Uber Announces Results for Third Quarter 2019

November 4, 2019 by kevinwilkerson

Revenue of $3.8 billion, with growth accelerating to 30% year-over-year, or 31% on a constant currency basis

Record Rides Adjusted EBITDA of $631 million, fully covering our Corporate G&A and Platform R&D

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.

“Our results this quarter decisively demonstrate the growing profitability of our Rides segment,” said Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO. “Rides Adjusted EBITDA is up 52% year-over-year and now more than covers our corporate overhead. Revenue growth and take rates in our Eats business also accelerated nicely. We’re pleased to see the impact that continued category leadership, greater financial discipline, and an industry-wide shift towards healthier growth are already having on our financial performance.”

During the third quarter of 2019, following a number of leadership and organizational changes, we reorganized our operations and financial reporting into five segments. Our five operating and reportable segments are: Rides, Eats, Freight, Other Bets, and Advanced Technologies Group (“ATG”) and Other Technology Programs. We are providing Gross Bookings, Revenue, Adjusted Net Revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA for each segment. As a result of our reorganization and additional disclosure, we will no longer be showing Core Platform metrics. We are providing select historical segment information for 2018 and 2019 as well as reconciliations to Core Platform metrics in the supplemental information on our website (investor.uber.com) on page 10.

Financial Highlights for Third Quarter 2019

  • Gross Bookings grew $3.7 billion year-over-year to $16.5 billion, representing 29% year-over-year growth, or 32% on a constant currency basis.
  • Revenue growth accelerated to 30% year-over-year from 14% in the second quarter of 2019.
  • Adjusted Net Revenue (“ANR”) growth accelerated to 33% year-over-year, or 35% on a constant currency basis as both Rides and Eats ANR take-rates improved quarter-over-quarter to 22.8% and 10.7%, respectively.
  • Net loss attributable to Uber Technologies, Inc. of $(1.2) billion, which includes $401 million in stock-based compensation expense, improved quarter-over-quarter in part due to revenue growth of $647 million.
  • Rides Adjusted EBITDA of $631 million was the Rides segment’s 8th positive Adjusted EBITDA quarter in a row and covered our Corporate G&A and Platform R&D of $623 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $(585) million improved $71 million quarter-over-quarter.
  • Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents were $12.7 billion, which was up $0.9 billion from the second quarter of 2019 primarily due to the sale of $1.2 billion of senior unsecured notes and the closing of the $1.0 billion investment in ATG.

Operating Highlights for the Third Quarter 2019

Platform

  • Updated Uber app to combine Rides, Eats and other offerings side-by-side – On September 27, we announced a new way to discover, access and experience the growing set of services available through our platform. You’ll now see our Rides, Eats and future offerings side-by-side. This app is currently testing in hundreds of U.S. and international cities.
  • Grew consumer loyalty programs to 20 million subscribers – Uber Rewards, our consumer loyalty program, has 20 million global subscribers 6 months after U.S. nationwide launch in May and a recent rollout in Brazil and Mexico. Meanwhile, the Rewards ecosystem continues to grow, with Rewards enrollees soon able to redeem points with featured Eats restaurant partners, including Ben & Jerry’s and select McDonald’s.
  • Launched suite of subscription programs for Riders and Eaters – We now have a full suite of Rides, Eats, and JUMP e-bike and e-scooter subscription products available, including Uber Pass, with trip price protection and $0 delivery fee on Eats orders for consumers in selected cities. These options complement our other offering specific subscription products such as Ride Pass and Eats Pass.

Rides

  • Rides drove record level of engagement and Rides Adjusted EBITDA performance – Rides crossed $1 billion of weekly gross bookings during Q3 2019 and Rides Adjusted EBITDA was positive for the 8th quarter in a row. Rides segment performance was helped by higher margin Uber for Business growing over 65% YoY to $4.0 billion in annualized gross bookings. We advanced or maintained our already high Rides category position in our most important geographies.
  • Rides premium products generated significant growth – Rides premium products, including Comfort and Black, continue to scale with 41% gross bookings growth globally and 53% growth in the U.S. year-over-year. The higher margin profile of Comfort and Black helped to produce record Rides Adjusted EBITDA.
  • Introduced new safety features – Uber’s investments in new safety features continue to raise the bar. These include recent launches such as: “Verify Your Ride”, on-trip reporting, and text to 911 as well as the expansion of RideCheck which can offer assistance when potential trip issues such as an unexpected long stop or crash are detected.

Other Segments

  • Eats expands restaurant product offerings – We are providing restaurants with greater distribution and consumers with alternative options. For example, we have launched pick up, which gives restaurants the ability to offer consumers an in-restaurant pick-up option, and an option for restaurants that want to utilize their own couriers. Lastly, we have deployed an over-the-top approach in select markets that enables rapid addition of restaurants to the platform by easing our on-boarding procedures for new restaurants.
  • Freight grew its network to over 50,000 carriers – Despite being only 2 years old, over 50,000 carriers have used the Uber Freight app. Several of the top-10 national carriers are already regular participants in our network and our shipper list includes several Fortune 50 customers. Freight load volume grew over 100% year-over-year.

Corporate

  • Funded Advanced Technologies Group with $1.0 billion – In July, we closed a $1.0 billion investment in ATG, which represents 14% ownership interest in ATG. The strategic partnership with Toyota and DENSO entered into in connection with their investment started in Q3 2019 with co-development already underway.
  • Completed $1.2 billion Senior Notes Offering – In September, we successfully raised $1.2 billion in senior unsecured notes due 2027, bringing our unrestricted cash balance to $12.7 billion as of the end of Q3 2019. We intend to use the proceeds from this offering primarily to fund a portion of the purchase price in connection with the closing of our pending acquisition of Careem Inc.

Recent Developments

  • Eats expansion into grocery via Cornershop acquisition – In October we agreed to acquire a majority stake in Cornershop, a leading provider of online grocery delivery in Chile and Mexico, and more recently in Peru and Toronto. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2020, subject to regulatory approval.
