SFX Entertainment ([SFXE](http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/sfxe?ref=hypebot.com)) today reported financial results for the 3 and 6 months ending June 30th.

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2015 grew 48.3% year over year to $121.1 million, while revenue for the first six months of 2015 increased 50.7% year over year to $173.2 million. But despite the rise in revenue losses widened to $48 million for the last 3 months and $(89.6 million for the last 6.

Platform revenue, which represents SFX's 365-day a year engagement with fans outside of live events and includes sales of digital music via Beatport, marketing services and other digital activities, totaled $14.4 million (11.9% of total revenue) for the three month and $26.4 million (15.2% of total revenue) for six months.
