Grubhub generates 12% revenue growth in the first quarter

CHICAGO, May 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub Inc. (NYSE: GRUB), a leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery marketplace, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020 and also posted a letter to shareholders on its investor relations website. The Company reported revenues of $363 million, which is a 12% year-over-year increase from $324 million in the same period last year. Gross Food Sales grew 8% year-over-year to $1.6 billion, up from $1.5 billion in the same period last year.

“The restaurant industry is facing enormous challenges in light of the difficult, but necessary, steps taken to keep us safe as we fight COVID-19,” said Matt Maloney, Grubhub founder and CEO. “Grubhub is using nearly all of our profits in the second quarter to generate as many additional orders for our restaurant partners as possible. We hope that the darkest days are behind our restaurant partners and they can start focusing on the recovery.”

First Quarter 2020 Highlights
The following results reflect the financial performance and key operating metrics of our business for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019.

First Quarter Financial Highlights

  • Revenues: $363.0 million, a 12% year-over-year increase from $323.8 million in the first quarter of 2019.
  • Net Income (Loss): $(33.4) million, or $(0.36) per diluted share, a decrease from $6.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2019.
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA: $21.0 million, a 59% year-over-year decrease from $50.9 million in the first quarter of 2019.
  • Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss): $(37) thousand, or $(0.00) per diluted share, a decrease from $27.9 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2019.

First Quarter Key Business Metrics Highlights1

  • Active Diners: 23.9 million, a 24% year-over-year increase from 19.3 million Active Diners in the first quarter of 2019.
  • Daily Average Grubs (DAGs): 516,300, a 1% year-over-year decrease from 521,000 DAGs in the first quarter of 2019.

“COVID-19 has driven a significant uptick in new diners and orders from existing users as most restaurant dining rooms have been temporarily closed nationwide,” said Adam DeWitt, Grubhub president and CFO. “At current volume trends, we could be generating meaningful Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter. But as Matt highlighted, we believe the absolute best use of our cash is to support our restaurants, their employees, our drivers and the entire takeout ecosystem through this crisis, by generating as many orders as possible while funding extra safety measures for restaurants, drivers and diners. We hope that these additional sales help make a difference to our partners in this time of crisis.”

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, which are made in reliance on the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements involve substantial risks, known and unknown, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements including, but not limited to, achievement of the benefits of our planned additional investments, to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance and include, without limitation, statements relating to the potential impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business and operations. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “contemplates,” “could,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “should,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms. While forward-looking statements are our best prediction at the time they are made, you should not rely upon them. Forward-looking statements represent our management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of May 6, 2020, unless otherwise indicated, and there is no implication that the information contained in this press release is made subsequent to such date. For additional information concerning factors that could affect our financial results or cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the cautionary statements included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2020 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and any further disclosures we make in our Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) 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 (loss) 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 (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) 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 (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) 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 (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share attributable to common stockholders.

Grubhub Provides Business Update And Timing Of First Quarter 2020 Earnings Announcement

CHICAGO, April 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub Inc. (NYSE: GRUB), a leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery marketplace, today announced it will release first quarter 2020 earnings results after the market close on Wednesday, May 6, 2020, followed by a conference call to discuss its results on Thursday, May 7, 2020, at 8:00 a.m. CT.

The company also today provided a brief business update due to the extraordinary circumstances stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Business Update

During these unprecedented times, our priority is the health, safety and sustainability of our community – the drivers, restaurants and diners who make up our marketplace and our approximately 2,800 Grubhub employees. We have responded quickly to the crisis by launching a number of initiatives to support restaurants, drivers and diners; our focus is on driving as much business as we can to our restaurant partners while dining rooms remain closed.  And we will continue to support the local communities and restaurants that are struggling during this uncertain and difficult period.

For the first quarter of 2020, we expect our revenue and adjusted EBITDA to be slightly above the midpoints of the guidance we issued on February 5, 2020. While the business was trending at or above the high end of our guidance range for the first 10 weeks of the quarter, like most businesses, we experienced a swift change in customer behavior in the middle of March when the pandemic took hold across the country.

Initially, we observed a decrease in orders across our entire business as the news upended typical routines and there was considerable uncertainty about what day-to-day life would be like. In particular, our corporate business, which accounted for a mid-single digit percentage of our orders in the fourth quarter, was dramatically impacted in mid-March as virtually all of our corporate clients shifted to work-from-home models.

In New York City our consumer business was affected more than in other metro areas due to the severity of the COVID-19 impact in that market. We believe this is due to a number of factors, including New York City residents choosing to temporarily leave the city and/or cooking at home more often, as well as more local restaurants deciding to pause operations because of the temporary drop in demand. As a result of all of these factors, our first quarter DAGs ended up flattish compared to the first quarter of 2019.

Exiting the first quarter and in the beginning of the second quarter, we have seen trends improve significantly – so far in April our overall year-over-year DAG growth has been approximately 10%. In markets less affected by the outbreak, diner ordering has returned to, and in many cases exceeded, our pre-COVID-19 expectations. We are also seeing record numbers of new diners and new restaurants on the platform. In markets more affected, New York in particular, we have seen a stabilization in consumer orders, and even some improvement from the low points observed in March, but New York orders remain below pre-COVID volumes. We will discuss these dynamics in more detail during earnings, but we believe what we are now observing on both the positive and negative side, including corporate, is ephemeral, and we expect to see a return to more typical behavior when the COVID-19 impact on daily life wanes.

In this difficult and uncertain environment, we believe Grubhub has a clear responsibility to help restaurants and all working individuals in our ecosystem. We further believe the absolute best way we can support our industry is by driving as much demand as possible to local restaurants, which in turn has significant downstream benefits for restaurant workers, restaurant suppliers, our drivers and countless others in the value chain.

While we are confident we could generate meaningful profits in the second quarter that would keep us comfortably on the previously announced path to deliver at least $100 million of Adjusted EBITDA in 2020, we are instead planning to reinvest most of the profits we expect to generate during the second quarter into programs that directly drive more business to our restaurant partners. We anticipate this enhanced support will take several forms, including numerous Grubhub-funded diner promotions, reduced or eliminated diner delivery fees, platform improvements and products and procedures to help keep drivers, diners and restaurant workers safe.

As a result, we plan to intentionally manage the business to approximately $5 million of Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter to continue to support our ecosystem. To be clear, this is a completely discretionary short-term business decision designed to support our industry. We are proud that our consistent profitability, highly variable cost structure and strong balance sheet afford us ample liquidity (approximately $600 million as of March 31, including $175 million we added from our revolver) and flexibility during times like these.

We are confident that our ability to manage our business profitably while competing aggressively has not changed, but because of the uncertainty surrounding the timing of when and how the COVID-19 outbreak will resolve, we believe it’s prudent to withdraw our full year 2020 revenue and EBITDA guidance.

When business and social conditions normalize, we expect to return Grubhub to the growth and profit trajectory we were on before COVID-19 – which was at the high end of our expectations laid out over the last couple of quarters. We remain bullish on our industry and our long-term competitive strategy.

Stay safe, and we look forward to providing you with a more comprehensive update on the business in early May.

Adam DeWitt, President and CFO

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 including, but not limited to, achievement of the benefits of our planned additional investments, 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, statements related to the potential impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business and operations, as well as 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, 2020, which is on file with the SEC and are available on the Investor Relations section of our website at https://investors.grubhub.com.

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 (loss) adjusted to exclude acquisition, restructuring and certain legal costs, income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense. We use 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 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.

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 including, but not limited to, achievement of the benefits of our planned additional investments, 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 and our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, 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, 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.

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.

Grubhub Reports Second Quarter 2019 Results

Grubhub generates 36% revenue growth in the second quarter

CHICAGO, July 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Grubhub Inc. (NYSE: GRUB), the nation’s leading online and mobile food-ordering and delivery marketplace, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019. The Company posted revenues of $325 million, which is a 36% year-over-year increase from $240 million in the second quarter of 2018. Gross Food Sales grew 20% year-over-year to $1.5 billion, up from $1.2 billion in the same period last year.

“The team continued executing in the second quarter, adding thousands of new, high-quality independent and enterprise restaurants and growing our active diner base to more than 20 million,” said Matt Maloney, Grubhub founder and CEO. “We are excited about the trajectory of our two-sided marketplace – both in terms of geographic diversity and depth in individual markets. Restaurants are increasingly valuing the incremental sales and products we provide, while diners highly regard our robust restaurant selection and consistently low transaction fees.”

Second Quarter 2019 Highlights

The following results reflect the financial performance and key operating metrics of our business for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018.

Second Quarter Financial Highlights

  • Revenues: $325.1 million, a 36% year-over-year increase from $239.7 million in the second quarter of 2018.
  • Net Income: $1.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, a 96% year-over-year decrease from $30.1 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2018.
  • Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA: $54.7 million, a 19% year-over-year decrease from $67.4 million in the second quarter of 2018.
  • Non-GAAP Net Income: $24.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, a 46% year-over-year decrease from $46.3 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2018.

Second Quarter Key Business Metrics Highlights1

  • Active Diners: 20.3 million, a 30% year-over-year increase from 15.6 million Active Diners in the second quarter of 2018.
  • Daily Average Grubs (DAGs): 488,900, a 16% year-over-year increase from 423,200 DAGs in the second quarter of 2018.
  • Gross Food Sales: $1.5 billion, a 20% year-over-year increase from $1.2 billion in the second quarter of 2018.

“Our Adjusted EBITDA per order increased by $0.14 from the first quarter to $1.23 despite the headwind of the seasonally slower second quarter. This sequential improvement was primarily driven by increasing delivery efficiency, especially in our quickly ramping recently launched markets,” said Adam DeWitt, Grubhub president and CFO. “We have achieved this profitability improvement while extending our delivery business into smaller and less dense markets, setting us up for continued unit economic improvement as we head into our seasonally stronger months at the end of the year.”

Third Quarter and Full Year 2019 Guidance

Based on information available as of July 30, 2019, the Company is providing the following financial guidance for the third quarter and full year of 2019.

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 June 30, 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.
