Uber Technologies Reports Strong Growth in Revenue and Users
Uber Technologies Inc. Is experiencing a period of robust growth, with revenue reaching $43.9 billion in 2024, an 18% increase compared to the previous year, according to recent data. The company’s performance is bolstered by a rising number of active users and increased engagement on its platform.
As of August 7, 2025, Monthly Active Platform Customers (MAPCs) reached a record 180 million, a 15% year-over-year increase. This represents the fastest growth rate since early 2024, driven by the addition of 10 million new customers. Trip volumes also saw a significant surge, increasing 18% for the third consecutive quarter to 3.3 billion, averaging 36 million trips per day.
Uber’s success is also reflected in increased customer engagement, with trips per customer reaching a record 6.1 per month. The Uber One membership program is playing a key role in this growth, surging 60% to 36 million members, now representing 20% of the total customer base. This growth is attributed to geographic expansion and the introduction of new benefits.
Gross Bookings accelerated to $46.8 billion, while revenue grew 18% year-over-year to $12.7 billion, matching the pace of constant currency growth. Mobility revenue reached $7.3 billion, up 19% (18% in constant currency), benefiting from record engagement and easing insurance costs. Delivery revenue experienced its fastest growth since the second quarter of 2022, increasing 25% (23% constant currency) to $4.1 billion, fueled by higher membership adoption and growth in Grocery and Retail (G&R) services.
The company’s operating margin improved to 11% from 7% a year ago, resulting in a record operating income of $1.5 billion. Efficiency gains in customer acquisition are contributing to this profitability, with Sales and Marketing expenses decreasing from nearly 40% of revenue at their peak to just 9-10% in recent years. An additional $95 million in Sales and Marketing spend generated $2 billion in incremental revenue, representing a 20x return on investment.
Cross-platform engagement is proving particularly valuable, with customers who use both Mobility and Delivery services demonstrating 35% higher retention rates and generating triple the gross bookings and profits compared to users who utilize only a single service.
Cash generation remains strong, with operating cash flow up 41% to $2.6 billion and free cash flow up 44% to $2.5 billion. This has resulted in a record $8.5 billion in trailing twelve-month free cash flow.
S&P Global Ratings currently has a positive outlook for Uber Technologies Inc., expecting the company’s scale and technology platform to drive healthy organic growth and free cash flow. , S&P noted this positive outlook.
Despite the positive financial performance, Seeking Alpha reported that Uber shares may be “pricey” despite showing strong revenue and user growth, and expansion in AI and autonomous technologies.
