Second-quarter revenue came in at $3.17 billion, up from $2.77 billion in the second quarter of 2018, as the number of monthly active platform consumers reached 99 million during the quarter, up 30% from 76 million a year prior. The revenue figure missed the mean consensus estimate of $3.39 billion, according to Market Intelligence.

Gross bookings for the quarter hit $15.76 billion, up 31% from $12.01 billion a year ago.
