Germany-based online food delivery company Delivery Hero has posted total segment revenues of €2.5bn ($2.76bn) in the first quarter of this year (Q1 2023), a 12% rise from the same period a year ago.

The company’s gross merchandise value (GMV) increased by 16%, driven by growth across all markets except Asia.

GMV in Asia fell 7% while revenues dropped to €924.1m ($1019.79) from €928m ($1024.09m) due to the pandemic’s impact.

Revenues generated in Europe stood at €351.5m ($387.90m) in Q1 2023, up from €320.5m ($353.69m) in the prior year.

In its 2023 outlook, the company confirmed its earlier adjusted EBITDA/GMV margin projection of more than 0.5% for the full year and more than 1% for the second half.

It also projects GMV to grow by 5%-7% and total segment revenue to increase by almost 10% on a constant currency basis.
