GrubHub, which serves more than 40,000 restaurants in more than 1,000 U.S. cities, said revenue rose to $112.2 million from $88 million.
Analysts on average were expecting revenue to increase to $111.3 million, according to Thomson Reuters.
Net income attributable to shareholders fell to $9.9 million from $10.6 million, hurt by GrubHub’s heavy investments to expand its reach. On a per share basis, earnings were flat at 12 cents per share.
The company’s full-year revenue forecast of $450-$465 million compared with analysts estimates of $456 million. The company posted 2015 revenue of $361.8 million.
