But that was largely due to a $1.6 billion gain from thesale of its self-driving unit, ATG. Uber’s operating loss was still high for the quarter at more than $1.5 billion.<blockquote>总体而言，Uber 的净亏损为 1.08 亿美元，比 2020 年第四季度的 9.68 亿美元亏损有了巨大改善。但这主要是由于出售其自动驾驶部门 ATG 带来的 16 亿美元收益。Uber 本季度的运营亏损仍然很高，超过 15 亿美元。</blockquote>Uber reaffirmed its expectation to reach profitability on an adjusted EBITDA basis by the end of this year.<blockquote>Uber 重申预计到今年年底将在调整后的 EBITDA 基础上实现盈利。</blockquote>Its adjusted EBITDA loss was $359 million, which improved by $95 million from the prior quarter. EBITDA refers to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.<blockquote>调整后 EBITDA 亏损为 3.59 亿美元，比上一季度增加 9500 万美元。EBITDA是指利息、税项、折旧和摊销前的利润。</blockquote>The company said its mobility take rate is expected to decline about 20% in the second quarter.<blockquote>该公司表示，预计第二季度其移动出行率将下降约20%。</blockquote>“For the remainder of the year, I would remind you that delivery gross bookings year-over-year comparisons will become tougher as we continue to face significant forecasting uncertainty in predicting post-reopening consumer behavior,” CFO Nelson Chai said on a call with investors.<blockquote>“首席财务官 Nelson Chai 在与投资者的看涨期权上说：”在今年剩余时间里，我要提醒您，由于我们在预测重新开业后的消费者行为时继续面临重大的预测不确定性，外卖总预订量的同比比较将变得更加困难。</blockquote>Here’s how Uber’s largest business segments performed in the first quarter of 2021:<blockquote>以下是 Uber 最大业务部门在 2021 年第一季度的表现：</blockquote><ul><li>Mobility (gross bookings):&nbsp;$6.77 billion, down 38% from a year ago</li><li>Delivery (gross bookings): $12.46 billion, up 166% from a year ago</li></ul>Delivery revenue also outperformed its core ride-hailing business at $1.7 billion, compared with $853 million.

The company said last month it would spend&nbsp;$250 million&nbsp;on a one-time stimulusaimed at getting drivers back on the road. If it can’t bring in enough drivers to meet demand, the company could face annoyed customers who are having to shell out more cash or it might even have to put out more incentives.<blockquote>优步还面临着对更多司机的迫切且不断增长的需求，在新冠疫苗和限制放松后，优步难以满足需求。该公司上个月表示，将斥资 2.5 亿美元实施一次性刺激措施，旨在让司机重返道路。如果公司不能引进足够的司机来满足需求，公司可能会面临不得不支付更多现金的恼怒客户，甚至可能不得不推出更多激励措施。</blockquote>Uber said it has approximately 3.5 million drivers and couriers on its platform, up 4% quarter over quarter but still down 22% year over year.<blockquote>Uber 表示，其平台上约有 350 万司机和快递员，环比增长 4%，但同比仍下降 22%。</blockquote>Trips on the platform were flat quarter over quarter at 1.45 billion and 13% below the same quarter a year ago. The company said its continued growth in delivery trips is offsetting declines in its mobility unit.<blockquote>该平台的出行次数环比持平，为 14.5 亿美元，比去年同期下降 13%。该公司表示，送货出行的持续增长抵消了移动部门的下降。</blockquote>Uber also faced pressure during the quarter in the U.K. after the nation’s Supreme Courtupheld a rulingthat its drivers are workers, not independent contractors.<blockquote>本季度，Uber 在英国也面临压力，因为英国最高法院裁定其司机是工人，而不是独立承包商。</blockquote>The company said it took a $600 million hit to ride-hailing revenue “due to the accrual made for the resolution of historical claims in the UK relating to the classification of drivers.”<blockquote>该公司表示，“由于为解决英国与司机分类有关的历史索赔而产生的应计费用”，网约车收入减少了 6 亿美元。</blockquote>Classifying drivers as contractors allows the companies to avoid the costly benefits associated with employment, such as unemployment insurance. If a similar measure ends up passing in the United States, it could make it harder for them to reach profitability.<blockquote>将司机归类为承包商可以让公司避免与就业相关的昂贵福利，例如失业保险。如果类似的措施最终在美国获得通过，这可能会使他们更难实现盈利。</blockquote>Executives said they believe there’s space in the Biden-Harris administration to have an open dialogue.<blockquote>高管们表示，他们相信拜登-哈里斯政府有进行公开对话的空间。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Uber losses dramatically improve thanks to sale of self-driving unit<blockquote>由于出售自动驾驶部门，Uber 的亏损大幅改善</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nUber losses dramatically improve thanks to sale of self-driving unit<blockquote>由于出售自动驾驶部门，Uber 的亏损大幅改善</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n<a class=\"head\" href=\"https://laohu8.com/wemedia/1079075236\">\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\nTiger Newspress \n2021-05-06 08:29\n</div>\n</a>\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nUberbeat estimates on the top line and dramatically improved its net losses in itsfirst quarterbut missed on revenue.<blockquote>Uber 超出了营收预期，第一季度净亏损大幅改善，但收入未达预期。</blockquote>Shares initially gained in after-hours trading before dipping more than 4.5%.<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c19ef83e736dbd9b729a4cfa9c05d0d2\" tg-width=\"1302\" tg-height=\"833\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Here’s how Uber did versus expectations:<blockquote>股价最初在盘后交易中上涨，随后下跌超过 4.5%。以下是 Uber 的表现与预期：</blockquote><ul><li>Loss:6 cents vs. 54 cents expected, according to a consensus of analysts surveyed by Refinitiv.</li><li>Revenue:$2.90 billion vs. $3.29 billion expected per Refinitiv.</li></ul><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/faa62cd16bc8e422160a12eaf889b22a\" tg-width=\"1053\" tg-height=\"635\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">It’s difficult for investors to compare year-over-year numbers from the company, as the Covid-19 pandemic began to take hold a year ago and severely restricted travel.
