18年第二季度Uber虧損8.91億美元,收入增速放緩
富有爭議的創(chuàng)始人特拉維斯·卡蘭尼克辭職,達拉·科斯羅薩西繼而掌權一年后,,Uber依然面臨著九位數的巨額虧損,。唯一的不同是,現(xiàn)在它又出現(xiàn)了收入增速放緩的問題,。 投資者可以容忍虧損但加速增長的公司,,甚至是增速放緩但創(chuàng)造大量利潤的公司。然而,,盡管實際情況表明和丑聞不斷的2017年相比,, 2018年對Uber來說要平靜得多,但這家公司在業(yè)績方面依然處境不妙,。 CNBC和Axios等幾家新聞媒體報道,按美國通用會計準則(GAAP)計算,2018年第二季度Uber凈虧損8.91億美元,,而第一季度該公司實現(xiàn)凈利潤25億美元(其中包括轉讓俄羅斯和東南亞資產所得收益),。2017年第四季度Uber虧損了11億美元。 同時,,第二季度收入為27億美元,,同比增長49%,低于第一季度67%的增速,。 收入增速下降的關鍵原因是Uber的核心叫車業(yè)務步伐放緩,。第二季度,總訂單金額同比增長38%,,達到120億美元,,而第一季度的同比增幅為55%。 Uber一直在新領域中尋找增長點,,比如外賣服務UberEats以及出租自行車和電動車,,但為了打造自動駕駛汽車車隊,Uber仍在耗費大量資金,。 預計Uber最快將在2018年底上市,。(財富中文網) 譯者:Charlie 審校:夏林 |
A year after Dara Khosrowshahi took the reins at Uber following the resignation of controversial founder Travis Kalanick, the company is still facing massive, six-figure losses. Only now it’s also grappling with slower revenue growth. Investors can tolerate losses in a company enjoying accelerating growth. Or even slower revenue growth in a company with strong profits. But even while 2018 has proven to be a much more tranquil year than Uber’s scandal-filled 2017, it’s still finding itself on the wrong side of those equations. Several news outlets, including CNBC and Axios, reported that Uber posted a GAAP net loss of $891 million in the second quarter of 2018. That compared to a $2.5 billion net profit in the first quarter (which included proceeds from the sale of assets in Russia and Southeast Asia) and a $1.1 billion loss in the quarter before that. Revenue, meanwhile, rose 49% year over year to $2.7 billion. That’s down from the 67% growth rate in the first quarter. The key reason for the slower growth may be a slowdown in Uber’s core ride-hailing business. Gross bookings rose 38% year-over-year in the second quarter to $12 billion. In the first quarter, gross bookings rose at a 55% annual rate. Uber has been seeing growth in new areas such as UberEats and bike and scooter rentals, but it still faces heavy spending on creating a fleet of autonomous cars. Uber is expected to take its company public as early as late 2018. |
