Delivery Hero reports Q2 revenue growth slightly above expectations

German online takeaway food company Delivery Hero reported a slightly better-than-expected revenue growth for the second quarter on Thursday, citing stronger growth across several markets and an accelerated roll-out of its own delivery network in South Korea.

Total segment revenue grew 27% on a like-for-like basis to 3.7 billion euros ($4.3 billion) in the second quarter, the company said, above analysts' estimate of 3.5 billion euros in a company-provided poll.
