Uber has disclosed earnings for the second time since becoming a public company, reporting revenues of $3.16 billion on losses of $5.2 billion for the second quarter of 2019.

Uber (NYSE: UBER) closed up more than 9% Thursday at $42.98 per share, just below its $45 IPO price, but took a nose dive of more than 11% on the news.

$5.2 billion in net losses represents the company’s largest-ever quarterly loss.

Revenue, for its part, is up only 14% year-over-year, igniting concerns over slower-than-ever growth.

The company says a majority of 2Q losses are a result of stock-based compensation expenses for employees following its May IPO.

Stock compensation aside, Uber still lost $1.3 billion, up 30% from Q1.
