“We are pleased with our financial results for the first quarter of 2021, as we continued to grow our revenue and generate positive operating cash flow,” said Carl Grimstad, Chairman and CEO of Waitr.

“We completed the acquisition of Delivery Dudes, an established delivery provider in the South Florida market, in March, and are excited to have them on our team. We added a multitude of national brands and delivery only “virtual” restaurant concepts to our Platforms during the first quarter of 2021, further bolstering our restaurant selection to over 23,000 for our diners. These initiatives, coupled with the highest number of active independent contractor drivers in company history on the Platform, has strengthened our market presence in the on-demand delivery sector,” continued Mr. Grimstad.

“Over the last several months, we also partnered with many of the country’s top integrated delivery management and optimization platforms, providing improved operational efficiency that benefits both restaurants and customers, a reflection of our continued efforts to support our restaurant partners and the communities we serve. While adverse weather-related events during the first quarter of 2021 impacted many of our markets, we are pleased to report a 9% increase in average daily order volumes this quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. Our results continue to reflect the hard work of our entire team through the execution of fundamental operational and strategic initiatives,” 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 loss adjusted to exclude interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, business combination related expenditures and other non-recurring adjustments and accrued legal contingency. 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 loss or other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of net loss 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 loss plus business combination related expenditures and other non-recurring adjustments and accrued legal contingency. 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 and accrued legal contingency 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 loss or loss per share or other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of net loss to adjusted net income (loss), along with adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share, is provided below:
