The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

The company explained that, because revenue is weighted toward the second half as ARR builds under its subscription-based business model, first-half revenue progress of 45% was within expectations. It cited the recovery in monthly ARR growth to more than 10% in July, increased net new ARR from existing customers, and higher spot revenue as factors supporting the second half.
