Uber Technologies, Inc. (UBER) reported a strong financial performance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, demonstrating significant growth across its core segments.
Revenue surged by 18% year-over-year to $43.98 billiona, driven by robust increases in Mobility and Delivery Gross Bookings, up 25% and 17% respectively on a constant currency basis. This growth was fueled by higher trip volumes across both segments. The company also achieved a significant milestone in profitability, with net income attributable to Uber Technologies, Inc. reaching $9.86 billion, a substantial increase from $1.89 billion in the prior year.
This improvement was notably bolstered by a $6.4 billionb benefit from releasing a valuation allowance on certain U.S. deferred tax assets.

Strategic initiatives, including investments in membership programs like Uber One and expansion of advertising services, continue to drive user engagement and provide diversified revenue streams.
The company ended the year with a healthy $7.0 billionc in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, and actively managed its debt through significant redemptions. While the Freight segment experienced a slight decline in Gross Bookings, the overall positive financial trajectory suggests Uber is effectively executing its growth strategy and capitalizing on market opportunities across its diverse platform offerings.
