While the financial results of the ride-sharing company for Q2 2020 did beat Wall Street’s estimates, they were still approximately 29% weaker compared to the same period last year.

Shares plummeted with more than 2% shortly after the news. Let’s take a closer look at how Uber fared in the past three months:

 

– Total revenue: $2.24 billion vs. estimates of $2.18 billion

– Losses per share: $1.02 cents vs. estimates of 86 cents

– Revenue from booked rides: $3.05 billion vs. estimates of  $3.47 billion

Revenue from food deliveries: $6.96 billion vs. $6.57 billion

 

Uber reasoned that the weak bookings had to do with the government-imposed travel restrictions due to COVID-19, which led to a 73% decrease in rides for the period. At the same time, the company’s food delivery businesses skyrocketed by 113%.

According to CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, Uber’s ride-hailing service is recovering at varied rates across the world: in the past three months, bookings were down 50% to 85% in the U.S., but only about 35% in leading European markets like France, Spain, and Germany.
