"So far, almost everything is below expectations," says Ygal Arounian, an analyst at Wedbush, about the company's report.
While Uber's revenue increased 14 percent to $ 3.2 billion, analysts had expected a slightly larger increase than that. The disappointment was reflected in the US after-trade as the share fell sharply after the announcement and then recovered somewhat to minus six percent.
Most of the loss consists of share-based payments linked to the company's stock exchange listing earlier this year. Research and development costs also rose sharply during the quarter.
Revenue growth is attributed to food service provider Uber Eats, where revenue rose 72 percent.
The quarterly report shows that the value of Uber's services has increased in line with expectations and the number of users has increased, however the company retains less money per run. Passengers spent 20 percent more money on driving, but Uber's revenue from these increased only by four percent.
