• Takeaway.com processed 41.6 million orders in the third quarter of 2019, representing an 87% increase compared with the third quarter of 2018, driven by both organic growth and acquisitions.

• In Austria, our brand name has been changed from Lieferservice.at to Lieferando.at to benefit from the spill-over effect of our strong brand awareness in Germany.

• The roll-out of Scoober continued with the expansion to four additional cities in the third quarter of 2019. Scoober is now active in 73 cities in ten countries. We will continue to invest in expansion to more new cities, primarily in Poland, where McDonald’s was recently added to our offering.
