<\/strong>DFM-listed<\/strong> Talabat acquired 100% of Dubai-based on-demand grocery delivery <\/strong>marketplace <\/strong>Instashop<\/a><\/strong> from its parent company Delivery Hero<\/strong>, according to a statement (pdf)<\/a> released on Thursday. Instashop will continue to operate as an independent brand, under Talabat\u2019s grocery and retail vertical. The sale and purchase agreement was first announced in September 2024 and is part of a wider restructuring push, according to the statement. <\/p>\n

The cash-based transaction was valued at USD 32 mn, which was financed by Talabat\u2019s <\/strong>internal reserves,<\/strong> with the amount reflecting Instashop\u2019s capital amount rather than its fair value, the statement reads. <\/p>\n

Good news for Talabat\u2019s public shareholders? <\/strong>The purchase price is a discount from the valuation price (USD 360 mn<\/a>) at which Delivery Hero bought Instashop back in 2020. This could be viewed favorably by the public shareholders of Talabat, which took a 20% stake to market in a USD 2 bn IPO in December 2024<\/a>. It\u2019s noteworthy that the valuation amount was paid by Delivery Hero through an initial payment of USD 270 mn, while the remaining amount was tied to Instashop\u2019s future performance through an earnout clause.<\/p>\n

Creating a platform company:<\/strong> This kind of restructuring model is typically aimed at achieving certain synergies within portfolio companies, making one of them (Talabat) a platform company in a bid to strengthen its market position and financial health. <\/p>\n

Potential synergies: <\/strong>While Talabat expects the transaction to result in operational and technology synergies across both businesses, there\u2019s no publicly available information about the potential cost and revenue synergies, if any. The statement mentioned that integration processes are already underway \u2014 which typically includes structural and cultural alignments. <\/p>\n

Cementing its market position:<\/strong> The transaction is expected to push Talabat\u2019s grocery and retail segment\u2019s gross merchandise value (GMV) beyond the USD 2.5 bn mark. Instashop\u2019s GMV rose 16% y-o-y to USD 631 mn last year \u2014 equivalent to 8% of talabat's total GMV of USD 7.4 bn in 2024<\/a> \u2014 with positive and improving EBITDA margins, according to the statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
