DoorDash Acquires Deliveroo: A Game-Changer in global Food Delivery Market

Deliveroo's takeover by DoorDash is confirmed for a whopping €3.55 billion deal in the UK market.

In a major shakeup of the global food delivery market, US-based DoorDash has agreed to acquire UK rival Deliveroo for a whopping £2.9 billion (€3.55 billion). This deal cements DoorDash's position, catapulting it into new heights as it expands its footprint in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

Breaking Down the Deal

  • Value Proposition: DoorDash will shell out 180 pence ($2.40) for each Deliveroo share, a 29% premium over the closing price on 24 April - the day before the offer was announced.
  • Geographical Impact: With this acquisition, DoorDash will now serve customers in over 40 markets worldwide, thanks to the addition of nine new European markets where Deliveroo currently operates.
  • Financial Implications: The acquisition comes as part of DoorDash's mission to strengthen its stance in local commerce across the globe, particularly in competitive markets like the UK, where Deliveroo faced stiff competition from players like Just Eat and Uber Eats.

The Advisers in the game

  • Legal Representatives: Latham & Watkins and White & Case are advising DoorDash and Deliveroo respectively, with Ed Barnett, Doug Abernethy, Guy Potel, and Di Yu leading the legal teams.

Conditions and Timeframe

  • Closing Date: The deal is expected to close in Q4 2025, subject to routine closing conditions.
  • Enterprise Value: The acquisition values Deliveroo at an enterprise value of approximately £2.4 billion.

Strategic Intentions

  • Market Dominance: DoorDash intends to capitalize on Deliveroo's presence in European markets to bolster its global footprint and edge out competition.
  • Scaling Advantages: The combined power of the two firms promises improved operational efficiency and enhanced market competitiveness.

The acquisition is a testament to DoorDash's ambitious expansion strategy, forging ahead with impunity and eyes set on global domination in the food delivery arena.
