(Reuters) – Uber Technologies is considering buybacks and dividends to shareholders as its cash flow ramps up, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said at an event on Thursday.

“We are now entering a phase where we are increasingly thinking about returning the capital to shareholders, either through dividends or buybacks, more likely with buybacks,” Khosrowshahi said at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology conference.

Uber in August reported its first-ever operating profit of $326 million for the second quarter ended June. It had more than $1 billion in free cash flow in the period.
