Grubhub Adds Linda Johnson Rice and David Habiger to its Board of Directors

CHICAGO, Oct. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub Inc. (NYSE: GRUB), the nation’s leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery platform, today announced two additions to its Board of Directors:   Linda Johnson Rice, Chairman of Johnson Publishing Company and Chairman Emeritus of EBONY Media Holdings, and David Habiger, a successful entrepreneur, former public company CEO and experienced corporate Director.

“We are excited to welcome Linda and David to the Board of Directors. Grubhub shareholders will benefit tremendously from their incredible breadth and depth of experience as the company continues to grow at increasingly large scale,” said Matt Maloney, CEO of Grubhub. “The unique skill set of each brings a unique and much-valued combination of public company operating knowledge and aggressive entrepreneurial spirit to the team.”

Linda Johnson Rice is Chairman of Johnson Publishing Company (JPC) and Chairman Emeritus of EBONY Media Holdings, and serves on the Board of Directors of Omnicom Group. At JPC, Rice demonstrated her innovative thinking and ability to drive growth by increasing circulation through new types of outreach, extending the cosmetics business internationally and moving into the development of TV specials and documentaries. Rice is also a not-for-profit organization leader, and has served on the corporate boards of a number of major companies.

David Habiger was the interim CEO of Textura Corporation and a member of the company’s Board of Directors, prior to its recent sale to Oracle, and is a venture partner with Pritzker Group. Prior to these roles, Habiger held the CEO position at NDS Group Ltd. — prior to its sale to Cisco Systems — and at Sonic Solutions. He demonstrated his skill in leading companies through all stages of development by guiding Sonic through an IPO and to its leadership position as a leading cloud-based provider of premium movies and TV shows. He also serves on the boards of a number of technology companies.

Rice and Habiger are joining Grubhub’s Board of Directors concurrent with the departure of Justin Sadrian, Managing Director at Warburg Pincus, who served on the board of Grubhub and its predecessor, Seamless, for more than five years, since Aramark spun Seamless out as a separate entity.

“We would like to thank Justin for his many years of service to Grubhub as a director and for his wisdom and guidance, which was invaluable as we navigated our merger, IPO and our first two and a half years as a public company.  During his tenure, we’ve transformed the takeout industry, growing from less than $10 million to more than $450 million in annual revenues,” said Maloney.

Seamless Unveils Turnkey Delivery Service in Manhattan

New York City’s Hometown Food Ordering Platform Expands Service to Deliver for the Greatest Variety of Local Favorites with Incredible Speed

NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Seamless, the iconic New York City food ordering and delivery platform, has launched its turnkey delivery service in Manhattan. Diners are benefiting from the ability of the vast, reliable driver network to deliver food from local favorites and top-rated Manhattan restaurants in under 30 minutes. Local restaurants are reaping the benefits of reaching more Seamless diners – the largest network of hungry diners in Manhattan. By outsourcing their restaurants’ delivery needs to a reliable service with such a captive audience, restaurants are experiencing a significant increase in order volume and gross food sales.In fact, L.E.S Kitchen, known for delicious comfort fare, has seen a 35 percent increase in orders over the past two months.

“Working with Seamless’ delivery service has been a game changer,” said Henry Wong, Owner of L.E.S Kitchen, “The service has been incredibly convenient to use and has made a significant impact on our order volume. It’s been exciting to share our menu of mouthwatering sandwiches with more Seamless diners.”

The new turnkey service allows Seamless to deliver for some of Manhattan’s hottest restaurants, offering diners great options at a lower overall cost.

“Seamless was started in Manhattan and has become synonymous with how New York eats,” said Stan Chia, Senior Vice President of Operations at Seamless and Grubhub. “As New York City’s hometown service, we wanted to deliver even more local favorites to our diners while providing quick delivery times and transparent pricing. We’re proud we’ve been able to do that for our diners while providing even more value to our restaurant partners.”

Seamless’ delivery service is working with a number of local favorites, including:

“We’re passionate about making our famous, one-of-a-kind menu items that keep customers from New York and beyond coming back for more,” said Ivan Orkin, Chef/Owner of Ivan Ramen. “I’ve been working with my team to perfect our takeout to assure an experience as close to dining in the restaurant as possible.  With Seamless, we’re able to tap into their convenient delivery service to reach and obtain even more customers, so we can focus on what matters most, noodles!”

The Seamless online and mobile ordering platform connects New York City diners with more than 11,000 restaurants in the Greater New York area, with thousands of pickup and delivery options in Manhattan.

  • Transparency: We empower diners with the ability to customize and control each order to meet their dietary needs.
  • Service: We take care of our diners; every order is backed by our diner-focused, 24/7 Care team.

Use of Forward Looking Statements:
This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding our management’s future expectations, beliefs, intentions, goals, strategies, plans and prospects, including the expected financial performance of Grubhub following its recent acquisitions and investment in delivery. 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 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 26, 2016, which are 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, 2016, which should be read in conjunction with these financial results. Please also note that forward-looking statements represent our 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.

Grubhub Expands Turnkey Delivery Service to Columbus

Industry Leader to Provide Delivery Capabilities to Restaurants Without In-House Delivery Staff

CHICAGO, May 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub, the nation’s leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery platform, announced today that it has expanded its turnkey delivery service to the Columbus area. Through this service, restaurants in Columbus can now expand their customer base and grow their order volume by utilizing Grubhub’s on-the-ground network of delivery drivers. With more restaurants offering their menus for delivery, Grubhub is able to bring a broader set of restaurant choices to diners.

Grubhub’s online ordering platform has been available in Columbus since 2011 and connects Columbus area diners with more than 150 local restaurants. With the addition of Grubhub’s turnkey delivery service, Columbus diners now have a growing number of new delivery options to choose from. Local favorites using this delivery service include:

“Columbus is a vibrant city with a rich cultural and culinary landscape that continues to grow every day,” said Stan Chia, SVP of Operations, Grubhub. “We’re thrilled to help our local restaurants partners add to that growth with the technology and services to reach more customers through delivery and bring even more excellent local choices to our diners.”

Grubhub’s national scale lowers the overall cost of delivery to diners, which in turn, helps encourage diner loyalty. And when Grubhub handles the delivery, restaurants can focus on making great food. The efficiency of Grubhub’s delivery service, combined with great food, creates a win-win for local restaurants and diners.

“We love providing our customers with delicious food that keeps them coming back for more,” said Rodrigo Castro, Owner of Phamous Philly’s. “Grubhub’s technology makes it easy for new and existing customers to order our mouthwatering cheesesteaks from the comfort of their home or office.”

Diners benefit from:

  • Choice: We connect diners with the nation’s largest restaurant network, which includes more than 44,000 of the best restaurants across the country.
  • No Mark-Ups: We do not pad menu prices. Diners can rest assured that they are paying the same prices as if they ordered directly from the restaurant and all fees are clearly presented.
  • Low Fees: We offer industry low delivery fees nationwide, versus most other services.
  • Transparency: We empower diners with the ability to customize and control each order to meet their dietary needs.
  • Service: We take care of our diners; every order is backed by our diner-focused, 24/7 Care team.

Restaurants benefit from:

  • More Orders: We drive significant order volume. Restaurants receive an average of 30 percent more takeout orders during their first year on the platform.
  • Broadest Reach: We connect restaurants with our industry-leading network of more than 6.9 million diners.
  • High ROI: We enable restaurants to participate on our platform with low risk and no up-front cost.
  • Efficiency: We drive efficiency for restaurant partners; ordering via Grubhub is 50 percent more efficient than ordering via phone.
  • Competitive Commission Rates: Our industry-leading scale allows us to offer a cost-effective commission rate. Almost all restaurants using our delivery service pay a combined marketing + delivery commission that is less than 30%.

Grubhub’s turnkey delivery service launched in June of 2014 and has since expanded to more than 50 markets across the country. Recently, Grubhub announced relationships with a number of national chain restaurants, including Boston Market, Johnny Rocket’s, California Pizza Kitchen, Veggie Grill and Panda Express.

Use of Forward Looking Statements:
This press release contains forward-looking statements regarding our management’s future expectations, beliefs, intentions, goals, strategies, plans and prospects, including the expected financial performance of Grubhub following its recent acquisitions and investment in delivery. 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 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 26, 2016, which are on file with the SEC and are available on the Investor Relations section of our website at http://investors.grubhub.com/. Our financial results should be read in conjunction with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 that was filed on May 9, 2016. Please also note that forward-looking statements represent our 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 is a financial measure that is 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. 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 is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.
