Investing.com – Uber on Thursday reported a wider-than-expected loss as the stay-at-home measures to contain the Covid-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on its ride-sharing business.
Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE:UBER) shares lost 3.28% in after-hours trade following the report.
Uber Tech announced a loss per share of $1.02 on revenue of $2.24 billion. Analysts polled by Investing.com anticipated a loss of 80 cents a share on revenue of $2.09 billion.
Gross bookings fell 35% to $10.2 billion for the quarter compared to last year, missing analysts’ consensus of $10.50 billion, led by a 75% slump in gross booking for Uber’s rides, its core ride-sharing business.
Uber Eats, however, benefited from the pandemic-led surge in food delivery demand, with gross bookings up 106% for the quarter compared to last year.
Monthly active platform consumers, a tally of each consumer who completed a ride or ordered a meal, declined 44% to 55 million in the quarter.
Despite the wider loss, the company said it had continued confidence that it “will achieve adjusted EBITDA profitability before the end of 2021.”
