Uber has reported a $708 million first quarter loss as the company struggles with high-level resignations and legal woes.

As bad as it seems the result is actually an improvement on the $991 million loss the ride-sharing company posted last quarter.

Revenue was up 18 percent to $3.4 billion with Uber telling CNBC it can see a road to profitability.

"The narrowing of our losses in the first quarter puts us on a good trajectory towards profitability," the company said.
