Uber has warned it may scale back parts of the business as it tries to navigate through the coronavirus crisis.
"There are no sacred cows," said the taxi-hailing app's chief financial officer Nelson Chai.
It follows Uber's announcement on Wednesday that it would cut about 14% of its staff.
That move and others the firm has made will save more than $1bn this year, but more measures may be necessary, Mr Chai said on Thursday.
