What management had to say
Management was pleased with the results, and on the earnings conference call, CEO Dean Stoecker pointed to the fact that the company continues to increase its number of customers, and that many of them are spending more money on the Alteryx platform.
"We achieved net expansion of 133%, illustrating our customers continue to invest more in the Alteryx platform over time. We saw a doubling of seven-figure deals and an over 50% increase year-over-year in deals larger than $250,000, both consistent with our expectations as we focus on the Global 2000."
Management is also confident that there's a lot more room to grow within the data analytics market. Said Stoecker: "For example, based on our analysis, we believe there are approximately 8 million to 9 million potential Alteryx Designer users within the Global 2000, and we currently have less than 1% penetration within that population."
Looking ahead
Alteryx's management is expecting third-quarter GAAP revenue in the range of $88 million to $91 million, which would be a 43% year-over-year increase at the midpoint. Meanwhile, Alteryx's forecast range for non-GAAP operating income is $5 million to $8 million for the third quarter, and management expects non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.06 to $0.09.
Additionally, the company raised its full-year 2019 revenue guidance to a range of $370 million to $375 million, which is up from the previous forecast range of $355 million to $360 million.
