Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On January 21, 2020, Uber Technologies, Inc. (“Uber”) completed the divestiture of its food delivery business in India (“Uber Eats India”) pursuant to an asset transfer agreement between Uber, Uber’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Uber India Systems Private Limited (“Seller”), and Zomato Media Private Limited (“Zomato”). Zomato acquired all of Seller’s right, title and interest in Uber Eats India in exchange for (i) compulsorily convertible cumulative preference shares of Zomato convertible into ordinary shares representing, when converted, 9.99% of the total voting capital of Zomato and (ii) approximately $35 million in cash for reimbursement by Zomato of goods and services tax.

 

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

Selected unaudited quarterly condensed statements of operations data, key metrics and non-GAAP financial measures for Uber Eats India for each of the three quarters ended March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019 are furnished as Exhibit 99.1 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

"Today, we announced the sale of our Uber Eats business in India to Zomato. It is another proof point - following our decision to exit Uber Eats South Korea in October 2019 - of our commitment to take a hard look at Eats markets where we do not have a path to leadership," said Nelson Chai, CFO. "At least some of the investment that we would have otherwise made in India will now be redeployed to other countries we serve where we believe we have a clear path to #1 or #2. We expect Uber Eats India's adjusted EBITDA performance in Q4 2019 to be comparable to Q3 2019's. We look forward to providing further financial details on our Q4 2019 earnings call."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

We collect and analyze operating and financial data to evaluate the health of our business and assess our performance. In addition to revenue, loss from operations, and other results under GAAP, we disclose Uber Eats India Adjusted Net Revenue and Uber Eats India Adjusted EBITDA to provide information about the impact of the divested operations on our consolidated Adjusted Net Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA that we use to evaluate our business and its operating performance. Accordingly, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and board of directors. Our calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures, if any, reported by our peer companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

Adjusted Net Revenue

 

We define Uber Eats India Adjusted Net Revenue as revenue from Uber Eats India less (i) excess Driver incentives and (ii) Driver referrals, in each ease, from Uber Eats India. We disclose Uber Eats India Adjusted Net Revenue to provide information about the impact of the divested operations on our consolidated Adjusted Net Revenue as we believe that this latter measure is informative of our top line performance because it measures the total net financial activity reflected in the amount earned by us after taking into account all Driver and restaurant earnings, Driver incentives, and Driver referrals. We include the impact of these amounts in Adjusted Net Revenue as it is useful to evaluate how increasing or decreasing incentives would impact our top line performance. For additional information about Driver incentives and Driver referrals, please refer to our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Uber Eats India Adjusted Net Revenue has limitations as a financial measure, should be considered as supplemental in nature, and is not meant as a substitute for revenue from Uber Eats India prepared in accordance with GAAP. 

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

We define Uber Eats India Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from Uber Eats India operations excluding (i) depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense. We have included Uber Eats India Adjusted EBITDA in this Form 8-K because it provides information about the impact of the divested operations on our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA that is a key measure used by our management team to evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans, and make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses. Accordingly, we believe that Uber Eats India Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management team and board of directors. In addition, it provides a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business, as it removes the effect of certain non-cash expenses.

 

Uber Eats India Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a financial measure, including because it excludes (i) certain recurring, non-cash charges, such as depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of intangible assets, and although these are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future; and (ii) stock-based compensation expense, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in our business and an important part of our compensation strategy.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Overview

On January 21, 2020, Uber Technologies, Inc. (“Uber”) completed the divestiture of Uber’s food delivery operations in India (“Uber Eats India”) pursuant to a definitive agreement with Zomato Media Private Limited (“Zomato”) in exchange for compulsorily convertible cumulative preference shares of Zomato convertible into ordinary shares representing, when converted, 9.99% of the voting capital of Zomato.

Basis of Presentation

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements were derived from our historical consolidated financial statements and are being presented to give effect to the following:

(i) the divestiture of the Uber Eats India (“the Divestiture”) operations’ financial results to reflect our continuing operations; and
(ii) the components of the consideration received in the Divestiture and the resulting gain from the Divestiture.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based on currently available information and assumptions that management believes are reasonable. The pro forma adjustments reflect the impact of events directly attributable to the Divestiture, that are factually supportable, and for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on Uber.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the nine months ended September 30, 2019 reflect our results of operations as if the Divestiture had occurred on January 1, 2018. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 gives effect to the Divestiture as if it had occurred on that date.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are intended for illustrative purposes only, and do not necessarily indicate our results of operations that would have been achieved if the Divestiture had occurred on January 1, 2018, nor is it indicative of our future results of operations or balance sheet had the Divestiture been completed on the dates assumed.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with:

Our audited consolidated financial statements, the accompanying notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, included in our final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on May 13, 2019; and
