A. GROUP PROFILE

The statements made in the annual report 2018 on the business model, the corporate strategy, the group structure, the segments, the management system as well as research and development ("R&D") still apply in the first six months 2019.

B. ECONOMIC REPORT

01. GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

a) Macroeconomic Outlook

After strong growth in 2017 and 2018 global economic activity is expected to stall slightly in 2019. The IMF projects global growth for 2019 and 2020 to reach 3.3% and 3.6% respectively1 . Among other reasons the IMF noted that trade tensions increasingly took a toll on the global economy. However, the IMF also stated that improvements are expected in the second half of 2019 and that global economic growth is expected to return to 3.6% in 2020. This return is predicted based upon a rebound in Argentina and Turkey and some improvement in a set of other stressed emerging market and developing economies.

While the business is not entirely immune to economic changes, generally speaking the takeaway industry fares reasonably well during challenging economic conditions as consumers trade down from more expensive meals.

Since the Delivery Hero group ("Delivery Hero" or the "Group") has significant operations in countries outside the eurozone, a substantial portion of its sales, expenses and liabilities are denominated in currencies other than the euro. The foreign currency exposure includes, among others, the Turkish Lira, the Argentinian Peso, the Korean Won, the US Dollar, Saudi Riyal and Kuwaiti Dinar. Delivery Hero is therefore exposed to fluctuations in the values of these currencies relative to the euro. In the first half year 2019, we noted volatility and devaluation of some nascent market currencies such as the Turkish Lira and the Argentinian Peso.

b) Sector-Specific Outlook

Delivery Hero's Total Addressable Market (TAM) is estimated today to be greater than previously indicated € 70 billion for food delivery only. This is expected to continue expanding into the larger than € 500 billion food services market opportunity. The expansion is mainly driven by structural trends such as:

  • Online & mobile engagement,
  • On demand & last mile logistics and
  • Life-style, urbanization & convenience.

This assessment is also supported by current independent studies.2

Delivery Hero sees itself as a major beneficiary of these developments and will continue to invest further in growth and market leadership.

02. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

a) Performance

In line with expectations in the first half of the year 2019, the Delivery Hero group recorded a strong increase in revenue of the segments of 89.7% on a year-on-year basis. Excluding foodora operations in Australia, France, Italy and Netherlands that were abandoned or sold, revenues grew by 99.1% on a like-for-like basis. The negative adjusted EBITDA3 of the segments (H1 2019: € 171.1 million, H1 2018: € 36.8 million) increased compared to the prior period due to the additional investments in our service offering and into improved customer experience over the course of the last months. The negative adjusted EBITDA margin of 29.4% lies within the range as expected for the full year 2019.

b) Discontinued operations

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.

3 Adjusted EBITDA is the 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 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.

IMF, World Economic Outlook, expectation from April 2019 2 KBB Review (2018): http://www.kbbreview.com/news/is-the-kitchen-deadnew-report/

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 represents 15.5% of the total issued and outstanding share capital of Takeaway.com.

The gain from this divestment contributed € 930.1 million to the net profit of € 721.2 million in the first six months 2019.

c) Acquisitions and investments

In February 2019, Delivery Hero acquired the food delivery business of Zomato Media Pvt. Ltd. in the United Arab Emirates ("Zomato UAE") (refer to section D. of the half-year financial statements) as well as a minority investment in Zomato Holding, India, in the amount of € 43.2 million. Further in April 2019, the Group acquired RestaurangOnline Sverige AB and its subsidiary Hungry Delivery AB - together referred to as "Hungrig Group", a food delivery platform based in Sweden. The total consideration for both acquisitions was € 203.3 million.

In the first six months 2019, Delivery Hero participated in a funding round of the Glovo Group and invested further € 15.0 million resulting in a total stake of 13.3%. Further minority investments in the total amount of € 5.1 million were carried in BIO-LUTIONS International AG, Hamburg, Germany, a producer of packaging from agricultural waste and in NOSH services, Cayman Islands, a B2C and B2B virtual cafeteria and food retail company operating in Hong Kong in the first six months 2019.

Development of revenue

The increase in revenue in the first half of 2019 by 74.2% to € 510.9 million is generally attributable to a higher number of orders as a result of the additional investment in our service offering, including the further roll out of own delivery services, and into customer experience over the course of the last months as well as high organic growth, especially in MENA. In the first six months 2019, the total segment revenue, before deduction of rebates and voucher expenses, increased by 89.7% to € 581.8 million (H1 2018: € 306.7 million). On a like-for-like basis, i.e. excluding the effects for the 2018 divestments of foodora Australia, France, Italy and Netherlands, revenue grew by 99.1%.

Rebates and voucher expense increased from € 13.4 million in H1 2018 to € 71.0 million mainly in the Asia segment as part of additional marketing investments.

While commission revenue remains the largest component of revenue in the first six months 2019 with 61.9% (prior six months period: 71.7%), the share of revenue from delivery fees charged to the customer increased significantly from 12.5% in H1 2018 to 23.2%.

Development of adjusted EBITDA

In the first half of 2019, the negative adjusted EBITDA of the segments increased to € 171.1 million (H1 2018: negative € 36.8 million). The negative adjusted EBITDA margin increased from 12.0% in H1 2018 to 29.4% in H1 2019 mainly driven by higher cost of sales as a result of the expansion of own delivery services in further markets, including the roll out of further on-demand items (groceries, flowers etc.).

Consequentially cost of sales increased to € 342.6 million (H1 2018: € 124.8 million) as a result of the expansion of own delivery services. 83.9% of the total cost of sales relate to delivery expenses (H1 2018: 76.0%). Gross profit margin in H1 2019 was 32.9% (H1 2018: 57.4%). Based on segment revenues e.g. eliminating the effect of rebates and vouchers on revenue and gross profit, respectively, gross margin was 41.1%.

Marketing expenses increased by 59.4% to € 231.1 million (H1 2018: € 145.0 million) due to higher investments particularly in the segments Asia and Americas. The marketing expenses include customer acquisition costs of € 116.2 million (H1 2018: € 68.0 million) and restaurant acquisition costs of € 65.7 million (H1 2018: € 40.1 million).

IT expenses increased to € 39.5 million (H1 2018: € 24.6 million) and relate predominantly to R&D investments in local platforms and in central support functions. With 71.9%, personnel expenses continue to account for the largest share of IT expenses (H1 2018: 71.5%). Development costs resulting in the capitalization of intangible assets amounted to € 1.9 million in the first six months 2019 (H1 2018: € 1.2 million).

General administrative ("G&A") expenses increased by 47.1% to € 147.2 million. They include depreciation expenses of € 10.7 million (H1 2018: n.a.) for right-of-use assets that were recognized upon transition to IFRS 16 as of January 1, 2019. Consequentially, lease expenses decreased by € 4.0 million to € 3.7 million in H1 2019 and only reflect short term and low value leases. The increase in G&A expenses is further driven by higher expenses for share-based compensation (€ +4.0 million), increased advisory fees (€ +5,7 million) and an increase in administrative headcounts resulting in higher personnel expenses (H1 2019: € 54.6 million; H1 2018: € 42.4 million).

MENA

Segment revenues in MENA increased significantly by 150.0% to € 308.2 million in H1 2019 and orders grew by 58.4% to 135.2 million (H1 2018: 85.4 million). Besides strong overall organic growth the revenues from own delivery services including delivery fees charged separately (increased by 350.0% from € 44.4 million to € 200.0 million compared to H1 2018) are the main driver of the increase. The Zomato UAE business is reflected in the segment performance since the acquisition on February 28, 2019. The appreciation of the Euro in comparison to Turkish Lira softened the increase in revenue.

The adjusted EBITDA decreased by € 18.7 million to a negative adjusted EBITDA of € 9.7 million in H1 2019. This development reflects the continued expansion into multiple cities as well as the ongoing roll out of own-delivery services in the MENA region. The adjusted EBITDA of MENA was further impacted in H1 2019 by one-off costs related to the restructuring of the fleet management of Hungerstation as well as costs regarding the integration of Zomato UAE. The devaluation of the Turkish Lira further contributed to the development with € 5.2 million.

Europe

In the first half of 2019, the Europe segment revenue increased by 18.5% to € 78.2 million (H1 2018: € 66.0 million) based on an increase in orders by 34.3% to 39.9 million (H1 2018: 29.7 million). On a like-for-like basis, i.e. excluding the effects for the 2018 divestments of foodora France, Italy and Netherlands, revenue grew by 42.8%.

The adjusted EBITDA (H1 2019: negative € 9.6 million, H1 2018: negative € 9.8 million) and adjusted EBITDA margin (H1 2019: negative 12.3%, H1 2018: negative 14.8%) for the Europe segment improved as a result of the divestments of the noncore foodora businesses. On a like-for-like basis, i.e. excluding the effects for the 2018 divestments of foodora France, Italy and Netherlands, the negative adjusted EBITDA (increase by € 8.7 million) and the negative adjusted EBITDA margin (H1 2019: negative 12.3%, H1 2018 Like-for-Like: negative 1.6%) increased year on year, which results primarily from the increase of expenses for own delivery services and marketing.

Asia

In the first half of 2019, revenues of the Asia segment increased by 70.4%. A disproportionate growth in orders at a lower average basket size was observed (order growth: 92.4% to 70.6 million in H1 2019; H1 2018: 36.7 million). The positive revenue and order development are driven by investments in affordability, restaurant coverage, product as well as the expansion into new cities and areas as well as an increase of own delivery orders. Aside the strong growth of commission revenue of 60.3%, revenue from delivery fees increased by € 35.9 million (+105.0%).

The adjusted EBITDA increased from negative € 18.0 million to negative € 94.6 million as a consequence of the higher investments mentioned above. Consequentially the adjusted EBITDA margin deteriorated to negative 63.3% (H1 2018: negative 20.5%).

Group revenue by segments H1 2018

Americas

Segment revenue of H1 2019 in the Americas segment increased by 54.6% to € 45.7 million (H1 2018: € 29.6 million). The number of orders grew by 39.9% to 23.1 million (H1 2018: 16.5 million). The positive development in revenue is primarily driven by higher delivery revenues reflecting a strong focus on the further rollout of delivery services including expansion of delivery services for further on-demand items. Adversely, the appreciation of the Euro, in particular to the Argentinian Peso, reduced the segment revenue growth substantially.

The negative adjusted EBITDA increased by € 39.2 million to negative € 57.2 million (H1 2018: negative € 18.0 million) and the negative adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 125.2% (H1 2018: negative 60.8%), reflecting particularly the higher investment in own delivery service including new verticals and customer acquisition activities in a highly competitive market.

05. FINANCIAL POSITION

The development of the Group's financial position in the first half of 2019 is shown in the following condensed statement of cash flows:

EUR million H1 2019 H1 2018
Cash and cash equivalents
as of January 1 439.8 627.3
Cash flow from operating activities –118.3 –53.1
Cash flow from investing activities 471.2 86.1
Cash flow from financing activities 26.3 12.2
Effect of exchange rate movements
on cash and cash equivalents –5.7 –6.3
Cash and cash equivalents
as of June 30 813.3 666.2

The financial position of the Group has improved in H1 2019. The negative cash flow from operating activities was overcompensated by the positive cash flow from investing activities.

The investing activities in H1 2019 are characterized by the net cash inflow from the divestment of the German operations of € 487.5 million, as well as a cash inflow of € 208.0 million in connection with the equity collar agreement with respect to 3.2 million of its shares in Takeaway. com N.V. (refer to section F.03. of the half-year financial statements). Cash outflows of € 188.4 million relate to the acquisitions of Zomato UAE - including the minority investment in Zomato Holding - and the Hungrig Group in H1 2019 and the additional investment into Glovo. The cash flow from investing activities in H1 2018 reflected mainly the cash inflow from the consideration for the divestment of the hungryhouse group (€ 233.5 million) in January 2018 and the cash outflow from the investment in a minority stake in the Rappi group (€ 93.2 million).

The H1 2019 cash inflow from financing activities (€ 26.3 million; H1 2018: € 12.2 million) resulted from capital increases in connection with the exercise of equity settled stock options in H1 2019 as well as a dividend paid by the equity investment Hungry NL.

The non-current assets increased mainly due to recognition of shares in Takeaway.com N.V. (€ 519,1 million) received as part of the consideration for the sale of the German operations. Further, additions in goodwill (€ 197.4 million) and intangible assets (€ 6.5 million) in connection with the acquisition of Zomato UAE and the Hungrig Group contributed to the increase. Right-of-use assets that were recognized in accordance with IFRS 16 contributed € 96.8 million to the higher non-current assets. The increase was partly offset by currency effects in connection with the appreciation of Euro to some currencies like Turkish Lira.

The increase in current assets in H1 2019 was mainly due to an increase of € 449.3 million in cash and cash equivalents (refer to section 05. Financial positions). Derivative financial assets of € 12.2 million are recognized in connection with the equity collar agreement on Takeaway shares (refer to section F.03. of the half-year financial statements for further information). 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.

Equity increased due to the H1 2019 net profit of € 721.2 million that includes the disposal gain from the sale of the German operations in April 2019. Further four capital increases from the authorized capital in connection with the exercise of equity settled stock options raised equity by € 27.6 million. Contrary currency translation losses reflected in other comprehensive income reduced equity by € 22.5 million in H1 2019.

As of June 30, 2019, non-current liabilities were majorly impacted by the recognition of long-term lease liabilities of € 80.7 million, in accordance with IFRS 16. Further, non-current liabilities as of June 30, 2019, include earnout liabilities and deferred compensation from acquisitions in the first six months 2019 of € 66.0 million primarily from the Zomato UAE acquisition.

The increase of current liabilities resulted mainly from the organic growth of the Group in the first half of 2019 leading to higher restaurant liabilities (increase by € 56.5 million) and from the recognition of short-term lease liabilities of € 16.1 million as of June 30, 2019, in accordance with IFRS 16. Further, the virtual share program was reclassified from equity-settled to cash-settled based on a change in management's intention of settlement, leading to an increase of current liabilities of € 4.8 million. 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.

07. EMPLOYEES

The number of employees increased to 22,948 as of June 30, 2019 (December 31, 2018: 20,608), mainly due to an increase in delivery personnel.

C. RISK AND OPPORTUNITIES

In the first six months of 2019, Delivery Hero Group's risk and opportunity profile did not substantially change to the profile as described in the risk and opportunity report of our combined group management report 2018.

Subsequent to the reporting date the Turkish Lira continued to weaken against the Euro. The development of the Argentine Peso started to stabilize compared to the development as seen in 2018. However, the inflation rate in Argentina continues to increase on a high level and therefore Argentina continues to be reported as a hyperinflationary economy. We are closely monitoring foreign currency devaluations and are reassessing the associated financial risks. However, as of the date of issuance of this interim group management report we consider the financial risks unchanged as described in the risk and opportunity report of our combined group management report 2018.

We did not identify risks that threaten the going concern of the Delivery Hero group.

INTERIM GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORT HALF-YEAR REPORT 2019

D. OUTLOOK 2019

Global growth expectation for 2019 and 2020 continues to be stable and slightly positive. Furthermore, Delivery Hero expects to further benefit from structural trends in the use of technology, logistics and lifestyle.

As a result of the strong business performance Delivery Hero raised its revenue guidance to between € 1.3 and € 1.4 billion for the Full Year 2019 on June 19, 2019. Given the continued positive momentum with higher levels of new customer acquisitions, orders and revenues, the Company expects to achieve full year revenues in line with the top end of the previously announced guidance range.

Based on the investment returns observed, in June 2019, Delivery Hero announced to opportunistically invest up to additional € 100 million in the second half of 2019 if returns remain attractive. Accordingly, the expected adjusted negative EBITDA for full year 2019 was raised compared with the outlook as disclosed in the annual report. It is expected to be between negative € 370 million and negative € 420 million. The MENA segment is still expected to contribute a positive adjusted EBITDA of € 70 million based on the expectation of significant operating profits from the strong underlying segment performance. One-off effects in MENA are not expected to be carried forward in H2 2019. For Europe expectation remains that the segment will reach breakeven on an adjusted EBITDA level during the second half of 2019.

Due to the comparatively short history of the Group and the fact that Delivery Hero is operating in a relatively new market, 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 factors that cannot be influenced. For example, if the Group were forced to defend its position against new competitors in specific markets or to react to revenue downturns, then measures which may not have been scheduled previously may have to be implemented (e.g. increasing marketing expenditure) which can negatively affect adjusted EBITDA and trigger considerable deviations from the estimated results.

The assumptions on the economic development of the market and the industry are based on assessments which the management of the Delivery Hero group considers realistic in line with currently available information. However, these estimates are subject to uncertainty and bring with them the unavoidable risk that the forecasts do not occur, either in terms of direction or in relation to extent. The forecast for the forecast period is based on the composition of the Group at the time the interim group management report was prepared.

SELECTED NOTES TO HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

01. Company information

Delivery Hero SE is the parent company of the Delivery Hero group (also referred to as: Delivery Hero or Group) and located in Oranienburger Straße 70, 10117 Berlin. It is registered with the commercial register of the Local Court, Berlin Charlottenburg under HRB 198015 B.

The Management Board prepared the half-year financial statements by September 2, 2019, and submitted these directly to the Supervisory Board for approval.

02. Basis of financial reporting in accordance with IFRS

a) Basis of preparation

The condensed unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Group for the first half of 2019 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union for interim financial reporting applicable as of the reporting date.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not contain all information and disclosures in the notes that are required for consolidated financial statements and should thus be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018. In order to gain an understanding of the significant changes in the financial position and financial performance since the 2018 consolidated financial statements, selected disclosures regarding significant events and transactions are included in the notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in Euro. Unless otherwise stated, all figures have been rounded to the nearest EUR million. Disclosures on changes are based on exact values. In addition, for computational reasons, there may be rounding differences to the exact mathematical values in tables and references.

In accordance with IFRS 5 the German business was classified as a discontinued operation in December 2018. Comparative information in the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as of and for the period ending June 30, 2019, is restated accordingly. The sale of the German operations was completed on April 1, 2019 (refer to section F.05.).

In preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the accounting policies used for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018, remain unchanged except for application of IFRS 16. Changes due to application of this standard are described in section b) Changes in significant accounting policies below. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management estimates and judgements. The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018. New judgments and sources of estimation uncertainty related to the application of IFRS 16 are described in section b) below.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the interim group management report have not been audited or reviewed by an auditor.

b) Changes in significant accounting policies IFRS 16

The Group has initially adopted IFRS 16 Leases effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective method. Accordingly, the Group presented the comparative period in line with previous principles.

IFRS 16 introduces a single, on-balance sheet accounting model for lessees. As a result, the Group, as a lessee, has recognized right-of-use assets representing its rights to use the underlying assets and the corresponding lease liabilities representing its obligation to make lease payments. Lessor accounting remains similar to previous accounting principles. The details of the changes in accounting policies are disclosed below.

Definition of a lease

Previously, the Group determined at contract inception whether an arrangement was or contained a lease under IFRIC 4. The Group now assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease based on the new lease definition. Under IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

On transition to IFRS 16, the Group elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the historical assessment of which transactions are leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 were not reassessed. The definition of a lease under IFRS 16 has been applied to contracts entered into or modified on or after January 1, 2019.

At inception or upon reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices.

As a lessee

The Group leases predominantly office space, vehicles and office equipment.

As a lessee, the Group previously classified leases as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the lease transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Under IFRS 16, the Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases – i.e. these leases are "on-balance sheet".

The Group has elected to apply the recognition exemptions to leases of low-value assets and short-term leases with a (remaining) lease term of 12 months or less. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

For all other leases a lease liability and a right-of-use asset is recognized upon transition.

At transition, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Group's incremental borrowing rate as at January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets are measured at an amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments.

The Group used further practical expedients when applying IFRS 16 to leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17 as follows:

  • Applied a single discount rate for those leases with reasonably similar characteristics;
  • Used hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.

Impacts at transition date January 1, 2019

On transition to IFRS 16, the Group recognized € 79.4 million of right-of-use assets and additional € 78.0 million of lease liabilities.

When measuring lease liabilities for leases that were classified as operating leases, the Group discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at January 1, 2019. The weighted-average rate applied is 6.76%.

Accounting of contracts commencing January 1, 2019

The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprise the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to restore the underlying asset, less any lease incentives received. It is subsequently depreciated on a straight-line basis from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the asset or the end of the lease term. The right-of-use asset is reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized costs using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or if the Group changes the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is exercised, or a termination option is not exercised.

When the lease liability is remeasured in that way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

The Group presents right-of-use assets in "property, plant and equipment", and lease liabilities in "trade and other payables".

In order to determine the lease term for lease contracts in which the Group is a lessee that include renewal or termination options judgements is applied to assess the exercise of the respective option.

c) New standards and interpretations that have not yet been applied

A number of new standards and amendments to standards (other than IFRS 16) are effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2019. None of these new standards or amendments are expected to have significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

B. SEASONAL INFLUENCES ON BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Business operations are affected by fluctuations related to weather and public holidays at the level of the individual entity and are subject to seasonal influence in some regions where the seasons are particularly pronounced, such as Northern Europe. In these regions, order demand is typically higher in autumn and winter owing to shorter daylight hours and frequent poor weather.

At Group level, seasonal influences are not as significant due to the diversification of all entities and are eclipsed by organic and external growth. The appreciation of the Euro to several local currencies of our subsidiaries softened the revenue growth of the Group and impacted also the

adjusted EBITDA through translation effects. However, political and economic crises have not had a material impact on the development of the Group.

C. OPERATING SEGMENTS

The segment presentation corresponds with the presentation in the consolidated financial statements 2018 except that German businesses divested in April 2019 and therefore classified as discontinued operations excluded from the segment performance in the first six months 2019. The comparative period is retrospectively adjusted.

In H2 2018, the non-core operations of foodora Australia, France, Italy and Netherlands were abandoned or sold. However, the H1 2018 comparative segment information is not restated.

Due to the complexity of this acquisition, the initial accounting for business combination is incomplete as at June 30, 2019, in respect of the measurement for intangible assets. Therefore, the reported amounts are provisional pursuant to IFRS 3.45.

Customer relationships have been measured on a basis pursuant to IFRS 3. None of the intangible assets have an indefinite useful life. Goodwill, which consists primarily of not separable components such as positive business prospects and employee know-how, is not deductible for tax purposes.

Since its first inclusion Zomato UAE has contributed € 8.7 million towards Group's revenues and a net profit of € 0.8 million.

If Zomato UAE had been consolidated as of January 1, 2019, it would have contributed € 12.5 million to revenue and a net income of € 0.4 million to net profit.

b) Hungrig Group

As at April 30, 2019, Delivery Hero Group acquired Hungrig Group, a food delivery platform based in Sweden. The entity operates a mixed food delivery model – offering vendor as well as own delivery services to end-customers. The acquisition of 100% of the shares in Hungrig Group represents a strategic investment in the Swedish market. The shares acquired are representative of the voting rights.

The total consideration for the acquisition is € 15.9 million. It includes a contingent consideration of € 8.0 million. The contingent consideration depends on the future performance of the businesses; the maximum amount of the contingency is € 8.0 million.

The total consideration for the Hungrig Group acquisition transferred is allocated between the recognized assets and assumed liabilities as follows:

Brands, customer relationships and deferred taxes have been measured on a basis pursuant to IFRS 3. None of the intangible assets have an indefinite useful life.

Goodwill, which consists primarily of not separable components such as positive business prospects and employee know-how, is not deductible for tax purposes.

Combined trade receivables from third parties with a gross value of € 0.4 million were acquired and are assessed as being fully recoverable.

Since their first inclusion the acquired entities have contributed € 1.7 million towards Group's revenues and a net loss of € 0.3 million.

If the acquisition had been consolidated as of January 1, 2019, the entities would have contributed € 3.3 million to revenue and a net loss of € 0.6 million to net profit.

04. General administrative expenses

General administrative expenses mainly include personnel expenses of € 54.6 million (H1 2018: € 42.4 million), expenses for share-based payments of € 15.7 million (H1 2018: € 11.7 million), advisory and audit fees of € 12.7 million (H1 2018: € 7.0 million) and expenses for depreciation and amortization of € 22.0 million (H1 2018: € 6.3 million).

Depreciation and amortization increased as a result of adopting IFRS 16 as at January 1, 2019. The expenses for leases decreased to € 3.7 million (H1 2018: € 7.8 million). We refer to note A.02.b) for further details of transition to IFRS 16.

05. Other financial result

In the first half of 2019, the other financial result includes valuation effects of €90.1 million from fair value adjustments for the financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss – comprising mainly the valuation of the shares in Takeaway.com (€ 85.1 million) as well as € 5.0 million from the valuation of derivatives recognized in connection with the equity collar agreement with respect to 3.2 million shares in Takeaway.com (refer to section F.03. for further information). Further, a loss from derecognition of the shares in Takeaway.com subject to the collar of € 5.1 million was recognized in accordance with IFRS 9.

Foreign currency transaction losses within the other financial result amount to € 2.4 million (H1 2018: gains of € 9.1 million). The application of IAS 29 for Argentina, which was evaluated as a hyperinflationary economy in the third quarter of 2018 resulted in a net gain of € 4.1 million on the net monetary position of the Argentine operations for the first six months 2019 (H1 2018: € 0.0 million since Argentina was not considered hyperinflationary until Q3 2018).

06. Result from equity-accounted investees

The result from equity accounted investees mostly results from the pro rata losses of the investments in Rappi and Glovo.

07. Income taxes

For the calculation of period income tax expenses and income for entities for which income tax expenses and income are expected for the current financial year, the Group uses the respective estimated tax rate that would be applicable for the total expected expenditure and income of the full year.

F. NOTES IN THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION

01. Intangible assets

The increase in intangible assets in the first six months 2019 is mainly attributable to additions to goodwill and other intangibles in the course of the acquisition of Zomato UAE (refer to section D.). The increase is partly offset by foreign currency effects – predominantly the devaluation of the Turkish Lira against Euro (negative € 19.8 million) – and amortization charges (negative € 16.7 million).

02. Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment increased primarily as a result of the recognition of right-of-use assets for lease contracts (€ 96.8 million) as a result of the transition to IFRS 16. Refer to section A.02.b) for detailed information on the effect of first-time adoption of IFRS 16.

03. Other financial assets

As of June 30, 2019, other non-current financial assets comprise 6.3 million shares in Takeaway.com that the Group received as part of the consideration for the German operations. The shares are accounted for at fair value through profit and loss in accordance with IFRS 9. As of June 30, 2019, the shares are measured at their fair value of € 82.40 per share. Further, in H1 2019 Delivery Hero invested in a minority stake in Zomato Holding which contributed € 43.2 million to the increase in other non-current financial assets.

As of April 4, 2019, Delivery Hero entered into a multi-year equity collar agreement ("collar", or "collar transaction") in relation to 3.2 million of the total 9.5 million shares in Takeaway.com that were received in connection with the sale of the German operations. As part of the collar transaction the respective shares were transferred into a custody account and sold by Morgan Stanley in a blocksale transaction. Cash proceeds from the blocksale in the amount of € 208.0 million were transferred to Delivery Hero. The collar consisting of a combination of a short call and a long put position limits the downside risk of fair value changes of the share while allowing Delivery Hero to participate in part of any further share price appreciation. Following the requirements of IFRS 9, the shares that are subject to the collar agreement were derecognized as of April 4, 2019. Delivery Hero has the right to repurchase the shares through repayment of the cash proceeds received from the blocksale (€ 208.0 million). The collar represents a continuing involvement in the derecognised financial assets and expires in tranches between October 2021 and September 2022. As of June 30, 2019, net financial assets of € 12.2 million are recognized for the derivatives identified within the collar transaction and included in other non-current financial assets which represents the maximum exposure to loss at the reporting period. The derivatives are classified as financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss.

04. Equity-accounted investees

During H1 2019, Delivery Hero Group participated in a funding round of Glovo and invested further € 15.0 million. The total share in Glovo is 13.3% as of June 30, 2019.

In April 2019, Delivery Hero acquired a stake of 20.2% in BIO-LUTIONS International AG, Hamburg, Germany, a producer of packaging from agricultural waste and a 21.8% stake in NOSH services, Cayman Islands, a B2C and B2B virtual cafeteria and food retail company operating in Hong Kong, for a total consideration of € 5.1 million for both investments.

05. Assets and Liabilities included in a disposal group classified as held for sale

The divestment of the German operations was executed on April 1, 2019. As of the date of execution the German operations of Lieferheld, pizza.de and foodora are no longer part of Delivery Hero's consolidation scope anymore.

Accordingly, the assets and liabilities included in disposal group classified as held for sale have decreased by € 366.8 million and € 74.8 million respectively. As of June 30, 2019, no assets or liabilities are classified as held for sale.

06. Equity

In the first six months 2019, equity increased in four capital increases in connection with the exercise of equity settled stock options by € 27.6 million, thereof € 2.8 million in subscribed capital and € 24.8 million in capital reserves.

G. OTHER DISCLOSURES

01. Share-based payments

LTIP – granting of new restricted stock units ("RSUs") and stock options

In the first half of 2019, a total of 202,624 RSUs and 1,166,689 stock options were granted to new and existing beneficiaries (new tranches) of the LTIP.

The total share based compensation expense amounts to € 15.7 million (H1 2018: € 11.7 million), thereof € 14.7 million incurred for the LTIP in the first six months 2019 (H1 2018: € 2.7 million). Comparability of LTIP related expenses is limited since the program was only introduced in May 2018.

Virtual Share Program 2017 ("VSP 2017") – modification to cash settled

In May 2019, management changed the settlement method of the VSP 2017 in line with the terms & conditions of the program from equity settled to cash settled. The modification resulted in a valuation expense of € 1.6 million and an increase of the liability for share based payments to € 4.8 million.

For all other program's management continues to intent settlement in equity.

DH SOP – exercise windows

Beneficiaries of the DH SOP were able to exercise their equity settled awards in two exercise windows in the first half of 2019, which led to a capital increase of the subscribed capital of € 2.8 million and the capital reserve of € 24.8 million.

02. Contingencies

In 2019, the Group has become party to an arbitration proceeding with a minority shareholder in a Group company who requests damages and the right to sell his shares in the Group company. The Group assessed the prospect of success for the minority shareholder as not probable.

Further, claims by a local regulatory authority were raised in H1 2019 in connection with an M&A transaction. The Group does currently not expect that it is probable that these claims will be founded and will defend itself against the claims.

Fair value

1 Classification and measurements of finance lease payables meet the requirements of IAS 17 Leases.

Fair value measurement

The fair value is not disclosed for some current financial assets and current financial liabilities because their carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value due to their short-term nature. Fair values of some non-current financial assets approximate their carrying amount because there were no significant changes in the measurement inputs since their fair value was determined upon initial recognition.

In determining the fair values of the investments, "prior sale of company stock" method, and discounted cash flows techniques are applied. The prior sale of company stock method considers any prior arm's length sales of the equity securities. The discounted cash flows technique considers the present value of expected payments, discounted using a risk-adjusted discount rate.

The fair values of contingent purchase price obligations resulting from business combinations are estimated taking into account the underlying contingency as agreed with the seller in a particular business combination.

The fair values of the derivative financial instruments are determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The significant input parameters are volatility of the underlying share and risk-free interest rate which are derived from observable market data.

The reconciliation of level 3 instruments measured at fair value is as follows:

Assets Liabilities
EUR million Investments Contingent and
uncontingent
purchase price
obligations
As of Jan. 01, 2018
Reclassified upon adoption of IFRS 9 28.8
Additions 16.1 10.8

Disposals –1.5 –1.1
Gains/losses recorded in profit or loss –0.2 0.9
As of June 30, 2019 89.3 86.1

Total gains and losses from the change in level 3 instruments measured at fair value are unrealised gains and losses and are recognized in other financial result.

As of June 30, 2019, the effect on profit or loss in response to changes in the inputs into the fair value measurements would be as follows:
