The outlook was supported by a strong earnings performance in the second quarter, with revenues jumping by 22 percent to $242 million from $198.9 million registered in the same period last year.

Annual recurring revenues, on the other hand, broke past the $1 billion mark, ending 24 percent higher year-on-year.

However, the said figures failed to prop up earnings, having widened its net loss by 4 percent to $72 million from $69 million year-on-year.
