The company has been benefiting from a strong portfolio with a robust adoption rate for its Chef, OpenEdge, DataDirect and Sitefinity solutions. In the fiscal first quarter, the net dollar retention rate was more than 102%.
Strong contributions from acquisitions like MarkLogic and Kemp are expected to have driven top-line growth.
However, the fiscal first quarter bottom line is expected to reflect headwinds related to higher interest rates and a challenging macroeconomic environment.
