• Takeaway.com processed 93.9 million orders in 2018, representing a 38% increase compared with 2017, or 30% on a like-for-like basis. Order growth in Q4 2018 was 55% compared with Q4 2017, or 30% on a like-for-like basis.

• The fourth quarter of 2018 is the first-ever quarter in which the Germany segment processed more orders than the Netherlands. Management believes there is still ample growth ahead, given the penetration of online food delivery in Germany is amongst the lowest in Europe.

• On 21 December 2018, Takeaway.com signed an agreement to acquire the German operations of Delivery Hero for a total consideration of approximately €930 million. The transaction is subject to approval of the general meeting and anticipated to be completed by the first half of 2019. For more information, reference is made to the press release.

• October 2018 was the first-ever month to exceed the one million orders milestone in Poland.

• 10bis in Israel has been included as part of the Other Leading Markets segment since completion on 26 September 2018 and contributed 4.8 million orders in Q4 2018.

• As a result of our additional investments to further develop restaurant delivery services, Scoober operations were launched in five additional cities, including Tel Aviv, Israel, during the fourth quarter of 2018. Takeaway.com currently provides restaurant delivery services in 38 cities in ten countries.
