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:

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.

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

  • Bloomington, IN
  • Columbus, IN
  • Frankfort, IN
  • Greensburg, IN

“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.

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.

No child should go hungry in America. But 1 in 6 kids will face hunger this year. No Kid Hungry is ending childhood hunger through effective programs that provide kids with the food they need. This is a problem we know how to solve. No Kid Hungry is a campaign of Share Our Strength, an organization working to end hunger and poverty. Join us at NoKidHungry.org.

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. Grubhub is the industry leader in food delivery, allowing us to provide even greater value to our campus partners and student diners with access to Grubhub’s technology and delivery expertise,” said Daniel Almog, Tapingo’s co-founder and chief executive officer. “By joining forces with Grubhub’s network of over 85,000 restaurant partners that offer online delivery and pickup, we’ll continue to serve our loyal diners long after they graduate from college, which has always been our aspiration.”

Grubhub has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Tapingo for approximately $150 million, subject to standard closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2018. Grubhub will discuss the financial impact of the expected acquisition on its third quarter earnings call. Kirkland & Ellis LLP and Fischer Behar Chen Well Orion & Co served as legal counsel to Grubhub in connection with the acquisition. Herzog, Fox & Neeman and Silicon Legal Strategy served as legal counsel and JMP Securities LLC served as a financial advisor to Tapingo.

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 acquisition of Eat24 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 June 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.

“Expanding our delivery capabilities throughout the U.S. is incredibly important and an effort we continue to make significant progress on,” stated Stan Chia, chief operating officer, Grubhub. “A key priority is empowering our local restaurant partners with more opportunities to reach new audiences, and with every market we launch, we’re able to connect even more diners with the widest selection of choice.”

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.

Grubhub Partners with Jack in the Box® to Bring Food Directly to Diners’ Homes

Partnership Includes Door-to-Door Delivery and Point of Sale Integration

CHICAGO and SAN DIEGO, May 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub (NYSE: GRUB), the nation’s leading online and mobile food-ordering company, today announced it is partnering with Jack in the Box® to provide delivery for hundreds of locations across the country. Grubhub’s leading network of 15 million active diners will now be able to enjoy popular Jack in the Box menu items such as the delicious Buttery Jack® burger, seasoned curly or regular fries and the fan favorite two tacos, simply by ordering from Grubhub’s online and mobile platforms.

Additionally, the two companies are working together to incorporate Grubhub’s groundbreaking point-of-sale (POS) integration into Jack in the Box’s in-house system, which allows restaurant operators to manage all of their orders, both in-house and delivery, from one device. Grubhub’s POS integration raises the bar for in-house restaurant technology efficiency by eliminating 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 excited to add Jack in the Box to our growing list of chain partners, allowing Grubhub to continue to offer our diners the broadest and best set of restaurants,” said Stan Chia, chief operating officer, Grubhub. “Diners will benefit from having their favorite Jack in the Box menu items, Jack’s Spicy Chicken® sandwich and curly fries, delivered to their doorsteps, and we’re happy to make delivery easier for specific locations by integrating directly into their own point-of-sale systems.”

“We are thrilled to partner with Grubhub for marketplace originated delivery and expand upon our budding roster of delivery partners,” said Iwona Alter, Chief Marketing Officer at Jack in the Box. “We look forward to continuing to deliver convenient food experiences to Jack in the Box fans while granting them even more access to some of their favorite late-night and classic Jack menu items.”

Online ordering and delivery from Jack in the Box via Grubhub is now available at hundreds of locations in over 20 markets, including Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Dallas, Phoenix, Denver, St. Louis and Las Vegas. To kick off the partnership, the companies will offer free Jack in the Box delivery, with minimum purchase, from all available stores, May 10-16, 2018. Grubhub plans to expand to hundreds more Jack in the Box locations throughout 2018.
