NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except share and per share data)
1. Organization
Waitr Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Waitr,” “we,” “us” and “our”), operates an online food ordering and delivery platform, powered by its team of delivery drivers. Waitr’s business model is the three-sided marketplace (restaurants, drivers and diners), enabled by its purpose-built platform. On January 17, 2019, Waitr acquired BiteSquad.com, LLC (“Bite Squad”), an online food ordering and delivery platform, which operates a three-sided marketplace, consistent with Waitr. The Company connects diners and restaurants via Waitr’s website and mobile application (the “Waitr Platform”) and Bite Squad’s website and mobile application (the “Bite Squad Platform” and together with the Waitr Platform, the “Platforms”). The Company’s Platforms allow consumers to browse local restaurants and menus, track order and delivery status, and securely store previous orders and payment information for ease of use and convenience. Restaurants benefit from the online Platforms through increased exposure to consumers for carryout sales and expanded business in the delivery market.
2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as they apply to interim financial information. Accordingly, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make information not misleading.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but in the Company’s opinion, include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. The Company has revised the classification of certain employee-related wages and payroll taxes associated with such wages for the three months ended March 31, 2018 to better align the statement of operations line items with departmental responsibilities and management of operations. These reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s reported total costs and expenses, loss from operations, net loss or loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
The table below summarizes the financial statement line items impacted by these reclassifications (in thousands):

Certain prior period amounts included in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

All transactions processed through the Bite Squad Platform and certain transactions processed through the Waitr Platform result in the Company receiving all of the transaction proceeds. The Company records as a restaurant food liability the net balance owed to the restaurant, after deducting the commissions and other fees charged to the restaurant. The Company remits payments to the restaurants twice a month, generally on the 1st and 15th.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
Significant estimates and judgments relied upon in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements affect the following items: determination of the nature and timing of satisfaction of revenue-generating performance obligations and the standalone selling price of performance obligations, variable consideration, other obligations such as product returns and refunds, allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for chargebacks, incurred loss estimates under our insurance policies with large deductibles or retention levels, income taxes, useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, equity compensation, contingencies, goodwill and other intangible assets, and fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as part of a business combination. The Company regularly assesses these estimates and records changes to estimates in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining these estimates could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Except as set forth below, there has been no material change to our critical accounting policies and estimates described in the 2018 Form 10-K.
Revenue
The Company generates revenue (“transaction fees”) primarily when diners place an order on the Waitr Platform or Bite Squad Platform. Revenue consists of the following for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Transaction fees represent the revenue recognized from the Company’s obligation to process orders on the Platforms. The performance obligation is satisfied when the Company successfully processes an order placed on one of the Platforms and the restaurant receives the order at their location. The obligation to process orders on the Platforms represents a series of distinct performance obligations satisfied over time that the Company combines into a single performance obligation. Consistent with the recognition objective in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the variable consideration due to the Company for processing orders is recognized on a daily basis. As an agent of the restaurant in the transaction, the Company recognizes transaction fees earned from the restaurant on the platform on a net basis. Transaction fees also include a fee charged to the end user customer when they request the order be delivered to their location. Revenue is recognized for diner fees once the delivery service is completed. The contract period for substantially all restaurant contracts is one month as both the Company and the restaurant have the ability to unilaterally terminate the contract by providing notice of termination.
The Company also receives non-refundable upfront setup and integration fees for onboarding certain restaurants. Setup and integration activities primarily represent administrative activities that allow the Company to fulfill future performance obligations for these restaurants and do not represent services transferred to the restaurant. However, the non-refundable upfront setup and integration fees charged to restaurants results in a performance obligation in the form of a material right related to the restaurant’s option to renew the contract each day rather than provide a notice of termination. Upfront non-refundable fees are generally due shortly after the contract is executed; however, the Company may provide installment payment options for up to six months. Revenue is recognized ratably over a two-year period, at which point the restaurant must make another non-refundable payment to renew the contract.
6
The Company sells gift cards on the Bite Squad Platform and recognizes revenue upon gift card redemption. Gift cards that have not yet been utilized are recorded on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet in other current liabilities.
Other revenue consists primarily of subscription revenue from restaurants who have opted to pay an ongoing monthly fee to remain on the Platforms instead of a lump sum setup fee.
Significant Judgment
Most of the Company’s contracts with restaurants contain multiple performance obligations as described above. For these contracts, the Company accounts for individual performance obligations separately if they are both capable of being distinct, and distinct in the context of the contract. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately may require significant judgment.
Judgment is also required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. The Company uses the alternative approach in ASC 606 to allocate the upfront fee between the material right obligation and the transaction fee obligation, which results in all of the upfront non-refundable payment at inception of the contract being allocated to the material right obligation. When contracts with restaurants include other performance obligations, such as ancillary equipment, the Company establishes a single amount to estimate the standalone selling price for the goods or services. In instances where the standalone selling price is not directly observable, it is determined using observable inputs.
Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to restaurants. The Company records a receivable when it has an unconditional right to the consideration. Setup and integration fees are due at inception of the contract; in certain cases, extended payment terms may be provided for up to six months and are included in accounts receivable. The opening balance of accounts receivable, net was $3,687 and $2,124 as of January 1, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Payment terms and conditions on setup and integration fees vary by contract type, although terms typically include a requirement of payment within six months. The Company records a contract liability in deferred revenue for the unearned portion of the upfront non-refundable fee. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined its contracts do not include a significant financing component.
Assets Recognized from Costs to Obtain and Costs to Fulfill a Contract with a Customer
The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a restaurant and recognizes the expense over the course of the period when the Company expects to recover those costs. The Company has determined that certain internal sales incentives earned at the time when an initial contract is executed meet these requirements. Capitalized sales incentives are amortized to sales and marketing expense on a straight-line basis over the period of benefit, which the Company has determined to be two years. Deferred costs related to obtaining contracts with restaurants were $1,130 and $986 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, out of which $789 and $679, respectively, were classified as current. Amortization of expense for the costs to obtain a contract were $209 and $95 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The Company also recognizes an asset for the costs to fulfill a contract with a restaurant when they are specifically identifiable, generate or enhance resources used to satisfy future performance obligations, and are expected to be recovered. The Company has determined that certain costs related to setup and integration activities meet the capitalization criteria under ASC Topic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs. Costs related to these implementation activities are deferred and then amortized to operations and support expense on a straight-line basis over a period of benefit, which the Company has determined to be two years. Deferred costs related to fulfilling contracts with restaurants were $1,990 and $1,710 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, out of which $1,374 and $1,190, respectively, were classified as current. Amortization of expense for the costs to fulfill a contract were $374 and $177 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The Company applies a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract with a restaurant when the amortization period would have been one year or less.
There was no impairment loss in relation to capitalized costs for the periods presented.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”), to the FASB’s ASCs.
7
The Company considered the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on these condensed consolidated financial statements. As an emerging growth company, the Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised financial accounting standards provided pursuant to Section 13 (a) of the Exchange Act.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which removes, modifies or adds disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities beginning after December 15, 2019, with amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and narrative description of measurement uncertainty requiring prospective adoption and all other amendments requiring retrospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2018-13 on its related disclosures and does not expect it to have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), to simplify the accounting for share-based payments to non-employees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. Under the new standard, equity-classified non-employee awards will be initially measured on the grant date and re-measured only upon modification, rather than at each reporting period. Measurement will be based on an estimate of the fair value of the equity instruments to be issued. ASU 2018-07 is effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the standard is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance but not before an entity adopts ASC 606. As an emerging growth company, the Company will not be subject to the requirements of ASU 2018-07 until fiscal year 2020. The Company’s adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. Part I of ASU 2017-11 addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced based on the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of ASU 2017-11 addresses the difficulty of navigating ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in ASC 480. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. Part II of ASU 2017-11 does not have an accounting effect. ASU 2017-11 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. As an emerging growth company, the Company will not be subject to the requirements of ASU 2017-11 until fiscal year 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting this ASU will have on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The Company will be required to use a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans, and other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted for all entities beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. As an emerging growth company, the Company will not be subject to the requirements of ASU 2016-13 until fiscal year 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting this ASU will have on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. As an emerging growth company, the Company will not be subject to the requirements of ASU 2016-02 until fiscal year 2020. The

3. Business Combinations
Bite Squad Merger
On January 17, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Bite Squad, a Minnesota limited liability company, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 11, 2018 (the “Bite Squad Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Bite Squad and Wingtip Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The transactions contemplated by the Bite Squad Merger Agreement are referred to herein as the “Bite Squad Merger.” Upon consummation of the Bite Squad Merger, Wingtip Merger Sub, Inc. merged with and into Bite Squad, with Bite Squad surviving the merger in accordance with the Minnesota Revised Uniform Limited Liability Act as a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of the Company. Founded in 2012 and based in Minneapolis, Bite Squad operates a three-sided marketplace, consistent with Waitr, through the Bite Squad Platform. The consideration for the Bite Squad Merger consisted of $192,949 payable in cash (subject to adjustments), the pay down of $12,705 of indebtedness of Bite Squad and an aggregate of 10,591,968 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“common stock”), valued at $11.95 per share. The following represents the preliminary estimated merger consideration:

The Bite Squad Merger was considered a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, and has been accounted for using the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method of accounting, total merger consideration, acquired assets and assumed liabilities are recorded based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of merger consideration over the fair value of the assets less liabilities acquired has been recorded as goodwill.
The preliminary estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed consists of the following (in thousands):

The Company engaged a third-party to assist management in estimating the fair value of the assets and liabilities. The goodwill recorded in the Bite Squad Merger represents future anticipated economic benefits from combining operations of Waitr and Bite Squad, including, but not limited to, future growth into new markets, future enhancements to the Platforms, future customer relationships and the workforce in place. Approximately 81% of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes given the federal tax treatment of the transaction.
9
The acquired identifiable intangible assets include customer relationships, trade name and developed technology. The developed technology asset was valued using the “with & without” methodology which considers the direct replacement and opportunity costs associated with the underlying technology. The developed technology acquired represents a Level 3 measurement as it was based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions used in pricing the asset at fair value. These inputs required significant judgments and estimates at the time of the valuation.
The acquired customer relationships were valued using the income approach, specifically, the multi-period excess earnings method, which measures the after-tax cash flows attributable to the existing customer relationships after deducting the operating costs and contributory asset charges associated with economic rents associated with supporting the existing customer relationships. The customer relationships acquired represent a Level 3 measurement as it was based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions used in pricing the asset at fair value. These inputs required significant judgments and estimates at the time of the valuation.
The acquired trade name was valued using the income approach, specifically, the relief from royalty rate method, which measures the cash flow streams attributable to the trade name in the form of royalty payments that would be paid to the owner of the trade name in return for the rights to use the trade name. The trade name acquired represents a Level 3 measurement as it was based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions used in pricing the asset at fair value. These inputs required significant judgments and estimates at the time of the valuation.
While the Company has substantially completed the determination of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company is still finalizing the calculation of the purchase price adjustments pursuant to the Bite Squad Merger Agreement, which could affect the final fair value analysis. The Company anticipates finalizing the determination of the fair values by the fourth quarter of 2019.
The results of operations of Bite Squad are included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date, January 17, 2019. Revenue and net loss of Bite Squad included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations in the three months ended March 31, 2019 totaled approximately $22,915 and $4,584, respectively.

Landcadia Business Combination
On November 15, 2018, the Company (f/k/a Landcadia Holdings, Inc.) completed the acquisition of Waitr Incorporated (the “Landcadia Business Combination”). Waitr Incorporated began operations in 2014 as a restaurant platform for online food ordering and delivery services. Landcadia Holdings, Inc. was a special purpose acquisition company whose business was to effect a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase reorganization or similar business combination. The Landcadia Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. Landcadia Holdings, Inc. was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Landcadia Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Waitr Incorporated issuing stock for the net assets of Landcadia Holdings, Inc., accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Landcadia Holdings, Inc. were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Reported amounts from operations included herein prior to the Landcadia Business Combination are those of Waitr Incorporated. The shares and earnings per share available to holders of the Company’s common stock as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2018, respectively, have been retroactively restated to reflect the exchange ratio established in the Landcadia Business Combination (0.8970953 Waitr Holdings Inc. shares to 1.0 Waitr Incorporated share). The pro forma information of the Landcadia Business Combination has been excluded as the amounts are not material.

5. Intangibles Assets and Goodwill
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives and include internally developed software, as well as software to be otherwise marketed, and trademarks/trade name/patents and customer relationships. These intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that they may not be recoverable. The Company has determined that the Waitr trademark intangible asset is an indefinite-lived asset and therefore is not subject to amortization but is evaluated annually for impairment. The Bite Squad trade name intangible, however, is being amortized over its estimated useful life.
