First-Quarter Results and Guidance
Uber’s first-quarter revenue rose 14% year-over-year but fell short of analyst expectations. The company posted stronger gross bookings and earnings that exceeded forecasts. Trips and active users also increased during the period.
For Q2, Uber set gross bookings guidance between $56.25 billion and $57.75 billion, above analyst estimates. The outlook reflects robust demand for ride-hailing and delivery services, partly offset by challenges related to the Middle East conflict.
Uber One membership reached 50 million at the end of the quarter. Members now account for roughly half of gross bookings across Mobility and Delivery. The company said this milestone supports its platform strategy and serves as a key driver for near-term bookings growth.
CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said, "As we highlighted at GO-GET, from innovative travel integrations to new ways to shop, we're continuing to deepen the role Uber plays in daily life."
