Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
1. Organization
Grubhub Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”) provide an online and mobile takeout marketplace for restaurant pick-up and delivery orders. The Company connects diners and restaurants through restaurant technology and easy-to-use platforms. Diners enter their delivery address or use geo-location within the mobile applications and the Company displays the menus and other relevant information for restaurants in its network. Orders may be placed directly online, via mobile applications or over the phone. The Company primarily charges the restaurant a per order commission that is largely fee based.
In many markets, the Company also provides delivery services to restaurants on its platform that do not have their own delivery operations. The Company’s takeout marketplace, and related platforms where the Company provides marketing services to generate orders, are collectively referred to as the “Platform”.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Grubhub Inc. and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all wholly-owned subsidiaries and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments, as well as any other than normal adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2019 (the “2018 Form 10-K”). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Significant items subject to such estimates, judgments and assumptions include revenue recognition, website and internal-use software development costs, goodwill, recoverability of intangible assets with finite lives and other long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Changes in Accounting Principle
See “
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
” below for a description of accounting principle changes adopted during the three months ended March 31, 2019 related to leases.
There have been no other material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the 2018 Form 10-K.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 introduces a new forward-looking approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities, which will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU also expands disclosure requirements. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance will be applied using the modified-retrospective approach. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2016, and in subsequent updates, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842,
Leases
(“ASC Topic 842”). Under ASC Topic 842, a lessee recognizes a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) in the statement of financial position at the commencement date. ASC Topic 842 was effective for and adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2019. The Company adopted ASC Topic 842 using the modified retrospective transition method applied to all existing leases beginning January 1, 2019. Periods prior to adoption were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with historic accounting guidance under ASC Topic 840. The Company elected the optional practical expedient package which, among other things, includes retaining the historical classification of leases. The adoption of ASC Topic
7

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
842 resulted in the recognition on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2019 of right-of-use assets of $81.2 million and lease liabili
ties for operating leases of $97.7 million, but did not result in a cumulative-effect adjustment on retained earnings. The operating lease right-of-use asset includes the impact upon adoption of ASC Topic 842 of the derecognition of lease incentives, defer
red rent, below-market lease intangibles, cease-use liabilities and prepaid rent balances recognized in prepaid expenses and other current assets and current and noncurrent other accruals on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018. The adop
tion of ASC Topic 842 did not have and is not expected to have a material impact to the Company's consolidated results of operations or cash flows. See Note 7,
Commitments and Contingencies
, for additional details.
3. Acquisitions
There were no acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
2018 Acquisitions
On
November 7, 2018, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Tapingo Ltd. (“Tapingo”) for approximately $152.1 million, including $151.7 million of cash paid (net of cash acquired of $1.5 million) and $0.4 million of other non-cash consideration. Tapingo is a leading platform for campus food ordering with direct integration into college meal plans and point of sale systems. The acquisition of Tapingo has enhanced the Company’s diner network on college campuses.
On September 13, 2018, the Company acquired SCVNGR, Inc. d/b/a LevelUp (“LevelUp”) for approximately $369.4 million, including $366.8 million of cash paid (net of cash acquired of $6.0 million) and $2.6 million of other non-cash consideration.
LevelUp is a leading provider of mobile diner engagement and payment solutions for national and regional restaurant brands. The acquisition of LevelUp has simplified the Company’s integrations with restaurants’ systems, increased diner engagement and accelerated product development.
The Company assumed Tapingo and LevelUp employees’ unvested incentive stock option (“ISO”) awards as of the respective closing dates. Approximately $0.4 million and $2.6 million of the fair value of the assumed ISO awards granted to acquired Tapingo and LevelUp employees, respectively, was attributable to the pre-combination services of the awardees and was included in the respective purchase prices. These amounts are reflected within goodwill in the respective purchase price allocations. As of the respective acquisition dates, aggregate post-combination expense of approximately $21.4 million was expected to be recognized related to the combined assumed ISO awards over the remaining post-combination service period.
The results of operations of Tapingo and LevelUp have been included in the Company’s financial statements since November 7, 2018 and September 13, 2018, respectively
.
The excess of the consideration transferred in the acquisitions over the amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets was recorded as goodwill, which represents the value
of LevelUp’s technology team, the ability to simplify integrations with restaurants on the Company’s platform, and the expanded breadth and depth of the Company’s network of diners and campus relationships
. The total goodwill related to the acquisitions of Tapingo and LevelUp of $415.5 million is not deductible for income tax purposes.
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Tapingo and LevelUp were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the closing dates of November 7, 2018 and September 13, 2018, respectively. The purchase price allocations for Tapingo and LevelUp are subject to change within the measurement period as certain significant fair value estimates are subject to management review and approval. See Note 5,
Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets
, for a description of changes to the purchase price allocations for Tapingo and LevelUp during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Additional Information
The estimated fair values of the intangible assets acquired were determined based on a combination of the income, cost, and market approaches to measure the fair value of the restaurant relationships, diner acquisition and developed technology as follows:
|
Valuation Method
|
|
Tapingo
|
|
LevelUp
|
Restaurant relationships
|
Multi-period excess earnings
|
|
With or without comparative business valuation
|
Diner acquisition
|
n/a
|
|
Cost to recreate
|
Developed technology
|
Cost to recreate
|
|
Multi-period excess earnings
|
The fair value of the LevelUp below-market lease was measured based on the present value of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the lease and an estimate of current fair market lease rates measured over the non-cancelable remaining term of the lease. As of January 1, 2019, the below-market lease intangible asset was derecognized from acquired intangible assets resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of operating lease right-of-use assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets upon adoption of ASC Topic 842.
These fair value measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.
The Company incurred certain expenses directly and indirectly related to acquisitions which were recognized in general and administrative expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 of $0.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

Upon adoption of ASC Topic 842, t
he acquired below-market lease intangible was derecognized resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the operating lease right-of-use asset within the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2019. Amortization of the acquired below-market lease intangible was recognized as rent expense within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 7,
Commitments and Contingencies,
for further details.
Amortization expense for acquired intangible assets recognized within depreciation and amortization on the condensed consolidated statements of operations was $11.9 million and $11.5 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company recorded depreciation and amortization expense for property and equipment other than developed software of $6.2 million and $5.1 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The Company capitalized developed software costs of $14.5 million and $8.2 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Amortization expense for developed software costs, recognized in depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $7.0 million and $4.4 million, respectively.
7. Commitments and Contingencies
Leases
As of
March 31, 2019
, the Company had operating lease agreements for its office facilities in various locations throughout the U.S, as well as in the U.K. and Israel, which expire at various dates through September 2029. The terms of the lease agreements provide for fixed rental payments on a graduated basis. For its primary operating leases, the Company can, after the initial lease term, renew its leases under right of first offer terms at fair value at the time of renewal for a period of five years. The Company's lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of a contract
. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Non-lease components associated with lease components in the Company’s lease contracts are treated as a single lease component. As of March 31, 2019, the Company recognized on its condensed consolidated balance sheets operating lease right-of-use assets of $78.7 million that represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and current and noncurrent operating lease liabilities of $13.4 million and $82.4 million, respectively, that represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments.
Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities commencing after January 1, 2019 are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Because the rate implicit in
each lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Company uses information including the risk-free interest rate for the remaining lease term, the Company’s implied credit rating and interest rates of similar debt instruments of entities with comparable credit ratings. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, which is allocated on a headcount basis to operations and support, sales and marketing, technology and general and administrative costs and expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The components of lease costs, which consists of rent expense for leased office space, during the three months ended
March 31, 2019 were as follows:

Legal
In August 2011, Ameranth, Inc. (“Ameranth”) filed a patent infringement action against a number of defendants, including Grubhub Holdings Inc., in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, Case No. 3:11-cv-1810. Ameranth subsequently initiated additional actions for infringement of a related patent, including separate actions against Grubhub Holdings Inc., Case No. 3:12-cv-739, and Seamless North America, LLC, Case No. 3:12-cv-737, which were consolidated along with approximately 40 other cases Ameranth filed in the same district.
In September 2018, the district court granted summary judgment (on another defendant’s motion) of unpatentability on the sole remaining patent and vacated the December 3, 2018 jury trial date for the claims against Grubhub Holdings Inc. and Seamless North America, LLC. In October 2018, the district court entered final judgment on all claims in the case in which summary judgment was granted, and then stayed the remaining cases (including the cases against Grubhub and Seamless). Ameranth then appealed this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Company believes this case lacks merit and that it has strong defenses to all of the infringement claims. The Company intends to defend the suit vigorously. However, the Company is unable to predict the likelihood of success of Ameranth’s infringement claims and is unable to predict the likelihood of success of its counterclaims. The Company has not recorded an accrual related to this lawsuit as of
March 31, 2019
, as it does not believe a material loss is probable. It is a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred; however, the possible range of loss is not estimable given the status of the case and the uncertainty as to whether the claims at issue are with or without merit, will be settled out of court, or will be

determined in the Company’s favor, whether the Company may be required to expend significant management time and financial resources on the defense of such claims, and whether the Company
will be able to recover any losses under its insurance policies.
In addition to the matter described above, from time to time, the Company is involved in various other legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business activities, including labor and employment claims, some of which relate to the alleged misclassification of independent contractors. In September 2015, a claim was brought in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California under the Private Attorneys General Act by an individual plaintiff on behalf of himself and seeking to represent other drivers and the State of California. The claim sought monetary penalties and injunctive relief for alleged violations of the California Labor Code based on the alleged misclassification of drivers as independent contractors.
A decision was issued on February 8, 2018, and the court ruled in favor of the Company, finding that plaintiff was properly classified as an independent contractor. In March 2018, the plaintiff appealed this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
The Company does not believe any of the foregoing claims will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. However,
there is no assurance that any claim will not be combined into a collective or class action.
Indemnification
In connection with the merger of Seamless North America, LLC, Seamless Holdings Corporation and Grubhub Holdings Inc. in August 2013, the Company agreed to indemnify Aramark Holdings Corporation for negative income tax consequences associated with the October 2012 spin-off of Seamless Holdings Corporation that were the result of certain actions taken by the Company through October 29, 2014, in certain instances subject to a $15.0 million limitation. Management is not aware of any actions that would impact the indemnification obligation.

On February 6, 2019, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which provides, among other things
, for aggregate revolving loans up to $225 million and term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $325 million. In addition, the Company may incur up to $250 million of incremental revolving or term loans pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. The credit facility under the Credit Agreement will be available to the Company until February 5, 2024.
The Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s prior $350 million credit facility, which was due to expire on October 9, 2022. There have been no changes in the terms of the Credit Agreement as described in Part II, Item 8, Note 16,
Subsequent Events
, to the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company made principal payments of $2.0 million from cash on hand. As of March 31, 2019, outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement were $340.3 million.
The fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt approximates its carrying value as of
March 31, 2019 (see Note 13,
Fair Value Measurement
, for additional details)
. The Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Agreement as of
March 31, 2019
. Additional capacity under the Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, including funding working capital and future acquisitions
.
As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, total unamortized debt issuance costs of $3.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively, were recorded as other assets and as a reduction of long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheets in proportion to the borrowing capacities of the revolving and term loans.
Interest expense includes interest on outstanding borrowings, amortization of debt issuance costs and commitment fees on the undrawn portion available under the credit facility. The Company recognized interest expense of $3.5 million and $1.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

9. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has granted non-qualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards under its incentive plans.
The Company recognizes compensation expense based on estimated grant date fair values for all stock-based awards issued to employees and directors, including stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units.
Stock-based Compensation Expense
The total stock-based compensation expense related to all stock-based awards was $16.5 million and $10.2 million during the
three months
ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively
.
As of March 31, 2019, $244.7 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.2 years.
Excess tax benefits reflect the total realized value of the Company’s tax deductions from individual stock option exercise transactions and the vesting of restricted stock units in excess of the deferred tax assets that were previously recorded.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and
2018,
the Company
recognized excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation of $2.3 million and $8.2 million
, respectively,
within income tax benefit on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and within cash flows from operating activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
The Company capitalized
stock-based compensation expense as website and software development costs
of
$3.2 million and $1.7 million during the
three months
ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Stock Options
The Company granted 301,873
and 332,723 stock options under the Grubhub Inc. 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The fair value of each stock option award was estimated based on the assumptions below as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Expected volatility is based on the historical and implied volatilities of the Company’s own common stock
.
The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercises and employee terminations within the valuation model. Separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes.
The expected term calculation for option awards considers a combination of the Company’s historical and estimated future exercise behavior.
The risk-free rate for the period within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
The assumptions used to determine the fair value of the stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
On April 25, 2018, the Company issued and sold 2,820,464 shares of the Company’s common stock to Yum Restaurant Services Group, LLC (th
e “Investor”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Yum! Brands, Inc., for an aggregate purchase price of $200 million pursuant to an investment agreement dated February 7, 2018, by and between the Company and the Investor. The Company has used and expects to use
the proceeds for general corporate purposes.
On January 22, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a program that authorizes the repurchase of up to $100 million of the Company’s common stock exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses relating to such repurchases through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions at the prevailing market price at the time of purchase. The repurchase program was announced on January 25, 2016. Repurchased stock may be retired or held as treasury shares. The repurchase authorizations do not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock or adopt any particular method of
repurchase
and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time at management’s discretion. Repurchased and retired shares will result in an immediate reduction of the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted net income per share at the time of the transaction. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock.
Preferred Stock
The Company was authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock. There were no issued or outstanding shares of preferred stock as of March 31, 2019 or December 31,
2018
.
12. Earnings Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, including stock options and restricted stock units, except in cases where the effect of the common stock equivalent would be antidilutive. Potential common stock equivalents consist of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units using the treasury stock method.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and

13. Fair Value Measurement
Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The standards also establish a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The accounting guidance for fair value measurements prioritizes valuation methodologies based on the reliability of the inputs in the following three-tier value hierarchy:
|
Level 1
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
Level 2
|
Assets and liabilities valued based on observable market data for similar instruments, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities.
|
|
Level 3
|
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity; instruments valued based on the best available data, some of which is internally developed, and considers risk premiums that a market participant would require.
|
The Company applied the following methods and assumptions in estimating its fair value measurements. The Company’s commercial paper, investments in corporate bonds and certain money market funds are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable directly or indirectly. The Company’s long-term debt is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy because it is valued using an income approach, which utilizes a discounted cash flow technique that considers the credit profile of the Company. Accounts receivable, restaurant food liability and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their generally short-term maturities.
The following table presents the fair value, for disclosure purposes only, and carrying value of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are recorded at other than fair value as of March 31, 2019 and December 31,
