1. Organization

GrubHub Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”) provide an online and mobile platform for restaurant pick-up and delivery orders. 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 at no cost to the diner. The Company charges the restaurant a per order commission that is largely fee based. In certain markets, the Company also provides delivery services to a small percentage of restaurants on its platform.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

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 accompany notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on March 5, 2015. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.

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. Estimates include revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, website development costs, goodwill, depreciable lives of property and equipment, recoverability of intangible assets with definite lives and other long-lived assets, stock-based compensation and income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-05, “Intangibles -Goodwill and Other – Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement” (“ASU 2015-05”), which provides guidance on accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. Under ASU 2015-05, if a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the software license element should be accounted for consistent with the purchase of other software licenses. If the cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, it should be accounted for as a service contract. ASU 2015-05 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2016 and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company has elected to apply ASU 2015-05 prospectively, however, its adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific requirements. ASU 2014-09 establishes a five-step revenue recognition process in which an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows and the method of retrospective application, either full or modified. On April 29, 2015, the FASB issued an exposure draft proposing a one-year deferral of the effective date of ASU 2014-09; however, no decisions have been reached as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

3. Acquisitions

On February 4, 2015, the Company acquired assets of DiningIn.com, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “DiningIn”), and on February 27, 2015, the Company acquired the membership units of Restaurants on the Run, LLC (“Restaurants on the Run”). Aggregate consideration for the two acquisitions was approximately $55.5 million in cash and 407,812 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, or an estimated total transaction value of approximately $71.5 million based on the Company’s closing share price on the respective closing dates, net of cash acquired of $0.7 million. DiningIn and Restaurants on the Run provide delivery options for individual diners, group orders and corporate catering. The acquisitions will expand and enhance the Company’s service offerings for its customers, particularly in the delivery space.

The excess of the consideration transferred in the acquisitions over the net amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which represents the opportunity to expand restaurant delivery services and enhance the breadth and depth of the Company’s restaurant networks. The goodwill related to these acquisitions is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company incurred certain expenses directly and indirectly related to the acquisitions of $0.6 million, which were recognized in general and administrative expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed of DiningIn and Restaurants on the Run were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the closing dates of February 4, 2015 and February 27, 2015, respectively. The following table summarizes the final purchase price allocation acquisition-date fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired in connection with the acquisitions:

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 customer (restaurant) relationships, developed technology and trademarks. The fair value of the trademarks was measured based on the relief from royalty method. The cost approach, specifically the cost to recreate method, was used to value the developed technology. The income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method, was used to value the customer (restaurant) relationships. 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 results of operations of DiningIn and Restaurants on the Run have been included in the Company’s financial statements since February 4, 2015 and February 27, 2015, respectively. The total amount of revenues and net income from the acquisitions included in the Company’s operating results since the respective acquisition dates through March 31, 2015 were $3.5 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal

In August 2011, 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 (the “Court”), Case No. 3:11-cv-1810 (“’1810 action”). In September 2011, Ameranth amended its complaint in the ’1810 action to also accuse Seamless North America, LLC of patent infringement. Ameranth alleged that the GrubHub Holdings Inc. and Seamless North America, LLC ordering systems, products and services infringe claims 12 through 15 of U.S. Patent No. 6,384,850 (“’850 patent”) and claims 11 and 15 of U.S. Patent No. 6,871,325 (“’325 patent”).

In March 2012, Ameranth initiated eight additional actions for infringement of a third, related patent, U.S. Patent No. 8,146,077 (“’077 patent”), in the same forum, including separate actions against GrubHub Holdings Inc., Case No. 3:12-cv-739 (“’739 action”), and Seamless North America, LLC, Case No. 3:12-cv-737 (“’737 action”). In August 2012, the Court severed the claims against GrubHub Holdings Inc. and Seamless North America, LLC in the ’1810 action and consolidated them with the ’739 action and the ’737 action, respectively. Later, the Court consolidated these separate cases against GrubHub Holdings Inc. and Seamless North America, LLC, along with the approximately 40 other cases Ameranth filed in the same district, with the original ’1810 action. In their answers, GrubHub Holdings Inc. and Seamless North America, LLC denied infringement and interposed various defenses, including non-infringement, invalidity, unenforceability and inequitable conduct.

On November 26, 2013, the consolidated case was stayed pending the disposition of petitions for post-grant review of all the patents in the suit. These petitions were filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “PTO”) under the new Transitional Program for Covered Business Method Patents (the “CBM proceedings”). The CBM proceedings resulted in a March 26, 2014 ruling denying defendants’ petitions on the claims most relevant to GrubHub Holdings Inc. and Seamless North America LLC. The consolidated case remains stayed.

No trial date has been set for this case. 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, 2015, 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 early stage of the dispute 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 matters described above, from time to time, the Company is involved in various other legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, a final settlement was approved by the court for one such litigation in which the Company incurred $0.2 million in previously reserved or accrued settlement fees and related expenses, net of insurance recovery proceeds received of $0.4 million.

Indemnification

In connection with the merger of GrubHub and Seamless in August 2013, the Company agreed to indemnify Aramark Holdings for negative income tax consequences associated with the October 2012 spin-off of Seamless Holdings 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.

Restructuring

On November 20, 2013, the Company announced plans to close its Sandy, Utah office location in 2014. The Company recorded a restructuring accrual in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for severance and payroll related benefits and other facility closure costs as a result of the restructuring announcement. The amounts recorded represented the service vesting requirements for identified employees who worked for various periods beyond the communication date and related lease termination costs. The facility was closed on November 30, 2014, however, certain employees worked until January 2, 2015. Total restructuring costs incurred were approximately $1.3 million, including expense of $0.5 million related to the termination of the Sandy, Utah office lease agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, restructuring expense of $0.3 million was recognized in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company did not incur any restructuring expense during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and does not expect to incur any additional restructuring expense related to the Sandy, Utah facility closure.

The following table summarizes the Company’s restructuring activity during the three months ended March 31, 2015:

8. Stock-Based Compensation

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 Options

The Company granted 1,239,410 and 1,598,990 stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, 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 volatilities are based on a combination of the historical and implied volatilities of comparable publicly-traded companies and the historical volatility of the Company’s own common stock due to its limited trading history. 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 of the award is estimated using a simplified method. The fair value at grant date prior to the Company’s initial public offering in April 2014 (the “IPO”) was determined considering the performance of the Company at the grant date as well as future growth and profitability expectations by applying market and income approaches. 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, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

There was no active external or internal market for the Company’s common stock prior to the IPO in April 2014. Due to the Company’s limited trading history, the Company estimated expected volatility based on a combination of the historical and implied volatilities of comparable publicly-traded companies and the historical volatility of the Company’s own common stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the expected volatility was based on the historical and implied volatilities of comparable publicly-traded companies as there was no trading history for the Company’s common stock prior to the IPO.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the difference between the fair value of the common stock and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their in-the-money options on each date. This amount will change in future periods based on the fair value of the Company’s stock and the number of options outstanding. The aggregate intrinsic value of awards exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $49.8 million and $6.5 million, respectively.

The stock options vest over different lengths of time depending upon the grantee. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period. The Company recorded compensation expense for stock options of $2.8 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company capitalized $0.1 million of stock-based compensation expense as website and software development costs. As of March 31, 2015, total unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested stock options was $24.2 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.21 years.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company reported excess tax benefits as a decrease in cash flows from operations and an increase in cash flows from financing activities of $6.5 million. Excess tax benefits were suspended during the three months ended March 31, 2014 due to net operating losses. Excess tax benefits reflect the total of the individual stock option exercise transactions in which the reduction to the Company’s income tax liability is greater than the deferred tax assets that were previously recorded.

There were no non-vested restricted stock units or restricted stock awards or related expense during the three months ended March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2015, $0.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to 7,689 non-vested restricted stock units with weighted-average grant date fair values of $39.12 is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.8 years. As of March 31, 2015, $4.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to 101,616 non-vested restricted stock awards with weighted-average grant date fair values of $42.01 is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years. The fair value of these awards was determined based on the Company’s stock price at the grant date and assumes no expected dividend payments through the vesting period.

There were no excess tax benefits related to restricted stock units or restricted stock awards during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

9. Stockholders’ Equity

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company was authorized to issue two classes of stock: common stock and Series A Preferred Stock.

Common Stock

Each holder of common stock will have one vote per share of common stock held on all matters that are submitted for stockholder vote. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were 500,000,000 shares of common stock authorized. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were 83,789,008 and 81,905,325 shares issued and outstanding, respectively. The Company did not hold any shares as treasury shares as of March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

Series A Preferred Stock

The Company was authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Upon the closing of the Company’s IPO on April 4, 2014, all shares of the Company’s then-outstanding convertible Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted on a one-for-one basis into an aggregate of 19,284,113 shares of common stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock was convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as defined in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. There were no issued or outstanding shares of preferred stock as of March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

Redeemable Common Stock

The put rights that would have required the Company to repurchase the Company’s then outstanding redeemable common stock at fair value (as defined in the stockholders agreement) determined at the redemption date were terminated and the shares converted on a one-for-one basis into an aggregate of 1,344,236 shares common stock upon the closing of the IPO on April 4, 2014. There were no outstanding shares of redeemable common stock as of March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

10. 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, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards, 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 and restricted stock awards using the treasury stock method and common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. Upon the closing of the IPO, all shares of the Company’s then-outstanding convertible Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted into an aggregate of 19,284,113 shares of common stock.

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, 2015 and 2014:
