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, 2019, which is on file with the SEC and is available on the Investor Relations section of our website at https://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 March 31, 2019, 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 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 “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.

1 Key Business Metrics are defined on page 29 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2019.

“In the fourth quarter, we announced meaningful incremental investments in marketing and the launch of new Grubhub Delivery markets. Both investments yielded great results, contributing to record active diners during the quarter and accelerated DAG growth, with exceptionally strong growth in our newer markets,” said Adam DeWitt, Grubhub’s president and chief financial officer. “These strategic investments have laid the ideal foundation for long-term profitable growth. We also expect them to help us generate meaningful operating leverage throughout 2019, with per order economics likely similar to the third quarter of 2018 as we exit this year.”

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.

The live webcast of the conference call will be available on the investor relations section of the Grubhub website at http://investors.grubhub.com/. Following completion of the call, a recording of the webcast will be available on the website.

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.

Third Quarter Key Business Metrics Highlights (excludes LevelUp impact in 2018)

  • Active Diners were 16.4 million, a 67% year-over-year increase from 9.8 million Active Diners in the third quarter of 2017.
  • Daily Average Grubs (DAGs) were 416,000, a 37% year-over-year increase from 304,500 DAGs in the third quarter of 2017.
  • Gross Food Sales were $1.2 billion, a 40% year-over-year increase from $867 million in the third quarter of 2017.

“We are excited to invest behind the diner and order momentum of the last several quarters.  We have significant opportunity to accelerate diner growth by broadening delivery coverage areas and increasing marketing spend,” said Adam DeWitt, Grubhub’s president and chief financial officer. “As a result, we are opportunistically investing an incremental $20–$30 million in marketing and delivery expansion in the fourth quarter, taking our total 2018 investment in growth to substantially more than $200 million.  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.”

Fourth Quarter 2018 Guidance
Based on information available as of Oct. 25, 2018, the Company is providing the following financial guidance for the fourth quarter of 2018. This guidance excludes any impact from the potential acquisitions of Tapingo and certain assets of OrderUp, which have not yet closed and are subject to standard closing conditions:

A replay of the webcast will be available at the same website.

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 following the acquisitions of Eat24 and LevelUp and its commercial agreements with Yelp and Yum! Brands. 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, which is on file with the SEC and is 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 September 30, 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, interest income and 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 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 Continues Delivery Expansion into New Markets Nationwide

With the latest expansion, Grubhub now providing delivery capabilities in more than 100 new markets this year

CHICAGO, Oct. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub, the nation’s leading online and mobile food-ordering company, today announced it has continued its expansion of delivery capabilities to dozens of new markets across 19 states nationwide. These new markets join the others announced earlier this year, totalling the expansion of delivery capabilities to more than 100 new markets in 2018.

Restaurants in these new markets can now provide delivery using Grubhub’s driver network, opening up new customer and revenue streams. Diners already using the Grubhub platform can now get increased menu choices in their neighborhood – whether it’s a calzone from Mama Roni’s in Fort Collins, CO, the banana pudding from Bonfire BBQ in Asheville, NC, or a classic favorite from a well-known brand.

With this latest expansion, Grubhub’s delivery capabilities are now available in markets including:

  • Mobile, AL
  • Montgomery, AL
  • Salinas, CA
  • Fort Collins, CO
  • The Villages, FL
  • Columbus, GA-AL
  • Savannah, GA
  • Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL
  • Anderson, IN
  • Bedford, IN
  • Bloomington, IN
  • Columbus, IN
  • Frankfort, IN
  • Greensburg, IN
  • New Castle, IN
  • Springfield, IL
  • Salisbury, MD-DE
  • Kalamazoo-Portage, MI
  • Columbia, MO
  • Asheville, NC
  • Burlington, NC
  • Grand Forks, ND-MN
  • Lincoln, NE
  • Myrtle Beach-Conway-North Myrtle Beach, SC-NC
  • Kingsport-Bristol-Bristol, TN-VA
  • Killeen-Temple, TX
  • Roanoke, VA
  • Green Bay, WI

“With each new delivery network market launch, we’re providing our diners with even more choices to get the food they love, when they want it,” said Stan Chia, chief operating officer, Grubhub. “Through this expansion of our driver network, we’re now helping restaurants in more than 100 new markets add a delivery option to connect with even more hungry diners, without any significant capital costs. We look forward to continuing to expand our delivery network nationwide and adding even more cities throughout 2018 and beyond.”

Grubhub has always connected diners with restaurants that supply their own drivers. With Grubhub delivery, restaurants without their own delivery capabilities now have the opportunity to leverage Grubhub’s large and growing network of drivers to expand their customer base and grow order volume. This also provides better restaurant choices and variety for Grubhub diners, as more restaurants can now offer their menus for delivery.
