Just Eat Takeaway.com orders rose 25% in Q3, company says
Britain delivered the sharpest growth.
Just Eat Takeaway.com said orders increased by 25% to 266 million in the third quarter.
The company also repeated its full-year forecast for an EBITDA loss of 1%-1.5% on a gross transaction value of 28 to 30 billion euros (US$32.34 billion to US$34.65 billion) for 2021, or a loss of between 280 to 380 million euros.
"With most of the world returning to pre-pandemic life, our growth in the third quarter of 2021 has remained strong. Just Eat Takeaway.com is well-positioned for autumn and winter, our traditional growth season," chief executive officer Jitse Groen said in a statement.
Britain delivered the sharpest growth, with orders up 51% in the third quarter compared with the same period in 2020. The one billion sales made in the UK since Just Eat had been founded demonstrated “enormous scale and longevity”, the company said.
Germany followed as the second fastest-growing market.
