QuoteIn the last reported quarter, the company reported non-GAAP earnings per share of 10 cents, against a loss of 1 cent per share in the year-ago quarter. Further, revenues increased 1.4% year on year to $138.5 million.Let’s see how things have shaped up for this announcement.Factors at PlaySecureWorks’ quarterly results are expected to reflect benefits from the continued solid demand for its products, given the healthy environment of the global security market.Also, a huge global workforce is working remotely, in an effort to contain the spread of coronavirus. However, an increasing number of people logging into employers' networks has been triggering a greater need for security. This might have had spurred demand for SecureWorks’ products in the fiscal third quarter.Moreover, strong adoption of the company’s cloud-native platform and higher demand for its deep security expertise are likely to have driven customer acquisition in the quarter under review.Further, growing traction of SecureWorks’ Red Cloak Threat Detection and Response (TDR) globally is expected to have expanded the company’s international footprint. Notably, in the last reported quarter, the company hosted more than 200 customers on its Red Cloak TDR platform.Earlier, in September, the company acquired Delve Laboratories, which delivers cloud-based SaaS solutions powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. The acquisition is anticipated to have extended the company’s product portfolio and boosted its presence in Canada.Additionally, the company partnered with Arrow Electronics ARW under its Global Partner Program, to accelerate the deployment of its security solutions across North America. This is expected to have driven the expansion of SecureWorks’ solid partner base, which includes VMware’s Carbon Black and Qualys.Moreover, a revenue shift from custom consulting and staffing type Managed Security Services (MSS) work to software-driven TDR solutions along with a reduction in travel expenses is expected to have driven gross margin expansion in the to-be-reported quarter.What Our Model SaysOur proven model does not predict an earnings beat for SecureWorks this season.
