Alteryx said it expects its Q3 revenue to come in between $111 million to $115 million, which is an increase of 7% to 11% on an annual basis. Hence, a full-year revenue could jump 10% to 11% to a $460 million to $465 million range.
The firm said it expects that “significant headwinds will generally continue in the third and fourth quarters of 2020 and there will be uncertainty around new business and renewal timing or billings terms.”
Analysts were expecting revenues of $119.3 million for the quarter and $505.1 million for a full year.
