Uber lost $2.9 billion in the first quarter as its overseas investments were hammered by the coronavirus pandemic, but the company is looking to its growing food delivery business and aggressive cost-cutting to ease the pain.

Uber brought in $3.54 billion in revenue in the first quarter, up 14% from the same time last year.

Gross bookings grew 8% to $15.8 billion, with 54% growth in the food delivery business and a 3% decline in rides, on a constant currency basis. Demand for the Eats business grew 89% in April, excluding India, and “we’ve seen an enormous acceleration in demand since mid-March,” Khosrowshahi said.“There’s going to be more room for more than one player,” Khosrowshahi said. “We’re in many of these cities already. So we just have the infrastructure to be able to get started in these cities … in a very low cost way.”
