Blue Apron Holdings Inc. shares APRN, -11.68% slid 4.9% in premarket trade Monday, after the meal kit maker posted a wider-than-expected loss for the first quarter and revenue that fell short of consensus. The company had a loss of $38.4 million, or $1.19 a share, for the quarter, after a loss of $15.7 million, or 88 cents a share, in the year-earlier period. Revenue fell to $117.8 million from $129.7 million a year ago.

The company said marketing costs rose 40% to $28 million as it worked to improve brand awareness and reach.
