08 优步首次实现调整后盈利

Uber delivered investors its first profitable quarter on an adjusted basis, thanks to a rapidly recovering rideshare business and the popularity of food delivery.

优步（Uber）向投资者提供了首个经调整后的盈利季度，这要归功于拼车业务的迅速复苏和外卖的流行。

Uber’s preferred “adjusted ebitda” metric of the company’s underlying health excludes multiple costs including interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation, as well as stock based compensation. On that basis, it eked out a $8m profit in this year’s third quarter, up$625m on the same period last year.

优步首选的衡量公司基本健康状况的“经调整的ebitda”指标，不包括利息、税收、折旧和摊销等多种成本，以及股权奖励支出。在此基础上，该公司在今年第三季度勉强实现了800万美元的利润，较去年同期增长6.25亿美元。

However, volatile activity in Uber’s investment portfolio caused it to swing to a generally accepted accounting principles net loss of $2.4bn. Wall Street had been told to expect the ebitda milestone, and on Thursday Uber reiterated its confidence in sustaining that level, predicting adjusted ebitda profits of $25m to $75m in the final quarter of the year.

然而，优步投资组合的波动性导致该公司出现24亿美元的公认会计原则净损失。华尔街已被告知预计ebitda将达到里程碑式的水平。周四，优步重申了对维持这一水平的信心，预测今年最后一个季度经调整后的ebitda利润将达到2500万美元至7500万美元。
