Jumia Technologies AG has announced plans to close its food delivery business, Jumia Food. Jumia will continue to operate its core physical goods business and its JumiaPay business in all of its countries of operation. Following a strategic review of Jumia Food, the Company determined that its food delivery business is not suitable to the current operating environment and macroeconomic conditions in its market, and will close its food delivery operations in all markets by the end of December 2023.

This decision is in line with the Company's strategy to optimize its capital and resource allocation and to continue its path to profitability. The food delivery business represents approximately 11% of Jumia's GMV for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and has not been profitable since inception of the business. Jumia currently operates its food delivery business in Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and Ivory Coast.

A number of employees currently dedicated to the food delivery business will transition to the continuing physical goods business in these countries. This strategic shift demonstrates Jumia's strategic commitment to profitable growth and dedication to its core physical goods business in its 11 countries of operation.
