Acquisition of vertical market leader Kingfood

Today April 17, OrderYOYO has signed an agreement to acquire Irish and UK based vertical market leader Kingfood.

Founded in 2017 in Dublin, Kingfood has built a strong market leading position within the market for online ordering software for the Asian cuisine takeaway vertical in Ireland and UK. Serving more than 500 Restaurant Partners generating more than DKK 150m in gross merchandise value (“GMV”) (March 2023 annualized). Kingfood will add more than DKK 10m to OrderYOYO annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) and will contribute to further profitability.

Kingfood shares the same vision of liberating restaurants as OrderYOYO and the two companies have comparable business models. A strong match that will reinforce OrderYOYO’s market leading position in UK and Ireland.

Kingfood will join the OrderYOYO organization and will be spearheading OrderYOYO’s activities within the Asian cuisine vertical. We at OrderYOYO are excited about Kingfood joining our Group and welcome our new Kingfood colleagues.

The acquisition is a strong milestone in the continued execution of OrderYOYO’s consolidation strategy, bringing the total number of liberated Restaurant Partners in OrderYOYO over 10,000.

OrderYOYO will acquire Kingfood in a transaction valuing Kingfood at DKK 13.4m, of which DKK 8.9m will be paid in newly issued OrderYOYO shares and the remaining DKK 4.5m will be paid in cash at closing. The newly issued shares correspond to less than 2% of OrderYOYO’s share capital

Kingfood founder Bing Chen will continue as an active consultant to OrderYOYO in the twelve months following closing to ensure the successful integration of Kingfood into the OrderYOYO group.

Closing is expected to occur on April 28, 2023.

OrderYOYO consolidation strategy and focus on profitability

As European market leader, we continue to see 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.

In H2 2022, OrderYOYO was EBITDA profitable in all months. A strategic milestone for us driven by market leadership focus, strong commitment to profitable growth, increased economies of scale resulting from the OrderYOYO/app smart merger and a strict focus on cost management. The monthly EBITDA profitability has continued into Q1 2023 securing an EBITDA of DKK 2.7m vs a loss of DKK (2.7)m in the same period last year.

It is our goal to continue growing our EBITDA profitability and our raised guidance for 2023 EBITDA of DKK 13-18m corresponds to an EBITDA margin guidance of 6-8%, an increase from earlier EBITDA margin guidance of 4-7%.

As we continue our growth, both organically and through acquisition, economies of scale and cost control will increase EBITDA further. 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.

Conference call

The Q1 2023 current trading and the acquisition of Kingfood will be presented at an online conference call on 21 April 2023 at 1300pm CET.
