On a continuing operations basis, headline loss per ordinary share was 3 US cents, compared to profit of 138 US cents a year earlier.
Group trading profit declined 49 percent to $1.4 billion, mainly reflecting Tencent's 26 percent lower contribution to the group's trading profit and losses in consolidated ecommerce business.
Group revenue, measured on an economic-interest basis, grew 1 percent to $16.5 billion, driven mainly by a 35 percent increase in Ecommerce revenues.
On a consolidated basis, total revenue increased 18 percent to $3.24 billion from $2.75 billion in the prior period.
Separately, Prosus said it has closed the acquisition of remaining 33.3 percent stake in iFood Holdings B.V. and IF-JE Holdings B.V. from minority shareholder Just Eat Holding Limited for 1.5 billion euros in cash.
