American multinational transportation Uber lost nine thousand 141 million dollars in 2022, multiplying by 18 the 496 million of 2021, due to the devaluation of some assets, in a year in which its income skyrocketed due to the return to activity after the pandemic.
As reported by the US company on Wednesday, its turnover increased 82% last year, up to 31 thousand 877 million, exceeding the expectations of analysts, and shooting up its stock market value by 8% in electronic operations prior to the opening of Wall Street.
The company’s accounts show a $7 billion negative impact related to Uber’s equity investments, primarily a result of cumulative unrealized losses on its holdings in Grab, Aurora and Didi.
During the last quarter of the year, data to which the markets paid the most attention, Uber had a net profit of 595 million, 33% less than in the same period of 2021with most of those gains tied to investments in third-party companies.
“We finished 2022 with our strongest quarter ever, with robust demand and record margins,” Dara Khosrowshahi, the company’s chief executive, said in a statement.
Meanwhile, the turnover of the company based in San Francisco (USA) between October and December amounted to 8,607 million, 49% more.
This sharp rise is linked above all to a greater number of trips, since Uber’s “mobility” unit entered 82% year-on-year in the last three months of 2022, up to four thousand 136 million dollars.
