For the full year 2019, the company lifted its total revenues outlook to the range of $1.102 billion to $1.111 billion from the prior range of $1.06 billion to $1.07 billion. Adjusted earnings guidance is raised to the range of $0.11 to $0.13 per share from the prior range of $0.08 to $0.11 per share.

During the first quarter, the company launched Twilio for Salesforce on the Salesforce AppExchange to allow organizations using Salesforce to easily send and receive SMS messages directly from their Salesforce CRM. The company announced support for Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) for email, new technology being implemented by Alphabet’s (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Google that enables a more dynamic and interactive experience for Gmail.

The company has been facing stiff competition from Bandwidth.com, Nexmo, Plivo, and Sinch. It has been trying new and innovative products and services that are offered along with affordable pricing for having an edge over its rivals. The company is likely to face revenue dependency from the top 10 customers as a headwind as the contribution to the top line has been slowly shrinking.

Twilio has depended on Uber, Whatsapp, Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX), Nordstrom (NYSE: JWN) and eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY) as its customers. The company’s voice and messaging services have been the core offering that has seen solid growth due to increased adoption from clients. It’s crucial for the cloud platform to diversify its revenues from the current cohort of customers.

Shares of Twilio ended Tuesday’s regular session up 0.88% at $137.14 on the NYSE. Following the earnings release, the stock inched down over 3% in the after-market session.
