Notably, the subscription & support segment contributes around 90% of the top line. It benefited from a 13% rise in sales cloud, marketing & commerce cloud, and service cloud, a 15% jump in platform & other, and an 18% rise in data sub-segments. Despite positive growth in revenues, the company reported a net loss of $98 million, up from $28 million in the year-ago period.
