Waitr Reports Third Quarter 2021 Results

Waitr Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: WTRH) (“Waitr” or the “Company”), a leader in on-demand ordering and delivery, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Third Quarter 2021 Highlights

  • Revenue for the third quarter of 2021 was $43.4 million, compared to $52.7 million in the third quarter of 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, revenue was $143.5 million, compared to $157.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
  • Net income for the third quarter of 2021 was $12.3 million, compared to net income of $4.6 million in the third quarter of 2020. Net income per share for the third quarter of 2021 was $0.09 compared to net income per share for the third quarter of 2020 of $0.04.
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 for the third quarter of 2021 was $3.1 million, compared to $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2021 and $13.0 million in the third quarter of 2020.
  • In the third quarter of 2021, we continued to invest in technology and integrations in several key areas of the business, with the expectation of positioning ourselves for long-term growth.

Mr. Grimstad noted, “We continue to recover from the third quarter hurricanes that affected our core Southeast markets and financial results. Despite these events, Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2021 increased by 24% from Adjusted EBITDA of $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2021 primarily as a result of increased operational efficiencies.”

Additionally, Mr. Grimstad emphasized, “Our strategy is to expand our ecosystem, which today is comprised of our restaurants, diners and independent contractor drivers through the enhancement of our platforms and providing additional products and services. During the quarter we announced the acquisition of several payments companies, ProMerchant LLC, Cape Cod Merchant Services LLC and Flow Payments LLC, which is consistent with this strategy. We have continued to make progress this quarter in offering this enhanced product suite to our ecosystem.”

“We strive to provide quality service to our restaurant partners and diners while also focusing on our recruiting and retention efforts to ensure that our independent contractor driver base remains at appropriate levels to meet the delivery demands in each of the markets where we operate. Additionally, we continued to invest in product and engineering personnel as we continue to enhance our technology platform,” added Mr. Grimstad.

“Investments in integrations such as Olo, a major digital food ordering platform for the restaurant industry, that was recently completed along with other integrations that we expect to be completed in the near future will help position the company for the long term. As we near the end of 2021, we continue to focus our efforts on our long-term business strategy of servicing our ecosystem of restaurants, diners and independent contractor drivers,” concluded Mr. Grimstad.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE

ADJUSTED EBITDA

(In thousands)

(Unaudited)

Adjusted EBITDA is not required by, nor presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted to exclude interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, loss on disposal of assets, intangible and other asset impairments, medical contingency change in estimate, business combination related expenditures and other non-recurring adjustments, accrued legal contingency, restructuring expenses and one-time legacy reserve adjustment. We use this non-GAAP financial measure as a key performance measure because we believe it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences primarily caused by variations in capital structures, tax positions, the impact of acquisitions and restructuring, the impact of depreciation and amortization expense on our fixed assets, the impact of stock-based compensation expense and other items that do not reflect our core operations. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is provided below:

ADJUSTED NET INCOME (LOSS) AND

ADJUSTED EARNINGS (LOSS) PER DILUTED SHARE

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

(Unaudited)

Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share are not required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP. We define adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share as adjusted net income (loss) divided by our weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted. Adjusted net income (loss) is calculated as net income minus medical contingency change in estimate, plus business combination related expenditures and other non-recurring adjustments, accrued legal contingency, restructuring expenses and one-time legacy reserve adjustment. We use these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they facilitate period to period comparisons of operating performance, by excluding potential differences primarily caused by non-recurring items. Business combination related expenses, accrued legal contingency, restructuring expenses and medical contingency change in estimate are considered non-recurring items. Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or earnings per share or other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of net income to adjusted net income (loss), along with adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share, is provided below:
