Shares in online automotive website iCar Asia have gone into reverse after it warned of a rise in first half losses.
The Malaysian-based, Australian-listed tech company expects an underlying earnings loss of $6.5-$7 million for the half year to June 30, up from $5.98 million a year earlier.
Chief executive Damon Rielly says the company has been investing in expanding its business, technology and staff.
"This continued investment, combined with material one-off costs associated with the integration of the One2Car.com business in Thailand are expected to result in an EBITDA loss of between $6.5m and $7m for the first half of 2015," he said in a statement on Wednesday.
Shares in iCar Asia lost four cents, or 4.04 per cent, to close at 95 cents.
Mr Rielly said the group remained on track to produce record results, including a doubling in cash receipts of more than $2.5 million for the first half.
The company, which made a full year loss of $16.7 million in 2014, operates automotive websites in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.
