LONDON (Alliance News) - Just Eat PLC Monday said it remains confident about its full-year results after the strong momentum it reported at the half year continued through the third quarter.
The online and mobile takeaway food ordering platform said total orders in the three months to September 30 rose 56% on the year, and were up 51% on a like-for-like basis which excludes the consolidation of the orders from its French business from July.
"We are in an excellent position as we enter the important winter period and remain confident for the full year," Chief Executive David Buttress said in a statement.
The company said the growth in ordering was partly driven by better weather conditions for takeaways. The summer of 2013 was hot in the UK, and takeaway ordering was weak as a result, it said.
