Delivery business Deliveroo reported a strong financial performance in the first half of 2025, with revenue increasing by 8% to £1.05bn and adjusted EBITDA going up by 46% to £96m.

Additionally, the company’s orders grew by 8% to 147m, and the gross transaction value (GTV) increased by 10% in the UK and Ireland.

Will Shu, founder and CEO of Deliveroo, said: “The first half of this year was very positive. Our long-term focus on improving the CVP (Customer Value Proposition) is paying off. Consumer engagement is encouraging, with order frequency and retention continuing to improve across all cohorts.

“Today, both growth and profitability are accelerating. We are delivering on our mission to change the way people shop and eat and to bring the neighbourhood to people’s doors. I’m proud of where we are and all that we have achieved. We helped to build an entire sector and have redefined it multiple times over.

However, the firm reported a loss of £19.2m from a £1.3m profit in the year prior, due to expenses related to its upcoming acquisition by US-based platform DoorDash. The deal is expected to be completed in Q4 of 2025.

The tax-adjusted profits excluding the acquisition-related expenses were £31.8m.

Deliveroo lowered its future outlook and projects GTV to experience a high single-digit percentage range increase, while adjusted EBITDA is expected to reach the £170-190m range.
