Uber Announces Results for Third Quarter 2021

Gross Bookings reached an all-time high of $23.1 billion, up 57% year-over-year
Net loss of $2.4 billion with a $2.0 billion net headwind from revaluation of Uber’s equity investments
Adjusted EBITDA of +$8 million with Mobility margins at 5.5% of GB and Delivery approaching breakeven

SAN FRANCISCO – November 4, 2021 – Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
Financial Highlights for Third Quarter 2021
Gross Bookings grew 57% year-over-year (“YoY”) to $23.1 billion, or 53% on a constant currency basis, with Mobility Gross Bookings of $9.9 billion (+67% YoY) and Delivery Gross Bookings of $12.8 billion (+50% YoY). Trips during the quarter grew 39% YoY to 1.64 billion, or nearly 18 million trips per day on average.
Revenue grew 72% YoY to $4.8 billion, or 69% on a constant currency basis. Revenue benefited from a $123 million accrual release for the resolution of historical claims in the UK relating to the classification of drivers. Note that this benefit is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.
Mobility take rate of 22.3% included a 120 basis points (“bps”) positive impact from the UK accrual release. Excluding that benefit, Mobility take rate recovered 240 bps QoQ to 21.1% driven by a tapering of elevated driver supply investments in Q2. Delivery take rate expanded 220 bps QoQ and 410 bps YoY to 17.4%. Ongoing business model changes in certain Delivery markets benefited take rate by 400 bps in the quarter.
Net loss attributable to Uber Technologies, Inc. was $2.4 billion, which includes a $2.0 billion net headwind (pre-tax) from revaluation of Uber’s equity investments, primarily due to an unrealized loss of $3.2 billion (pre-tax) related to the revaluation of Uber’s Didi equity investment, partially offset by aggregate unrealized gains related to the revaluation of Uber’s Zomato, Aurora, and Joby stakes. Additionally, net loss includes $281 million in stock-based compensation expense.
Adjusted EBITDA of $8 million, up $517 million QoQ and $633 million YoY, to deliver Uber’s first Adjusted EBITDA profitable quarter as a public company.
Mobility Adjusted EBITDA of $544 million, up $365 million QoQ and $299 million YoY. Mobility Adjusted EBITDA margin as a percentage of Mobility Gross Bookings reached 5.5%, up from 2.1% in Q2 2021 and 4.1% in Q3 2020.
Delivery Adjusted EBITDA of $(12) million, improved by $149 million QoQ and by $171 million YoY. Delivery Adjusted EBITDA margin as a percentage of Delivery Gross Bookings, approached breakeven at (0.1)%, up from (1.2)% in Q2 2021 and (2.1)% in Q3 2020.
Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents were $6.5 billion at the end of the third quarter.

“Our early and decisive investments in driver growth are still paying dividends, with drivers steadily returning to the platform, leading to further improvement in the consumer experience,” said Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO. “This is especially important as Mobility reignites. Mobility Gross Bookings are up 18 percent over just the last two months and this Halloween weekend surpassed 2019 levels.”

“While we recognize it’s just a step, reaching total-company Adjusted EBITDA profitability is an important milestone for Uber,” said Nelson Chai, CFO. “Not only did our Mobility business recover to pre-COVID margins this quarter, our core restaurant delivery business was profitable on an Adjusted EBITDA basis for the first time as well, bringing the full Delivery segment close to breakeven.”

Outlook for Q4 2021
For Q4 2021, we anticipate:
Gross Bookings of $25 billion to $26 billion
Adjusted EBITDA of $25 million to $75 million

Financial Highlights for the Third Quarter 2021 (continued)
Mobility
Gross Bookings of $9.9 billion: Mobility Gross Bookings grew 63% YoY on a constant currency basis. On a sequential basis, Mobility Gross Bookings grew 14% QoQ, with strong growth in U.S. & Canada, EMEA and LatAm, partially offset by a decline in APAC as a result of COVID-19 related lockdowns in Australia and New Zealand.
3


Revenue of $2.2 billion: Mobility Revenue grew 36% QoQ and grew 62% YoY. Mobility Revenue benefited from a $123 million accrual release for the resolution of historical claims in the UK relating to the classification of drivers. Excluding the UK accrual release, Mobility Revenue grew 29% QoQ and grew 53% YoY.
Take rate of 22.3%: Mobility take rate improved 360 bps QoQ but declined 80 bps YoY. Take rate saw a 120 bps benefit from the UK accrual release. The sequential improvement was driven by a reduction in driver incentives and a more favorable geographical mix as U.S. & Canada recovered through the quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA of $544 million: Adjusted EBITDA increased $365 million QoQ and $299 million YoY. Adjusted EBITDA margin reached 5.5% of Gross Bookings, compared to 2.1% in Q2 2021 and 4.1% in Q3 2020. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved sequentially as a result of higher volume and lower driver incentives. On a YoY basis, margin improvement was primarily driven by better cost leverage from higher volume, more than offsetting higher driver incentives.
Delivery
Gross Bookings of $12.8 billion: Gross Bookings grew 46% YoY on a constant currency basis. On a sequential basis, Gross Bookings remained relatively stable (-1% QoQ), with growth in several markets including the U.S., Mexico, Australia, Japan and Taiwan, offset by a notable decline in France.
Revenue of $2.2 billion: Delivery Revenue grew 14% QoQ and 97% YoY. Take rate of 17.4% grew 220 bps QoQ and grew 410 bps YoY. Business model changes in some countries that classify certain payments and incentives as cost of revenue benefited Delivery take rate by 400 bps in the quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA of $(12) million: Adjusted EBITDA improved $149 million QoQ and $171 million YoY, driven by cost leverage, reduced incentive spend, and improved network efficiencies. Delivery Adjusted EBITDA margin was at (0.1)% as a percentage of Gross Bookings, compared to (1.2)% in Q2 2021 and (2.1)% in Q3 2020. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved sequentially owing to improved network efficiencies, reduced incentive spend and realization of Postmates synergies. On a YoY basis, margin improvement was driven by higher volume, in addition to sequential factors.
Freight
Freight delivered strong growth and improving EBITDA margins: Freight revenue grew 40% YoY, to $402 million, as shippers and carriers continue to utilize Uber Freight offerings to navigate a historically tight freight market. Freight improved Adjusted EBITDA by 52% YoY and improved Adjusted EBITDA margins as a percentage of Gross Bookings by 16.5% YoY to (8.7)%.
Corporate
Corporate G&A and Platform R&D: Corporate G&A and Platform R&D expenses of $489 million, compared to $486 million in Q2 2021, and $510 million in Q3 2020. On a YoY basis, Corporate G&A and Platform R&D decreased as a percentage of Gross Bookings due to cost control and improved fixed cost leverage.
GAAP and Non-GAAP Costs and Operating Expenses
Cost of revenue excluding D&A: GAAP cost of revenue was $2.4 billion. Non-GAAP cost of revenue was $2.3 billion, representing 10.1% of Gross Bookings, compared to 9.6% and 8.7% in Q2 2021 and Q3 2020 respectively. On a YoY basis, non-GAAP cost of revenue as a percentage of Gross Bookings increased due to the classification of certain Delivery payments and incentives as cost of revenue attributable to business model changes in some countries.
GAAP and Non-GAAP operating expenses (Non-GAAP operating expenses exclude certain amounts as further detailed in the Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures):
Operations and support: GAAP operations and support was $475 million. Non-GAAP operations and support was $431 million, representing 1.9% of Gross Bookings, compared to 1.8% and 2.4% in Q2 2021 and Q3 2020 respectively. On a YoY basis, non-GAAP operations and support as a percentage of Gross Bookings decreased due to improved fixed cost leverage.
Sales and marketing: GAAP sales and marketing was $1.2 billion. Non-GAAP sales and marketing was $1.1 billion, representing 5.0% of Gross Bookings, compared to 5.6% and 6.2% in Q2 2021 and Q3 2020 respectively. On a YoY basis, non-GAAP sales and marketing as a percentage of Gross Bookings decreased due to improved cost leverage with Gross Bookings growth outpacing sales and marketing expense growth. Additionally, Gross Bookings mix shifted towards Mobility, which carry lower associated sales and marketing costs.
Research and development: GAAP research and development was $493 million. Non-GAAP research and development was $338 million, representing 1.5% of Gross Bookings, compared to 1.5% and 2.7% in Q2 2021 and Q3 2020 respectively. On a YoY basis, non-GAAP research and development as a percentage of Gross Bookings decreased due to lower employee headcount costs, which was primarily driven by the sale of our ATG business in the first quarter of 2021.
4


General and administrative: GAAP general and administrative was $625 million. Non-GAAP general and administrative was $473 million, representing 2.0% of Gross Bookings, compared to 2.1% and 3.4% in Q2 2021 and Q3 2020 respectively. On a YoY basis, non-GAAP general and administrative as a percentage of Gross Bookings decreased due to lower employee headcount costs and improved fixed cost leverage.
Operating Highlights for the Third Quarter 2021
Platform
Trips of 1.64 billion: Trips on our platform grew 9% QoQ and 39% YoY, with sequential growth in both Mobility and Delivery trips.
Monthly Active Platform Consumers (“MAPCs”) reached 109 million: MAPCs grew 8% QoQ and grew 40% YoY to 109 million.
Membership: Uber Eats announced partnerships with Hulu in the US and Aeroplan in Canada, offering complimentary Eats pass to eligible Hulu subscribers and Aeroplan credit cardholders. Aeroplan’s credit card partnerships with TD, Amex, and CIBC represent three of the highest spending cardholder bases in Canada. Later this month, we'll be announcing an update to our membership program geared towards more cross-platform benefits, competitive offers, and member perks.
Supporting earners: Drivers and couriers earned an aggregate $8.6 billion during the quarter, with earnings up 60% YoY, outpacing Uber’s Gross Bookings growth of 57% YoY. We announced new global resources that are fully integrated in the Uber app for drivers and couriers who use Uber, including our partnership with Rosetta Stone and the ability to request a letter from Uber that describes the work they’ve done while using the Uber app.
Uber for Business (U4B): Annualized run rate Gross Bookings for our U4B business reached $4.1 billion in Q3, up 115% YoY on a constant currency basis, and surpassed U4B Gross Bookings in Q3 2019. U4B recorded strong growth in managed Mobility Gross Bookings as corporate Mobility use cases recovered with businesses returning to work, while Delivery use cases continue to grow as well.
Mobility
US driver supply recovery: Active US Mobility drivers in Q3 were up nearly 60% YoY, and improved through October with 10 consecutive weeks of driver growth since the end of August. As a result, consumer experience metrics have improved towards pre-COVID levels, with completed trips ETA close to 4.5 minutes at the end of October.
Airport recovery: Trips to and from airports represented 12% of Mobility Gross Bookings in Q3 2021, growing 35% QoQ and 203% YoY, outpacing the overall Mobility segment’s recovery as consumer travel trends improved. With airport trips rapidly recovering, we launched several new features to further improve consumers’ airport experience:
Uber Reserve at Airports: With a strong product market fit between Uber Reserve and airport trips, Reserve is now being introduced at airports. In addition to standard Reserve features, Uber will also automatically adjust pickup based on flight tracking, and offer curbside pickup at airports.
Ready When You Are: A new feature that allows riders to request a ride once they land—but only be picked up when they are ready. With options for pickup in 20 minutes, 10 minutes or as soon as possible, Ready When You Are allows riders to select a pickup time that works best for them, while still adding a level of certainty that a car is on the way.
Curbside Pickup: A new feature that helps match curbside riders with drivers more quickly. Using machine learning technology that predicts demand ahead of time, we dispatch drivers who can then be matched with riders at the curb for a quick and seamless experience. This feature is available at more than 15 airports across the world.
Mobile Ordering for Pickup: Uber Eats customers can order and pay in-app from select airport restaurants and skip the line to pick up their meal. This feature is currently piloting at the Toronto Pearson Airport, and will continue to roll out to US airports in the coming months.
Tesla EV rentals offered via Uber and Hertz partnership: Announced a new partnership with Hertz to make up to 50,000 fully electric Tesla Model 3 vehicles available for drivers to rent by 2023, exclusively for drivers using the Uber network in the US. This is the largest expansion of EVs on a mobility platform in North America and one of the largest globally.
Delivery
Reopening impact: Delivery continued to demonstrate strong consumer, merchant and courier metrics even as COVID-19 restrictions eased around the world. Delivery MAPCs, basket size and order frequency were stable QoQ, and grew nearly 24% YoY, 9% YoY and 10% YoY respectively. Active merchants grew 37% YoY to exceed 780K in Q3. Globally, active couriers grew 36% YoY, and grew 87% YoY in the US.
5


Ads: Advertising annualized revenue run rate reached well over $100 million in Q3 as active advertising merchants grew to over 140K. Uber’s proprietary advertising platform has now been rolled out to all Delivery markets except Germany.
Three-tiered merchant pricing: Introduced a new tiered pricing model for merchants, which gives flexibility to meet merchants’ preferences. The model includes 3 different packages: Lite, Plus, and Premium, which charge 15%, 25%, and 30% fees respectively. While Lite keeps costs low for merchants, Plus and Premium aim to maximize merchant sales by providing higher app visibility, consumer benefits such as lower delivery fees, as well as advertisement spend matching for Premium.
Drizly: Completed our acquisition of Drizly, North America’s leading alcohol delivery service, and the start of product integration. Over the coming months, Drizly’s marketplace will both be featured within the Uber Eats app and as a separate Drizly app and web experience. With the closing of this transaction, Uber’s alcohol delivery offering now reaches over 30 US states and Canada, and we expect expansion to continue.
Rapid delivery and dark grocery: Announced a new rapid grocery partnership with Carrefour and Cajoo within the Uber Eats app in France, with Cajoo fulfilling Carrefour rapid delivery demand originating on Uber Eats. In Taiwan, Uber owned-and-operated dark grocery locations are being tested as we develop local approaches to changing consumer demand.
Rite Aid partnership: Announced the expansion of our partnership with Rite Aid to offer delivery of Rite Aid products nationwide through the Uber platform. On-demand delivery is now available for over 2,180 Rite Aid locations on Uber Eats.
Baby + Kids Hub: Announced the launch of a new vertical, Baby + Kids, on Uber Eats anchored by merchant partners Bed Bath & Beyond and Buy Buy Baby to help parents get what they need on-demand. This new vertical also includes niche brands new to delivery like Yumi, Lalo and more.
Woolworths partnership: Announced a partnership with Woolworths, Australia’s biggest supermarket chain, to offer same-hour grocery delivery in Sydney and Melbourne, with national expansion by early next year. Orders from both Uber Eats or Woolworths website are fulfilled by Woolworths staff with delivery handled by Uber Eats couriers.
Freight
Expanded committed capacity product: Uber Freight’s committed capacity product introduced digital lane clustering, which groups together similar lanes with historically low volumes in order to increase TAM and load volumes available for dedicated carrier coverage.
Launched web-based carrier scorecard: The carrier scorecard incentivizes carriers to provide excellent performance, giving real-time access to track their own performance against Uber Freight’s quality standards. In Q3, Uber Freight maintained on-time delivery frequency at or above 94%.
Continued strong customer adoption: Uber Freight’s shipper offering continues to show product market fit with both new and existing shippers - the segment onboarded 91 new Enterprise / Mid market logos as of Q3’21 while awarded ‘best service’ honors from top shippers LG Electronics and Target Corp.
Corporate
Uber and Yandex N.V.: For a total consideration of $1.0 billion from Yandex, Uber agreed to sell its 18.5% equity interest in SDG and 4.5% of Uber’s equity interest in MLU B.V. In addition, through a demerger agreement, Yandex will acquire all of Uber’s equity interest in Yandex.Eats, Yandex.Lavka and Yandex.Delivery. Uber completed the sale of its entire equity interest in SDG and Uber’s equity interest in MLU B.V. to Yandex during the third quarter of 2021, and we expect the demerger shares closing to occur late in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Uber and James River: Aleka Insurance, Inc. (“Aleka”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Uber, entered into an agreement with subsidiaries of James River Group Holdings, Ltd. (“James River”). Pursuant to the agreement, Aleka will reinsure certain automobile liability insurance risks relating to activity on the Uber platform between 2013 and 2019 in exchange for payment by James River to Aleka of a premium in the amount of approximately $345 million (“Premium”). In connection with the LPTA, claims currently administered by James River will be transferred to a third-party claims administrator for ongoing handling.
Senior Notes offering: Uber issued $1.5 billion principal amount of Senior Notes due 2029, with the intent to use the proceeds to finance a portion of the consideration payable in cash, and certain related fees and expenses incurred, in connection with the acquisition of Transplace by Uber Freight.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our recurring core business operating results.
We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to our historical performance. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and (2) they are used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the health of our business.
There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures. In light of these limitations, we provide specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures and evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures together with their relevant financial measures in accordance with GAAP.
For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the sections titled “Key Terms for Our Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” “Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures” and “Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures” included at the end of this release. In regards to forward looking non-GAAP guidance, we are not able to reconcile the forward-looking non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA measure to the closest corresponding GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts because we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of certain significant items. These items include, but are not limited to, significant legal settlements,

unrealized gains and losses on equity investments, tax and regulatory reserve changes, restructuring costs and acquisition and financing related impacts.

Key Terms for Our Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), excluding (i) income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, (ii) net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, net of tax, (iii) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (iv) income (loss) from equity method investments, (v) interest expense, (vi) other income (expense), net, (vii) depreciation and amortization, (viii) stock-based compensation expense, (ix) certain legal, tax, and regulatory reserve changes and settlements, (x) goodwill and asset impairments/loss on sale of assets, (xi) acquisition, financing and divestitures related expenses, (xii) restructuring and related charges and (xiii) other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance, including COVID-19 response initiatives related payments for financial assistance to Drivers personally impacted by COVID-19, the cost of personal protective equipment distributed to Drivers, Driver reimbursement for their cost of purchasing personal protective equipment, the costs related to free rides and food deliveries to healthcare workers, seniors, and others in need as well as charitable donations. Our board and management find the exclusion of the impact of these COVID-19 response initiatives from Adjusted EBITDA to be useful because it allows us and our investors to assess the impact of these response initiatives on our results of operations.
All Other. Includes ATG and Other Technology Programs and historical results of New Mobility, formerly Other Bets. ATG and Other Technology Programs, which primarily consisted of our ATG business that was divested in the first quarter of 2021, and subsequent to the divestiture, is no longer a reportable segment and included within All Other.
COVID-19 response initiatives. To support those whose earning opportunities have been depressed as a result of COVID-19, as well as communities hit hard by the pandemic, we have announced and implemented several initiatives, including, in particular, payments for financial assistance to Drivers personally impacted by COVID-19, the cost of personal protective equipment distributed to Drivers, Driver reimbursement for their cost of purchasing personal protective equipment, the costs related to free rides and food deliveries to healthcare workers, seniors, and others in need as well as charitable donations. The payments for financial assistance to Drivers personally impacted by COVID-19 and Driver reimbursement for their cost of purchasing personal protective equipment are recorded as a reduction to revenue. The cost of personal protective equipment distributed to Drivers, the costs related to free rides and food deliveries to healthcare workers, seniors, and others in need as well as charitable donations are recorded as an expense in our costs and expenses.
Driver(s). The term Driver collectively refers to independent providers of ride or delivery services who use our platform to provide Mobility or Delivery services, or both.
Driver or restaurant earnings. Driver or restaurant earnings refer to the net portion of the fare or the net portion of the order value that a Driver or a restaurant retains, respectively.
Driver incentives. Driver incentives refer to payments that we make to Drivers, which are separate from and in addition to the Driver’s portion of the fare paid by the consumer after we retain our service fee to Drivers. For example, Driver incentives could include payments we make to Drivers should they choose to take advantage of an incentive offer and complete a consecutive number of trips or a cumulative number of trips on the platform over a defined period of time. Driver incentives are recorded as a reduction of revenue.
Gross Bookings. We define Gross Bookings as the total dollar value, including any applicable taxes, tolls, and fees, of Mobility and New Mobility rides, Delivery orders, and amounts paid by Freight shippers, in each case without any adjustment for consumer discounts and refunds, Driver and restaurant earnings, and Driver incentives. Gross Bookings do not include tips earned by Drivers.
Monthly Active Platform Consumers (“MAPCs”). We define MAPCs as the number of unique consumers who completed a Mobility or New Mobility ride or received a Delivery order on our platform at least once in a given month, averaged over each month in the quarter. While a unique consumer can use multiple product offerings on our platform in a given month, that unique consumer is counted as only one MAPC.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA. We define each segment’s Adjusted EBITDA as segment revenue less the following direct costs and expenses of that segment: (i) cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization; (ii) operations and support; (iii) sales and marketing; (iv) research and development; and (v) general and administrative. Segment Adjusted EBITDA also reflects any applicable exclusions from Adjusted EBITDA.
Take Rate. We define Take Rate as revenue as a percentage of Gross Bookings.
Trips. We define Trips as the number of completed consumer Mobility or New Mobility rides and Delivery orders in a given period. For example, an UberPOOL ride with three paying consumers represents three unique Trips, whereas an UberX ride with three passengers represents one Trip.
Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures
We collect and analyze operating and financial data to evaluate the health of our business and assess our performance. In addition to revenue, net income (loss), loss from operations, and other results under GAAP, we use: Adjusted EBITDA; Non-GAAP Costs and Operating Expenses; as well as, revenue growth rates in constant currency, which are described below, to evaluate our business. We have included these non-GAAP financial measures because they are key measures used by our management to evaluate our operating
13


performance. Accordingly, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and board of directors. Our calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures, if any, reported by our peer companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), excluding (i) income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, (ii) net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, net of tax, (iii) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (iv) income (loss) from equity method investments, (v) interest expense, (vi) other income (expense), net, (vii) depreciation and amortization, (viii) stock-based compensation expense, (ix) certain legal, tax, and regulatory reserve changes and settlements, (x) goodwill and asset impairments/loss on sale of assets, (xi) acquisition, financing and divestitures related expenses, (xii) restructuring and related charges and (xiii) other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance, including COVID-19 response initiatives related payments for financial assistance to Drivers personally impacted by COVID-19, the cost of personal protective equipment distributed to Drivers, Driver reimbursement for their cost of purchasing personal protective equipment, the costs related to free rides and food deliveries to healthcare workers, seniors, and others in need as well as charitable donations.
We have included Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and board of directors. In addition, it provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as it removes the effect of certain non-cash expenses and certain variable charges. To help our board, management and investors assess the impact of COVID-19 on our results of operations, we are excluding the impacts of COVID-19 response initiatives related payments for financial assistance to Drivers personally impacted by COVID-19, the cost of personal protective equipment distributed to Drivers, Driver reimbursement for their cost of purchasing personal protective equipment, the costs related to free rides and food deliveries to healthcare workers, seniors, and others in need as well as charitable donations from Adjusted EBITDA. Our board and management find the exclusion of the impact of these COVID-19 response initiatives from Adjusted EBITDA to be useful because it allows us and our investors to assess the impact of these response initiatives on our results of operations.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a financial measure, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and is not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These limitations include the following:
Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain recurring, non-cash charges, such as depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of intangible assets, and although these are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect all cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
Adjusted EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation expense, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in our business and an important part of our compensation strategy;
Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain restructuring and related charges, part of which may be settled in cash;
Adjusted EBITDA excludes other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance, including COVID-19 response initiatives related payments for financial assistance to Drivers personally impacted by COVID-19, the cost of personal protective equipment distributed to Drivers, Driver reimbursement for their cost of purchasing personal protective equipment, the costs related to free rides and food deliveries to healthcare workers, seniors, and others in need as well as charitable donations;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect period to period changes in taxes, income tax expense or the cash necessary to pay income taxes;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the components of other income (expense), net, which primarily includes: interest income; foreign currency exchange gains (losses), net; gain (loss) on business divestitures, net; unrealized gain (loss) on debt and equity securities, net; impairment of debt and equity securities; and other; and
Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain legal, tax, and regulatory reserve changes and settlements that may reduce cash available to us.
Constant Currency
We compare the percent change in our current period results from the corresponding prior period using constant currency disclosure. We present constant currency growth rate information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying revenue performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. We calculate constant currency by translating our current period financial results using the corresponding prior period’s monthly exchange rates for our transacted currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

Non-GAAP Costs and Operating Expenses
Costs and operating expenses are defined as: cost of revenue, exclusive of depreciation and amortization; operations and support; sales and marketing; research and development; and general and administrative expenses. We define Non-GAAP costs and operating expenses as costs and operating expenses excluding: (i) stock-based compensation expense, (ii) certain legal, tax, and regulatory reserve changes and settlements, (iii) goodwill and asset impairments/loss on sale of assets, (iv) certain acquisition, financing and divestiture related expenses, (v) restructuring and related charges and (vi) other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance, including COVID-19 response initiative related payments for financial assistance to Drivers personally impacted by COVID-19, the cost of personal protective equipment distributed to Drivers, Driver reimbursement for their cost of purchasing personal protective equipment, the costs related to free rides and food deliveries to healthcare workers, seniors, and others in need as well as charitable donations.
