TROY, Mich., Aug. 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Altair (Nasdaq: ALTR), a global leader in computational science and artificial intelligence (AI) that provides software and cloud solutions in simulation, high-performance computing (HPC), data analytics and AI, today released its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.
“Altair had a strong second quarter, driven by high double-digit software revenue growth, with all our key metrics coming in above our guidance ranges,” said James Scapa, founder, chairman and chief executive officer of Altair. “While we are in a period of geopolitical and economic uncertainty, I am confident Altair's culture, customer relationships, high recurring revenue and utilization, high-value business model, and exceptional technology leaves us well-positioned for the remainder of the year.”
“The second quarter was another big success, achieving revenue and profit ahead of expectations,” said Matt Brown, chief financial officer of Altair. “Led by our year-over-year software product revenue growth of over 17% in the second quarter, we continued to deliver on our commitment to software product revenue growth and margin expansion. While we are encouraged by our strong first half of 2022, we are reducing our full year guidance ranges for revenue and profit due to the impact foreign exchange rates are having on our results in reported currency.”
