Irvine-based business software maker Epicor Software Corp. upped its outlook Monday for third-quarter results due Wednesday.
Epicor said it expects to see sales of $95 million to $96 million for the quarter, up from a $93 million forecast in July.
The company also said it expects profits to come in higher than expected without offering a range.
In July, Epicor said it expects to earn about $9.7 million for the quarter.
“We continue to see strength across all areas of our business and our preliminary financial data for the third quarter points to strong year-over-year increases in each revenue line,” Chief Executive George Klaus said.
The company said it was helped in the quarter by the acquisition of Newburgh, N.Y.-based CRS Retail Systems Inc., which it bought for $121 million in December.
Epicor makes accounting and other software that integrates data from production, distribution, accounting, sales, marketing and customer support.
The CRS buy moved the company into software for retailers.
