1. Organization and Reorganization

Organization

GrubHub Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”) provide an online and mobile platform for restaurant pick-up and delivery orders. Diners enter their location through an online interface and the Company displays the menus and other relevant information for restaurants in its network. Orders may be placed directly online or over the phone at no cost to the diner. The Company charges the restaurant a per order commission that is largely fee based.

Initial Public Offering

On April 4, 2014, the Company completed an initial public offering (the “IPO”) in which it issued and sold 4,000,000 shares of class A common stock at a public offering price of $26.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of $94.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $6.5 million and other offering expenses of approximately $2.6 million. These expenses were recorded against the proceeds received from the IPO.

Certain selling stockholders offered an additional 3,405,614 shares of common stock in the IPO and also granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to 1,110,842 additional shares of common stock. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares sold by the selling stockholders.

Upon the closing of the IPO, all shares of the Company’s then-outstanding convertible Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted into an aggregate of 19,284,113 shares of common stock. Additionally, the put rights for the Company’s redeemable common stock were terminated upon the closing of the IPO.

Follow-on Offering

On September 3, 2014, the Company completed a follow-on offering in which it issued and sold 1,250,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $40.25 per share. The Company received net proceeds of $48.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $1.9 million and other offering expenses of approximately $0.4 million. These expenses were recorded against the proceeds received from the follow-on offering.

Certain selling stockholders offered an additional 9,218,198 shares of common stock. These selling stockholders also granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to 1,570,229 additional shares of common stock, which was not exercised. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares sold by the selling stockholders.

The Company invested the funds received from the IPO and the follow-on offering in non-interest bearing accounts, short-term interest-bearing obligations and investment-grade investments.

Reorganization and History

On August 8, 2013, GrubHub Inc. acquired, through a series of transactions, all of the equity interests of each of Seamless North America, LLC, Seamless Holdings Corporation (“Seamless Holdings”) and GrubHub Holdings Inc. pursuant to that certain Reorganization and Contribution Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2013, by and among GrubHub Inc., Seamless North America, LLC, Seamless Holdings, GrubHub Holdings Inc. and the other parties thereto (the “Reorganization Agreement”). Following this transaction, the Company concluded that Seamless Holdings was deemed the acquirer for financial reporting purposes. See Note 3, Acquisitions, for additional details. Accordingly, the acquisition of GrubHub Holdings Inc. has been accounted for as a business combination. The results of operations of GrubHub Holdings Inc. have been included in the Company’s financial statements since August 9, 2013. In February 2014, GrubHub Seamless Inc. was renamed GrubHub Inc.

The financial position and results of operations of Seamless Holdings and Seamless North America, LLC have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

Significant Accounting Policies
Significant Accounting Policies

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of GrubHub Inc. and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all wholly owned subsidiaries and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments, as well as any other than normal adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933 on September 5, 2014 (the “Prospectus”). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist primarily of commercial paper and investment grade U.S. and non-U.S.-issued corporate debt securities with maturities within one year of the balance sheet date. 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 balance sheet. 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 positive 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 general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Interest income is recognized when earned.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Estimates include revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, website development costs, goodwill, depreciable lives of property and equipment, recoverability of intangible assets with definite lives and other long-lived assets and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Reverse Stock Split Ratio

On April 2, 2014, the Company effected a 1-for-2 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock and preferred stock. Any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. All share and per-share amounts for all periods presented in these financial statements have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the reverse stock split.

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Prospectus.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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

In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”), which requires that a liability related to an unrecognized tax benefit be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward that the entity intends to use and is available for settlement at the reporting date. ASU 2013-11 was effective for and adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2014 and applied prospectively to unrecognized tax benefits that existed at the effective date. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 impacted the Company’s financial statement presentation and disclosures, but otherwise did not impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

3. Acquisitions

GrubHub Holdings Inc.

On August 8, 2013, the Company acquired all of the equity interests of each of Seamless North America, LLC, Seamless Holdings and GrubHub Holdings Inc. pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement. In February 2014, GrubHub, Inc. changed its name to GrubHub Holdings Inc. The Company issued 23,318,580 shares of common stock and 8,098,430 shares of preferred stock to GrubHub Holdings Inc. in exchange for all of GrubHub Holdings Inc.’s equity interests (the “Merger”). The Company concluded that Seamless Holdings was deemed the acquirer for financial reporting purposes based on key deciding factors such as a majority ownership and majority of the board of director seats. Accordingly, the acquisition of GrubHub Holdings Inc. has been accounted for as a business combination. The results of operations of GrubHub Holdings Inc. have been included in the Company’s financial statements since August 9, 2013. GrubHub Holdings Inc. provides online food ordering through its website grubhub.com, and also operates allmenus.com, a website that stores and displays approximately 275,000 menus. The Merger has expanded the Company’s existing markets and access to new customers and created revenue and cost synergies which management believes will contribute to future profits.

The fair value of the equity issued to GrubHub Holdings Inc. in connection with the Merger was approximately $421.5 million. The value of the equity was determined using the estimated fair value of the stock of GrubHub Holdings Inc. at the merger date based on a valuation of GrubHub Holdings Inc. performed by management. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values as of August 8, 2013. The fair value of the equity of $421.5 million included approximately $11.0 million related to the fair value of the replacement awards that were attributed to the pre-combination service period for GrubHub Holdings Inc. option holders. The fair value of the replacement awards was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Post combination expense of $12.5 million is expected to be recognized post-Merger for the unrecognized compensation expense related to GrubHub Holdings Inc. stock options. See Note 8, Stock-Based Compensation, for further details.

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 existing markets and access new customers and to create revenue and cost synergies that management believes will contribute to future profits. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company incurred certain expenses directly and indirectly related to the Merger of $1.3 million and $4.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, which were recognized in general and administrative expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table summarizes the August 8, 2013 acquisition-date fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired in connection with the GrubHub Holdings Inc. business combination:

The estimated fair values of the intangible assets acquired were determined based on a combination of the income, cost, and market approaches to measure the fair value of the customer (restaurant) relationships, developed technology and trademarks. The fair value of the trademarks was measured based on the relief from royalty method. The cost approach, specifically the cost to recreate method, was used to value the developed technology. The income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method, was used to value the customer (restaurant) relationships. These fair value measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal

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

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

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

No trial date has been set for this case. The Company believes this case lacks merit and that it has strong defenses to all of the infringement claims. The Company intends to defend the suit vigorously. However, the Company is unable to predict the likelihood of success of Ameranth’s infringement claims and is unable to predict the likelihood of success of its counterclaims. The Company has not recorded an accrual related to this lawsuit as of September 30, 2014, as it does not believe a material loss is probable. It is a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred; however, the possible range of loss is not estimable given the early stage of the dispute and the uncertainty as to whether the claims at issue are with or without merit, will be settled out of court, or will be determined in the Company’s favor, whether the Company may be required to expend significant management time and financial resources on the defense of such claims, and whether the Company will be able to recover any losses under its insurance policies.

In addition to the matters described above, from time to time, the Company is involved in various other legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business activities. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had reserved $0.2 million for such litigation, which included an aggregate reserve of $0.6 million less an expected insurance recovery of $0.4 million.

Indemnification

In connection with the Merger, the Company agreed to indemnify Aramark Holdings for negative income tax consequences associated with the October 2012 spin-off of Seamless Holdings that were the result of certain actions taken by the Company, including its solicitation of acquirers to purchase the Company prior to October 29, 2014, and in certain other instances, subject to a $15.0 million limitation. Management is not aware of any actions that would impact the indemnification obligation.

Restructuring

On November 20, 2013, the Company announced plans to close its Sandy, Utah office location in 2014. The Company recorded a restructuring accrual in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for severance and payroll related benefits and other facility closure costs as a result of the restructuring announcement. This amount represents the service vesting requirements for identified employees required to work for various periods beyond the communication date, including through the expected closure date of the facility of November 30, 2014, and related lease termination costs. The Company estimates total restructuring costs to be incurred will be approximately $1.2 million, including expense of $0.5 million recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2014 related to the termination of the Sandy, Utah office lease agreement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, restructuring expense of $0.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, was recognized in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation

8. Stock-Based Compensation

As part of the Reorganization Agreement, the Company was required to replace GrubHub Holdings Inc.’s share-based payment awards. The fair value of the replacement awards attributable to pre-combination services at the time of the Merger was approximately $11.0 million, which was included as additional consideration transferred in the business combination in the total purchase price of $421.5 million. The fair value of the replacement options attributable to post combination services was approximately $12.5 million and will be recognized as compensation cost in the Company’s post-Merger consolidated financial statements over the remaining vesting period.

The Company granted 1,838,073 and 3,669,958 stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The fair value of each stock option award was estimated based on the assumptions below as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of comparable publicly traded companies. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercises and employee terminations within the valuation model. Separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term of the award is estimated using a simplified method. The fair value at grant date was determined considering the performance of the Company at the grant date as well as future growth and profitability expectations by applying market and income approaches. The risk-free rate for the period within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The assumptions used to determine the fair value of the stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

There was no active external or internal market for the Company’s shares until April of 2014. Thus, it was not possible to estimate the expected volatility of the Company’s share price in estimating fair value of options granted. As a substitute for such volatility, the Company used the historical volatility of comparable companies.

 

Stock option awards as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, were as follows:

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 on September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their in-the-money options on each date. This amount will change in future periods based on the fair value of the Company’s stock and the number of options outstanding. The aggregate intrinsic value of awards exercised during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $35.7 million and $47.3 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of awards exercised during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

The stock options vest over different lengths of time depending upon the grantee. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period. The Company recorded compensation expense of $2.3 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $7.0 million and $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, total unrecognized compensation cost, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, related to non-vested stock options was $20.0 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.97 years.

Excess Tax Benefits

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company reported excess tax benefits as a decrease in cash flows from operations and an increase in cash flows from financing activities of $4.6 million. There were no excess tax benefits during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Excess tax benefits reflect the total of the individual stock option exercise transactions in which the reduction to the Company’s income tax liability is greater than the deferred tax assets that were previously recorded. The Company has elected to use the with-and-without method in determining the order in which tax attributes are utilized. As a result, the Company will only recognize a tax benefit for stock-based awards in additional paid-in capital if an incremental tax benefit is realized after all other tax attributes currently available to the Company have been utilized.

Stockholders' Equity
Stockholders' Equity

9. Stockholders’ Equity

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company was authorized to issue two classes of stock: common stock and Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock was convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as defined in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. The Company entered into a stockholders agreement in 2013 with certain stockholders. The agreement prevented those stockholders from transferring their shares without the consent of a majority of the stockholders.

On April 4, 2014, the Company completed the IPO in which the Company issued and sold 4,000,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $26.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of $94.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $6.5 million and other offering expenses of approximately $2.6 million. Upon the closing of the IPO, the stockholder’s agreement ceased to be in effect.

On September 3, 2014, the Company completed a follow-on offering in which it issued and sold 1,250,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $40.25 per share. The Company received net proceeds of $48.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $1.9 million and other offering expenses of approximately $0.4 million. These expenses were recorded against the proceeds received from the follow-on offering.

Common Stock

Each holder of common stock will have one vote per share of common stock held on all matters that are submitted for stockholder vote. Upon liquidation, the common stock was junior to the rights and preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock as of December 31, 2013. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were 500,000,000 and 165,000,000 shares of common stock authorized, respectively. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were 81,042,800 and 53,757,437 shares issued and outstanding, respectively. The Company did not hold any shares as treasury shares as of September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

Series A Preferred Stock

The Company was authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Upon the closing of the IPO on April 4, 2014, all shares of the Company’s then-outstanding convertible Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted on a one-for-one basis into an aggregate of 19,284,113 shares of common stock. There were no issued or outstanding shares of preferred stock as of September 30, 2014.

As of December 31, 2013, the 19,284,113 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock had a liquidation preference of an amount per share equal to the original Series A Preferred Stock issue price of approximately $86.2 million.

Redeemable Common Stock

The put rights that would have required the Company to repurchase the Company’s then outstanding redeemable common stock at fair value (as defined in the stockholders agreement) determined at the redemption date were terminated and the shares converted on a one-for-one basis into an aggregate of 1,344,236 shares common stock upon the closing of the IPO on April 4, 2014.

As of December 31, 2013, there were 1,344,236 shares of common stock with put rights. As the redemption price was equivalent to the fair value of the instrument, the Company adjusted the carrying value of the redeemable common stock to its fair value with an adjustment to equity. The fair value of the redeemable common stock was $18.4 million at December 31, 2013. The Company had an annual redemption limit of $4.0 million.

The Company’s equity as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, were as follows:

Earnings Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Earnings Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

10. Earnings Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, 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 using the treasury stock method and common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. Upon the closing of the IPO, all shares of the Company’s then-outstanding convertible Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted into an aggregate of 19,284,113 shares of common stock.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, 233,983 shares of common stock underlying stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders in each period because their effect would have been antidilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, 476,328 shares of common stock underlying stock options were excluded in each period because their effect would have been antidilutive.

Fair Value Measurement
Fair Value Measurement

11. 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: certain money market funds and certificates of deposit with original maturities of less than three months are considered highly liquid investments. The fair value measurement of these assets is based on quoted market prices in active markets and, therefore, these assets are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis and classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s commercial paper and 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. Redeemable common stock consisted of put rights the Company granted to certain shareholders which required common shares to be repurchased at fair value (as defined in the stockholders agreement) determined as of the redemption date. The fair value measurement of redeemable common stock is based on Level 3 inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy. Accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their generally short-term maturities.

The following table presents the balances of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

The fair value of the Company’s redeemable common stock, determined to be Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy, was measured based on the required redemption at the most recent fair value of the common stock. The put rights for the Company’s then outstanding redeemable common stock were terminated and the shares converted on a one-for-one basis into common stock upon the closing of the IPO on April 4, 2014.

In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company is required to record certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, generally as a result of acquisitions. See Note 3, Acquisitions, for further discussion of the fair value of assets and liabilities associated with acquisitions.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of GrubHub Inc. and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all wholly owned subsidiaries and reflect all normal and recurring adjustments, as well as any other than normal adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933 on September 5, 2014 (the “Prospectus”). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist primarily of commercial paper and investment grade U.S. and non-U.S.-issued corporate debt securities with maturities within one year of the balance sheet date. 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 balance sheet. 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 positive 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 general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Interest income is recognized when earned.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Estimates include revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, website development costs, goodwill, depreciable lives of property and equipment, recoverability of intangible assets with definite lives and other long-lived assets and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Reverse Stock Split Ratio

On April 2, 2014, the Company effected a 1-for-2 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock and preferred stock. Any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. All share and per-share amounts for all periods presented in these financial statements have been adjusted retroactively to reflect the reverse stock split.

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Prospectus.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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

In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”), which requires that a liability related to an unrecognized tax benefit be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward that the entity intends to use and is available for settlement at the reporting date. ASU 2013-11 was effective for and adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2014 and applied prospectively to unrecognized tax benefits that existed at the effective date. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 impacted the Company’s financial statement presentation and disclosures, but otherwise did not impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

There was no active external or internal market for the Company’s shares until April of 2014. Thus, it was not possible to estimate the expected volatility of the Company’s share price in estimating fair value of options granted. As a substitute for such volatility, the Company used the historical volatility of comparable companies.
