CHICAGO - February 25, 2021 - Groupon, Inc. (NASDAQ: GRPN) today announced financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2020 and provided details on its recent operating progress. The company filed its Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission and posted an updated presentation on its investor relations website (investor.groupon.com).
"Despite the challenges of 2020, we successfully implemented our restructuring plan and established a path for growth, and as a result, we are well positioned heading into 2021," said Aaron Cooper, Interim CEO of Groupon. "Our fourth quarter results tell the story of our opportunity and included sequential consolidated revenue and gross profit growth, as well as sequential consolidated Local revenue growth. We are also excited to announce that we exceeded our inventory test goals in our test markets — growing inventory by approximately 65% and achieving a low double-digit lift in units. Based on these results we have begun scaling our inventory strategy across North America.
"Looking ahead, we believe we will benefit from both COVID-19 recovery and strong execution of our growth strategy focused on expanding our inventory and modernizing our marketplace," continued Cooper. "These drivers, coupled with a substantially lower fixed cost base should position Groupon for sustainable, long-term profitable growth."
2020 Highlights
•Executed a test to expand inventory through the introduction of our Offers inventory product and the removal of Deal-related restrictions
•Launched features to improve the merchant experience, including self-service campaign builder, Google two-way sync, a Sponsored Listings MVP, and a self-service API for booking partners
•Launched features to improve the customer experience, including map-based search, and other search, relevance, and navigation improvements
•Migrated our North America Goods category to a third-party marketplace model
•Reduced our 2020 fixed cost structure by approximately $140 million through restructuring and furlough actions, paving the way to realize $225 million in annualized fixed cost savings by 2022
•Exited the year with $851 million in cash
Strategy for Growth
We are focused on driving customer purchase frequency and unlocking our marketplace flywheel, which we believe will allow us to achieve sustainable, top-line growth. Our two strategic priorities - expanding inventory and modernizing our marketplace - are both squarely focused on these objectives. In 2020, we made progress on both of these priorities, and in 2021 we intend to bring these two priorities together, by leveraging a new customer experience to drive sales of our expanding inventory and delivering an improved merchant experience that will accelerate our efforts to retain, reactivate and acquire merchants.
Expanding Inventory
We believe that growing high-quality inventory in a targeted set of Local experiences and markets is key to unlocking the potential of our two-sided marketplace. As part of this priority, in 2020, Groupon launched a new inventory product, Offers, reduced restrictions on our Deals, and continued to focus on Market Rate supply.
Fourth quarter progress:
•We recently completed our 4-city test in North America, which began in July 2020. The goal of our test was to grow inventory and improve both units and billings performance vs. our control markets
•We exceeded the goals outlined on our inventory test scorecard and achieved the following results vs. control markets:
•Approximately 65% inventory growth vs. goal of 50% inventory growth
•High single-digit lift in billings and low double-digit lift in units vs. goal of low single-digit lift in billings and units
•Despite the volatility caused by COVID-19, we are pleased to have exceeded our inventory test goals and are confident we have the signal necessary to begin scaling elements of the strategy more broadly
2021 Focus: two-pronged approach to begin scaling our inventory strategy
•Scaling now in North America: Launch Offers across the Beauty & Wellness vertical and remove repeat purchase restrictions from Deals across all verticals, with the goal of increasing inventory and driving customer purchase frequency
•Continuing to learn: We are encouraged by initial increases in units sold when we grew supply in the Things to Do and Dining verticals in our test markets, but given the impact of COVID-19, we need to gather more insights on what recovery is likely to look like
Modernizing the Marketplace by Improving the Merchant and Customer Experiences
We made progress on our goal of becoming a better partner to our merchants and reducing friction for our customers.
Fourth quarter progress:
•Additional improvements to our merchant self-service tool, including personalized recommendations that automatically recommend pricing, discount levels, and more, based on the type of inventory listing and other factors
•Launched an integration with Booker, a popular Beauty & Wellness booking solution in North America, leveraging our Groupon Connect API tool to seamlessly integrate quality supply into the Groupon marketplace
2021 Focus:
•Continue to grow the suite of tools and products available to merchants, including new features for our self-service tool, scaling our portfolio of advertising products and launching new booking tool features
•Launching a new customer experience that will dramatically improve how customers engage with Groupon. New features will include:
◦Personalized home pages that make it easier to search, browse, and discover experiences;
◦Improved search and relevance capabilities that better match the customer’s intent with search results; and
◦Several features that encourage and make it easier for customers to repeat purchase, including educating customers that we now have Deals and Offers that can be purchased again and again.
"The Groupon team continued to deliver improving financial results in the fourth quarter, including sequential Adjusted EBITDA growth, positive free cash flow and a cash balance of $851 million," said Melissa Thomas, Groupon CFO. "I'm energized by the resilience we demonstrated in 2020, and as we execute on our growth strategy in 2021, we believe we are positioning Groupon to take share in the trillion dollar Local market."

All comparisons in this press release are year-over-year unless otherwise provided.
Conference Call
A conference call will be webcast Friday, February 26, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. CT / 10:00 a.m. ET and will be available on Groupon’s investor relations website at https://investor.groupon.com. This call will contain forward-looking statements and other material information regarding our financial and operating results.
Groupon encourages investors to use its investor relations website as a way of easily finding information about the company. Groupon promptly makes available on this website, free of charge, the reports that the company files or furnishes with the SEC, corporate governance information (including Groupon’s Global Code of Conduct), and select press releases and social media postings. Groupon uses its investor relations website (investor.groupon.com) and the Groupon blog (www.groupon.com/blog) as a means of disclosing material non-public information and for complying with its disclosure obligations under Regulation FD.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Operating Metrics
In addition to financial results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we have provided the following non-GAAP financial measures: Foreign currency exchange rate neutral operating results, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations before provision (benefit) for income taxes, non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, non-GAAP income (loss) per share, non-GAAP provision (benefit) for income taxes and free cash flow. These non-GAAP financial measures, which are presented on a continuing operations basis, are intended to aid investors in better understanding our current financial performance and prospects for the future as seen through the eyes of management. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons with our historical results and with the results of peer companies who present similar measures (although other companies may define non-GAAP measures differently than we define them, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures). However, these non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be a substitute for those reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For reconciliations of these measures to the most applicable financial measures under U.S. GAAP, see "Non-GAAP Reconciliation Schedules" and "Supplemental Financial and Operating Metrics" included in the tables accompanying this release.
We exclude the following items from one or more of our non-GAAP financial measures:
Stock-based compensation. We exclude stock-based compensation because it is primarily non-cash in nature and we believe that non-GAAP financial measures excluding this item provide meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance and liquidity.
Acquisition-related expense (benefit), net. Acquisition-related expense (benefit), net is comprised of the change in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements and external transaction costs related to business combinations, primarily consisting of legal and advisory fees. The composition of our contingent consideration arrangements and the impact of those arrangements on our operating results vary over time based on a number of factors, including
the terms of our business combinations and the timing of those transactions. We exclude acquisition-related expense (benefit), net because we believe that non-GAAP financial measures excluding this item provide meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance and facilitate comparisons to our historical operating results.
Depreciation and amortization. We exclude depreciation and amortization expenses because they are non-cash in nature and we believe that non-GAAP financial measures excluding these items provide meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance and liquidity.
Interest and Other Non-Operating Items. Interest and other non-operating items include: gains and losses related to minority investments, foreign currency gains and losses, interest income and interest expense, including non-cash interest expense from our convertible senior notes. We exclude interest and other non-operating items from certain of our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that excluding these items provides meaningful supplemental information about our core operating performance and facilitates comparisons to our historical operating results.
Special Charges and Credits. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, special charges and credits included charges related to our restructuring plan, goodwill and long-lived asset impairments, and strategic advisor costs. We exclude special charges and credits from Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that excluding those items provides meaningful supplemental information about our core operating performance and facilitates comparisons with our historical results.
Descriptions of the non-GAAP financial measures included in this release and the accompanying tables are as follows:
Foreign currency exchange rate neutral operating results show current period operating results as if foreign currency exchange rates had remained the same as those in effect in the prior year period. These measures are intended to facilitate comparisons to our historical performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP performance measure that we define as net income (loss) from continuing operations excluding income taxes, interest and other non-operating items, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition-related expense (benefit), net and other special charges and credits, including items that are unusual in nature or infrequently occurring. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by our management and Board of Directors to evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions for the allocation of capital. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and Board of Directors. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a substitute for income (loss) from continuing operations.
Non-GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations before provision (benefit) for income taxes, Non-GAAP net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and non-GAAP income (loss) per diluted share are non-GAAP performance measures that adjust our net income attributable to common stockholders and earnings per share to exclude the impact of:
•stock-based compensation,
•amortization of acquired intangible assets,
•acquisition-related expense (benefit), net,
•special charges and credits, including restructuring charges,
•non-cash interest expense on convertible senior notes,
•non-operating foreign currency gains and losses related to intercompany balances and reclassifications of cumulative translation adjustments to earnings as a result of business dispositions or country exits,
•non-operating gains and losses from minority investments that we have elected to record at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings,
•non-operating gains and losses from sales of minority investments, and
•income (loss) from discontinued operations.
We believe that excluding the above items from our measures of non-GAAP income from continuing operations before provision (benefit) from income taxes, non-GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share provides useful supplemental information for evaluating our operating performance and facilitates comparisons to our historical results by eliminating items that are non-cash in nature, relate to discrete events, or are otherwise not indicative of the core operating performance of our ongoing business.
Non-GAAP provision (benefit) for income taxes reflects our current and deferred tax provision computed based on non-GAAP income from continuing operations before provision (benefit) for income taxes.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP liquidity measure that comprises net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software from continuing operations. We use free cash flow to conduct and evaluate our business because, although it is similar to cash flow from continuing operations, we believe that it typically represents a more useful measure of cash flows because purchases of fixed assets, software developed for internal use and website development costs are necessary components of our ongoing operations. Free cash flow is not intended to represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for the applicable period.
Descriptions of the operating metrics included in this release and the accompanying tables are as follows:
Gross Billings is the total dollar value of customer purchases of goods and services. Gross billings is presented net of customer refunds, order discounts and sales and related taxes. The substantial majority of our service revenue transactions are comprised of sales of vouchers and similar transactions in which we collect the transaction price from the customer and remit a portion of the transaction price to the third-party merchant who will provide the related goods or services. For these transactions, gross billings differs from revenue reported in our consolidated statements of operations, which is presented net of the merchant's share of the transaction price. For product revenue transactions, gross billings are equivalent to product revenue reported in our consolidated statements of operations. Gross billings is an indicator of our growth and business performance as it measures the dollar volume of transactions generated through our marketplaces. Tracking gross billings on service revenue transactions also allows us to
monitor the percentage of gross billings that we are able to retain after payments to merchants. However, we are focused on achieving long-term gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA growth.
Active customers are unique user accounts that have made a purchase during the trailing twelve months ("TTM") either through one of our online marketplaces or directly with a merchant for which we earned a commission. We consider this metric to be an important indicator of our business performance as it helps us to understand how the number of customers actively purchasing our offerings is trending. Some customers could establish and make purchases from more than one account, so it is possible that our active customer metric may count certain customers more than once in a given period. For entities that we have acquired in a business combination, this metric includes active customers of the acquired entity, including customers who made purchases prior to the acquisition. We do not include consumers who solely make purchases with retailers using digital coupons accessed through our websites and mobile applications in our active customer metric, nor do we include consumers who solely make purchases of our inventory through third-party marketplaces with which we partner.
Units are the number of purchases during the reporting period, before refunds and cancellations, made either through one of our online marketplaces, a third-party marketplace, or directly with a merchant for which we earn a commission. We do not include purchases with retailers using digital coupons accessed through our websites and mobile applications in our units metric. We consider units to be an important indicator of the total volume of business conducted through our marketplaces.
