The food delivery giant provided first-quarter Marketplace Gross Order Value (GOV) guidance of $31.0 billion to $31.8 billion, alongside adjusted EBITDA guidance of $675 million to $775 million.
Key business metrics revealed a 32% year-over-year increase in Total Orders to 903 million and a 39% rise in Marketplace GOV to $29.7 billion. The company also announced it has become the leading third-party marketplace in the U.S. by order volume across grocery and retail, adding major partners including Kroger in 2025 and early 2026.
