For the third quarter, the company expects total revenues of $106-108 million and an adjusted loss per share of $0.36-0.34. For the full year, the company lifted its revenue outlook to the range of $415-417 million from the previous range of $406-412 million.

During the quarter, the company closed the purchase of Endgame, a leader in endpoint security and threat prevention, detection, and response. This remained an exciting step toward realizing Elastic’s vision by offering users with a powerful threat hunting solution with superior endpoint protection.

This enables organizations to automatically and flexibly respond to threats in real-time, whether in the cloud, on-premises or in hybrid environments.
