Groupon Appoints Aditya Rajkumar as Chief Operating OfficerJune 8, 2026 9:07 AM
NewsfileFormer DoorDash and 7-Eleven operating leader to help drive Groupon's next phase of AI-native growthChicago, Illinois--(Newsfile Corp. - June 8, 2026) - Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN) today announced the appointment of Aditya Rajkumar as Chief Operating Officer. Rajkumar joins the company effective August 3, 2026, and will report to Chief Executive Officer Dusan Senkypl, overseeing Groupon's marketplace and merchant operations. "Adi brings exactly the operating discipline and marketplace experience this stage of our transformation calls for," said Senkypl. "He pairs a strong bias for action with a structured, hands-on approach, and he moves at a pace that pulls an organization forward. The last decade has proved that a new generation of local marketplaces can win at real scale: serving customers at the level of a neighborhood while running with the efficiency of a global platform. That is an organizational capability built through culture, teams, and operating processes, and very few people have done it. Adi has spent his career building exactly that, and it is what this next phase of Groupon requires as we move into the era of agentic commerce.""Groupon sits at the intersection of consumer intent and local supply, with a brand people know and a marketplace with real room to grow," said Rajkumar. "Throughout my career, I've been drawn to missions that support local businesses. At DoorDash, it was about empowering local economies through e-commerce and delivery. At Groupon, it's about putting customers first: helping people discover and enjoy the best of their cities at great value, while giving the local businesses they love a partner that helps them reach new customers and grow. What drew me here is the chance to pair that mission with intense operating rigor, and to help build the bridge between the AI economy and local merchants. I'm excited to get to work with the team Dusan has built."Rajkumar joins Groupon from 7-Eleven, where he most recently led Skipcart and last-mile operations as Vice President, Last Mile, running delivery and last-mile operations across one of the largest global convenience retail networks. Before that, he spent more than four years at DoorDash in senior P&L and operating roles, most recently as General Manager of Caviar and Premium. Earlier in his career, he was a Senior Manager in Deloitte's M&A Strategy & Operations practice, advising clients across energy, industrials and manufacturing."Adi has spent his career turning complex operations into measurable outcomes, better customer experiences, stronger merchant performance, and execution at scale," added Senkypl. "That is the operating standard we are holding ourselves to as we execute against our transformation priorities. I couldn't be more excited to welcome Adi to the team, and I wish him every success as we build Groupon's next chapter together."Contacts:

Groupon shares climb after restructuring plan and upgraded outlook (GRPN)May 26, 2026 9:11 AM
IH Market News Shares of Groupon (NASDAQ:GRPN) rose 5% on Tuesday after the company announced a major restructuring initiative that includes global workforce reductions and improved full-year earnings guidance. Company plans up to 400 job cuts worldwide Groupon said its board approved the restructuring program on May 21, with plans to eliminate up to 400 positions globally. The reductions will affect both employees and contractors, with most of the cuts expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter. The company said the restructuring is tied to its transition toward a more AI-focused operating model, although implementation timing may vary depending on legal requirements in certain regions. Restructuring expected to deliver significant cost savings Groupon estimates the restructuring will generate charges ranging from $7 million to $13 million, primarily linked to severance payments and employee compensation costs. The company expects the workforce reductions to produce annual savings of between $20 million and $25 million. For 2026, Groupon projects gross savings of approximately $10 million to $12 million and said up to half of those savings could be reinvested into marketing, artificial intelligence infrastructure and talent development initiatives. Net savings for fiscal year 2026 are estimated at roughly $5 million. Full-year EBITDA guidance raised Alongside the restructuring announcement, Groupon increased its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance. The company now expects adjusted EBITDA between $75 million and $80 million, compared with its previous forecast range of $70 million to $75 million. Groupon also said restructuring-related costs will be excluded from its non-GAAP financial metrics. Additional automation initiatives under review The company disclosed that it is evaluating further automation and cost-reduction measures through an initiative known as “Project Foundry.” Any additional actions under the program would require board approval and are expected to be completed by the end of 2027. COO to step down in July Separately, Groupon announced that Chief Operating Officer Jiri Ponrt will resign effective July 10. The company said his departure is not related to any disagreement with management or the board and confirmed that he will not receive severance compensation because the resignation is voluntary.

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.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.Income taxes, interest and other non-operating items. Income taxes, interest and other non-operating items include: income taxes, foreign currency gains and losses, loss on extinguishment of exchanged debt, interest income and interest expense. 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. We exclude special charges and credits included charges related to our Italy Restructuring Plan, 2022 Restructuring Plan and 2020 Restructuring Plan, as well as gain on sale of assets, gain on sale of business, loss on extinguishment of debt and foreign VAT assessments. 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. Those measures are intended to facilitate comparisons to our historical performance. Contribution Profit measures the amount of marketing investment needed to generate revenue and is defined as net revenues less cost of sales and marketing expense.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 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 to evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions. 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. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a substitute for Net income (loss) from continuing operations.Free cash flow is a non-GAAP liquidity measure that comprises Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities from continuing operations less purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software. We use free cash flow to conduct and evaluate our business because, although it is similar to Net cash provided by (used in) 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 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, which is presented net of the merchant's share of the transaction price. 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 also allows us to monitor the percentage of gross billings that we are able to retain after payments to merchants. Active customers are unique user accounts, identified by a distinct email address, that have made a purchase during the 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. We do not include consumers who solely make purchases with retailers using digital coupons accessed through our websites or 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 or mobile applications in our units metric. We consider units to be an important indicator of the total volume of business conducted through our marketplaces. We do not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates on a forward-looking basis where we are unable to provide a meaningful calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various items that would impact the most directly comparable forward-looking U.S. GAAP financial measure that have not yet occurred, are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures.Note on Forward-Looking StatementsThe statements contained in this release that refer to plans and expectations for the next quarter, the full year or the future are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans and our objectives for future operations and future liquidity. The words "may," "will," "should," "could," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "intend," "continue" and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, our ability to execute and achieve the expected benefits of our go-forward strategy, including our broader AI-native transformation; the risk that the anticipated benefits of our AI strategy may not be realized in the time frame we expect or at all and may have adverse effects on our operations, merchants and customers; the risk that our public statements regarding our AI strategy and deployment of AI agents are not adequately substantiated or are later viewed as inconsistent with our actual capabilities or results; execution of our business and marketing strategies; volatility in our operating results; challenges arising from our international operations, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates, tax, legal and regulatory developments in the jurisdictions in which we operate and geopolitical instability; global economic uncertainty, including as a result of inflationary pressures; any impact from U.S. and international financial reform legislation and regulations, and any potential trade protection measures, such as new or incremental tariffs and other trade policies; retaining and adding high quality merchants and third-party business partners; retaining existing customers and adding new customers; competing successfully in our industry; providing a strong mobile experience for our customers; managing refund risks; retaining and attracting members of our executive and management teams and other qualified employees and personnel; customer and merchant fraud; payment-related risks; our reliance on email, Internet search engines and mobile application marketplaces to drive traffic to our marketplace; cybersecurity breaches; maintaining and improving our information technology infrastructure; reliance on cloud-based computing platforms; the risks associated with our use and integration of AI and machine learning technologies; completing and realizing the anticipated benefits from acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures and strategic investments; lack of control over minority investments; managing inventory and order fulfillment risks; claims related to product and service offerings; protecting our intellectual property; maintaining a strong brand; the impact of future and pending litigation; compliance with domestic and foreign laws and regulations, including the CARD Act, GDPR, CPRA, and other privacy-related laws and regulations of the Internet and e-commerce; classification of our independent contractors, agency workers, or employees; risks relating to information or content published or made available on our websites or service offerings we make available; exposure to greater than anticipated tax liabilities; adoption of tax laws; our ability to use our tax attributes; impacts if we become subject to the Bank Secrecy Act or other anti-money laundering or money transmission laws or regulations; our ability to raise capital if necessary; risks related to our access to capital and outstanding indebtedness, including our 2027 Notes and 2030 Notes; our Common Stock, including volatility in our stock price and financial markets; a potential economic slowdown; and those risks and other factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A.

As AI transitions from assistive tools to autonomous agents capable of evaluating and executing transactions, Groupon has prioritized positioning its marketplace as a bridge between the AI economy and local merchants. The AI Committee will provide independent oversight of Groupon's AI strategy, ensuring that the Company's deployment of emerging technologies creates sustainable shareholder value while adhering to the highest standards of responsible governance.Ted Leonsis, Chairman of the Board of Groupon, said: "The rise of AI represents the most significant platform shift in a generation. Groupon's position at the intersection of consumer intent and local supply creates a powerful foundation for innovation. Amit brings the combination of operating leadership at scale, entrepreneurial experience, and deep technical perspective that can help guide Groupon through this transition and ensure our governance keeps pace with our ambition."Dusan Senkypl, Chief Executive Officer of Groupon, said: "Artificial intelligence is moving quickly from tools that assist people to systems that can actively participate in discovery and commerce. Agentic systems will increasingly help consumers identify services, evaluate options, and transact with merchants. For Groupon, this creates an opportunity not only to improve execution, but to rethink how local commerce works. We believe Groupon can help bring the capabilities of the AI economy to millions of local businesses, and Amit brings both the technological understanding and the leadership perspective to help us move with the urgency that moment requires."About Amit Shah
Shah is a technology executive and entrepreneur with more than two decades of experience leading digital transformation at the intersection of commerce, platforms, and emerging technologies.He is currently the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of InstaLILY AI, an enterprise artificial intelligence company pioneering the adoption of Small Language Models and autonomous agents to automate complex business workflows within large-scale operating environments.

Shah holds a Master's degree from Harvard University and a Bachelor's degree from Bowdoin College and lives in New York City.Shah said: "Artificial intelligence is becoming a foundational technology for how businesses operate and how consumers discover products, experiences, and services. A platform like Groupon represents an opportunity to rethink how marketplaces work and how technology can better support merchants and consumers alike. Having spent much of my career building companies and working with boards through periods of technological transition, I believe Groupon is well positioned to help bring the capabilities of the AI economy to the millions of businesses that power local communities. I'm honored to join the Board and excited to work with Ted, Dusan, and the leadership team as the Company enters this next chapter to bring AI to the Main Street of local communities around the world."Committee Mandate and Governance
The Artificial Intelligence Committee will provide Board-level oversight of Groupon's AI strategy, with a focus on four areas: strategic integration of AI investments with long-term capital allocation; responsible AI practices including ethical guardrails, transparency, and data provenance; technical resilience encompassing model risk, cybersecurity, and vendor concentration; and organizational readiness including AI talent acquisition and workforce fluency.The Committee will operate under a formal charter and report regularly to the full Board. With the appointment of Shah, the Groupon Board of Directors consists of six (6) members.

2020's Silver Lining: 7 out 10 People Say They Appreciate Their Loved Ones More Than They Did at the Start of the Year

Source: Business Wire

In a new Groupon holiday survey, nearly 70% of people say they’re more appreciative of family and friends as a result of 2020’s challenges

67% of people are more determined than ever to give their loved ones the perfect gift this year

77% said they also plan to treat themselves with more gifts this year as a way to help de-stress and unwind

A majority of Americans, 56%, said 2020 has been the worst year of their entire lives, according to the results of a new Groupon survey. This year, however, wasn’t all bad, and if nothing else, the past 11 months have taught nearly 70% of those surveyed to be even more appreciative of family and friends than they were at the start of the year. To that end, nearly 70% of people also indicated that they’re more determined than ever to give their loved ones the perfect gifts this year.

In a new Groupon holiday survey, nearly 70% of people say they're more appreciative of family and friends as a result of 2020's challenges. (Graphic: Business Wire).

The survey, commissioned by Groupon, polled 2,000 people from around the United States to find out how the pandemic and other events have impacted holiday gifting trends. The study also looked at how people are changing their approach to celebrating this year and what they’re looking forward to the most over the next few weeks.
“We know we’ll have a different kind of holiday season this year, but according to our research, people are going into it with a mindset of appreciation,” said Groupon’s Chief Communications Officer Jennifer Beugelmans. “As we head into the end of the year, people are searching for ways to show their friends and family how much they are loved and missed. Whether they are planning on giving personalized experiences or goods, shoppers are looking for meaningful ways to communicate how much they care. Plus, we’re finding that many people are planning to gift experiences they can do with their loved ones in a post-COVID world.”
Show the Love This Season
In addition to being more appreciative of family and friends, 65% of those surveyed said they plan to put more thought into this year’s gifts and 60% intend on giving more personalized items and experiences. A whopping 76% of those surveyed said they hope their gifts bring added cheer to the recipient and uplift their spirits. Sixty-five percent said they plan to spend as much or more than they did on gifts last year.
Treat Yo’ Self...You Won’t Be Alone
According to the survey results, self-gifting is expected to increase 35% this year as people look to treat themselves more for all they’ve missed out on in 2020. Seventy-seven percent said they plan to treat themselves with more gifts this holiday season, which is up from 57%. The average person plans to buy themselves six gifts with the top self-gifts identified by participants as dinner, clothes, staycation/road trip, wine delivery and spa packages.
A Different Kind of Holidays
As COVID-19 continues to spread, health authorities are urging people to stay home for the holidays and keep celebrations small. Given the new realities created by the global pandemic, nearly 60% of Americans are opting for remote holiday celebrations. Fifty-six percent said they’re buying gifts people can use once the pandemic has subsided such as gift certificates/vouchers, spa packages, tickets to concerts and trips. Fifty-four percent of parents said they’re skipping the annual visit to the mall to see Santa with their children this year due to COVID-19 concerns, but more than 60% said they’d be open to having their child visit with St. Nick virtually.
Find Your Zen
While 2020 has been a very stressful year, the survey found that people are looking forward to the opportunity for some holiday down time. Being home and not having to travel, eating and drinking, exchanging gifts, watching movies and spending time with household family members were identified as activities participants are looking forward to the most this holiday season. When asked how they’ve managed to stay sane during quarantine, people identified listening to music, doing activities with household family members, binge watching movies and TV shows, reading books and taking better care of themselves as the top ways they’ve gotten through these tough times.
Shop Small, Help Local Businesses
Seventy percent said they plan to make more of an effort this holiday season to shop at small businesses as a way to help them recover from the negative impacts of COVID-19 closures.
Looking Ahead to a Post-COVID World
Seventy-four percent said they believe optimism about the future can be spread through a little holiday spirit. With 2020 representing the worst year ever for a majority of people, it should come as no surprise that the same number of respondents, 56%, said their New Year’s resolution is to make up for the things they missed in 2020. In fact, nearly 60% said they’re looking to buy gifts they can use with other people.
No matter how you plan to celebrate this holiday season, Groupon can help you find what’s next on your list for when you and your loved ones are ready to experience more. Whether it’s an outdoor light show, ice skating, a relaxing spa package, a virtual holiday concert with a digital album download or an online Christmas experience for the entire family complete with a photo and recording, Groupon has something for everyone on your list, including you.
