CHICAGO, Feb. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — GrubHub Inc. (NYSE: GRUB), the leading online and mobile food-ordering company, today announced financial results for the quarter and year-ended December 31, 2014. The Company also announced the completed acquisition of DiningIn and an agreement to acquire Restaurants on the Run, two of the leading restaurant delivery services in the U.S.
“We ended the year with strong growth momentum as we capitalized on the seasonally favorable conditions of the fourth quarter,” said Matt Maloney, CEO. “We sent more than 200,000 orders a day to our restaurant partners during the quarter while surpassing 5 million active diners, resulting in record revenues and adjusted EBITDA. GrubHub continues to be the clear platform of choice for restaurants that want to grow their businesses profitably and for diners looking for simplicity, choice and control when ordering takeout.”
Acquisitions
The Company has completed the acquisition of DiningIn and signed a definitive agreement to acquire Restaurants on the Run, subject to certain closing conditions. With the completion of these acquisitions, GrubHub will be executing deliveries for nearly 3,000 restaurants across the U.S., including in Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle.
GrubHub has been conducting its own delivery tests for the past year and believes that owning the delivery experience provides a number of key benefits to its diners and restaurant partners, including:
- An improved diner experience due to GrubHub’s additional visibility into each order;
- An increased number of dining choices by bringing delivery services to restaurants that do not operate such services themselves; and
- Lower overall delivery costs due to the benefits of scale and aggregation
“We are excited to start 2015 with these acquisitions, the completion of which will help us expand our leading position in online ordering and also make GrubHub a leader in restaurant delivery for independent restaurants,” noted Maloney. “DiningIn and Restaurants on the Run are ideal partners for GrubHub because of the breadth and depth of their restaurant networks and the more than 45 years of combined experience they have operating successful restaurant delivery services.”

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 completion of the acquisition of Restaurants on the Run, the expected benefits to GrubHub from the acquisition of DiningIn and the potential acquisition of Restaurants on the Run, and the expected financial performance of GrubHub following such acquisitions. 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 Prospectus filed on September 5, 2014 and our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K that will be filed for the year ended December 31, 2014, 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 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 merger and restructuring costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure because we believe it facilitates 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.
See “Schedule of Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation – Pro Forma” below for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA.
NON-GAAP PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
On August 8, 2013, GrubHub Inc. acquired all of the equity interests of each of Seamless North America, LLC, Seamless Holdings and GrubHub Holdings (the “Merger”).
