Positive Outlook

  • Subscription revenue is expected to be $280.0M - $282.0M for the full year.

  • Non-GAAP loss from operations is expected to be between ($3.5M) and ($2.5M) for Q3.

Challenges Ahead

  • Guidance is subject to various important cautionary factors, including risks and uncertainties associated with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Non-GAAP loss from operations is expected to be between ($13.0M) and ($11.0M) for the full year.
