Losses widen by nearly $150m from the first quarter but 2021 profit goal remains in reach

Tina Bellon and Akanksha RanaUber Technologies on Wednesday reported widening losses even as trips and deliveries grew as driver incentives hit revenue at the ride-hailing and food delivery company.

But Uber reaffirmed its goal of hitting profitability on an adjusted ebitda basis at the end of 2021 and said it would reduce losses to $100m in the third quarter. That assumes the more contagious Delta variant does not reverse a gradual reopening of the US economy, an issue that rival Lyft said on Tuesday it was monitoring.

Uber spent $250m in driver incentive investment in the second quarter, which increased losses at its ride-hailing business. Uber said mobility profitability will expand significantly as US and Canadian driver investments fade, a trend it has witnessed in Australia and other markets. “More so to offset any losses given the uncertainty surrounding the Delta variant later in the year,” Pescatore said.
