- Revenue grew 49% YoY to $8.6 billion, or 59% on a constant currency basis, with Revenue growth significantly outpacing Gross Bookings growth due to a change in the business model for our UK Mobility business and the acquisition of Transplace by Uber Freight.
- Net income attributable to Uber Technologies, Inc. was $595 million, which includes a $756 million net benefit (pre-tax) primarily due to net unrealized gains related to the revaluation of Uber’s equity investments.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $665 million, up $579 million YoY. Adjusted EBITDA margin as a percentage of Gross Bookings was 2.2%, up from 0.3% in Q4 2021. Incremental margin as a percentage of Gross Bookings was 11.9% YoY.
