The company, which posted its first full-year profit on net basis, is expanding initiatives like memberships, corporate travel and advertising.

"Uber's platform advantages and disciplined investment in new growth opportunities resulted in record engagement and accelerating Gross Bookings in Q4," Chief Financial Officer Prashanth Mahendra-Rajah said.
