Did UBER Beat Earnings? Q1 2025 Results
Uber Technologies delivered a standout first quarter in 2025, with earnings per share of $0.83 beating the $0.50 consensus estimate by 65.04%, even as revenue of $11.53 billion came in just shy of the $11.62 billion Wall Street expected, a modest miss of 0.74% despite growing 13.8% year over year. The headline profit story was driven by a dramatic swing in operating performance, with income from operations surging to $1.23 billion from just $172 million a year ago, while net income reached $1.78 billion compared to a net loss of $654 million in Q1 2024, a reversal that reflected both strong platform leverage and significantly lower legal and administrative costs. Trips grew 18% to 3.0 billion, gross bookings reached $42.82 billion, and adjusted EBITDA expanded 35% to $1.87 billion. Bullish analyst sentiment around Uber's evolution into a scaled logistics platform appears increasingly supported by the numbers. Looking ahead, the company guided Q2 gross bookings of $45.75 billion to $47.25 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $2.02 billion to $2.12 billion.
