| Variable Interest Entities | Note 13 – Variable Interest Entities Variable interest entities (“VIEs”) are legal entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their activities without future subordinated financial support. Consolidated VIEs We consolidate VIEs in which we hold a variable interest and are the primary beneficiary. We are the primary beneficiary because we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these VIEs. As a result, we consolidate the assets and liabilities of these VIEs. Total assets included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for our consolidated VIEs as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024 were $3.5 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively. Total liabilities included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for these VIEs as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024 were $755 million and $789 million, respectively. Uber Freight Holding Corporation As of June 30, 2024, we own the majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Uber Freight Holding Corporation (“Freight Holding”) and report a non-controlling interest as further described in Note 14 – Non-Controlling Interests. In February 2023, Freight Holding entered into a $300 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility guaranteed by the assets of Freight Holding and is considered non-recourse to us. As of June 30, 2024, there was no balance outstanding on Freight Holding’s revolving credit facility. Unconsolidated VIEs We do not consolidate VIEs in which we hold a variable interest but are not the primary beneficiary because we lack the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance. Our carrying amounts of both assets and liabilities recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets related to unconsolidated VIEs were $575 million and $541 million as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024 our maximum exposure to loss was $686 million and $653 million, respectively. Our maximum exposure to loss includes the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized on our condensed consolidated balance sheets related to the unconsolidated VIEs as well as an immaterial financial guarantee. Lime Neutron Holdings, Inc. (“Lime”) is incorporated in Delaware for the purpose of owning and operating a fleet of dockless e-bikes and e-scooters for short-term access use by consumers for personal transportation. In 2020, we entered into a series of transactions and agreements with Lime to divest our JUMP business and acquired ownership in Lime comprised of Lime Common Stock, Lime 1-C Preferred Stock, Lime 1-C Preferred Stock Warrants, and the Lime Convertible Note (collectively, the “2020 Lime Investments”). We are exposed to Lime’s economic risks and rewards through the related carrying amount of assets and liabilities and any financial guarantees, which represent variable interests. Moove On February 12, 2021 (the “Moove Closing Date”), we entered into and completed a series of agreements with Garment Investments S.L. dba Moove (“Moove”), a vehicle fleet operator in Spain. The series of agreements included (i) an equity investment, through preferred shares, in which Uber acquired a 30% minority interest in Moove from its current shareholders at closing and up to approximately $185 million contingent on future performance of Moove and certain other conditions through the h anniversary of the agreement, (ii) a term loan of $213 million to Moove, due February 2026, and (iii) a commercial partnership agreement. Also included in the agreements is an option for us to purchase common stock of Moove at fair value, beginning two years after the Moove Closing Date. As of June 30, 2024, we have not exercised this option. After this series of agreements, Moove is considered a related party. In February 2023, we entered into a settlement and amendment agreement (“Moove Settlement”) with Moove, a related party, to settle certain contingent considerations agreements. As a result of the Moove Settlement, we made an immaterial payment to Moove. The remaining contingent liability was recorded within accrued and other current liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and was not material. The contingent liability was paid in January 2024. Our equity investment in Moove, through preferred shares, is accounted for as an investment in non-marketable equity securities included in investments on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The term loan, of $275 million as of June 30, 2024, is accounted for as a loan receivable, carried at amortized cost, and included in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 3 – Investments and Fair Value Measurement, Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis, for additional information regarding our non-marketable equity securities. Moove is a VIE as it lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities without future subordinated financial support. We are exposed to Moove’s economic risks and rewards through the related carrying amount of assets and liabilities and any financial guarantees, which represent variable interests.
