In the third quarter of 2025, Uber Technologies delivered revenue growth of 20% year-over-year, driven by record trip volumes that surpassed 1.8 billion rides globally. The company reported GAAP earnings per share of $3.11, significantly ahead of analyst consensus, reflecting both higher take rates in core markets and improved unit economics in emerging regions. Key growth markets in North America and Europe each contributed more than $4 billion in quarterly gross bookings, underscoring continued demand for ride-hailing services.

Uber achieved sustained GAAP profitability during Q3, reporting net income of $750 million compared to a loss in the same quarter last year. Free cash flow expanded to $1.2 billion, up 25% sequentially, as disciplined cost management and fixed-cost leverage reduced operating expenses by $150 million compared to Q2. The company’s focus on lowering incentive spend and optimizing driver incentives contributed to a 300-basis-point improvement in adjusted EBITDA margin, paving the way for potential shareholder returns through buybacks or dividends in the coming quarters.

Both Mobility and Delivery segments posted double-digit revenue growth—22% and 18% year-over-year, respectively—with Mobility gross bookings reaching $18 billion and Delivery gross bookings at $10 billion. Cross-platform engagement remains a strategic priority: over 30% of active users now engage with both services, driving a 12% lift in average monthly spend per user. Retention rates improved by 5 percentage points compared to Q3 2024, as personalized promotions and integrated loyalty benefits increased customer lifetime value and reduced churn across mature and emerging markets.
