However, Bill.com’s loss more than doubled as the company continued to invest in growth. The loss for the most recently ended quarter was $17.2 million, up from $7.6 million.  Second-quarter revenue was slightly more than $54 million, an increase of 38.3 percent from $39.1 million in last year’s corresponding period.

Bill.com grew R&D spending to 33 percent of revenue for the December quarter, up from 31 percent of revenue a year earlier. It spent $20.4 million for that category in the three months, q 57.7 percent increase from slightly less then $13 million a year earlier.
