Delivery Hero secures $1.4B in loans to fuel global expansion until 2032
Delivery Hero SE has secured $1.4 billion in term loans, strengthening its financial position for long-term growth. The company worked with legal advisors White & Case to finalise the deal. These funds will support its expanding global operations until the loans mature in 2032.
The term loans were placed in 2022, giving Delivery Hero a financial boost to scale its business. Since then, the company has seen significant growth, with its gross merchandise value (GMV) rising to over €50 billion by 2025. This expansion has solidified its market share in key regions, particularly the Middle East, North Africa (MENA), and Asia-Pacific.
In international markets, Delivery Hero now outperforms competitors like DoorDash. However, it still lags behind Uber Eats in the U.S., where the latter maintains a stronger foothold. The loans, set to mature in June 2032, provide a decade-long runway for further development.
The $1.4 billion financing reflects Delivery Hero's strategy to dominate global food delivery markets. With a growing GMV and an extended repayment timeline, the company aims to maintain its competitive edge. The deal underscores its focus on regions where it already leads, while continuing to challenge rivals in other areas.
