The company said it expects adjusted earnings of 84 cents to 86 cents per share, below analysts’ estimates for 87 cents.

The report is the company’s second since a flawed CrowdStrike update crashed millions of devices operating on Microsoft Corp.’s Windows systems. The outage, which unfolded on July 19, disrupted a wide range of industries, including air travel, banks and health care. The company posted sales three months ago that exceeded expectations, a sign that investors took to mean that the global IT outage may not significantly affect its finances.

The company’s shares were down about 2% in after-market trading on Tuesday at $356.44.
