The company's $800 million in losses did not include its operations in China, Bloomberg said, citing a person it said was familiar with the matter.

The company is on track to surpass $5.5 billion in net revenue in fiscal 2016, Bloomberg said.

Uber did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
