Chief Financial Officer Jeff Cooper said the raised outlook comes as the company delivers better-than-expected results in the second quarter.

Revenue grew 24% to $359.1 million, beating the $342.8 million that Wall Street had forecast, according to FactSet.
Top-line gains were driven by a 33% boost in subscription and support revenue to $237.2 million, offset by a 7% decline in license revenue to $59.5 million. Services revenue also climbed 30% to $62.4 million.
For the current third quarter, the company guided for revenue of between $352 million and $358 million, topping the $339.6 million that Wall Street is modeling, according to FactSet.
