Uber Technologies Inc. had $50 billion in total bookings for its ride-service and food-delivery businesses last year.
The revenue of Uber in the fourth quarter was $3 billion. This is a rise of 24 percent from the corresponding previous year and 2 percent from the third quarter.
The total revenue of Uber in 2018 was $11.3 billion. This is 43 percent higher than the previous year. In 2018, Uber’s losses before taxes, depreciation, and other expenses were $1.8 billion which is less than the $2.2 billion loss posted in 2017.
“Last year was our strongest yet, and Q4 set another record,” said the Uber Chief Financial Officer Nelson Chai.
