Half Year 2023 Results

·    Northern Europe and UK and Ireland returned to GTV growth in Q2 2023

·    Half-year Adjusted EBITDA[1] improved to €143 million

·    UK and Ireland on track to reach a similarly high AEBITDA Margin as Northern Europe

·    Fast approaching our positive free cash flow[2] target

Jitse Groen, CEO and founder of Just Eat Takeaway.com said: "Since our IPO, our objective has been to build and extend large scale and sustainably profitable positions in our markets. With the majority of our Orders coming from Northern Europe and UK and Ireland, these two segments returning to growth in the second quarter of 2023 is a key milestone. Encouragingly, UK and Ireland is on its way to a similarly high profit margin as Northern Europe. The remainder of the business is also showing improving GTV growth and profitability trends, leading to the Company fast approaching its positive free cash flow target."

Group highlights[3]

●      Northern Europe and UK and Ireland returned to year-on-year Gross Transaction Value ('GTV') growth of 4% and 1% (3% at constant currency) respectively in Q2 2023. As a consequence, the H1 2023 GTV growth for both segments was also positive. North America and Southern Europe and ANZ are following the same improving trend. GTV for the entire business declined by 4% on a constant currency basis in Q2 2023. 

●      Adjusted EBITDA amounted to €143 million in H1 2023, reflecting a material improvement of €277 million compared with H1 2022. Ongoing focus on efficiency in Delivery operations as well as general costs saving initiatives were the main reasons for this increase. All operating segments materially contributed to this improvement.

●      In Northern Europe, the Adjusted EBITDA Margin as a percentage of GTV ('Adjusted EBITDA Margin') reached our 5.0% long-term target in H1 2023. The UK and Ireland segment, with a 1.8% margin, is on track to reach a similarly high Adjusted EBITDA Margin.

●      We are fast approaching our positive free cash flow target. Free cash flow before changes in working capital significantly improved to minus €78 million in H1 2023 from minus €407 million in H1 2022. Excluding exceptionals and a one-off 2012/2013 tax settlement with the Danish tax authority, free cash flow before changes in working capital was minus €16 million.

●      Grubhub, with a free cash flow of minus €56 million in H1 2023, is also on a path to cash flow breakeven. We have initiated a number of measures which we believe will lead to further improvements going forward.

●      Our global grocery proposition continues to progress well with approx. 40,000 grocery Partners on the platform by 30 June 2023, a growth of 36% compared with the end of June 2022, with particularly strong progress in the UK and Ireland.

●      Advertising[4] revenue was €99 million in H1 2023 excluding Grubhub, a 33% increase compared with the same period last year, with significant opportunities ahead to expand offerings within this vertical. Grubhub's advertising revenue is excluded as this is part of a tiered commission structure.

●      Brent Wissink informed the Company that he wishes to pursue other opportunities and will be stepping down as Chief Financial Officer and resign from the Management Board of the Company as per the Company's annual general meeting in May 2024. The Supervisory Board will initiate the process of finding a successor for Mr. Brent Wissink.

Segment highlights³

●      In the North America segment, GTV decreased by 12% to €5.1 billion in H1 2023, mainly caused by lower Order volumes, which were partly offset by a higher ATV. Adjusted EBITDA turned positive and amounted to €51 million in H1 2023, from minus €4 million in H1 2022, despite the ongoing headwind to segment profitability from fee caps in New York City. In parallel to actively exploring a partial or full sale of Grubhub, we have appointed a new CEO, are realising US$30 million+ run-rate savings from 2024 onwards through a restructuring and have established a path to cash flow breakeven at Grubhub, excluding any positive impact of a potential New York City fee cap amendment.

●      In the Northern Europe segment, GTV increased by 2% to €3.8 billion in H1 2023 compared with H1 2022, driven by a higher ATV. Major markets such as Germany and the Netherlands saw sequential improvement in year-on-year Order growth. Northern Europe continued to demonstrate strong improvements in profitability with an Adjusted EBITDA of €191 million in H1 2023, up from €124 million in H1 2022. The Adjusted EBITDA Margin was at our 5.0% long-term target in H1 2023, with potential for further improvement.

●      In the UK and Ireland segment, GTV increased by 1% at constant currency in H1 2023 compared with H1 2022. Both Orders and GTV sequentially grew in Q2 2023 compared with Q1 2023. Adjusted EBITDA improved significantly to €56 million in H1 2023 from minus €18 million in H1 2022, showing strong margin improvement with Adjusted EBITDA Margin reaching 1.8%.

●      In the Southern Europe and ANZ segment, Adjusted EBITDA losses halved to minus €55 million in H1 2023 from minus €110 million in H1 2022 on the back of improved unit economics.

Other Financials

●      Just Eat Takeaway.com's cash and cash equivalents amounted to €1,799 million as per 30 June 2023. We are well-capitalised to meet all our future debt obligations.

●      We were able to use part our strong liquidity position to buy back shares. Under the €150 million share buyback programme announced on 19 April 2023, 2.73% of issued shares were repurchased as per 21 July 2023.

●      Net loss for the period of €258 million in H1 2023 was mainly driven by the non-cash amortisation of intangibles acquired through business combinations.

Outlook

●      GTV growth to be in a range of -4% to +2% year-on-year in 2023^[5], with a return to growth skewed towards the end of the year, given the lower absolute Order level of H2 2022 versus H1 2022.

●      Management expects to deliver a positive Adjusted EBITDA of approximately €275 million in 2023. This guidance includes additional investments in food and non-food adjacencies, wage costs inflation and reflects an uncertain macro-economic environment.

●      Management expects free cash flow before working capital to turn positive in mid-2024.

●      The long-term objectives for Just Eat Takeaway.com remain unchanged.

●      Management, together with its advisers, continues to actively explore the partial or full sale of Grubhub. There can be no certainty that any such strategic actions will be agreed or what the timing of such agreements will be. Further announcements will be made as and when appropriate.

Just Eat Takeaway.com N.V. (LSE: JET, AMS: TKWY), hereinafter the 'Company', or together with its group companies 'Just Eat Takeaway.com', one of the world's leading online food delivery companies, hereby reports its financial results for the first six months of 2023.

•     Adjusted EBITDA Margin (%)	1.0%	-0.1%	17.3pp
1 Change at constant currency level for GTV is minus 12%
2 Change at constant currency level for revenue is minus 13%

North America is the largest segment in terms of Orders and GTV, representing 32% of the total Just Eat Takeaway.com Orders and 39% of the total GTV in the first six months of 2023.

During H1 2023, North America Orders decreased by 15% compared with the same period last year. This year-on-year decline can be attributed to the impact of the pandemic primarily in Q1 2022, and the competitive nature of the North American market. In Q2 2023, we observed a return towards pre-pandemic seasonal ordering patterns, with improvements in year-on-year Order growth from Q1 2023 to Q2 2023.

GTV decreased by 12% to €5,130 million in H1 2023 from €5,832 million in H1 2022. This was primarily driven by lower Order volume, partially offset by a higher ATV.

North America revenue declined by 13% to €1,106 million in H1 2023 from €1,271 million in H1 2022, largely driven by the decrease in GTV.

North America demonstrated continued improvement in Adjusted EBITDA during H1 2023. Adjusted EBITDA increased to €51 million in H1 2023 from minus €4 million in H1 2022. The Adjusted EBITDA Margin improved to 1.0% in H1 2023 from minus 0.1% in H1 2022 mainly driven by the improved efficiency of our Delivery network as a result of increased Order pooling, allowing a courier to combine multiple Orders into one Delivery round, and enhanced technology.  

As fee caps in New York City remain a headwind, we continue to pursue legal and legislative remedies as we believe fee caps are contrary to the law.

In July 2022, Grubhub and Amazon.com Services LLC ('Amazon') entered into a commercial agreement in the US, offering Amazon Prime members a one-year free membership of Grubhub+, Grubhub's loyalty program. In June 2023, Grubhub and Amazon announced the extension for an additional year of their one-year free Grubhub+ offer for Amazon Prime members in the United States.

2 Change at constant currency level for GTV is 2%
3 Change at constant currency level for revenue is 9%

The Northern Europe segment made up 30% of the total Just Eat Takeaway.com's Orders and 29% of the total GTV during the first six months of 2023, with Germany being the largest market in terms of Orders and GTV.

Northern Europe experienced an 8% year-on-year Order decline in H1 2023 compared with H1 2022, primarily attributed to the impact of the pandemic on the prior year comparatives.

In H1 2023, Northern Europe returned to GTV growth, with a year-on-year increase of 2% to €3,799 million in H1 2023 from €3,722 million in H1 2022. Growth in GTV was driven by higher ATV impacted by food price inflation. Notably, we delivered particularly encouraging GTV growth in key markets such as Germany.

Northern Europe revenue grew by 10% to €624 million in H1 2023 from €570 million in H1 2022. Revenue growth outpaced GTV growth, fueled by strategic optimisation of Partner and consumer pricing that started at the end of 2022. We also saw higher Promoted Placement revenue driven by the increased demand from our Partners.

Northern Europe Adjusted EBITDA increased by 54% to €191 million in H1 2023 from €124 million in H1 2022. The Adjusted EBITDA Margin improved to 5.0% in H1 2023 from 3.3% in H1 2022, and remained broadly flat compared with H2 2022, driven by the increase in revenue as a percentage of GTV, improvements in Delivery efficiency and targeted operating expenses reduction programmes. Northern Europe remained the segment with the highest Adjusted EBITDA Margin within Just Eat Takeaway.com.

2 Change at constant currency level for revenue is minus 1%

UK and Ireland together made up 27% of the total Just Eat Takeaway.com Orders and 24% of the total GTV during the first six months of 2023.

UK and Ireland experienced a 9% decline in Orders in H1 2023 compared with H1 2022 which can be attributed to lapping the pandemic tailwinds in 2022. In Q2 2023, the year-on-year decline improved significantly compared with Q1 2023.

GTV declined 3% year-on-year to €3,164 million in H1 2023 from €3,260 million in H1 2022, mainly driven by foreign currency exchange movements. GTV showed positive trends shifting from a year-on-year decline of minus 6% in Q1 2023 to year-on-year growth of 1% in Q2 2023.

UK and Ireland revenue declined by 4% to €629 million in H1 2023 from €658 million in H1 2022, driven by the decline in GTV and targeted promotional campaigns offering reduced Delivery fees.

Adjusted EBITDA increased to €56 million in H1 2023 from minus €18 million in H1 2022 and the Adjusted EBITDA Margin improved to 1.8% in H1 2023 from minus 0.5% in H1 2022 driven by enhanced Delivery efficiency through Order pooling and simplification of our Delivery operation. As a result, the Delivery cost per Order notably reduced and additional efficiencies were achieved through streamlining our operations.

Our grocery business continued to expand at a rapid pace. At the end of H1 2023, we had over 5,000 grocery Partners on the platform, a significant increase from the 1,000 grocery Partners we had on the platform at the end of H1 2022. This offers significant opportunities to grow our future revenues and further optimise our Delivery network by expanding our offering to our consumers.

3 Change at constant currency level for revenue is minus 16%

Southern Europe and ANZ made up 11% of the total Just Eat Takeaway.com Orders and 9% of the total GTV during the first six months of 2023, with Australia being the largest market in this segment.

During H1 2023, Orders for the Southern Europe and ANZ segment declined by 17%. This year-on-year decline can be attributed to the impact of the pandemic primarily in Q1 2022. In Q2 2023, we observed a return to pre-pandemic seasonal ordering patterns.

GTV experienced an 18% decrease to €1,130 million in H1 2023 from €1,373 million in H1 2022, primarily driven by lower Order volume and foreign currency exchange movements.

Southern Europe and ANZ revenue declined in line with GTV by 18% to €229 million in H1 2023 from €280 million in H1 2022.

Southern Europe and ANZ had an Adjusted EBITDA of minus €55 million in H1 2023 compared with minus €110 million in H1 2022 and the Adjusted EBITDA Margin improved to minus 4.9% in H1 2023 from minus 8.0% in H1 2022. This improvement in Adjusted EBITDA was mainly driven by structural actions taken to streamline operations, more efficient customer service driven by better technology, and more efficient Delivery. Notably, we delivered particularly encouraging Adjusted EBITDA improvements in Australia and New Zealand where the Adjusted EBITDA Margin improved to minus 2% in H1 2023 compared with minus 5% in H1 2022.

Head office and allocations

Head office costs relate mostly to non-allocated expenses and include all central operating expenses such as staff costs and expenses for global support teams such as Legal and Compliance, InfoSec Risk and Control, Finance, Internal Audit, Data Analytics, Human Resources and the Management Board.

Head office expenses were €100 million in H1 2023 compared with €127 million in H1 2022 and €94 million in H2 2022. Head office expenses increased by 6% compared with H2 2022, mainly due to inflation related cost adjustments.

Order-driven revenue	2,474	2,650
Ancillary revenue	114	131
Revenue	2,588	2,781

Order-driven revenue

Order-driven revenue consists of all revenue streams earned from Orders placed on Just Eat Takeaway.com's platforms. Order-driven revenue is earned from Partners and consumers and primarily includes commission fees, consumer fees, consumer Delivery fees charged on a per Order basis and Promoted Placement fees which are earned on a per Order basis.

Order-driven revenue decreased by 7% to €2,474 million in H1 2023 compared with €2,650 million in H1 2022, due to a 12% decrease in Orders partially offset by higher ATV and higher Promoted Placement revenue.

Ancillary revenue

Ancillary revenue consists of any other revenue streams which are not earned from Orders placed on Just Eat Takeaway.com's platforms. It primarily includes Promoted Placement fees which are not earned on a per Order basis, sale of merchandise and subscription fees.

Ancillary revenue decreased by 13% to €114 million in H1 2023 compared with €131 million in H1 2022. While Promoted Placement revenue remained stable on a year-on-year basis, there was a slight reduction in merchandise and subscription revenue.

Courier costs	(1,143)	(1,349)
Order processing costs	(263)	(286)
Order fulfilment costs	(1,406)	(1,635)

Courier costs, which include all salary and staff expenses of our employed couriers, decreased by 15% to €1,143 million in H1 2023 from €1,349 million in H1 2022. This decrease was driven by year-on-year reduction in Delivery Orders, Delivery network optimisation, pooling, and advancements in technology. These improvements resulted in lower courier costs per Order.

Order processing costs decreased by 8% to €263 million in H1 2023 from €286 million in H1 2022, primarily driven by the decrease in Orders partly offset by higher Order management costs.

Revenue	2,588	2,781

Revenue less Order fulfilment costs increased by 3% to €1,182 million in H1 2023 from €1,146 million in H1 2022. The increase is due to a higher ATV and lower costs per Order driven by higher Delivery efficiency, which more than offset the negative impact of wage inflation.

Staff costs	(614)	(649)

Staff costs decreased by 5% to €614 million in H1 2023 compared with €649 million in H1 2022. Our staff, excluding couriers, decreased to an average of 13,775 FTEs in H1 2023 from an average of 16,736 FTEs in the same period last year. This FTE decrease was largely due to Group restructuring activities and the hiring pause that was in place for the second half of 2022.

Share-based payments include the Long-Term Incentive Plan and the Short-Term Incentive Plan for the Management Board, as well as the various long and short-term share (option) plans for employees (as described in Note 7 to the Consolidated financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2022). Share-based payments decreased to €78 million in H1 2023 compared with €88 million in H1 2022, mainly driven by one-time retention shares awarded in H1 2022.

Marketing expenses	(299)	(414)

Marketing expenses

Marketing expenses can primarily be distinguished as relating to (i) performance marketing (or pay-per-click/pay-per-Order) which directly generates traffic and Orders, such as search engine marketing, app marketing and affiliate marketing (rewarding third parties for referrals to our platforms) and (ii) brand marketing, such as television, online media, and outdoor advertising (billboards).

Marketing expenses decreased by 28% to €299 million in H1 2023 compared with €414 million in H1 2022, primarily due to efficiencies in brand marketing spend as well as a reduction in performance marketing spend due to lower Order volumes and costs per Order spend optimisation.

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses decreased by 22% to €245 million in H1 2023, compared with €314 million in H1 2022, mainly driven by measures in relation to staff related expenses and professional fees. These measures allowed us to effectively manage costs while maintaining a focus on operational efficiency, ultimately contributing to a reduction in overall expenditures.

Depreciation, amortisation and impairments

Depreciation and amortisation expenses increased to €306 million in H1 2023 compared with €272 million in H1 2022 due to amortisation of intangible assets, mainly consumer lists and development costs. No impairments of goodwill or intangible assets were recognised in H1 2023. During the same period last year and following the identification of impairment indicators, an impairment loss was recognised in the amount of €2,977 million for the cash-generating unit United States.

Share of results of associates

Our share of results of associates in H1 2023 was nil compared with €39 million in H1 2022, explained by the sale of our investment in iFood in H2 2022.

Income tax benefit

In H1 2023, the income tax benefit was €59 million, compared with €64 million income tax benefit in H1 2022. The income tax benefit is composed of €14 million current tax expense (H1 2022: €18 million expense) and €73 million deferred tax benefit (H1 2022: €82 million deferred tax benefit). The deferred tax benefit is mainly related to the temporary differences from the amortisation of intangible assets and the recognition of available tax losses carried forward. 

Loss for the period

As a result of the factors described above, Just Eat Takeaway.com realised a net loss after tax of €258 million in H1 2023.

Non-current assets, mainly consisting of goodwill and other intangible assets, decreased to €9,522 million as at 30 June 2023, compared with €9,742 million as at 31 December 2022. The movement is mainly due to the amortisation of intangible assets, partly offset by foreign currency exchange movements.

Current assets include the iFood contingent consideration, which is accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. Our assessment of the fair value as at 30 June 2023 remained materially consistent since 31 December 2022 at €5 million. The final value of the contingent consideration will be established based on year-on-year changes to the forward GTV and gross profit multiples of a peer set of predominantly developing market food delivery peers based on volume weighted average share prices during August and September 2022 and 2023.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to €1,799 million as at 30 June 2023, from €2,020 million as at 31 December 2022. This decrease was primarily driven by cash outflows from operating activities of €41 million, capital expenditures of €67 million and cash outflows in relation to the share buyback programme of €71 million that was initiated in H1 2023.

Shareholders' equity decreased to €7,665 million as at 30 June 2023, from €7,903 million as at 31 December 2022. This decrease was mainly driven by accumulated losses over the period as well as the share buyback programme resulting in treasury shares in shareholders' equity.

The solvency ratio, defined as total equity divided by total assets, was 65% as at 30 June 2023, up from 64% as at 31 December 2022, driven mainly by accumulated losses over the period.

Non-current liabilities decreased to €2,744 million as at 30 June 2023, from €3,085 million as at 31 December 2022, mainly driven by the reclassification of the 2019 convertible bonds to current liabilities as they are maturing within one year.

Condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period ended 30 June

	Six-month period ended 30 June
€ millions	2023	2022
Net cash used in operating activities	(41)	(266)
Net cash used in investing activities	(67)	(146)
Net cash used in financing activities	(114)	(37)
Net cash and cash equivalents used	(222)	(449)
Effects of exchange rate changes on cash held in foreign currencies	0	11
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	(222)	(438)

Net cash used in operating activities reduced to €41 million in H1 2023 compared with net cash used in operating activities of €266 million in H1 2022. The decrease was mainly driven by improvements in net loss for the period and a net working capital increase.

Net cash used in investing activities reduced to €67 million in H1 2023 compared with net cash used in investing activities of €146 million in H1 2022, mainly driven by reduced investment in property and equipment and, following the sale of our associate iFood in H2 2022, no funding provided in 2023 compared with €28 million in H1 2022.

Net cash used in financing activities increased to €114 million in H1 2023, compared with €37 million used in H1 2022. The increase was mainly due to the cash outflows in relation to the share buyback programme.

Annual General Meeting

On 17 May 2023, the Company's Annual General Meeting of shareholders took place. All resolutions were adopted by a large majority vote.

Events after the reporting period

There have been no events after the balance sheet date that require disclosure.

Outlook

·      GTV growth to be in a range of -4% to +2% year-on-year in 2023, with a return to growth skewed towards the end of the year, given the lower absolute Order level of H2 2022 versus H1 2022.

·      Management expects to deliver a positive Adjusted EBITDA of approximately €275 million in 2023. This guidance includes additional investments in food and non-food adjacencies, wage costs inflation and reflects an uncertain macro-economic environment.

·      Management expects free cash flow before working capital to turn positive in mid-2024.

·      The long-term objectives for Just Eat Takeaway.com remain unchanged.

·      Management, together with its advisers, continues to actively explore the partial or full sale of Grubhub. There can be no certainty that any such strategic actions will be agreed or what the timing of such agreements will be. Further announcements will be made as and when appropriate.

Principal risks

In conducting our business, we face risks that may interfere with the achievement of our business objectives. It is important to understand the nature of these risks. We assess our risks through in-depth interviews with members of the Management Board and senior management as well as numerous risk workshops and interviews throughout the organisation during the year. Just Eat Takeaway.com identified 12 principal risks aligned with its Vision and Strategy which are categorised into five broad categories as set out in the chapter "Risk Management" of our 2022 Annual Report. Any of these risks and events or circumstances described therein may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation. The risks outlined in the 2022 Annual Report continue to apply in 2023. These risks are not the only ones that we face. Some risks may not yet be known to us and certain risks that we do not currently believe to be material could become material in the future.

In control statement by the Management Board

With reference to Applicable Laws, the Management Board states, to the best of its knowledge, that:

·      The condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2023 give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position, and profit or loss of the Company and the undertakings included in the consolidation taken as a whole;

·      The interim management report includes a true and fair review of the information required pursuant to Article 5:25d paragraph 8 and 9 of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act and regulations 4.2.7 and 4.2.8 of the UK Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Accounting Principles

Just Eat Takeaway.com's half year 2023 results have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' and should be read in conjunction with the Company's last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022 and any public announcements made by the Company during the interim reporting period. The accounting policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022, except for the estimation of the income tax expense which is recognised based on management's estimate of the weighted average effective annual income tax rate expected for the full year.

2    Basis of preparation

Statement of compliance

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' and should be read in conjunction with the Company's last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022 and any public announcements made by the Company during the interim reporting period. They do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ('IFRS'). However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in Just Eat Takeaway.com's financial position and performance since the last consolidated annual financial statements. Just Eat Takeaway.com's financial position and performance are not significantly affected by seasonality or cyclicality.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorised for issue by the Management Board of the Company (the 'Management Board') and the Supervisory Board of the Company on 26 July 2023.

Amendments to 2022 presentation

During 2022, Just Eat Takeaway.com amended the presentation of its statement of cash flows to separately show the movements in other non-current assets and provisions. Comparative amounts in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022 were reclassified for consistency as presented below.

€ millions	2022	Reclassification	2022 (amended)
Other non-cash adjustments	(64)	68	4
Changes in:
Other non-current assets	-	(28)	(28)
Provisions	-	(40)	(40)

Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies applied in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Company's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022, except for the estimation of the income tax expense which is recognised based on management's estimate of the weighted average effective annual income tax rate expected for the full year. The new and amended standards effective from 1 January 2023 do not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Standards issued but not yet effective

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been issued but are not yet effective for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 and have not been early adopted. None of the accounting standards issued but not yet effective are expected to have a significant impact on the Company's condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Management Board is required to make judgements that have a significant impact on the amounts recognised and to make estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The areas that involve critical accounting judgement and key sources of estimation uncertainty are the same as those described in the Company's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022.

3    Events that occurred during the current period

Deregistration under the United States Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 ('Exchange Act')

Following the delisting of its American Depositary Receipts from the Nasdaq Global Select Market as per 14 March 2022, the Company voluntarily filed for deregistration of its ordinary shares under the Exchange Act on 14 March 2023, which deregistration became effective on 12 June 2023. The Company's main considerations for the deregistration were the low trading volumes of the Company's securities in the United States as well as the costs associated not considered to be offset by the benefits from having its securities registered under the Exchange Act. The Company's ADSs continue to be quoted and traded on the OTC Markets via a sponsored Level I Programme.

Share buyback

On 19 April 2023, the Company initiated a share buyback programme to repurchase ordinary shares in the amount of up to €150 million and for a number of shares not exceeding the authority granted by the General Meeting on 4 May 2022, being 10% of the issued shares. The repurchased shares will be used to cover the Company's obligations under the various share-based payment plans or will be cancelled to reduce the issued share capital. The programme is expected to complete no later than December 2023. Reference is made to Note 6 Equity for additional details.

4    Operating segments

Operating segments are reported on a regional level consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Management Board, which is considered to be Just Eat Takeaway.com's Chief Operating Decision Maker. The Management Board assesses the financial performance of operating segments mainly based on revenues and Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Just Eat Takeaway.com's operating income / loss for the period adjusted for depreciation, amortisation, impairments, share-based payments, acquisition- and integration related costs and other items not directly related to underlying operating performance ("Other items"). These Other items include, amongst others, restructuring costs, certain legal and regulatory costs, and certain insurance income and costs. Adjusted EBITDA is not a defined performance measure in IFRS. Just Eat Takeaway.com's definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable with similarly titled performance measures and disclosures by other companies.

Just Eat Takeaway.com evolved the structure of its organisation to a matrix organisation in the second half of 2022 to place more responsibility at the regional and country levels. The segment Adjusted EBITDA allocations therefore changed and mainly resulted in a shift between Head office costs and individual segments, as well as changes in cost recharges and allocations between segments.

The following is an analysis of Just Eat Takeaway.com's revenue and results by reportable segment and the non-allocated expenses included in head office as a reconciliation to the consolidated figures.

Depreciation, amortisation and impairments						(3,249)
Integration related costs						(12)
Other items						13
Loss before income tax						(3,541)

5    Income taxes

Income tax expense is recognised at an amount determined by multiplying the profit (loss) before tax for the interim reporting period by management's best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year per jurisdiction, adjusted for the tax effect of certain items recognised in full in the interim period. As such, the effective tax rate ('ETR') in the interim financial statements may differ from management's estimate of the ETR for the annual financial statements.

The Company's consolidated ETR for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 was 19% (six-month period ended 30 June 2022: 2%). The income tax benefit amounted to €59 million for the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 (six-month period ended 30 June 2022: €64 million income tax benefit). This relates mainly to the temporary differences from the amortisation of intangible assets and the recognition of available tax losses carried forward.

8    Provisions and Contingent Liabilities

Legal proceedings

Except for the matters disclosed below, there are no governmental, legal or arbitration proceedings (including any such proceedings which are pending or threatened of which Just Eat Takeaway.com is aware), during a period covering at least the previous twelve months which may have, or have had in the recent past, significant effects on the Just Eat Takeaway.com's financial position or results.

Gig Economy Matters

The classification of couriers as independent contractors has been, and continues to be, the subject of challenge in certain markets.

Although Just Eat Takeaway.com continues to challenge claimants in such cases, we recognise the difficulty in assessing the possible outcomes of these ongoing investigations. If Just Eat Takeaway.com considers the chance of economic outflow probable, a provision has been recognised. For the majority of these matters, the chance of economic outflow is not considered probable at this stage.

Civil Litigation

There were no significant developments during the six-month period ended 30 June 2023 in relation to the provisions and contingent liabilities disclosed in our Annual Report 2022.

9    Events after the reporting period

There have been no events after the financial reporting date that require disclosure.
