Progress previously reported results based on three segments.
Anthony Folger, CFO, said: “We’re very pleased with the performance of our core business and our continued success integrating Chef. Our second quarter results reflect strength across all product lines and we're very pleased with the growth in ARR and the improvement in our net retention rates, both of which were introduced as key metrics last quarter. At the same time, we are achieving acquisition synergies sooner than anticipated, which contributed to our strong profitability and cash flows. These results reinforce our optimism and increase our confidence, providing us with comfort to raise our FY21 guidance again this quarter.”
