What it stands on, and what could break it

What the business leans on

1The services depend on enough drivers, couriers, merchants, shippers and carriers participating in each local market for customers to find rides, orders and shipment capacity.
2Uber’s operating model depends on drivers and couriers being treated as independent providers in many places; worker-classification laws and decisions can change its costs and how the services operate.
3The business depends on mobile apps, internet and payment services, and third-party technology providers, including providers that host parts of its platform.
4Local transportation, employment, food and alcohol, privacy, payment and competition rules affect where and how Uber can operate.

What could go wrong

1If drivers are legally treated as employees or another worker category rather than independent contractors, Uber may face higher pay, benefits, tax and other costs; the latest quarterly report also describes ongoing legal and government challenges to driver classification.
2Ride, delivery and freight services compete with established companies and alternatives such as personal vehicles, taxis, public transport and merchants’ own delivery. Uber says it may use lower prices, driver incentives and customer discounts to compete, and may have difficulty attracting or retaining enough participants in its marketplaces.
3Rules for transportation, worker status, payments, privacy and competition differ across jurisdictions and can change. Restrictions, required licenses, investigations or changes to how Uber may price or operate could disrupt services or add costs.
