The important context to set behind this discussion is that Uber's gross bookings have never been stronger. Gross bookings across both mobility and delivery in July were up 45% versus 2019, having recovered in leaps and bounds from the depths of the pandemic.</p>\n<p>Figure 1. Uber gross bookings trends</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/805a3bdea024c0302a037822a637b8f0\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"357\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>Source: Uber Q2 investor presentation</span></p>\n<p>So it makes sense that Uber wants to invest dramatically to bring drivers back onto the platform and improve availability. Consumers view rideshare as more or less a uniform service: given roughly equivalent prices, a user will likely use the rideshare app that offers the lowest wait times.</p>\n<p>As shown in the chart below, the number of drivers on the Uber platform has spiked 50% since February, and over the same time period, wait times have also improved across a number of major urban markets, especially dense urban centers like Miami and Atlanta.</p>\n<p>Figure 2. Uber driver and wait time statistics</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/519c7bb069aba3ce11e084fc458a0594\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"357\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Uber Q2 investor presentation</span></p>\n<p>This is Uber's opportunity to showcase its size advantage over Lyft(NASDAQ:LYFT). If Uber can consistently show better wait times and availability in these markets than its competitors, customers may eventually stop checking competitor applications and rely exclusively on Uber.</p>\n<p>To me, I'm more than happy to sacrifice one or two quarters of adjusted EBITDA profits in order to achieve the right capacity to handle post-reopening rideshare demand. Uber's -$509 million in adjusted EBITDA in Q2 wasn't that bad (it's the best Q2 in two years, in fact, and a slimmer loss even compared to Q2'19 at -$656 million):</p>\n<p>Figure 3. Uber adjusted EBITDA trends</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/97d00355ad6418c2949cdd78af6836b2\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"360\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Uber Q2 investor presentation</span></p>\n<p>The big long-term driver here of course is Delivery's increased economies of scale. The Delivery segment has reached a -$161 million adjusted EBITDA profile, representing a near-breakeven -8.2% adjusted EBITDA margin in Q2: which is substantially improved versus a -$232 million loss (-26.2% margin) in the year-ago Q2.</p>\n<p>Uber also notes that its Uber Pass program, a $25/month membership that gives riders a 10-15% discount on rides, no delivery fees, and a 5% discount on restaurant orders, has been picking up steam and now represents about a third of its delivery customers. The increase in frequent ridership driven by this program will also help Uber to scale all of its lines of business. Per CEO Dara Khosrowshahi's prepared remarks on the Q2 earnings call:</p>\n<blockquote>\n Just a year ago we began to roll out Uber Pass in earnest. It now drives 30% of Delivery GBs in the US, and roughly 25% globally. Consumers who regularly engage with both Mobility and Delivery now account for nearly half of our total company Gross Bookings. For these consumers in particular, Pass is a no-brainer, and we see a long runway for increased adoption. We're also seeing the benefits of cross-platform synergies for merchants and other businesses. Uber remains the largest global on-demand delivery platform outside of China, with more than 750,000 monthly active merchants on our platform. And our leadership position continues to grow. We are now the category leader in 8 of our top 10 Delivery markets, with clear number two positions in the US and UK.\"\n</blockquote>\n<p>Uber is expecting adjusted EBITDA losses to slim down to \"$100 million or better\" by Q3, as shown in the chart below:</p>\n<p>Figure 4. Uber forward-looking adjusted EBITDA guidance</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b3c1cba8d64af585450ddae1e15ec4f5\" tg-width=\"640\" tg-height=\"321\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Uber Q2 investor presentation</span></p>\n<p>The improvement will be driven by both continued synergies/economies of scale on the delivery side, plus a slowdown in driver incentives (the company has already achieved tremendous growth in its driver base, and so the driver stimulus it implemented in Q2 will gradually phase out).</p>\n<p>Even better, Uber expects to hit consolidated profitability on an adjusted EBITDA basis by Q4, which is what the company originally committed at the start of the year: to reach adjusted EBITDA profitability at a quarterly level at least by the end of 2021.</p>\n<p><b>Key takeaways</b></p>\n<p>Uber has become one of the most globally-recognized consumer brands, and it's one that is emerging from the pandemic as a stronger company. A dramatically expanded delivery business and delivery margins, a strong recovery in rideshare bookings, and new growth opportunities in grocery and freight are just a few reasons investors should retain their confidence in Uber.
