Uber has notched yet another quarter of staggering losses.
That’s according to a new story out from The Information’s Amir Efrati, who reports that the ride-hailing company lost more than $800 million in the third quarter of this year. Those losses, which follow a reported $1.27 billion in the first half of the year, put Uber on track to lose $2.8 billion in 2016, according to The Information’s calculation.
While the millions in losses look bad on the surface for Uber – which was most recently valued at $68 billion – those losses are growing more slowly than they used to.
The Information reports that in Q3, Uber’s losses increased only 25% from a year ago. That’s a slowdown from 35% in the second quarter versus a year ago.
The slower-growing losses are most likely the result of the sale of Uber China to Didi Chuxing for $35 billion in August. Uber was waging an expensive and protracted battle in China, losing $1 billion a year trying to beat its local rival.
