HelloFresh reported its third-quarter results in a release published by Deutsche Boerse at 07:00 CET. Constant-currency revenue declined 11.3 percent year over year to approximately EUR 1.4 billion. Lower new-customer acquisition during the back-to-school period weighed on both major businesses, with Meal Kits revenue down 13.1 percent and Ready-to-Eat revenue down 11.1 percent.

Profitability moved in the opposite direction. Constant-currency adjusted EBITDA increased 26.3 percent to EUR 50.9 million, supported by lower marketing expenses and efficiency measures. The Meal Kits adjusted EBITDA margin rose to 10.7 percent from 9.4 percent, while Ready-to-Eat reached adjusted EBITDA break-even after a loss of EUR 21.6 million a year earlier.
The group delivered 19.6 million orders, down 17.9 percent, but average order value increased 7.5 percent in constant currency to EUR 70.5. HelloFresh maintained its 2026 outlook for a 9 percent to 11 percent constant-currency revenue decline and adjusted EBITDA of EUR 350 million to EUR 370 million. Management said the focus remains on correcting temporary operational inefficiencies before increasing customer-acquisition spending.
