• Q2 results exceeded expectations: Gross bookings rose 22% year over year to more than $58 billion, while non-GAAP EPS increased 35% and trailing 12-month free cash flow surpassed $10 billion for the first time.
• U.S. mobility growth accelerated across trips and bookings, supported by insurance savings reinvested into the market, product innovation, and expansion in lower-penetration suburban and smaller markets. Management said first-time-user momentum and cross-platform adoption remain broad-based.
• Uber expects its Delivery Hero transaction to roughly double the number of markets offering its combined mobility and delivery platform, with integration and cost synergies expected from consolidating technology and shared services.
• Uber is expanding its autonomous-vehicle ecosystem to 15 cities by year-end and expects further launches through 2028, while AV Labs will collect rideshare-specific data to support partners. Management emphasized that commercialization will be gradual and that regulation, safety, utilization, and vehicle economics remain important hurdles.
• After deploying roughly $4 billion toward Delivery Hero-related purchases in Q2, Uber said it plans to rebuild share repurchases over the coming months toward its historical goal of returning about 50% of free cash flow to shareholders.
