Uber Technologies stock weighs Mobility drag against Q4 growth

Uber Technologies reported strong third-quarter platform growth on November 4, but the latest outlook puts more emphasis on Mobility execution. The company's third-quarter results release showed Gross Bookings rising 20 percent year over year to 59.819 billion US dollars for the period ended September 30.

Growth Remains Broad Across The Platform

Revenue increased 10 percent to 14.766 billion US dollars, while trips rose 16 percent to 4.1 billion and monthly active platform consumers grew 14 percent to 215 million. Adjusted EBITDA advanced 31 percent to 2.963 billion US dollars, lifting the margin against Gross Bookings to 5.0 percent from 4.5 percent a year earlier.

The business mix was uneven. Mobility Gross Bookings grew 18 percent to 29.51 billion US dollars, Delivery Gross Bookings increased 22 percent to 28.54 billion US dollars and Freight Gross Bookings rose 35 percent to 1.77 billion US dollars. Mobility revenue nevertheless declined 2 percent to 7.52 billion US dollars, while Delivery revenue increased 23 percent to 5.49 billion US dollars.

Mobility Pressure Shapes The Outlook

Uber said the conflict in the Middle East reduced Mobility Gross Bookings growth by 75 basis points in the third quarter and assumed a 100-basis-point drag for the fourth quarter. Driver availability, regional demand and the pace of platform investment therefore remain important variables for the next report.

For the fourth quarter, Uber expects Gross Bookings of 63.25 billion to 65.25 billion US dollars, constant-currency growth of 18 percent to 22 percent and adjusted EBITDA of 3.13 billion to 3.23 billion US dollars. The outlook also includes an estimated one-percentage-point currency headwind to reported growth.
