Deliveroo Ireland profits jump 37% to €2.89m

It was the "increased demand, the change in ordering behaviour and sales mix" which were reflected on the jump, directors said.

The directors also attributed the gross profit rise 7% to €30.15m to "the scalable unit economics of the business model".

Instead of cooking the meals, diners in Ireland have leaned harder on delivery apps.

The same shift is visible in demand for meal-kit deliveries that promise to cut dinnertime stress.

In figures that are more than double the €607,451 Deliveroo Ireland earned in 2024, the pre-tax figure also got a lift from finance income of €1.2m.

DoorDash's $3.9bn all-cash acquisition of Deliveroo's global business completed in October 2025 preceded the jump.

Deliveroo Ltd, which is Deliveroo Ireland's UK parent, this year paid interim dividends of £275m to its sole shareholder.

Last year, staff numbers directly employed by the company fell from 27 to 23, during a period when staff costs fell from €2.06m to €1.89m.

Stressing that efficiency remains the focus, directors said that "the development and growth of existing activities and improving key customer value proposition pillars will continue to be the focus of attention in the coming year, with an increased focus on supporting sustainable profitability and cash generation…"

Over the same period, cash funds held by the company fell from €52.09m to €47.43m.
