Variable Interest Entities
Note 10 – Variable Interest Entities
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, 2024 and March 31, 2025 were $3.4 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively. Total liabilities included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for these VIEs as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 were $724 million and $740 million, respectively.
Uber Freight Holding Corporation
As of March 31, 2025, 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 11 – Non-Controlling Interests.
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. We are exposed to these unconsolidated VIEs’ economic risks and rewards through the related carrying amount of assets and liabilities and any financial guarantees, which represent variable interests. Our unconsolidated VIEs consist of investments in privately held companies, primarily vehicle fleet operators.
Our carrying amounts of assets recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and maximum exposure to loss related to unconsolidated VIEs were (in millions):

(1) Total assets includes a term loan to Moove Cars Mobility, S.L., formerly Garment Investments S.L. dba Moove (“Moove”). As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, the term loan to Moove was $288 million and $353 million, respectively, and accounted for as a loan receivable, carried at amortized cost recorded within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In 2021, we entered into and completed a series of agreements with Moove, including (i) an equity investment, through preferred shares, (ii) a term loan to Moove, and (iii) a commercial partnership agreement. After this series of agreements, Moove is considered a related party.
