Organization

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. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated statements of operations include the results of entities acquired from the dates of the acquisitions for accounting purposes.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC Topic 606”) using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with historical accounting guidance under ASC Topic 605. See Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Note 3, Revenue, below for additional details.

Changes in Accounting Principle

See “Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements” below for a description of accounting principle changes adopted during the year ended December 31, 2018 related to revenue and the statement of cash flows.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity 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 and internal-use software development costs, goodwill, depreciable lives of property and equipment, recoverability of intangible assets with finite lives and other long-lived assets and stock-based compensation. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual results, the Company’s consolidated financial statements will be affected. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash includes demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and that are so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. The Company’s cash equivalents include only investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company regularly maintains cash in excess of federally insured limits at financial institutions. Cash and cash equivalents excludes the Company’s restricted cash balances of $4.6 million and $4.1 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which are included within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other long term assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist primarily of commercial paper and investment grade U.S. and non-U.S.-issued corporate debt securities. The Company invests in a diversified portfolio of marketable securities and limits the concentration of its investment in any particular security. Marketable securities with original maturities of three months or less are included in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities with original maturities greater than three months, but less than one year, are included in short term investments on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company determines the classification of its marketable securities as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity at the time of purchase and reassesses these determinations at each balance sheet date. Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has the intent to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost and are periodically assessed for other-than-temporary impairment. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity, which is recognized as interest income within net interest (income) expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Interest income is recognized when earned.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of foreign currency translation adjustments. The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated from their functional currency into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at period end rates of exchange, and revenue and expenses are translated using average rates of exchange. The resulting gain or loss is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The useful lives are as follows:

 

 

 

Estimated Useful Life

Computer equipment

 

2-3 years

Furniture and fixtures

 

5 years

Developed software

 

1-3 years

Purchased software and digital assets

 

3-5 years

Leasehold improvements

 

Shorter of expected useful life or lease term

Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major improvements, which extend the useful life of the related asset, are capitalized. Upon disposal of a fixed asset, the Company records a gain or loss based on the difference between the proceeds received and the net book value of the disposed asset.

Accounts Receivable, Net

See Note 3, Revenue, below for a description of the Company’s accounts receivable accounting policy. 

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are generally expensed as incurred in connection with the requisite service period. Certain advertising production costs are capitalized and expensed when the advertisement first takes place. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, expenses attributable to advertising totaled approximately $170.3 million, $107.2 million and $75.5 million, respectively. Advertising costs are recorded in sales and marketing expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures compensation expense for all stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards, at fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation expense over the service period on a straight-line basis for awards expected to vest.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value for stock options. Management has determined the Black-Scholes fair value of stock option awards and related stock-based compensation expense with the assistance of third-party valuations. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires judgment. The determination of the grant date fair value of options using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s estimated common stock fair value as well as assumptions regarding a number of other complex and subjective variables. If any of the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model changes significantly, stock-based compensation for future awards may differ materially compared with the awards granted previously.

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions, including the expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock, which determine the fair value of stock-based awards. These assumptions include:

 

Risk-free rate. Risk-free interest rates are derived from U.S. Treasury securities as of the option grant date.

 

Expected dividend yields. Expected dividend yields are based on our historical dividend payments, which have been zero to date (excluding the preferred stock tax distributions made by Seamless Holdings prior to 2015).

 

Volatility. Beginning in the first quarter of 2018, expected volatility is based on the historical and implied volatilities of the Company’s own common stock. Prior to 2018, the expected stock price volatility was based on a combination of the historical and implied volatilities of comparable publicly-traded companies and the historical volatility of our common stock due to our limited trading history as there was no active external or internal market for our common stock prior to the Company’s initial public offering in April 2014.

 

Expected term. Beginning in the first quarter of 2017, the expected term calculation for option awards considers a combination of the Company’s historical and estimated future exercise behavior. Prior to 2017, the Company applied a simplified method which estimated the weighted-average expected life of the options as the average of the vesting option schedule and the term of the award due to insufficient historical exercise data as a result of the limited period of time stock-based awards had been exercisable.

 

Forfeiture rate. Forfeiture rates are estimated using historical actual forfeiture trends as well as our judgment of future forfeitures. These rates are evaluated at least annually and any change in compensation expense is recognized in the period of the change. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment and, to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from our current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period in which the estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including the types of awards and employee class. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from management’s current estimates.

See Note 10, Stock-Based Compensation, for the weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016.

Prior to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”) in 2017, the Company elected to use the with-and-without method in determining the order in which tax attributes are utilized. As a result, the Company only recognized a tax benefit for stock-based awards in additional paid-in capital if an incremental tax benefit was realized after all other tax attributes available to the Company had been utilized. Beginning in the first quarter of 2017, the Company recognizes tax benefits and deficiencies for stock-based awards in income tax (benefit) expense within the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 10, Stock-Based Compensation, for further discussion.

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense

Income tax (benefit) expense is determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated based upon the temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates that are applicable in a given year. The utilization of deferred tax assets is limited by the amount of taxable income expected to be generated within the allowable carryforward period and other factors. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount management believes is more likely than not to be realized. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, a valuation allowance of $23.8 million and $4.8 million, respectively, was recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. See Note 11, Income Taxes, for additional information.

The Company utilizes a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions (“tax contingencies”). The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments, and which may not accurately forecast actual outcomes.

Management believes that it is more likely than not that forecasted income, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, will be sufficient to fully recover the net deferred tax assets. In the event the Company determines that all or part of the net deferred tax assets are not realizable in the future, we will adjust the valuation allowance with the adjustment recognized as expense in the period in which such determination is made. The calculation of income tax liabilities involves significant judgment in estimating the impact of uncertainties and complex tax laws. In addition, the Company’s tax returns are subject to audit by various U.S. and foreign tax authorities. Resolution of these uncertainties in a manner inconsistent with our expectations could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Due to the reduced cost of repatriating unremitted earnings as a result of U.S. tax legislation signed into law in December of 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), the Company plans to repatriate cash from the U.K. to the U.S. The Company estimated no additional tax liability as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 as there are no applicable withholding taxes for the transaction. Management regularly evaluates whether foreign earnings are expected to be permanently reinvested. This evaluation requires judgment about the future operating and liquidity needs of the Company’s foreign subsidiary. Changes in economic and business conditions, foreign or U.S. tax laws, or the Company’s financial situation could result in changes in these judgments and the need to record additional tax liabilities.

The Company includes interest and penalties related to tax contingencies in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. Management does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next twelve months.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment. The Company evaluates intangible assets with finite and indefinite useful lives and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that they may not be recoverable, or at least annually. If management determines in its qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not that the assets may not be recoverable, the recoverability of finite and other long-lived assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset group to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by that asset group. The Company groups assets for purposes of such review at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows of the asset group are largely independent of the cash flows of the other groups of assets and liabilities. The amount of impairment to be recognized for finite and indefinite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets is calculated as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the asset group, generally measured by discounting estimated future cash flows. There were no impairment indicators present during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 or 2016.

Website and Software Development Costs

The costs incurred in the preliminary stages of website and software development are expensed as incurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental and deemed by management to be significant, are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the application. Maintenance and enhancement costs, including those costs in the post-implementation stages, are typically expensed as incurred, unless such costs relate to substantial upgrades and enhancements to the website or software that result in added functionality, in which case the costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives. Amortization expense related to capitalized website and software development costs is included in depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company capitalized $41.1 million, $26.0 million and $15.6 million of website development costs during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the assets acquired at the date of acquisition. The Company’s methodology for allocating the purchase price of acquisitions is based on established valuation techniques that consider a number of factors, including valuations performed by third-party appraisers. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had $1,019.2 million in goodwill on its consolidated balance sheets. The Company assesses the impairment of goodwill at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. Absent any special circumstances that could require an interim test, the Company has elected to test for goodwill impairment at September 30 of each year. The Company has one reporting unit in testing goodwill for impairment.

In testing goodwill for impairment, the Company may elect to utilize a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment indicates that goodwill impairment is more likely than not, the Company performs a quantitative impairment test. The Company would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, if any, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

Management determined the fair value of the Company as of September 30, 2018 by using a market-based approach that utilized our market capitalization, as adjusted for factors such as a control premium. After consideration of the Company’s market capitalization, business growth and other factors, management determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Company exceeded its carrying amount at September 30, 2018 and that further analysis was not required.

Additionally, as part of the interim review for indicators of impairment, management analyzed potential changes in value based on operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2018 compared to expected results. Management also considered how the Company’s market capitalization, business growth and other factors used in the September 30, 2018 impairment analysis, could be impacted by changes in market conditions and economic events. For example, the fair market value of the Company’s stock has decreased since September 30, 2018. Management considered these trends in performing its assessment of whether an interim impairment review was required. Based on this interim assessment, management concluded that as of December 31, 2018, there were no events or changes in circumstances that indicated it was more likely than not that the Company’s fair value was below its carrying value.

The Company determined there was no goodwill impairment during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. Nevertheless, significant changes in global economic and market conditions could result in changes to expectations of future financial results and key valuation assumptions. Such changes could result in revisions of management’s estimates of the Company’s fair value and could result in a material impairment of goodwill.

Debt Issuance Costs

The Company has incurred debt issuance costs in connection with its debt facilities and related amendments. Amounts paid directly to lenders are classified as issuance costs. Commitment fees and other costs directly associated with obtaining credit facilities are deferred financing costs which are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets and amortized over the term of the facility. The Company allocates deferred debt issuance costs incurred for its current credit facility between the revolver and term loan based on their relative borrowing capacity. Deferred debt issuance costs associated with the revolving credit facility are recorded within other assets and those associated with the term loan are recorded as a reduction of the carrying value of the debt on the consolidated balance sheets. All deferred debt issuance costs are amortized using the effective interest rate method to interest expense within net interest (income) expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. See Note 9, Debt, for additional details.

Fair Value

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. See Note 15, Fair Value Measurement, for details of the fair value hierarchy and the related inputs used by the Company.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company had no customers which accounted for more than 10% of revenue or accounts receivable.

Revenue Recognition

See Note 3, Revenue, below for a description of the Company’s revenue recognition policy.

Deferred Rent

For the Company’s operating leases, the Company recognizes rent expenses on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Accordingly, the Company records the difference between cash rent payments and the recognition of rent expenses as a deferred rent liability within other accruals in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company also has landlord-funded leasehold improvements that are recorded as tenant allowances, which are being amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the noncancelable terms of the operating leases. Deferred rent and tenant allowances recorded as of December 31, 2018 will be impacted by changes in accounting pronouncements that became effective in the first quarter of 2019. See Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements below for additional information.

Segments

The Company has one reportable segment, which has been identified based on how the chief operating decision maker manages the business, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-15, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract” (“ASU 2018-15”). ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in hosting arrangements that are service contracts and that include an internal-use software license with the requirement for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The capitalized implementation costs are required to be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement. The guidance also clarifies the presentation requirements for reporting such costs in the entity’s financial statements. The Company early adopted ASU 2018-15 beginning in the third quarter of 2018. The amendments have been applied prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 provides clarification on when modification accounting should be used for changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. ASU 2017-09 does not change the accounting for modifications but clarifies that modification accounting guidance should only be applied if there is a change to the value, vesting conditions, or award classification and would not be required if the changes are considered non-substantive. ASU 2017-09 was effective for and adopted by the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018 on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2017-09 has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 adds or clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows with the intent of reducing diversity in practice related to eight types of cash flows including, among others, debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. In addition, in November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash” (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires companies to include amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flow. ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 were effective for and adopted by the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018. The amendments were applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented and impacted the Company’s presentation of the consolidated statements of cash flows. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as the Company’s restricted cash balances are immaterial.

In June 2016, 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, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), which established Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 (“ASC Topic 842”). Under ASC Topic 842, a lessee will recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease under ASU 2016-02 will not significantly change from current GAAP. ASU 2016-02 is effective beginning in the first quarter of 2019 with early adoption permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-11 “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements” (“ASU 2018-11”), which provides for the election of transition methods between the modified retrospective method and the optional transition relief method. The modified retrospective method is applied to all prior reporting periods presented with a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded in the earliest comparative period while the optional transition relief method is applied beginning in the period of adoption with a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded in the first quarter of 2019. The Company will apply the optional transition relief method and has elected the optional practical expedient package, which includes retaining the current classification of leases. Under ASC Topic 842, the Company expects to record in the consolidated balances sheets as of January 1, 2019, right of use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases entered into prior to December 31, 2018 of approximately $80 million to $95 million. The adoption of ASC Topic 842 has a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, but management anticipates that it will have no material impact to its results of operations or cash flows.   

In May 2014, and in subsequent updates, the FASB issued ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific requirements. ASC Topic 606 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. ASC Topic 606 also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. ASC Topic 606 was effective for and adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2018. The Company applied the modified retrospective approach to contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASC Topic 606 did not have and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows or its business processes, systems and controls.

The adoption of ASC Topic 606 resulted in an increase in revenues of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 and primarily had the following impact on the Company’s financial statements:

 

Beginning in January 1, 2018, the Company defers the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as contract acquisition assets resulting in a net decrease of $9.0 million in sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and corresponding increase in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Contract acquisition assets are amortized to sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the period in which services are expected to be provided to the customer, which is estimated to be approximately 4 years. Prior to the adoption of ASC Topic 606, the cost of obtaining a contract was recognized as it was incurred.

 

Beginning in the first quarter of 2018, the Company recognizes revenue from estimated unredeemed gift cards that are not subject to unclaimed property laws over the expected customer redemption period, rather than when the likelihood of redemption became remote. The Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2018 of $0.9 million related to unredeemed gift cards, breakage income of $1.1 million in revenues in the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2018 and a corresponding decrease in other accruals of $2.0 million on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Changes in the timing of revenue recognition under ASC Topic 606 related to incentives, refunds and adjustments resulted in a $0.1 million increase in revenues in the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

The adoption of ASC Topic 606 had no impact to the Company’s total net cash provided by or used in operations, investing or financing activities within the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue

3. Revenue

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer, in the amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those good or services.

The Company generates revenues primarily when diners place an order on the Platform through its mobile applications, its websites, or through third-party websites that incorporate the Company’s API or one of the Company’s listed phone numbers. Restaurants generally pay a commission, typically a percentage of the transaction, on orders that are processed through the Platform. Most of the restaurants on the Company’s Platform can choose their level of commission rate, at or above a base rate. A restaurant can choose to pay a higher rate that affects its prominence and exposure to diners on the Platform. Additionally, restaurants on the Platform that use the Company’s delivery services pay an additional commission for the use of those services. The Company may also charge a delivery or other convenience fee directly to the diner.

Revenues from online and phone pick-up and delivery orders are recognized when the orders are transmitted to the restaurants, including revenues for managed delivery services due to the simultaneous nature of the Company’s delivery operations. The amount of revenue recognized by the Company is based on the arrangement with the related restaurant and is adjusted for any expected refunds or adjustments, which are estimated using an expected value approach based on historical experience and any cash credits related to the transaction, including incentive offers provided to restaurants and diners. The Company also recognizes as revenue any fees charged to the diner for delivery or convenience services provided by the Company. Although the Company processes and collects the entire amount of the transaction with the diner, it records revenue for transmitting orders to restaurants on a net basis because the Company is acting as an agent for takeout orders, which are prepared by the restaurants. The Company is the principal in the transaction with respect to credit card processing and managed delivery services because it controls the respective services. As a result, costs incurred for processing the credit card transactions and providing delivery services are included in operations and support expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company periodically provides incentive offers to restaurants and diners to use our platform. These promotions are generally cash credits to be applied against purchases. These incentive offers are recorded as a reduction in revenues, generally on the date the corresponding order revenue is recognized. For those incentives that create an obligation to discount current or future orders, management applies judgment in allocating the incentives that are expected to be redeemed proportionally to current and future orders based on their relative expected transaction prices.

The Company derives some revenues from mobile application development professional services and access to the respective order ahead platforms and related services. Revenues for professional services and related platform access fees are generally recognized ratably over the subscription period beginning on the date the platform access becomes available to the customer. Revenues for certain professional services may be recognized in full once the services are performed if they are distinct. The Company also generates a small amount of revenues directly from companies that participate in our corporate ordering program and by selling advertising to third parties on our allmenus.com website. The Company does not anticipate that the foregoing will generate a material portion of our revenues in the foreseeable future.

For most orders, diners use a credit card to pay for their meal when the order is placed. For these transactions, the Company collects the total amount of the diner’s order net of payment processing fees from the payment processor and remits the net proceeds to the restaurant less commission. The Company generally accumulates funds and remits the net proceeds to the restaurants on at least a monthly basis, depending on the payment terms with the restaurant. The Company also accepts payment for orders via gift cards offered on its platform. For gift cards that are not subject to unclaimed property laws, the Company recognizes revenue from estimated unredeemed gift cards, based on its historical breakage experience, over the expected customer redemption period.

Certain governmental taxes are imposed on the products and services provided through the Company’s platform and are included in the order fees charged to the diner and collected by the Company. Sales taxes are either remitted to the restaurant for payment or are paid directly to certain states. These fees are recorded on a net basis, and, as a result, are excluded from revenues.

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable primarily represent the net cash due from the Company’s payment processors for cleared transactions and amounts owed from corporate and other institutional customers and Enterprise restaurants, which are generally invoiced on a monthly basis. The carrying amount of the Company’s receivables is reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects management’s best estimate of amounts that will not be collected. These uncollected amounts are generally not recovered from the restaurants. The allowance is recorded through a charge to bad debt expense which is recognized within general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The allowance is based on historical loss experience and any specific risks, current or forecasted, identified in collection matters.

Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge against bad debt expense and a credit to an allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off against the allowance. The Company does not charge interest on trade receivables.

The Company incurs expenses for uncollected credit card receivables (or “chargebacks”), including fraudulent orders, when a diner’s card is authorized but fails to process, and for other unpaid credit card receivables. The majority of the Company’s chargeback expense is recorded directly to general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations as the charges are incurred; however, a portion of the allowance for doubtful accounts includes a reserve for estimated chargebacks on the net cash due from the Company’s payment processors as of the end of the period.

Changes in the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts for the periods presented were as follows:

Deferred Revenues

The Company’s deferred revenues consist primarily of gift card liabilities, certain incentive liabilities as well as customer billings for professional services recognized ratably over the subscription period. These amounts are included within other accruals on the consolidated balance sheets and are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position. The majority of gift cards and incentives issued by the Company are redeemed within a year.

Contract Acquisition Costs

The Company defers the incremental costs of obtaining and renewing restaurant and corporate and campus program customer contracts, primarily consisting of commissions and bonuses and related payroll taxes, as contract acquisition assets within other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Contract acquisition assets are amortized using the straight-line method to sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the useful life of the contract, which is estimated to be approximately 4 years based on anticipated customer renewals. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company deferred $10.3 million of contract acquisitions costs and amortized $1.3 million of related expense. No amounts were deferred prior to the adoption of ASC Topic 606 on January 1, 2018.

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 $151.8 million of cash paid (net of cash acquired of $1.5 million), $0.4 million of other non-cash consideration and a net working capital adjustment receivable of $0.1 million. 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 is expected to be recognized related to the combined assumed ISO awards over the remaining post-combination service periods.

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 but did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018.

The excess of the consideration transferred in the acquisitions over the amounts assigned to the fair value of the net 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 $429.4 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 allocation for Tapingo and LevelUp is subject to change within the measurement period as certain significant fair value estimates are subject to management review and approval.

2017 Acquisitions

On October 10, 2017, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Eat24, LLC (“Eat24”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Yelp Inc., for approximately $281.7 million, including $281.4 million in net cash paid and $0.3 million of other non-cash consideration. Of such amount, $28.8 million will be held in escrow for an 18-month period after closing to secure the Company’s indemnification rights under the purchase agreement. Eat24 provides online and mobile food ordering for restaurants and diners across the United States. The acquisition expanded the breadth and depth of the Company’s national network of restaurant partners and active diners.

The Company granted restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards to acquired Eat24 employees in replacement of their unvested equity awards as of the closing date. Approximately $0.3 million of the fair value of the replacement RSU awards granted to acquired Eat24 employees was attributable to the pre-combination services of the Eat24 awardees and was included in the $281.7 million purchase price. This amount is reflected within goodwill in the purchase price allocation. As of the acquisition date, post-combination expense of approximately $4.1 million was expected to be recognized related to the replacement awards over the remaining post-combination service period.

On August 23, 2017, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and certain expressly specified liabilities of A&D Network Solutions, Inc. and Dashed, Inc. (collectively, “Foodler”). The purchase price for Foodler was $51.1 million in cash, net of cash acquired of $0.1 million. Foodler is an independent online food-ordering company with an established diner base in the Northeast United States. The acquisition expanded the breadth and depth of the Company’s restaurant network, active diners and delivery network.

The results of operations of Eat24 and Foodler have been included in the Company’s financial statements since October 10, 2017 and August 23, 2017, respectively.

The excess of the consideration transferred in the acquisitions over the net amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets was recorded as goodwill, which represents the value of increasing the breadth and depth of the Company’s network of restaurants and diners.

2016 Acquisitions

On May 5, 2016, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of KMLEE Investments Inc. and LABite.com, Inc. (collectively, “LABite”). The purchase price for LABite was $65.8 million in cash, net of cash acquired of $2.6 million. LABite provides online and mobile food ordering and delivery services for restaurants in numerous western and southwestern cities of the United States. The acquisition expanded the Company’s restaurant, diner and delivery networks.

The results of operations of LABite have been included in the Company’s financial statements since May 5, 2016.

The excess of the consideration transferred in the acquisition 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 partners. Of the $40.2 million of goodwill related to the acquisition, $5.0 million is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed of LABite were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the closing date of May 5, 2016. The following table summarizes the final purchase price allocation acquisition-date fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired in connection with the LABite acquisition:

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, developed technology and trademarks as follows:

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.

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 consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 of $6.9 million, $5.6 million, and $2.0 million, respectively.

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 (the “Court”), Case No. 3:11-cv-1810 (“’1810 action”). 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 December 31, 2018, 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 October 10, 2017, the Company entered into a credit agreement which provided, among other things, for aggregate revolving loans up to $225 million and term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $125 million (the “Previous Credit Agreement”). In addition, the Company was permitted to incur up to $150 million of incremental revolving loans or incremental term loans pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Previous Credit Agreement. The credit facility under the Previous Credit Agreement was due to expire on October 9, 2022. There were no changes in the terms of the Previous Credit Agreement during the year ended December 31, 2018, however, the Company refinanced the Previous Credit Agreement on February 6, 2019 (see Note 16, Subsequent Events, for additional details).

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company borrowed $222.0 million of revolving loans under the Previous Credit Agreement. The Company utilized the revolving loan proceeds to finance a portion of the purchase price and transaction costs in connection with the acquisitions of Tapingo and LevelUp. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company made principal payments of $53.9 million from cash on hand. As of December 31, 2018, outstanding borrowings under the Previous Credit Agreement were $342.3 million. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt approximates its carrying value as of December 31, 2018 (see Note 15, Fair Value Measurement, for additional details).

Under the Previous Credit Agreement, borrowings bore interest, at the Company’s option, based on LIBOR or an alternate base rate plus a margin. In the case of LIBOR loans, the margin ranged between 1.25% and 2.00% and, in the case of alternate base rate loans, between 0.25% and 1.0%, in each case, based upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Previous Credit Agreement). The Company was also required to pay a commitment fee on the undrawn portion available under the revolving loan facility of between 0.20% and 0.30% per annum, based upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio.

 

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, total unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively, were recorded as other assets and as a reduction of long-term debt on the 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 Previous Credit Agreement. During the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized interest expense of $7.5 million, $2.1 million, and $0.6 million, respectively. The effective interest rate, including amortization of debt issuance costs and commitment fees, for borrowings under the Previous Credit Agreement for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was 3.82% and 3.00%, respectively.

The obligations under the Previous Credit Agreement and the guarantees were secured by a lien on substantially all of the tangible and intangible property of the Company and the domestic subsidiaries that are guarantors, and by a pledge of all of the equity interests of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Previous Credit Agreement.

The Previous Credit Agreement contained customary covenants that, among other things, required the Company to satisfy certain financial covenants and restricted the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends and make distributions, make certain investments and acquisitions, create liens, transfer and sell material assets and merge or consolidate. The Company was in compliance with the covenants as of December 31, 2018.

Future maturities of principal payments, excluding potential early payments, as of December 31, 2018 under the Previous Credit Agreement were as follows:

Stock-Based Compensation

10. Stock-Based Compensation

In May 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved the Grubhub Inc. 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), pursuant to which the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance awards and other stock-based and cash-based awards. On May 20, 2015, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 to register up to 14,256,901 shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2015 Plan. Effective May 20, 2015, no further grants will be made under the Company’s 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”). As of December 31, 2018, there were 3,729,176 shares of common stock authorized and available for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2015 Plan. On November 7, 2018 and September 14, 2018, the Company filed registration statements on Form S-8 to register up to 91,338 and 236,414 shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to unvested assumed stock options granted under the respective incentive plans previously established by Tapingo and LevelUp. No further grants will be made under the assumed Tapingo and LevelUp incentive plans. The Board of Directors of the Company and committee or subcommittee of the Board of Directors has discretion to establish the terms and conditions for grants, including, but not limited to, the number of shares and vesting and forfeiture provisions.

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 units and restricted stock awards. For all stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2018, the exercise price of the stock options equals the fair value of the stock option on the grant date. The stock options and restricted stock units vest over different lengths of time, but generally over 4 years, and are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to vesting. The maximum term for stock options issued to employees under the 2015 Plan, the 2013 Plan and the assumed Tapingo and LevelUp incentive plans is 10 years, and they expire 10 years from the date of grant. Compensation expense for stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards is recognized ratably over the vesting period.

The rights granted to the recipient of a restricted stock unit generally accrue over the vesting period. Participants holding restricted stock units are not entitled to any ordinary cash dividends paid by the Company with respect to such shares unless otherwise provided by the terms of the award. The Company does not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.

The recipient of a restricted stock award shall have all of the rights of a holder of shares of the Company’s common stock, including the right to receive dividends, if any, the right to vote such shares and, upon the full vesting of the restricted stock awards, the right to tender such shares. The payment of any dividends will be deferred until the restricted stock awards have fully vested. The Company’s restricted stock awards generally vest over 2 years and are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to vesting unless otherwise provided in the terms of the award agreement.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

The total stock-based compensation expense related to all stock-based awards was $55.3 million, $32.7 million and $23.6 million during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, $169.4 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 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 awards and restricted stock units in excess of the deferred tax assets that were previously recorded. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation of $15.9 million and $7.1 million, respectively, within income tax (benefit) expense on the consolidated statements of operations and within cash flows from operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company reported excess tax benefits as a decrease in cash flows from operations and an increase in cash flows from financing activities of $24.9 million. The change in presentation of excess tax benefits effective for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 is a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09.

 

The Company capitalized stock-based compensation expense as website and software development costs of $9.0 million, $4.5 million and $2.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Stock Options

The Company granted 347,891, 618,899 and 166,272 stock options under the 2015 Plan during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. In 2018, the Company also assumed 327,752 unvested ISOs with the acquisitions of LevelUp and Tapingo. 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. Beginning in the first quarter of 2018, 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 years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

(a)

Prior to the first quarter of 2018, the expected stock price volatility was 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 as there was no active external or internal market for the Company’s common stock prior to the Company’s initial public offering in April 2014.

 

 

(b)

The expected term for Tapingo and LevelUp assumed ISO awards was calculated based on their respective remaining vesting periods as of the acquisition date. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the expected term of option awards was estimated using a simplified method due to the limited period of time stock-based awards had been exercisable.

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. The aggregate intrinsic value of assumed Tapingo and LevelUp ISOs as of December 31, 2018 was approximately $13.1 million. 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 years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 was $38.7 million, $19.5 million and $30.2 million, respectively.

The Company recorded compensation expense for stock options of $17.7 million, $11.8 million and $12.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, total unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested stock options was $34.2 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years, including aggregate remaining post-combination expense of approximately $11.7 million expected to be recognized related to the assumed Tapingo and LevelUp ISO awards.

Compensation expense related to restricted stock units was $37.6 million, $20.9 million and $9.6 million during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The aggregate fair value as of the vest date of restricted stock units that vested during years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016 was $96.3 million, $27.3 million and $5.8 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, $135.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to 2,316,461 non-vested restricted stock units expected to vest with weighted-average grant date fair values of $67.14 is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.0 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.

Each of the compensation expense recognized and the vest date aggregate fair value of vested awards related to restricted stock awards was $1.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2016. There were no non-vested restricted stock awards or related expense during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. As of December 31, 2018, there were no remaining non-vested restricted stock awards or related unrecognized compensation cost.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. legislature enacted the Tax Act resulting in significant modifications to the tax law. The Company completed its determination of the accounting effects of the Tax Act in the period it was enacted. The Tax Act reduced the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, subjected certain foreign earnings on which U.S. income tax was previously deferred to a one-time transition tax, as well as other changes. As a result of the Tax Act, the Company incurred an incremental income tax benefit of $34.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2017, which consisted primarily of the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities at the 21% corporate income tax rate and the one-time transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings of $0.4 million.

The tax effects of temporary differences giving rise to deferred income tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:

The Company classified its net deferred tax liabilities as long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.

A partial valuation reserve of $8.4 million and $4.8 million was recorded as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, against certain state-only credits as those credits have a short carryover period and the Company believes that this portion of the credit carryovers will more likely than not expire before they are utilized. The Company also recorded a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2018 of $15.4 million on Israeli net operating losses (“NOLs”) as it is more likely than not that these will not be utilized.

The Tax Act generally allows companies to repatriate future foreign source earnings without incurring additional U.S. taxes by providing a 100% exemption for the foreign source portion of dividends from certain foreign subsidiaries. As a result, the Company plans to repatriate cash from its foreign subsidiaries to the U.S. in the future. The Company estimated no additional tax liability as there are no applicable withholding taxes for the repatriation of unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries.

The Company had the following tax loss and credit carryforwards as of December 31, 2018 and 2017:

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

The adoption of ASU 2016-09 resulted in a $2.6 million cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings, including the federal benefit of state taxes, on the consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2017.

In July 2018, the examination in New York for corporate income tax returns for the tax years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016 was completed with no material findings. The Company does not expect any material additional tax liabilities, penalties and/or interest as a result of the audit. The Company’s tax returns are subject to the normal statute of limitations, three years from the filing date for federal income tax purposes. The federal and state statute of limitations generally remain open for years in which tax losses are generated until three years from the year those losses are utilized. Under these rules, the 2006 and later year NOLs of Slick City Media, Inc. are still subject to audit by the IRS and state and local jurisdictions. Also, the 2007 and later year NOLs of Grubhub Holdings Inc. and its acquired businesses are still subject to audit by the IRS and state and local jurisdictions. The December 31, 2015 and later period U.K. returns of Seamless Europe Ltd. are subject to examination by the U.K. tax authorities. The December 31, 2014 and later period Israeli returns of Tapingo Ltd. are subject to exam by the Israeli tax authorities.

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes and recording the related income tax assets and liabilities. The Company’s practice for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes is to recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not criteria, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

The following table summarizes the Company’s unrecognized tax benefit activity during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, excluding the related accrual for interest:

Included in the net deferred tax liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 were deferred tax assets that relate to the potential settlement of these unrecognized tax benefits. As of December 31, 2018, the remaining reserve related to the Company’s New York and New York City unitary position for the year ending December 31, 2014 was reversed due to the closing of the statute of limitations. The remaining reserve relates to research and development credits.

 

The Company records interest and penalties, if any, as a component of its income tax (benefit) expense in the consolidated statements of operations. No interest expense or penalties were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2018. Interest expense of less than $0.1 million and no penalties were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2017.

Equity [Abstract]  
Stockholders' Equity

12. Stockholders’ Equity

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company was authorized to issue two classes of stock: common stock and preferred stock.

Common Stock

Each holder of common stock has one vote per share of common stock held on all matters that are submitted for stockholder vote. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were 500,000,000 shares of common stock authorized. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were 90,756,548 and 86,790,624 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively. The Company did not hold any shares as treasury shares as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.

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 (the “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 authorized but unissued 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 years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock. In 2016, the Company repurchased and retired 724,473 shares of its common stock at a weighted-average share price of $20.37, or an aggregate of $14.8 million.

Preferred Stock

The Company was authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. There were no issued or outstanding shares of preferred stock as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Earnings Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

14. 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.

The sale of 2,820,464 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Investor on April 25, 2018 resulted in an immediate increase in the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2018 (see Note 12, Stockholders’ Equity).

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-09, the treasury stock method calculation of weighted-average dilutive shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2016 included the estimated impact of tax benefits and deficiencies.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company repurchased and retired 724,473 shares of its common stock at a weighted-average share price of $20.37, or an aggregate of $14.8 million. The repurchases resulted in a reduction of the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted net earnings per share from the dates of the repurchases. See Note 12, Stockholders' Equity, for additional details.

The number of shares of common stock underlying stock-based awards excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders because their effect would have been antidilutive for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

Fair Value Measurement

Dec. 31, 2018
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Measurement

15. 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 December 31, 2018 and 2017:

Subsequent Events

16. Subsequent Events

 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 loans or incremental term loans pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. The credit facility will be available to the Company until February 5, 2024. The Credit Agreement replaced the Company’s $350.0 million Previous Credit Agreement.

Under the Credit Agreement, borrowings bear interest, at the Company’s option, based on LIBOR or an alternate base rate plus a margin. In the case of LIBOR loans the margin ranges between 1.125% and 1.175% and, in the case of alternate base rate loans, between 0.125% and 0.75%, in each case, based upon the Company’s consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee on the undrawn portion available under the revolving loan facility of between 0.150% and 0.275% per annum, based upon the Company’s consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio.

The obligations under the Credit Agreement and the guarantees are secured by a lien on substantially all of the tangible and intangible property of the Company and the domestic subsidiaries that are guarantors, and by a pledge of all of the equity interests of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Credit Agreement.

As of the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement were $342.3 million, including $325.0 million of term loans and $17.3 million of revolving loans. Additional capacity under the Credit Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes.

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that, among other things, require the Company to satisfy certain financial covenants and may restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends and make distributions, make certain investments and acquisitions, create liens, transfer and sell material assets and merge or consolidate. 

The Company incurred loan origination fees at closing of the Credit Agreement and other expenses related to the financing of the facility of $1.5 million, which, in addition to $1.8 million of the remaining unamortized balance of loan origination costs under the Previous Credit Agreement, will be deferred on the consolidated balance sheets and amortized over the term of the new facility.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The consolidated statements of operations include the results of entities acquired from the dates of the acquisitions for accounting purposes.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC Topic 606”) using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC Topic 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with historical accounting guidance under ASC Topic 605. See Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Note 3, Revenue, below for additional details.

Changes in Accounting Principle

Changes in Accounting Principle

See “Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements” below for a description of accounting principle changes adopted during the year ended December 31, 2018 related to revenue and the statement of cash flows.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity 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 and internal-use software development costs, goodwill, depreciable lives of property and equipment, recoverability of intangible assets with finite lives and other long-lived assets and stock-based compensation. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual results, the Company’s consolidated financial statements will be affected. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash includes demand deposits with banks or financial institutions. Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and that are so near their maturity that they present minimal risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. The Company’s cash equivalents include only investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company regularly maintains cash in excess of federally insured limits at financial institutions. Cash and cash equivalents excludes the Company’s restricted cash balances of $4.6 million and $4.1 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which are included within prepaid expenses and other current assets and other long term assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Marketable Securities

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist primarily of commercial paper and investment grade U.S. and non-U.S.-issued corporate debt securities. The Company invests in a diversified portfolio of marketable securities and limits the concentration of its investment in any particular security. Marketable securities with original maturities of three months or less are included in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities with original maturities greater than three months, but less than one year, are included in short term investments on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company determines the classification of its marketable securities as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity at the time of purchase and reassesses these determinations at each balance sheet date. Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has the intent to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost and are periodically assessed for other-than-temporary impairment. The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity, which is recognized as interest income within net interest (income) expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Interest income is recognized when earned.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of foreign currency translation adjustments. The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated from their functional currency into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at period end rates of exchange, and revenue and expenses are translated using average rates of exchange. The resulting gain or loss is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The useful lives are as follows:

 

 

 

Estimated Useful Life

Computer equipment

 

2-3 years

Furniture and fixtures

 

5 years

Developed software

 

1-3 years

Purchased software and digital assets

 

3-5 years

Leasehold improvements

 

Shorter of expected useful life or lease term

Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major improvements, which extend the useful life of the related asset, are capitalized. Upon disposal of a fixed asset, the Company records a gain or loss based on the difference between the proceeds received and the net book value of the disposed asset.

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts Receivable, Net

See Note 3, Revenue, below for a description of the Company’s accounts receivable accounting policy. 

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable primarily represent the net cash due from the Company’s payment processors for cleared transactions and amounts owed from corporate and other institutional customers and Enterprise restaurants, which are generally invoiced on a monthly basis. The carrying amount of the Company’s receivables is reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects management’s best estimate of amounts that will not be collected. These uncollected amounts are generally not recovered from the restaurants. The allowance is recorded through a charge to bad debt expense which is recognized within general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The allowance is based on historical loss experience and any specific risks, current or forecasted, identified in collection matters.

Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge against bad debt expense and a credit to an allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off against the allowance. The Company does not charge interest on trade receivables.

The Company incurs expenses for uncollected credit card receivables (or “chargebacks”), including fraudulent orders, when a diner’s card is authorized but fails to process, and for other unpaid credit card receivables. The majority of the Company’s chargeback expense is recorded directly to general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations as the charges are incurred; however, a portion of the allowance for doubtful accounts includes a reserve for estimated chargebacks on the net cash due from the Company’s payment processors as of the end of the period.

Changes in the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts for the periods presented were as follows:

Advertising Costs

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are generally expensed as incurred in connection with the requisite service period. Certain advertising production costs are capitalized and expensed when the advertisement first takes place. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, expenses attributable to advertising totaled approximately $170.3 million, $107.2 million and $75.5 million, respectively. Advertising costs are recorded in sales and marketing expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures compensation expense for all stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards, at fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation expense over the service period on a straight-line basis for awards expected to vest.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value for stock options. Management has determined the Black-Scholes fair value of stock option awards and related stock-based compensation expense with the assistance of third-party valuations. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires judgment. The determination of the grant date fair value of options using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s estimated common stock fair value as well as assumptions regarding a number of other complex and subjective variables. If any of the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model changes significantly, stock-based compensation for future awards may differ materially compared with the awards granted previously.

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions, including the expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock, which determine the fair value of stock-based awards. These assumptions include:

 

Risk-free rate. Risk-free interest rates are derived from U.S. Treasury securities as of the option grant date.

 

Expected dividend yields. Expected dividend yields are based on our historical dividend payments, which have been zero to date (excluding the preferred stock tax distributions made by Seamless Holdings prior to 2015).

 

Volatility. Beginning in the first quarter of 2018, expected volatility is based on the historical and implied volatilities of the Company’s own common stock. Prior to 2018, the expected stock price volatility was based on a combination of the historical and implied volatilities of comparable publicly-traded companies and the historical volatility of our common stock due to our limited trading history as there was no active external or internal market for our common stock prior to the Company’s initial public offering in April 2014.

 

Expected term. Beginning in the first quarter of 2017, the expected term calculation for option awards considers a combination of the Company’s historical and estimated future exercise behavior. Prior to 2017, the Company applied a simplified method which estimated the weighted-average expected life of the options as the average of the vesting option schedule and the term of the award due to insufficient historical exercise data as a result of the limited period of time stock-based awards had been exercisable.

 

Forfeiture rate. Forfeiture rates are estimated using historical actual forfeiture trends as well as our judgment of future forfeitures. These rates are evaluated at least annually and any change in compensation expense is recognized in the period of the change. The estimation of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment and, to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from our current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period in which the estimates are revised. The Company considers many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including the types of awards and employee class. Actual results, and future changes in estimates, may differ substantially from management’s current estimates.

See Note 10, Stock-Based Compensation, for the weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016.

Prior to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”) in 2017, the Company elected to use the with-and-without method in determining the order in which tax attributes are utilized. As a result, the Company only recognized a tax benefit for stock-based awards in additional paid-in capital if an incremental tax benefit was realized after all other tax attributes available to the Company had been utilized. Beginning in the first quarter of 2017, the Company recognizes tax benefits and deficiencies for stock-based awards in income tax (benefit) expense within the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 10, Stock-Based Compensation, for further discussion.

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense

Income Tax (Benefit) Expense

Income tax (benefit) expense is determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated based upon the temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates that are applicable in a given year. The utilization of deferred tax assets is limited by the amount of taxable income expected to be generated within the allowable carryforward period and other factors. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount management believes is more likely than not to be realized. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, a valuation allowance of $23.8 million and $4.8 million, respectively, was recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. See Note 11, Income Taxes, for additional information.

The Company utilizes a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions (“tax contingencies”). The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments, and which may not accurately forecast actual outcomes.

Management believes that it is more likely than not that forecasted income, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, will be sufficient to fully recover the net deferred tax assets. In the event the Company determines that all or part of the net deferred tax assets are not realizable in the future, we will adjust the valuation allowance with the adjustment recognized as expense in the period in which such determination is made. The calculation of income tax liabilities involves significant judgment in estimating the impact of uncertainties and complex tax laws. In addition, the Company’s tax returns are subject to audit by various U.S. and foreign tax authorities. Resolution of these uncertainties in a manner inconsistent with our expectations could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Due to the reduced cost of repatriating unremitted earnings as a result of U.S. tax legislation signed into law in December of 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), the Company plans to repatriate cash from the U.K. to the U.S. The Company estimated no additional tax liability as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 as there are no applicable withholding taxes for the transaction. Management regularly evaluates whether foreign earnings are expected to be permanently reinvested. This evaluation requires judgment about the future operating and liquidity needs of the Company’s foreign subsidiary. Changes in economic and business conditions, foreign or U.S. tax laws, or the Company’s financial situation could result in changes in these judgments and the need to record additional tax liabilities.

The Company includes interest and penalties related to tax contingencies in the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. Management does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next twelve months.

Intangible Assets

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment. The Company evaluates intangible assets with finite and indefinite useful lives and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that they may not be recoverable, or at least annually. If management determines in its qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not that the assets may not be recoverable, the recoverability of finite and other long-lived assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset group to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by that asset group. The Company groups assets for purposes of such review at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows of the asset group are largely independent of the cash flows of the other groups of assets and liabilities. The amount of impairment to be recognized for finite and indefinite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets is calculated as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the asset group, generally measured by discounting estimated future cash flows. There were no impairment indicators present during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 or 2016.

Website and Software Development Costs

Website and Software Development Costs

The costs incurred in the preliminary stages of website and software development are expensed as incurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct and incremental and deemed by management to be significant, are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the application. Maintenance and enhancement costs, including those costs in the post-implementation stages, are typically expensed as incurred, unless such costs relate to substantial upgrades and enhancements to the website or software that result in added functionality, in which case the costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives. Amortization expense related to capitalized website and software development costs is included in depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company capitalized $41.1 million, $26.0 million and $15.6 million of website development costs during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Goodwill

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the assets acquired at the date of acquisition. The Company’s methodology for allocating the purchase price of acquisitions is based on established valuation techniques that consider a number of factors, including valuations performed by third-party appraisers. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had $1,019.2 million in goodwill on its consolidated balance sheets. The Company assesses the impairment of goodwill at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. Absent any special circumstances that could require an interim test, the Company has elected to test for goodwill impairment at September 30 of each year. The Company has one reporting unit in testing goodwill for impairment.

In testing goodwill for impairment, the Company may elect to utilize a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment indicates that goodwill impairment is more likely than not, the Company performs a quantitative impairment test. The Company would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, if any, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.

Management determined the fair value of the Company as of September 30, 2018 by using a market-based approach that utilized our market capitalization, as adjusted for factors such as a control premium. After consideration of the Company’s market capitalization, business growth and other factors, management determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Company exceeded its carrying amount at September 30, 2018 and that further analysis was not required.

Additionally, as part of the interim review for indicators of impairment, management analyzed potential changes in value based on operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2018 compared to expected results. Management also considered how the Company’s market capitalization, business growth and other factors used in the September 30, 2018 impairment analysis, could be impacted by changes in market conditions and economic events. For example, the fair market value of the Company’s stock has decreased since September 30, 2018. Management considered these trends in performing its assessment of whether an interim impairment review was required. Based on this interim assessment, management concluded that as of December 31, 2018, there were no events or changes in circumstances that indicated it was more likely than not that the Company’s fair value was below its carrying value.

The Company determined there was no goodwill impairment during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. Nevertheless, significant changes in global economic and market conditions could result in changes to expectations of future financial results and key valuation assumptions. Such changes could result in revisions of management’s estimates of the Company’s fair value and could result in a material impairment of goodwill.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt Issuance Costs

The Company has incurred debt issuance costs in connection with its debt facilities and related amendments. Amounts paid directly to lenders are classified as issuance costs. Commitment fees and other costs directly associated with obtaining credit facilities are deferred financing costs which are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets and amortized over the term of the facility. The Company allocates deferred debt issuance costs incurred for its current credit facility between the revolver and term loan based on their relative borrowing capacity. Deferred debt issuance costs associated with the revolving credit facility are recorded within other assets and those associated with the term loan are recorded as a reduction of the carrying value of the debt on the consolidated balance sheets. All deferred debt issuance costs are amortized using the effective interest rate method to interest expense within net interest (income) expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. See Note 9, Debt, for additional details.

Fair Value

Fair Value

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. See Note 15, Fair Value Measurement, for details of the fair value hierarchy and the related inputs used by the Company.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company had no customers which accounted for more than 10% of revenue or accounts receivable.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

See Note 3, Revenue, below for a description of the Company’s revenue recognition policy.

Deferred Rent

Deferred Rent

For the Company’s operating leases, the Company recognizes rent expenses on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Accordingly, the Company records the difference between cash rent payments and the recognition of rent expenses as a deferred rent liability within other accruals in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company also has landlord-funded leasehold improvements that are recorded as tenant allowances, which are being amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the noncancelable terms of the operating leases. Deferred rent and tenant allowances recorded as of December 31, 2018 will be impacted by changes in accounting pronouncements that became effective in the first quarter of 2019. See Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements below for additional information.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-15, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract” (“ASU 2018-15”). ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in hosting arrangements that are service contracts and that include an internal-use software license with the requirement for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The capitalized implementation costs are required to be expensed over the term of the hosting arrangement. The guidance also clarifies the presentation requirements for reporting such costs in the entity’s financial statements. The Company early adopted ASU 2018-15 beginning in the third quarter of 2018. The amendments have been applied prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The adoption of ASU 2018-15 has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting” (“ASU 2017-09”). ASU 2017-09 provides clarification on when modification accounting should be used for changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. ASU 2017-09 does not change the accounting for modifications but clarifies that modification accounting guidance should only be applied if there is a change to the value, vesting conditions, or award classification and would not be required if the changes are considered non-substantive. ASU 2017-09 was effective for and adopted by the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018 on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2017-09 has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 adds or clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows with the intent of reducing diversity in practice related to eight types of cash flows including, among others, debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. In addition, in November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash” (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires companies to include amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flow. ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 were effective for and adopted by the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018. The amendments were applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented and impacted the Company’s presentation of the consolidated statements of cash flows. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as the Company’s restricted cash balances are immaterial.

In June 2016, 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, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), which established Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 (“ASC Topic 842”). Under ASC Topic 842, a lessee will recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease under ASU 2016-02 will not significantly change from current GAAP. ASU 2016-02 is effective beginning in the first quarter of 2019 with early adoption permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-11 “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements” (“ASU 2018-11”), which provides for the election of transition methods between the modified retrospective method and the optional transition relief method. The modified retrospective method is applied to all prior reporting periods presented with a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded in the earliest comparative period while the optional transition relief method is applied beginning in the period of adoption with a cumulative-effect adjustment recorded in the first quarter of 2019. The Company will apply the optional transition relief method and has elected the optional practical expedient package, which includes retaining the current classification of leases. Under ASC Topic 842, the Company expects to record in the consolidated balances sheets as of January 1, 2019, right of use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases entered into prior to December 31, 2018 of approximately $80 million to $95 million. The adoption of ASC Topic 842 has a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, but management anticipates that it will have no material impact to its results of operations or cash flows.   

In May 2014, and in subsequent updates, the FASB issued ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific requirements. ASC Topic 606 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. ASC Topic 606 also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. ASC Topic 606 was effective for and adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2018. The Company applied the modified retrospective approach to contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASC Topic 606 did not have and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows or its business processes, systems and controls.

The adoption of ASC Topic 606 resulted in an increase in revenues of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 and primarily had the following impact on the Company’s financial statements:

 

Beginning in January 1, 2018, the Company defers the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as contract acquisition assets resulting in a net decrease of $9.0 million in sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and corresponding increase in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Contract acquisition assets are amortized to sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the period in which services are expected to be provided to the customer, which is estimated to be approximately 4 years. Prior to the adoption of ASC Topic 606, the cost of obtaining a contract was recognized as it was incurred.

 

Beginning in the first quarter of 2018, the Company recognizes revenue from estimated unredeemed gift cards that are not subject to unclaimed property laws over the expected customer redemption period, rather than when the likelihood of redemption became remote. The Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2018 of $0.9 million related to unredeemed gift cards, breakage income of $1.1 million in revenues in the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2018 and a corresponding decrease in other accruals of $2.0 million on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

Changes in the timing of revenue recognition under ASC Topic 606 related to incentives, refunds and adjustments resulted in a $0.1 million increase in revenues in the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

The adoption of ASC Topic 606 had no impact to the Company’s total net cash provided by or used in operations, investing or financing activities within the Company’s consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018.

See Note 3, Revenue, for additional details.

Deferred Revenues

Deferred Revenues

The Company’s deferred revenues consist primarily of gift card liabilities, certain incentive liabilities as well as customer billings for professional services recognized ratably over the subscription period. These amounts are included within other accruals on the consolidated balance sheets and are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position. The majority of gift cards and incentives issued by the Company are redeemed within a year.

(a)

Prior to the first quarter of 2018, the expected stock price volatility was 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 as there was no active external or internal market for the Company’s common stock prior to the Company’s initial public offering in April 2014.

 

 

(b)

The expected term for Tapingo and LevelUp assumed ISO awards was calculated based on their respective remaining vesting periods as of the acquisition date. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the expected term of option awards was estimated using a simplified method due to the limited period of time stock-based awards had been exercisable.

Expected stock option life (years) [2] 3 years 6 months 3 days 4 years 5 years 10 months 2 days
[1] Prior to the first quarter of 2018, the expected stock price volatility was 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 as there was no active external or internal market for the Company’s common stock prior to the Company’s initial public offering in April 2014.
[2] The expected term for Tapingo and LevelUp assumed ISO awards was calculated based on their respective remaining vesting periods as of the acquisition date. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the expected term of option awards was estimated using a simplified method due to the limited period of time stock-based awards had been exercisable.
