Grubhub Reports Second Quarter 2019 Results

CHICAGO, July 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Grubhub Inc. 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."

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.
