Quarter Results and Metrics
Uber filed a Form 8-K with the SEC on Aug. 3, including Exhibit 99.1 with the earnings release, and a Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The results release, distributed via Business Wire at 6:55 a.m. ET on Aug. 5, said the platform reached record consumers and engagement. The company added more first-time users over the past twelve months than in any period in the last five years.
Gross bookings for Q2 2026 rose 22% year over year on a constant-currency basis to $58.0 billion. Revenue increased 11% to $14.2 billion. On a GAAP basis, income from operations was $1.9 billion, net income was $2.4 billion, and diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $1.17. Adjusted EBITDA, a proxy for operating profit, was $2.8 billion, non-GAAP EPS was $0.81, and free cash flow totaled $2.8 billion. These figures highlight strong near-term cash generation as Uber expands its consumer base and engagement across delivery and mobility.
Guidance and Investment Plans
Uber set third-quarter bookings guidance at a midpoint of $59.25 billion, slightly below the FactSet average estimate of $59.33 billion. Management also forecast adjusted earnings below Wall Street estimates and said foreign-exchange effects would weigh on bookings growth.
The company reaffirmed plans to invest heavily in robotaxis and acquisitions, signaling continued capital intensity rather than an immediate focus on margin improvement. This combination of strong cash flow and ongoing strategic spending frames investor attention on balancing growth and currency pressures with long-term investments.
