Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return [Text Block]

CAP versus TSR

As described in the CD&A, in order to align our executive’s compensation with the interests of our stockholders, the vast majority of our executives’ compensation comes in the form of long-term incentives. The graph below compares CAP, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, to Uber’s cumulative TSR over the past three years. 2020 compensation actually paid for our PEO includes the final tranche of his sign-on award. For 2021 and later, PEO compensation levels have returned to normalized levels. As reflected in the chart below, compensation for our executives is heavily linked to Uber’s TSR. From 2020 to 2022, CAP for both our PEO and other NEOs decreased, aligned with Uber’s TSR during that period. From 2022 to 2023, CAP for both our PEO and other NEOs increased, aligned with Uber’s meaningful increase in TSR.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income [Text Block]

CAP versus Financial Measures (Gross Bookings and Net Income)

The graph below compares CAP, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, to Uber’s reported Gross Bookings in each respective year. As reflected in the CD&A, Uber has identified Gross Bookings as one of the most important financial measures used in determining compensation. As illustrated below, over the past three years, Uber’s Gross Bookings have increased significantly, while CAP has decreased due to the vast majority of compensation being tied to Uber’s stock price performance.

Additionally, as presented in the Pay-versus-Performance table above, Net Income increased from 2020 to 2021; however, it decreased from 2021 to 2022, ending the year with a $9.1 billion GAAP net loss largely as a result of a $7 billion net headwind (pre-tax) from revaluations of our equity investments. From 2022 to 2023 Net Income increased, ending the year with a $1.9 billion GAAP net gain including a $1.6 billion net benefit (pre-tax) from revaluations of our equity investments.

TSR: Company versus Peer Group

As shown in the chart below, the Company’s cumulative TSR is below the companies included in the S&P 500 IT. During 2020, our stock price outperformed the S&P 500 IT; however, the S&P 500 IT maintained its upward trend until the end of 2021, while our stock price declined. In 2022, although we delivered steady and strong financial performance, exceeding analyst expectations, our stock price declined at a similar rate of decline for the S&P 500 IT, amidst a broad sell-off in technology stocks. In 2023, we delivered sustainable growth and achieved our first ever full-year positive GAAP operating income year, with our stock price increasing at a rate higher than the S&P 500 IT during 2023.

Tabular List [Table Text Block]

As described in greater detail in “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” Uber’s executive compensation program reflects a pay-for performance philosophy. The metrics that Uber uses for both our long- and short-term incentive awards are selected based on an objective of incentivizing our NEOs to increase stockholder value. Below are the most important measures used to link compensation actually paid to our NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year:
