富有爭議的創(chuàng)始人特拉維斯·卡蘭尼克辭職，達(dá)拉·科斯羅薩西繼而掌權(quán)一年后，Uber依然面臨著九位數(shù)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(shí)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(bào)道，按美國通用會計(jì)準(zhǔn)則（GAAP）計(jì)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(shí)現(xiàn)凈利潤25億美元（其中包括轉(zhuǎn)讓俄羅斯和東南亞資產(chǎn)所得收益）。2017年第四季度Uber虧損了11億美元。

同時(shí)，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(guān)鍵原因是Uber的核心叫車業(yè)務(wù)步伐放緩。第二季度，總訂單金額同比增長38%，達(dá)到120億美元，而第一季度的同比增幅為55%。

Uber一直在新領(lǐng)域中尋找增長點(diǎn)，比如外賣服務(wù)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(duì)，Uber仍在耗費(fèi)大量資金。

預(yù)計(jì)Uber最快將在2018年底上市。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

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.
