Analysis
Uber reported broad operating growth in the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. Trips rose 18% YoY to 3,867 million, supported by 16% MAPC growth to 208 million and 2% YoY growth in monthly Trips per MAPC. Gross Bookings increased 24% YoY to $58,022 million, or 22% on a constant currency basis, while revenue increased 12% YoY to $14,191 million and 11% on a constant currency basis.
The difference between Gross Bookings and revenue growth reflects the disclosed effect of business model changes, which negatively impacted reported and constant-currency total revenue growth by 8 percentage points. Delivery was the fastest revenue growth contributor, with revenue up 28% YoY to $5,245 million, while Freight revenue increased 26% YoY to $1,583 million. Mobility revenue grew 1% YoY to $7,363 million and was flat on a constant currency basis, despite Mobility Gross Bookings growth of 22% YoY.
Profitability grew faster than revenue. GAAP Income from operations rose 30% YoY to $1,890 million, Adjusted EBITDA increased 33% YoY to $2,819 million, and Non-GAAP Operating Income increased 40% YoY to $2,143 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin as a percentage of Gross Bookings rose to 4.9% from 4.5%, while Non-GAAP Operating Income as a percentage of Gross Bookings rose to 3.7% from 3.3%. GAAP net income of $2,394 million included a $1.6 billion net benefit, pre-tax, from revaluations of Uber’s equity investments, making that item important in assessing the GAAP earnings increase.
Cash generation remained substantial, with net cash provided by operating activities of $2,862 million and free cash flow of $2,792 million. Unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were $5.4 billion at quarter end, and the CFO said trailing twelve-month free cash flow exceeded $10 billion for the first time. The release did not disclose repurchase or dividend amounts, although management stated it would continue to reduce share count.
For Q3 2026, Uber guided to Gross Bookings of $58.25 billion to $60.25 billion, representing 18% to 22% YoY constant-currency growth, with a roughly 1 percentage-point currency headwind to reported growth. It also guided to Non-GAAP EPS of $0.84 to $0.88 and Adjusted EBITDA of $2.86 billion to $2.96 billion. The guide places attention on whether ongoing trip, consumer, Delivery, and Freight momentum continues while Mobility revenue growth and the revenue effect of business model changes remain relevant.
