The above graph represents the Grubhub net income by year, starting from fiscal 2011 to 2019. Surprisingly, FY 2019 was the first time when Grubhub reported a loss in the last 8 years. The company incurred a net loss of $18.57 million in 2019, primarily driven by investments, including the expansion of the delivery network, increased marketing budget, compensation expense, payment processing costs and certain other expenses. This huge net loss was led by the fourth quarter of 2019 when the company reported a $27.72 million in net loss.
One must note that Grubhub global revenue in 2019 reached an all-time high of $1,312.2 million.
