Just Eat Takeaway posts growth in 2024 core profit

(Reuters) - Europe's biggest meal delivery firm Just Eat Takeaway.com on Monday reported a rise in its full-year core profit driven by an improvement in the key UK and Ireland markets, mainly due to higher cost per order and marketing.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) rose to 460 million euros ($484 million) in 2024 from 339 million a year earlier, Just Eat said.
