Nelson Chai, CFO said:

“Our Mobility segment generated $50 million in Adjusted EBITDA profit, despite a 73 percent year-over-year decline in Gross Bookings, on a constant currency basis. Meanwhile, we improved our Delivery Adjusted EBITDA margin by 33 percentage points, and took quick and decisive action to remove over $1 billion in annualized costs across the entire company, reducing Corporate G&A and Platform R&D costs by over $150 million compared to last quarter. All this, in addition to our strong balance sheet, bolsters our continued confidence that we will achieve Adjusted EBITDA profitability before the end of 2021.”
