SINGAPORE-BASED tech giant Sea posted a US$445.1 million net loss (excluding share-based compensation) for Q1 ended March, wider than the US$320 million loss a year ago, as both its gaming and e-commerce businesses come under pressure.
The New York-listed company, which owns game developer Garena and online shopping platform Shopee, saw Q1 revenue surge 64.4 per cent year-on-year to US$2.9 billion.
