Just Salad Chooses Grubhub As Exclusive Third-Party Delivery Marketplace & Loyalty Partner

Grubhub’s technology solutions such as direct POS integration, loyalty/CRM functionality and new diner targeting help drive restaurant growth

CHICAGO, April 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub, the nation’s leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery marketplace, today announced an exclusive partnership with Just Salad, the fast casual concept committed to cultivating healthier lifestyles at an affordable price. Grubhub will be the place diners can exclusively order delivery of their favorite wraps, avocado toast, and warm bowls from more than 30 owned-and-operated Just Salad locations in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Illinois.

“Delivery is a strategically important and natural extension of our business. In looking across all platforms, we recognize Grubhub is the most restaurant-centric partner, and they’ve already helped us drive considerable order volume on the marketplace and in our Just Salad app,” stated Stephen Swartz, Just Salad’s director of marketing. “Adding in the technology and agency capabilities gained by Grubhub’s acquisition of LevelUp, we knew this was the best choice to further grow our business.”

In addition to exclusivity on the Grubhub marketplace, Just Salad has deepened its partnership to leverage Grubhub and LevelUp’s POS/ordering integration capabilities. By working with the company’s ordering engine and POS system, Par Brink, orders can be sent directly to a location’s kitchen, which helps manage kitchen workload, keeps menus up-to-date across channels, and increases order accuracy. Additionally, Just Salad is now able to combine order data across their LevelUp-powered app and the Grubhub marketplace into one Enterprise Dashboard, allowing their team to analyze and dive into data surrounding performance and ordering trends.

“We’re excited to work even more closely with such a beloved brand like Just Salad. Partnering on an exclusive basis is an incredible opportunity for both teams to truly optimize the process across orders,” said Seth Priebatsch, head of enterprise restaurants at Grubhub. “By building out the most robust partnership possible, we’re able to hyper-personalize guest experiences, increase Just Salad’s understanding of guest behavior, and most importantly, deliver more healthy options to more hungry people.”

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 benefits to, and financial performance of, Grubhub including its 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 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, 2018 and our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended Sep. 30, 2018, which are on file with the SEC and are available on the Investor Relations section of our website at https://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, 2018, 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, restructuring and certain legal costs, income taxes, net interest expense, 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, restructuring and certain legal costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, the impact of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“U.S. Tax Act”) 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, restructuring and certain legal costs, 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 Completes Acquisition of Tapingo

Closes acquisition of additional OrderUp food delivery markets

CHICAGO, Nov. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub (NYSE: GRUB), the nation’s leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery marketplace, today closed its previously announced acquisition of Tapingo, a leading platform for campus food ordering. Under terms of the agreement, Grubhub paid $150 million in cash for Tapingo, funded through cash on hand and Grubhub’s existing credit facility.

Tapingo’s technology, currently used by more than 150 colleges and universities nationwide, directly integrates mobile ordering into campus meal plans and point-of-sale systems, making it easier than ever for students to eat on campus. Tapingo powers tens of thousands of order-ahead pickup transactions per day and serves more than half a million active diners at on-campus cafes, restaurants, and cashier-less stores.

Grubhub’s restaurant marketplace and delivery operations complement the Tapingo platform and will enable campus dining programs to expand delivery capabilities and access more diners both on and off campus, while providing students with greater convenience and more restaurant options.

OrderUp
Additionally, on Oct. 30, Grubhub closed its previously announced acquisition of 11 franchisee-owned OrderUp food delivery markets, which add to the 27 OrderUp markets Grubhub acquired in 2017. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Financial Impact
Grubhub expects the Tapingo and OrderUp transactions combined will contribute revenue of approximately $3 million to fourth quarter results and negatively impact EBITDA by less than $1 million.

Grubhub Reports Record Third Quarter Results

Grubhub generates 52% revenue growth in the third quarter

CHICAGO, Oct. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub Inc. (NYSE: GRUB), the nation’s leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery marketplace, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2018. The Company posted revenues of $247 million, which is a 52% year-over-year increase from $163 million in the third quarter of 2017. Gross Food Sales grew 40% year-over-year to $1.2 billion, up from $867 million in the year ago period.

“We added more organic new diners this quarter than ever before, helping drive the highest organic DAG growth we’ve seen in a year and a half. Better restaurant selection, a more intelligent diner platform, and more strategic marketing continue to bring more high quality diners to Grubhub,” said Matt Maloney, Grubhub’s founder and chief executive officer. “With solid traction in new diner acquisition over multiple quarters and increased coverage across the country from our delivery expansion, we are in prime position to invest incrementally in advertising and accelerate online ordering adoption.”

Third Quarter 2018 Highlights
The following results reflect the financial performance and key operating metrics of our business for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017.

Third Quarter Financial Highlights

Revenues: $247.2 million, a 52% year-over-year increase from $163.1 million in the third quarter of 2017.
Net Income: $22.7 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, a 75% year-over-year increase from $13.0 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2017.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA: $60.1 million, a 41% year-over-year increase from $42.7 million in the third quarter of 2017.
Non-GAAP Net Income: $42.2 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, a 72% year-over-year increase from $24.5 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2017.

Active Diners were 16.4 million, a 67% year-over-year increase from 9.8 million Active Diners in the third quarter of 2017.

“We are excited to invest behind the diner and order momentum of the last several quarters.

The 200 total delivery markets we will launch in 2018 plus accelerated diner growth put us in a great position to capture takeout orders as they move online.”

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted to exclude acquisition, restructuring and certain legal costs, income taxes, interest income and expense, depreciation and amortization and 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.

Grubhub Launches “Donate the Change” Feature, Creating New Opportunity For Diners to Support Those in Need

No Kid Hungry comes on board as inaugural partner to help end childhood hunger

CHICAGO, Oct. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub, the nation’s leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery marketplace, today announced the launch of Donate the Change, a new feature that allows diners to support organizations that help those in need across the nation. To kick off the launch, Grubhub is partnering with No Kid Hungry, a national campaign to end childhood hunger in America.

“Grubhub’s mission is to connect hungry diners with great local restaurants, but we realize not everyone has that luxury, so we looked for ways we can use our platform to help those in need,” said Matt Maloney, chief executive officer of Grubhub. “The introduction of Donate the Change and this partnership with No Kid Hungry allows us to empower our more than 15 million active diners to make a small contribution every time they order to make a huge impact on the life of a hungry child.”

Starting today, diners ordering online or through the Grubhub and Seamless apps will now be able to round up their order total to the nearest dollar, showing how one person’s spare change, when combined with others, can make a big impact. A staggering 12.5 million kids live with hunger in America. All donations made will allow No Kid Hungry to connect kids in need to effective food programs such as school breakfast and afterschool meals. Studies show that when kids get the food they need, they perform better in school, have fewer health problems, and are more likely to graduate from high school.

“One in six children lives with the threat of hunger, which can lead to many long-term problems in a child’s life. We’re grateful to be partnering with Grubhub and its diners to help tackle one of the biggest issues impacting children today,” said Tom Nelson, President and CEO of Share Our Strength, the organization behind the No Kid Hungry campaign. “Every dollar donated helps us provide up to 10 meals to children in need. By simply rounding up and donating their change, Grubhub’s diners will ensure thousands and thousands of children get the healthy meals they need to succeed.”

As part of this effort, Donate the Change will partner with a variety of organizations throughout 2019, aligning with causes that support the communities and groups Grubhub serves. For more information and to join thousands of diners in our Donate the Change initiative, please visit https://www.grubhub.com/eat/donate or opt-in online or through the Grubhub and Seamless apps as prompted at checkout.

Grubhub Announces Acquisition of Tapingo

Tapingo will provide increased exposure to college student market and strategic brand partnerships

CHICAGO and TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub (NYSE: GRUB), the nation’s leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery marketplace, today announced it has entered into an agreement to acquire Tapingo, a leading platform for campus food ordering.

With over 150 college campus partners, Tapingo enables tens of thousands of order-ahead transactions per day for more than half a million active diners at on-campus cafes, restaurants, and cashier-less stores. The combination of Tapingo’s network with Grubhub’s restaurant marketplace and delivery capabilities will bring greater convenience to students and help campus restaurants capitalize on pickup and delivery orders.

Tapingo’s U.S.- and Israel-based teams have built a technology platform custom designed for campus use, with direct integration into college meal plans and point-of-sale (POS) systems, ensuring seamless order-taking and accurate, up-to-the-minute transparency on wait times for diners. The Tapingo platform also streamlines operations and increases in-store efficiency for campus restaurant partners—including Taco Bell, Chipotle, Chick-fil-A, Panda Express and Jamba Juice—and powers partnerships with Aramark and Sodexo, the leading providers of food services and facilities management nationwide.

“We are excited to add Tapingo, a company that shares our vision of bringing greater convenience to diners and improving the restaurant ordering and pickup experience through technology,” said Matt Maloney, Grubhub’s founder and chief executive officer. “We value the college student population, many of whom we hope become life-long Grubhub diners with their first order. Tapingo makes students’ lives easier, allows merchants to efficiently capitalize on online ordering, and enables colleges and universities to give students the technology they’ve come to expect.”

“Joining Grubhub is an important step forward for Tapingo.
