We see good progress in the expansion of our delivery network and have ramped up our marketing efforts, which we believe are necessary investments to support future growth.

Jitse Groen, CEO and founder of Just Eat Takeaway.com

Group highlights

  • Gross Transaction Value ('GTV') grew 2% in constant currency for the Group excluding Rest of World.
  • Total revenue was €1,747 million in H1 2025 compared with €1,776 million for H1 2024. Lower order volumes were partially offset by improved order monetisation and higher advertising revenue.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for H1 2025 reached €147 million, reflecting a 4% increase from H1 2024, despite significant investments in logistics expansion and marketing initiatives.
  • Free cash flow before changes in working capital decreased to €16 million in H1 2025 from €41 million in H1 2024, primarily due to higher exceptional costs related to mergers and acquisitions and organisational restructuring.
  • Net result from continuing operations amounted to a loss of €90 million in H1 2025 compared with a loss of €203 million in H1 2024. This was mainly driven by the absence of impairment losses and a reduction in staff costs.

Segment highlights

  • In Europe, GTV in constant currency increased by 1% to €4.6 billion in H1 2025 compared with €4.5 billion in H1 2024. Adjusted EBITDA decreased to €117 million in H1 2025 from €156 million in H1 2024 reflecting strategic investments in logistics expansion and higher marketing spend.
  • In the United Kingdom & Ireland, GTV in constant currency increased by 3% to €3.6 billion in H1 2025 compared with €3.4 billion in H1 2024. Adjusted EBITDA significantly improved by 32% year-on-year reaching €121 million in H1 2025 compared with €92 million in H1 2024. This was mainly driven by higher revenue and reduced order fulfilment costs, achieved through streamlining our delivery operations into a single model. Adjusted EBITDA margin continued to improve to 3.4% in H1 2025 compared with 2.7% in H1 2024.
  • Adjusted EBITDA in Rest of World improved to €10 million in H1 2025 from breakeven in H1 2024, driven by a significant reduction in staff costs offsetting headwinds from the order decline.

  • On 29 July 2025, Prosus announced an extension of the acceptance period for its public offer to acquire all outstanding shares of Just Eat Takeaway.com until 1 October 2025.
