Highlights

Business continues to perform strongly and above guidance. Highly focused strategy solving digital challenges for our Restaurant Partners is reaping rewards

2023 ARR, Net Revenue, EBITDA and GMV all performing above latest guidance released in November. Strong performance in Q4 2023 with December ARR of DKK 296m, growing 40% compared to December 2022 ARR under continued challenged market conditions

Full year 2023 EBITDA of DKK 25.6m compared to full year 2022 EBITDA loss of DKK (0.9)m – an improvement of DKK 26.5m

2024 guidance significantly raised driven by relentless focus on delivering value to our Restaurant Partners, market leadership focus, increased economies of scale resulting from OrderYOYO’s consolidation strategy and a strict focus on cost management. December 2024 ARR guidance raised to DKK 315-325m. Full year 2024 Net Revenue guidance raised to DKK 275-285m

With a full year EBITDA margin for 2023 of 10% and a H2 2023 EBITDA margin of 12% the Path to Profitability strategy implemented during 2022 and 2023 is now showing results. 2024 EBITDA guidance is therefore significantly increased to DKK 33-38m – up from DKK 23-28m; an increase of approximately 40% (based on the middle of the guidance interval) corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 11-13%

In June 2023 we realised the first month where our profitability strategy showed a positive Cash EBITDA1). This development has continued into H2 with the effect that Cash EBITDA for the full year of 2023 was positive at DKK 0.2m. A very important milestone for OrderYOYO as the organic operation is now self-sustaining and independent of external capital. Guidance for Cash EBITDA 2024 released for the first time expected in the range of DKK 5-10m

OrderYOYO consolidation strategy and Path to Profitability Strategy initiated in 2022 is showing results ahead of time

During the period 2018 to 2021 OrderYOYO’s main focus was on GMV and ARR growth. In these years OrderYOYO quadrupled ARR. Coming out of Covid OrderYOYO took the strategic decision to implement a more balanced growth strategy with equal focus on profitability. Two main components were expected to drive profitability – operational leverage; i.e., the ability to do more with the same amount of resources, and an active M&A strategy.

OrderYOYO has now been EBITDA profitable since July 2022 and Cash EBITDA profitable since June 2023 while maintaining a revenue growth significantly higher than the underlying market growth. These vital strategic milestones are driven by relentless focus on delivering value to our Restaurant Partners, market leadership focus, strong commitment to profitable growth, increased economies of scale resulting from OrderYOYO’s consolidation strategy and a strict focus on cost management.

As European market leader, we keep seeing increased consolidation opportunities in our markets. Our consolidation strategy focuses on two types of acquisition targets:

1. Local market leaders in European countries where OrderYOYO is currently not present to expand our European market leading position, and
2. Local participants in the markets where OrderYOYO is already market leader to drive economies of scale and increased profitability for the Group

It is our goal to continue to be EBITDA profitable and our raised guidance for 2024 EBITDA of DKK 33-38m corresponds to an EBITDA margin guidance of 11-13% - an increase from earlier EBITDA margin guidance of 9-11%.

As we continue our growth, both organically and through consolidation, economies of scale and cost control will increase EBITDA. In addition, acquisitions of local participants in markets where we are already market leader will provide the opportunity to increase profitability through cost savings and efficiency gains.

We are confident that our strategy will result in a continued expansion of our EBITDA margin in the coming years and our long-term EBITDA goal is +25%.
