The quarter in brief
A structurally healthy quarter — Delivery segment profit surged 38% and Mobility margins expanded on lower UK driver payouts, but reported net income of $2,394M (+77%) is heavily inflated by a $1.6B non-cash gain on equity securities (Delivery Hero, Aurora) that masks more modest operating income growth (+30.3% to $1,890M).

- Net income of $2,394M includes a $1.6B pre-tax non-cash unrealized gain on equity securities (Delivery Hero +$1.1B, Aurora +$899M, offset by Didi -$437M), making GAAP net income far outpace operating performance.
- UK Mobility business model change (drivers paid from revenue, not cost of revenue) cut reported revenue by $1.1B y/y, understating true Gross Bookings growth of 24%.
- Delivery segment was the standout: revenue +28% and Segment Operating Income +38%, driven by Trip volume growth and $182M higher advertising revenue.
- Freight remains a drag with a $24M segment operating loss, though improved slightly y/y as Carrier payments rose in line with revenue.
- G&A expenses jumped 40% y/y on $138M higher legal-related accruals and reserve charges, a one-off distortion versus underlying opex trends.
- Effective tax rate spiked to 27% (from 9% in Q2 2025), driven by deferred U.S. tax impact tied to equity securities gains, not core earnings.
