Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Alternative Performance Measures

This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC rules and alternative performance measures as defined by European rules. Just Eat Takeaway.com uses these non-GAAP financial measures and alternative performance measures, respectively, as key performance measures because it believes they facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences primarily caused by variations in capital structures, tax positions, the impact of acquisitions and restructuring, the impact of depreciation and amortization expense on its fixed assets and the impact of stock-based compensation expense. These non-GAAP financial measures and alternative performance measures are not measurements of Just Eat Takeaway's financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS and should be read in conjunction with Just Eat Takeaway.com's financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. Just Eat Takeaway.com has provided a reconciliation of those measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures in Just Eat Takeaway.com's 2020 Annual Report.
