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:
- Local market leaders in European countries where OrderYOYO is currently not present to expand our European market leading position, and
- Local participants in the markets where OrderYOYO is already market leader to drive economies of scale and increased profitability for the Group
EBITDA guidance was significantly raised at the Q4 2023 current trading announcement (stock announcement number 69). The Q1 2024 EBITDA results shows that increase in profitability is happening at a faster and stronger pace. Guidance for 2024 EBITDA is thus raised to DKK 43-48m corresponding to an EBITDA margin guidance of 15-17% - an increase from earlier EBITDA margin guidance of 12-14%. Q1 2024 EBITDA margin was realised at 15%.
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 target is +25%.
In addition to increased profitability, we continue to see strong growth in ARR, GMV and Net Revenue all growing at +30% in Q1 2024. For the full year 2024 growth for ARR, GMV and Net Revenue is thus increased to the 10-15%-level from currently below 10%-level.
Conference call
The Q1 2024 current trading will be presented at an online conference call on 22 April 2024 at 11:00am CET.
