Uber has cracked US$2 billion (AU$2.89 billion) in global advertising revenue, according to financial figures the rideshare giant released yesterday.
That number came off the back of more than 50 per cent revenue growth year on year.
Uber’s delivery advertising also exceeded 2 per cent of Delivery Gross Bookings, driven by Sponsored Listings and Sponsored Items adoption.
The company’s overall revenue climbed 20 per cent year on year to US$14.4 billion. Trips during the Q4 grew 22 per cent year-over-year to 3.8 billion, driven by Monthly Active Platform Consumers growth of 18 per cent year on year and monthly Trips per MAPC growth of 3 per cent year on year.
“Uber accelerated into another record-breaking quarter, with more than 200 million monthly users completing more than 40 million trips every day—our largest and most engaged consumer base ever,” said Dara Khosrowshahi CEO. “We enter 2026 with a rapidly growing topline, significant cash flow, and a clear path to becoming the largest facilitator of AV trips in the world.”
“Our performance this year reflects the significant power of our platform strategy, with $193 billion in Gross Bookings and $10 billion in free cash flow,” said Prashanth Mahendra-Rajah CFO. “Uber is a once-in-a-generation company with enormous opportunity still ahead, and it has been a true privilege—and a great deal of fun—to have played my part in its success.”
“After five years of 20 per cent growth, we are entering 2026 with strong momentum, while remaining solidly on track to deliver on our three-year growth and profit outlook,” said Balaji Krishnamurthy incoming CFO. “With large and growing free cash flows, over the coming years we will invest with discipline across a multitude of opportunities, including positioning Uber to win in an AV future.”
