Okta,Return On Investment

Okta co-founder and CEO Todd McKinnon weighed in on the demand environment for software.

"What's different is that companies are being careful with their money. They're rationalizing the technology they purchased over the last four or five years. They're making sure that they're getting real return on investment out of all the solutions," McKinnon told Yahoo Finance at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia and Technology Conference on Tuesday.

Revenue grew 16% from the prior year to $646 million, ahead of estimates for $635 million. Adjusted earnings clocked in at $0.72 a share, beating estimates of $0.61. The company achieved profitability on a GAAP basis for the first time. For the third quarter, Okta sees adjusted earnings per share in a range of $0.57 to $0.58. Analysts had expected $0.59.
