Uber Beats on Revenue, CEO Tells CNBC the Company Is 'Investing Significantly' to Add Drivers

Revenue rose 10% as freight growth offset weaker ride-hailing and delivery results, while net income fell 92% from a year earlier.

  • On Wednesday, Uber reported third-quarter revenue of $14.77 billion, topping analyst estimates of $14.69 billion, though the company missed expectations in its two key businesses: mobility and delivery.
  • Gross bookings grew 20% in the third quarter, marking the company's fifth consecutive quarter above that threshold and driving total bookings to $59.8 billion.
  • Food delivery revenue increased 23% to $5.49 billion, trailing the $5.51 billion estimate, while the mobility unit saw a 2% decline to $7.52 billion, missing StreetAccount's $7.71 billion forecast.
  • Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said "elevated fuel prices and tighter driver availability weighed on supply growth in several international markets," adding the company is making "targeted investments to strengthen driver supply."
  • By year-end, Uber expects around 700 automated vehicles on its platform, adding Amazon's Zoox and Motional robotaxis in Las Vegas, while forecasting fourth-quarter bookings of $64.5 billion.
