Posted at 16/2/2020 15:08 by sponges Apparently Uber wanted to bid for je but pulled out after regulator started the investigation into Amazon/Deliveroo etc - looks like we have missed out possibly |
Posted at 03/12/2019 12:32 by sponges Cat Rock Management want £9.25 a share to back takeover (source Telegraph) |
Posted at 01/12/2019 15:14 by mac15 There was good shorting opportunity after the initial bid when takeaway.com shares collapsed in price. Neither side look like pulling out. Current bids are too low so next week or so will sort out who really wants JE. |
Posted at 31/7/2019 12:16 by pleasing please forgive me if i misunderstood but if each JE share is being exchanged for 0.09744 shares of AMS:TKWY which is currently trading at ~€80 that implies a value of roughly 714p based on current exchange rates. No doubt I'm missing something, but what is it? |
Posted at 30/7/2019 12:24 by pleasing This currently trading at 770, the valuation implied by the current TKWY value is 722. I'm used to seeing stocks pending acquisition trading below or close to the acquisition price, why is this one attracting a premium? |
Posted at 15/7/2019 12:16 by cryptotrade I don't get the competition people. It's ok a large company pays less tax, undercut it's rivals, destroys businesses through competition, destroy high street, sure. But then they want to but Deliveroo. What difference does that make. Honestly. They stop two supermarkets merging to protect themselves while the wolves circle. If Amazon but Morrisons, that's ok. What's a bunch of idiots. Protect individual brands. JE is peanuts. They'll not buy a share they may just buy JE ..... |
Posted at 17/5/2019 08:58 by cryptotrade Dave,Yes saw thisAmazon is close to buying a stake in Deliveroo. Sky News reports the tech titan is in talks to invest hundreds of millions of pounds in the London-based food delivery app as part of a £450m fundraising effort. Here's what people are saying.I don't think it's the end of the world though. Deliveroo needs to invest more and more. Just shows how far JE is. Amazon closed its venture. JE won't go bust, they will certisin be a TO target . With Amazon investing in Deliveroo it either means Deliveroo with the extra cash will buy JE , doubt it, or Uber, knowing what Amazon are doing, will buy up JE. Whatever the share price fall, it's OK, it's a buy when it's bottomed out for TO activity. |
Posted at 17/5/2019 08:14 by davewilk Amazon are investing big in Deliveroo. Hense share price fall ! |
Posted at 11/5/2019 17:40 by montynj As one poster on LSE bb neatly put it:"Have accumulated some bigdish, basically same kind of business model, a tech platform that connects restaurants with diners. And the restaurant offers discounts when times are quiet to fill tables. Dish takes a small fee and free to diner to use.IPOd last year, dropped while they worked on tech, originally just launched in Bournemouth and now in 6 cities. 3 more to add this month, then likely London, then probably nationwide. In discussions with chains too. Share price about 3.4p, mostly bought in at low 2s and should be upward trajectory all the way as clear roadmap that they are delivering against. CEO used to work at TripAdvisor and chairman largest holder so has lot of skin in the game.Not trying to ramp as I'm in for the long term, but if you like JE and wish you'd been on it from the start then Dish may be of interest to you. A commentator the other day suggested dish may be the kind of company JE could acquire one day to compliment its business as takeaway market gets saturated. 8m market cap vs 4bn+ for just eat so it's just a baby in terms of life cycle."Anyway, sorry to intrude on the JE board, just thought may be of interest to one or two of you due to similar business model as similar principle and great little high potential company. Good luck to all that hold JE, hope it eventually lives up to some of the racier broker ratings that have been out there. |
Posted at 17/12/2018 17:26 by yopf Cat Rock Capital Sends Letter to Just Eat Board of Directors Urging Actions to Address Shareholder Losses and Realize Company’s Growth PotentialLack of Management Accountability Identified as Key Driver of Poor Share Price Performance Board Urged to Set Appropriate Financial Targets and Link Management Remuneration Sale of iFood Minority Stake Could Fund Return of Over 15% of Market Cap to Shareholders December 17, 2018 12:05 AM Eastern Standard Time GREENWICH, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cat Rock Capital Management LP (together with its affiliates, “Cat Rock Capital”), a long-term oriented investment firm and beneficial owner of approximately 13.0 million shares of the common stock of Just Eat plc (“Just Eat” or the “Company” Alex Captain, Founder and Managing Partner, Cat Rock Capital Management LP, commented: “Cat Rock Capital is a long-term supporter and shareholder of Just Eat, which we believe is a high-quality business with significant growth potential. However, shareholder frustration with management’s lack of accountability for delivering on this potential continues to damage Just Eat’s value and performance. As we have discussed with the Board, we believe the first step toward addressing this problem is clear: it must urgently lay out a three-year plan commensurate with Just Eat’s potential and link management’s remuneration directly to the achievement of that plan, aligning their interests with those of shareholders. “To ensure management is focused on growing Just Eat’s core business, we also encourage the Board to consider strategic alternatives for non-core assets, which are a distraction and an inefficient use of shareholder capital. In particular, Just Eat’s minority stake in iFood, if sold at a fair price, could generate as much as £650 million, representing over 15% of Just Eat’s market capitalisation potentially available to return to shareholders. “Just Eat’s shareholders have been very patient, but online food delivery is a rapidly evolving sector. Further delays in planning and decision-making will only continue to destroy shareholder value. For this reason, we strongly urge the Board to publicly announce its three-year financial targets and the associated executive remuneration package within the next 30 days. This is absolutely necessary for the management team to begin 2019 focused on execution and delivering value for all shareholders.” The full text of Cat Rock's letter is included below and is also available at the following website: JustEatMustDeliver.c A LETTER TO THE JUST EAT BOARD OF DIRECTORS 17 December 2018 Board of Directors Just Eat plc Fleet Place House 2 Fleet Place London EC4M 7RF United Kingdom Attn: Michael Evans, Chairman of the Board of Directors Peter Plumb, Chief Executive Officer Mike, Peter, and Other Members of the Board: As you know from our prior conversations and correspondence, Cat Rock Capital is a long-term oriented investment firm based in the United States. We currently own approximately 13.0 million shares of Just Eat plc (“Just Eat” or the “Company” We are long-term shareholders and believe that Just Eat is a high-quality business with significant growth potential. We support management’s strategy of building its own delivery capabilities, and we think that Just Eat has a structural competitive advantage over new entrants in the space because of the network effects of its clear market leadership position. Despite the quality of Just Eat’s business and the magnitude of its growth opportunity, Just Eat’s stock trades at the lowest valuation among comparable online food delivery companies globally(1). Its shares have declined almost 30% in 2018 and now trade near the same absolute price as two years ago, despite approximately 100% revenue growth over the same period. Most recently, Just Eat was removed from the FTSE 100 index(2). We believe the significant underperformance of Just Eat’s stock reflects shareholder frustration with management’s lack of accountability for delivering on the Company’s potential for profitable growth. This frustration has been compounded by the very concerning changes made to Just Eat’s remuneration plan for 2018, which now incentivizes revenue growth without accounting for profitability or capital efficiency. We believe that revenue growth targets are deeply flawed and may inadvertently incentivize significant value destruction in the context of the Company’s delivery investments. We think the first step toward addressing Just Eat’s underperformance is clear: the Company’s Board needs to lay out a three-year plan commensurate with Just Eat’s potential, and management’s remuneration should be directly linked to the achievement of that plan. For over a year, we have engaged constructively and in good faith with Just Eat management and the Board on the points in this letter, but to little avail. We are writing an open letter to the Board today to facilitate a transparent and urgent discussion about addressing the three key issues that we believe have caused Just Eat to become the worst-performing public equity in online food delivery globally. 1) Targets We believe Just Eat’s lack of long-term, publicly disclosed targets for organic order growth and EBITDA per order has drastically depressed its valuation relative to peers and leaves management without a framework for making appropriate investment decisions during a critical time in the Company’s development. Consequently, it is imperative that Just Eat publicly commits to an achievable but appropriate three-year financial plan. Given the trajectory of the business and the experience of global peers who have also invested in delivery, we believe the plan should include at least 20% organic order growth (vs. 27% in 1H18) and EBITDA per order at or above £0.79 (vs. £0.79 in 1H18) (3). We are confident that organic order growth of 20% per year over the next three years is achievable and appropriate. The Company is already growing orders 27% organically, even before the expected benefits from its delivery investments(3). Moreover, Canada is growing orders much faster than the rest of the business (189% in 1H18) and now represents 12% of total orders in 1H18 vs. only 5% of total orders in 1H17(4). We are equally convinced that Just Eat can generate EBITDA per order of £0.79 over the next three years. The business has a clear roadmap for understanding the costs and benefits of investing in delivery. Both GrubHub in the United States and Takeaway.com in the Netherlands have leveraged strong marketplace positions to enter the delivery market while maintaining or growing EBITDA per order(5). GrubHub and Takeaway.com were able to enter delivery without meaningfully sacrificing EBITDA per order because increases in marketplace EBITDA per order offset the dilution caused by their respective delivery investments. Just Eat similarly benefits from a large, profitable, and growing marketplace business that will enable it to invest in delivery while maintaining its current levels of EBITDA per order. Moreover, Just Eat has already made investments over the past year that have reduced EBITDA per order from £0.98 in 2H17 to £0.79 in 1H18(6). We believe these investments should have a return in subsequent periods, which provides further room for investment while at least maintaining 1H18 EBITDA per order. As long-term investors, we support investments that cement the long-term competitiveness of the business even if they temporarily depress profits. This is exactly why we support management’s strategy to move into the delivery market. The financial targets we have proposed give management significant latitude to invest in delivery and other initiatives while also creating accountability for delivering strong financial performance. 2) Accountability It is long past time for the Board to hold management accountable for achieving these financial goals – and begin to reverse the current erosion in shareholder value. Crucially, the Board must align management’s remuneration to the achievement of a comprehensive three-year financial plan. Since Peter Plumb became CEO in September of 2017, the Company’s targets have been remarkably undemanding and have created little accountability for management to execute. Compounding this problem, the Board has set executive remuneration based on flawed metrics like revenue growth that give management bonuses for taking actions that may actually destroy shareholder value. These unambitious targets and flawed incentive schemes have significantly damaged the value of the business and shareholder returns. This clear misalignment with shareholders must stop. Just Eat’s initial 2018 revenue guidance of £660mm – £700mm illustrates the Board and management’s tendency to set goals that are unjustifiably low and too easily achieved. The mid-point of this guidance essentially assumed zero revenue growth over the Company’s 4Q17 run-rate when including its earlier acquisition of Hungryhouse. Incredibly, this goal was set and communicated immediately after the Company delivered 30% organic revenue growth in 2017(7). While management has avoided providing medium-term guidance for orders and EBITDA per order, it has been quite comfortable providing medium-term guidance that lowers its accountability. For example, management has been clear that shareholders should no longer expect the marketplace business to continue growing revenue faster than orders or to continue expanding margins(8). Egregiously, management provided no associated guidance on how much additional order growth shareholders should expect them to deliver for making these financial sacrifices. The financial targets we outlined above would provide much-needed accountability and reassure all shareholders that management is acting solely in their best interests. 3) Strategic Alternatives While Just Eat’s core business is strong, there is much work needed to realize its growth potential. Just Eat owns significant non-core assets that are a distraction to management and that represent an inefficient allocation of shareholders’ capital. We urge the Board to initiate an orderly process to sell its interest in the iFood business in Brazil, and potentially Just Eat’s other non-European assets, at fair prices. We say this not because we have any desire for short-term gains to the detriment of the business’s long-term growth, but because we think it would be a sensible step to increase management’s focus and allow Just Eat to return capital to shareholders. Several recent analyst reports estimate iFood’s value at an average of approximately £650mm(9), representing over 15% of the Company’s current market capitalization. We believe that there would likely be strong interest in Just Eat’s non-core stake in iFood. Just Eat has no operating control of iFood with only 33% ownership, but Just Eat may be required to make additional capital contributions to maintain its ownership stake(10). To be clear, we do not support the sale of iFood if potential buyers cannot deliver a fair price. Conclusion and Next Steps Peter Plumb has now been Chief Executive Officer well over a year, and shareholders are still waiting for Just Eat to announce appropriate financial goals and for the Board to hold management accountable with a properly aligned remuneration package. For this reason, we strongly urge the Board to publicly announce its three-year financial targets and the associated executive remuneration package within the next 30 days. This is absolutely necessary so that the management team can begin 2019 focused on execution and delivering value for all shareholders. It is imperative that the Board hold management accountable. If management fails to commit to, and deliver on, the three-year financial plan and targets, we strongly believe the Board should begin to consider strategic alternatives for the business. Online food delivery is a rapidly evolving sector. We are concerned that the slow pace of planning and decision-making at Just Eat will not only continue to destroy shareholder value but will also result in competitors eroding Just Eat’s leading market position. Shareholders will only further suffer (and competitors benefit) from a drawn-out planning process leading to a weighty presentation at the full year results in March. Moreover, the Company should provide shareholders with the specifics of its three-year financial plan more than 90 days in advance of the Annual General Meeting, which is scheduled to be held on 1st May 2019. We remain excited about the prospects for Just Eat, which we firmly believe is a quality business with significant growth prospects. Realistic financial targets, appropriate incentives, and savvy strategic actions will allow Just Eat to realize its full potential. We welcome continued dialogue with the Board and other long-term shareholders(11).

(4) 1H17 Canada orders and order growth reported in Just Eat 2017 interim results dated 26th July 2017. (5) GrubHub grew EBITDA per order from $1.18 in 2014 before launching delivery to $1.69 in 1H18 when delivery had become more than 20% of total orders. Takeaway.com experienced a minor decline in EBITDA per order (€1.66 in FY16 vs. €1.61 in 1H18), but the allocated public-company costs associated with the Company’s IPO contributed to the decline – adjusted for these costs, Takeaway.com delivered roughly flat EBITDA per order despite not charging any delivery fees to consumers.

(8) At the Company’s 2018 Capital Markets Day, management said that it expects the “convergence of order and revenue growth” in the marketplace business, which compares to historical performance where revenue growth exceeded order growth. Moreover, management told shareholders that “over the next few years, you should expect to see marketing costs and tech costs particularly rise” in the marketplace, which should cause the business to plateau at “current margins”. Marketplace revenue growth that is in-line with order growth and flat marketplace margins run contrary to what we have witnessed at every other online food delivery marketplace business globally.
