  • Net Income: $14.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, a 15% year-over-year increase from $12.8 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2016.
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA: $42.2 million, a 12% year-over-year increase from $37.6 million in the second quarter of 2016.
  • Non-GAAP Net Income: $23.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, a 19% year-over-year increase from $19.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2016.

Use of Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding Grubhub, “the Company’s” or our management’s future expectations, beliefs, intentions, goals, strategies, plans and prospects, including the expected completion of each of the acquisitions of Foodler, Eat24 and OrderUp, the expected benefits to, and financial performance of, Grubhub following such acquisitions and its strategic partnerships with Yelp and Groupon. Such statements constitute “forward-looking statements”, which are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements involve substantial known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the matters set forth in the filings that we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including those set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2017, which is on file with the SEC and are available on the Investor Relations section of our website at http://investors.grubhub.com/. Additional information will be set forth in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that will be filed for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, which should be read in conjunction with these financial results. Please also note that forward-looking statements represent management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this press release. Except as required by law, we disclaim any intention to, and undertake no obligation to, publicly update these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to common stockholders are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted to exclude acquisition and restructuring costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to common stockholders exclude acquisition and restructuring costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense and other nonrecurring items as well as the income tax effects of these non-GAAP adjustments. We use these non-GAAP financial measures as key performance measures because we believe they facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences primarily caused by variations in capital structures, tax positions, the impact of acquisitions and restructuring, the impact of depreciation and amortization expense on our fixed assets and the impact of stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to common stockholders are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

See “Schedule of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation” below for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to common stockholders.

Grubhub and Oracle Hospitality Collaborate to Simplify Delivery and Online Order Management for Restaurants

New In-House Restaurant Technology Integration Makes Enterprise and Franchise Restaurant Management Easier, More Efficient

CHICAGO, May 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub, the nation’s leading takeout marketplace, today announced its integration with Oracle Hospitality, a leading provider of hardware, software, and services that allow food and beverage operators to deliver exceptional guest experiences while maximizing profitability. Restaurants using the unified system — designed with the needs of enterprise and franchise restaurants in mind — can now manage all of their orders, both in-house and takeout, from one device. Additionally, restaurants will be able to more efficiently staff, save time on menu updates, consolidate financials and free up space on the crowded delivery tablet counter.

Grubhub’s POS integration raises the bar for in-house restaurant technology efficiency and eliminates the need to use multiple tablets, offering restaurant employees a streamlined restaurant operations experience. This means more time for staff to focus on what matters most: serving up delicious food.

“We’re completely focused on creating technology that enhances the experience of our  restaurant partners,” said Stan Chia, Chief Operating Officer of Grubhub. “With restaurant feedback in mind, we’ve built integrations designed to create efficiencies for restaurateurs. These improvements will positively impact the bottom line of restaurateurs, by helping restaurant owners spend less time on management logistics and more time creating great food.”

Some key benefits include:

  • Improved staffing efficiencies – Streamlining restaurant management functions means restaurateurs can deliver more orders for negligible incremental labor. This leads to significant cost savings, particularly for high-volume restaurants
  • Smoother restaurant operations – Managing orders and inventory directly from the POS system allows staff to focus on serving up delicious food, rather than spending time tracking orders on multiple tablets
  • Save time on menu updates – Menus updated via the POS system will automatically update on Grubhub’s website, and on the mobile web and apps. This offers significant time savings to restaurant employees
  • Better business insights – Consolidated financial information makes balancing the books and managing tips easier and more efficient
  • Fewer devices in-house – Integrating into one in-house system allows restaurant owners to reduce the amount of hardware at each restaurant, clearing the crowded counter of delivery tablets to create a more functional space
  • Easily deploy delivery services across properties – With this new partnership restaurateurs can easily grow their revenues by leveraging delivery and pick up orders nationwide through Oracle Hospitality Simphony software

“Oracle Hospitality is excited to extend the functionality of our Simphony restaurant management software and MICROS POS by partnering with Grubhub,” said Mike Webster, senior vice president and general manager at Oracle Hospitality. “Together we’re enabling restaurants of all sizes to easily add and scale online ordering and delivery services across their entire footprint. With Simphony supporting Grubhub orders, restaurants can easily manage the demand for delivery and in-house orders on the kitchen.”

Point of sale integration is a top request from Grubhub’s restaurant partners and by partnering with Oracle Hospitality, the integration will make order management easier than ever for enterprise and chain restaurants.

Grubhub’s point of sale integration — a top request from its restaurant partners — is already creating efficiencies for much-loved restaurant chains including Protein Bar, along with local favorites like NYC’s Mile End Delicatessen and Chicago’s Bombay Wraps.

This saves us time each day, and ensures that our diners can choose from the most updated menu items, whether they’re eating in our restaurant or dining in the comfort of their own home.”

Please also note that forward-looking statements represent management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this press release. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to publicly update these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to common stockholders are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted to exclude acquisition and restructuring costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to common stockholders exclude acquisition and restructuring costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense and other nonrecurring items as well as the income tax effects of these non-GAAP adjustments. We use these non-GAAP financial measures as key performance measures because we believe they facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences primarily caused by variations in capital structures, tax positions, the impact of acquisitions and restructuring, the impact of depreciation and amortization expense on our fixed assets and the impact of stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to common stockholders are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

See “Schedule of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation” below for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per diluted share attributable to common stockholders.
