Delivery Hero unveils Herogen - Autonomous AI agent unlocks 130-person engineering output. * Herogen, an autonomous software delivery agent, has added the capacity of a 130-person virtual engineering department to Delivery Hero's workforce and its capacity is expanding rapidly. * With the roll-out across Delivery Hero's technology teams at 18% completion, Herogen is already responsible for handling 9% of all code change requests across the company. * Engineers can delegate their coding work to Herogen to be able to focus on the big picture and feature ideation, accelerating Delivery Hero's transition into a global Everyday App. Berlin, April 24, 2026 - Delivery Hero, the world's leading local delivery company, today unveiled Herogen, an advanced autonomous software delivery agent that was first introduced to the company's product and engineering teams in February. Built in-house on industry-leading Large Language Models (LLMs), Herogen delivers an annual coding output equivalent to 130 senior engineers already today, and its capacity is expanding rapidly. Autonomous Security and Quality: The "Council of Agents" While previous generations of AI coding assistants required constant manual oversight and revisions, Herogen operates autonomously. Delivery Hero's product and engineering teams assign tasks in natural language and Herogen then writes, tests, and iterates on the code, before submitting the result as a proposal. A "council of agents" - built on a number of leading LLMs from different providers - reviews the code from various perspectives before a human does a final check. Using multiple models reduces the chance that blind spots in any single model's training data slip through. Currently, Herogen demonstrates an 85% success rate, measured as the ratio between merged and rejected pull requests. The vast majority of tasks require zero or one interaction with the human in the loop, with built-in safeguards enabling intervention when needed. By autonomously merging over 100 code change requests per day, Herogen has effectively freed up an estimated 250,000 hours of manual coding annually. Although currently adopted by only 18% of the company's developers, Herogen is already responsible for 9% of all code change requests across Delivery Hero. The company plans to continue expanding Herogen's reach, with a goal of having it handle 20% of all code change requests by year's end. Benjamin Mann, Chief Technology Officer at Delivery Hero, said: As Delivery Hero build the 'Everyday App' for its customers, Herogen allows Delivery Hero to deliver much bigger output with the same elite team. It changes how its engineers spend their days, but it does not move them away from their craft. As the tool takes on mundane tasks and repetitive toil, its people regain the time to solve the hardest problems, to build strong systems on a global scale and find new ways to keep Delivery Hero in the lead. As the software engineering profession changes, Herogen enables engineers to have more impact in a shorter time than ever before. Rodrigue Schäfer, Vice President Platform at Delivery Hero, said: Herogen marks a fundamental shift in the interface between humans and machines, moving from complex programming languages to natural language. By describing intent rather than coping with syntax, its engineers are freed to focus on what they do best: creative exploration and complex problem solving. Reclaiming Human Creativity: From Coding to System Architecture Unlike traditional automation, which seeks to replace roles, Herogen is shifting the human-machine interface from programming language to natural language. This makes Herogen a tool for job evolution, not job elimination - it allows engineers to reach their goals faster, accelerating the pace of innovation and enabling Delivery Hero to reclaim human creativity without the constraints of computer code. The company's strategy focuses on elevating developers from programmers to software architects, mirroring the change in daily tasks that comes with reaching higher seniority as a developer.

Delivery Hero has successfully allocated a $1.4 billion senior secured Term Loan B facility, maturing in June 2032 with an annual interest rate of Term SOFR plus 500 basis points. The world's leading local delivery platform reduced the facility from an originally planned $1.5 billion due to heightened market volatility from geopolitical uncertainty. The company will use proceeds to repay convertible bonds due in April 2026 and repurchase bonds maturing in January 2027. Remaining funds will provide financial flexibility for general corporate purposes and potential future bond repurchases. J.P. Morgan served as lead left bookrunner, with Apollo, First Abu Dhabi Bank, Goldman Sachs, ING, Morgan Stanley, Standard Chartered Bank and UniCredit as joint bookrunners. The transaction demonstrates Delivery Hero's continued market access despite volatile credit market conditions.
Delivery Hero has secured a $1.5 billion credit line to address upcoming convertible bond maturities, sending shares up 1.2%. The German food delivery company plans to fully repay €56 million in bonds maturing in April and will offer to buy back €540 million in bonds due January 2027, subject to board approval and market conditions. The stock also benefited from news that OpenAI is scaling back ChatGPT shopping plans, easing AI disruption concerns across the tech sector. However, JPMorgan analyst Marcus Diebel warns the sector remains vulnerable to AI-related shocks and may require significant investment to stay competitive. The credit line will strengthen liquidity and support potential further buybacks, though specific allocation remains unconfirmed. The move represents proactive debt management amid higher interest rates.
German local delivery platform Delivery Hero reported adjusted EBITDA of over €900 million ($1.06 billion) for full-year 2025, up from €692.5 million the previous year. Total segment revenues increased to €14.8 billion from €12.8 billion, whilst gross merchandise value reached €49.2 billion, up from €48.75 billion. The company achieved a significant milestone as its integrated verticals reached full-year adjusted EBITDA break-even. Quick Commerce GMV surged over 30% during the year, driven by expansion of own-delivery, subscription models and its AdTech business. Fourth-quarter gross profit margin expanded to 8.3%, though GMV declined to €12.4 billion from €12.82 billion year-on-year. Delivery Hero expects Quick Commerce GMV to approach €10 billion in fiscal 2026.
