The consensus estimates had called for $0.30 in EPS and $318.76 million in revenue, and the same period of last year reportedly had $0.50 in EPS and $239.74 million in revenue.

Matt Maloney, Grubhub founder and CEO, commented:

The team continued executing in the second quarter, adding thousands of new, high-quality independent and enterprise restaurants and growing our active diner base to more than 20 million. We are excited about the trajectory of our two-sided marketplace – both in terms of geographic diversity and depth in individual markets. Restaurants are increasingly valuing the incremental sales and products we provide, while diners highly regard our robust restaurant selection and consistently low transaction fees.
