Uh, that seems like something they'd get called out on pretty quickly if they tried, and would make them look worse off with the actual number than if they just opened with it
Uber's gotten away with a lot of stuff but I doubt even they could pull a 'whoops, forgot our expenses' sleight of hand. Especially since they try and frame drivers as 'contractors' and not employees
Revenue, not profit. They wouldn't be saying that they forgot about expenses, just that their expenses come out of $20B in revenue, not $7B in revenue.
