Rackspace Technology posted revenue of $657 million (+9 percent) and quarterly bookings of $288 million (+107 percent) and net loss of $33 million in second quarter ended June 30, 2020.
Rackspace Technology works with leading technology partners such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google, Microsoft, VMware and others to offer cloud platform to its enterprise customers.
Rackspace admitted that its Q2 revenue was positively impacted by the acquisition of Onica Holdings in November 2019 as well as new customer acquisitions and growing customer spend in Multicloud Services and Apps & Cross Platform segments.
Rackspace Technology CEO Kevin Jones said: “This quarter’s 107 percent growth in sales bookings validates our conviction in the massive opportunity presented by the tectonic shift to multicloud.”
Revenue from Core Segments, comprised of Multicloud Services and Apps & Cross Platform, increased 13 percent in the second quarter of 2020.
Capital expenditures were $51 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared to $41 million in the second quarter of 2019.
