Capital Increase. The proceeds are intended to be used to finance a portion of the cash component of the consideration for the purchased shares in Woowa Brothers Corp., and for general corporate purposes.
On February 12, 2020 the Company has decided to enter into a forward share purchase and multi-year equity collar agreement to restore its exposure in Just Eat Takeaway.com N.V. ("Just Eat Takeaway.com") to approximately 10.6% following the dilution that had been caused by the merger between Takeaway.com and Just Eat plc.
Delivery Hero will purchase 8.4 million additional Just Eat Takeaway.com shares by entering into a forward purchase agreement with a financial institution, which will be entirely financed by a multi-year equity collar transaction over approximately 8.8 million Just Eat Takeaway.com shares that also in-cludes approximately 0.4 million shares that Delivery Hero had received in connection with the sale of its German food delivery businesses to Takeaway.com on April 1, 2019. As such, no negative impact on Delivery Hero's cash balance is expected from the transaction.
The objective of the transaction is to provide downside protection on, and some limited upside expo-sure to, the value of the underlying Just Eat Takeaway.com shares.
Subsequent to December 31, 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared on March 11, 2020 the coronavirus outbreak officially a global pandemic after having spread to more than hundred countries with accelerating infections outside of China. The outbreak may have a severe impact on global economy. Measures to control the outbreak of the virus may result among others in broad restrictions to restaurant operations, including temporary closure of restaurants, as well as curfew in cities and countries. Although Delivery Hero SE as holding company is less directly affected, the implications of the pandemic are also affecting global financial markets as investors disinvest from company stocks and other financial assets in favor of cash assets, which might adversely affect the measurement of our financial engagements into listed and non-listed investments. The global impact as well as the impact on our business operations in 2020 are contingent on many aspects, including duration and intensity of the outbreak, effectiveness of public health measures, supportive macroeconomic measures. The financial effect from the global coronavirus outbreak on the entity's financial positions, result and cash flows cannot be estimated as of this date.

Based on the results of our audit, we have issued the following unqualified audit opinion:

To Delivery Hero SE, Berlin
We have audited the annual financial statements of Delivery Hero SE, Berlin, which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, and the income statement for the financial year from January 1 to December 31, 2019, and notes to the financial statements, including the recognition and measurement policies presented therein. In addition, we have audited the combined management report of Delivery Hero SE, Berlin, for the financial year from January 1 to December 31, 2019. In accordance with German legal requirements, we have not audited the content of the components of the combined management report mentioned in the section "Other information" of our audit opinion.
In our opinion, on the basis of the knowledge obtained in the audit,
annual financial statements, complies with German legal requirements and appropriately presents the opportunities and risks of future development.
Our opinion on the combined management report do not cover the section "Other infor-mation".
Pursuant to Section 322 (3) sentence 1 HGB [Handelsgesetzbuch: German Commercial Code], we declare that our audit has not led to any reservations relating to the legal compliance of the annual financial statements and of the combined management report.
We conducted our audit of the annual financial statements and of the combined management report in accordance with Section 317 HGB and EU Audit Regulation No. 537/2014 (referred to subsequently as "EU Audit Regulation") and in compliance with German Generally Accepted Standards for Financial Statement Audits promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer [Institute of Public Auditors in Germany] (IDW). Our responsibilities under those requirements and principles are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Annual Financial Statements and of the Combined Management Report" section of our auditor's report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the requirements of European law and German commercial and professional law, and we have fulfilled our other German professional responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. In addition, in accordance with Article 10 (2)(f) of the EU Audit Regulation, we declare that we have not provided non-audit services prohibited under Article 5 (1) of the EU Audit Regulation. We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions on the annual financial statements and on the combined management report.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the annual financial statements for the financial year from January 1 to December 31, 2019. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the annual financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
For information on the accounting policies applied, please see item II.2 in the notes to the financial statements.
In the annual financial statements of Delivery Hero SE as of December 31, 2019, financial assets included shares in affiliated companies of EUR 1,479 million and loans to affiliated companies of EUR 767 million. This amounts to 65 % of total assets and thus has a material influence on the Company's assets and liabilities.
Shares in and loans to affiliated companies are recognized at cost or nominal value or, if they are expected to be permanently impaired, at their lower fair value. The Company calculates the fair value of the shares in affiliated companies using the discounted cash flow method. The discounted cash flow method is also used for loans in accordance with the remaining term. If the fair value is lower than the carrying amount, qualitative and quantitative criteria are used to determine whether the impairment is considered to be permanent.
There is a risk for the financial statements that shares in and loans to affiliated companies are impaired.
Calculation of the fair value according to the discounted cash flow method is complex and, as regards the assumptions made, based largely on estimates and assessments of the Company. This applies particularly to estimates of future cash flows and long-term growth rates used for valuation, determination of the capitalization rate and, where applicable, the assessment of whether impairment is permanent.
Based on the results of the impairment testing, the Company recognized impairment losses of EUR 147.7 million on shares in and loans to affiliated companies in financial year 2019.
For the purposes of impairment testing of shares in and loans to affiliated companies, we calculated our own estimates for the Company's individual investments with the involvement of our valuation experts and based on general as well as sector-specific market expectations and compared these estimates with the Company's measurements.
In the event of significant deviations between our estimates and the Company's measurements, we assessed the appropriateness of the Company's key assumptions. For this purpose, we discussed with those responsible for planning the expected business and earnings development and the assumed long-term growth rates as well as the modeling of the estimated sustainable surplus cash flow. We also reconciled this information with the budget prepared by the Management Board at the group level and approved by the Supervisory Board. We also assessed the calculation method used by the Company.
We evaluated the accuracy of the previous forecasts by comparing the budgets of previous financial years with actual results and by analyzing deviations.
We compared the assumptions and parameters underlying the discount rate, in particular the risk-free rate, the market risk premium and the beta factor, with our own assumptions and publicly available data.
To ensure the computational accuracy of the valuation model used, we verified the Company's calculations on the basis of selected risk-based elements.
The approach used for impairment testing of shares in and loans to affiliated companies is appropriate and in line with the accounting policies. The Company's assumptions and parameters are reasonable overall.
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises:
Our opinion on the annual financial statements and on the combined management report do not cover the other information, and consequently we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in so doing, to consider whether the other information
Responsibilities of Management and the Supervisory Board for the Annual Financial Statements and the Combined Management Report
Management is responsible for the preparation of annual financial statements that comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of German commercial law applicable to business corporations, and that the annual financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and financial performance of the Company in compliance with German legally required accounting principles. In addition, management is responsible for such internal control as they, in accordance with German legally required accounting principles, have determined necessary to enable the preparation of annual financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the annual financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. They also have the responsibility for disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern. In addition, they are responsible for financial reporting based on the going concern basis of accounting, provided no actual or legal circumstances conflict therewith.
Furthermore, management is responsible for the preparation of the combined management report that as a whole provides an appropriate view of the Company's position and is, in all material respects, consistent with the annual financial statements, complies with German legal requirements, and appropriately presents the opportunities and risks of future development. In addition, management is responsible for such arrangements and measures (systems) as they have considered necessary to enable the preparation of a combined management report that is in accordance with the applicable German legal requirements, and to be able to provide sufficient appropriate evidence for the assertions in the combined management report.
The Supervisory Board is responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process for the preparation of the annual financial statements and of the combined management report.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and whether the combined management report as a whole provides an appropriate view of the Company's position and, in all material respects, is consistent with the annual financial statements and the knowledge obtained in the audit, complies with the German legal requirements and appropriately presents the opportunities and risks of future development, as well as to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion on the annual financial statements and on the combined management report.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Section 317 HGB and the EU Audit Regulation and in compliance with German Generally Accepted Standards for Financial Statement Audits promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW) will always detect a material misstatement. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these annual financial statements and this combined management report.
We exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with the relevant independence requirements, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, the related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the annual financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.
