Grubhub generates 32% revenue growth in the second quarter and announces strategic partnerships

CHICAGO, Aug. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Grubhub Inc. GRUB, the nation's leading takeout marketplace, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017. For the second quarter, DAGs grew 16% year over year, and the Company posted revenues of $158.8 million, which is a 32% year-over-year increase from $120.2 million in the second quarter of 2016. Grubhub also announced long-term partnerships with both Yelp and Groupon.

"Grubhub strives to be the most comprehensive marketplace connecting online takeout diners and restaurants. We continued to execute well in the second quarter, with strong active diner growth and thousands of new, high-quality restaurants," commented Grubhub CEO, Matt Maloney. "In addition, we signed long-term partnerships with Yelp and Groupon to be their preferred online ordering engine, agreeing to purchase Eat24 and select OrderUp markets in the process to add scale, diners and restaurants, and drive more volume to our restaurant partners."

Second Quarter 2017 Highlights

The following results reflect the financial performance and key operating metrics of our business for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016.

Second Quarter Financial Highlights

Revenues: $158.8 million, a 32% year-over-year increase from $120.2 million in the second quarter of 2016.
Net Income: $14.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, a 15% year-over-year increase from $12.8 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2016.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA: $42.2 million, a 12% year-over-year increase from $37.6 million in the second quarter of 2016.
Non-GAAP Net Income: $23.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, a 19% year-over-year increase from $19.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2016.

Second Quarter Key Business Metrics Highlights

Active Diners were 9.18 million, a 25% year-over-year increase from 7.35 million Active Diners in the second quarter of 2016.
Daily Average Grubs (DAGs) were 313,900, a 16% year-over-year increase from 271,100 DAGs in the second quarter of 2016.
Gross Food Sales were $880 million, a 20% year-over-year increase from $733 million in the second quarter of 2016.

"Our increased investment in marketing spend is yielding solid results in new diner acquisition, particularly in our smaller, less penetrated markets," said Grubhub CFO, Adam DeWitt. "In addition, Grubhub delivery continues to benefit from increasing economies of scale, driving our efficiency higher as we grow. We generated adjusted EBITDA of $1.48 per order, which was an increase compared to the seasonally stronger first quarter even though we increased sales and marketing investment 37% compared to the second quarter of last year."

Based on information available as of Aug. 3, 2017, the Company is providing the following financial guidance for the third quarter and full year of 2017. This guidance excludes any potential impact from the acquisitions of Eat24, OrderUp and Foodler, which have not yet closed, as well as any impact from partnerships with Yelp and Groupon:

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 completion of each of the acquisitions of Foodler, Eat24 and OrderUp, the expected benefits to, and financial performance of, Grubhub following such acquisitions and its strategic partnerships with Yelp and Groupon. 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, 2017, which is on file with the SEC and are 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, 2017, 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 and restructuring costs, income taxes, 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 and restructuring 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 and restructuring, 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.
