Key Business Highlights
Expanded Intelligent Agreement Management ("IAM") Platform Capabilities: Docusign announced a significant expansion of its IAM platform during the Momentum25 NYC conference. The NYC event kicked off a series of seven global Momentum events planned across EMEA, APAC, and
AI-Driven Innovation:
- Docusign Iris: Iris is the Artificial Intelligence ("AI") engine powering the Docusign IAM platform and AI-features across the agreement lifecycle. Iris is the culmination of Docusign's unique agreement domain expertise, built from millions of workflows and two decades of contract intelligence.
- AI Contract Agents: the industry's first purpose-built AI contract agents are designed to accelerate workflows, reduce risk, and achieve better outcomes across the entire agreement lifecycle. Docusign's AI contract agents are expected to launch later this year.
- Docusign for Agentforce: Salesforce users can now accelerate sales cycles by integrating IAM into existing Salesforce deployments and initiate Maestro agreement workflows directly from Agentforce.
Create:
- Agreement Desk: centralizes agreement requests and facilitates collaboration, reviews, approvals, negotiations, and finalization for sales, procurement, and legal teams.
- AI-Assisted Review: compares contract language to a customer's existing terms and identifies non-compliant or at-risk language, removing the hassle of combing through every page of hundreds of contracts.
- Agreement Prep: standardizes terms and templates making it easier for customers to keep legally approved language consistent across all agreements.
Commit:
- Workspaces: transforms how customers collaborate with contracting counterparties by centralizing all documents, communications, and tasks in a secure hub while protecting sensitive data.
- CLEAR Identity Verification: integrates CLEAR's biometric identity network with IAM, making verification as simple as snapping a selfie. This integration is expected to launch later this year.
Manage:
- Custom Extractions for Docusign Navigator: uses AI to automatically capture the data that matters the most to customers, such as organization-specific agreement information or client-specific terms, transforming hours of manual review into instant insights.
- Obligation Management Dashboard: transforms a company's scattered commitments into intelligence by surfacing renewal dates, payment terms, and other obligations, helping maximize contract value and avoid penalties.
Contract Lifecycle Management ("CLM") Product Releases and Highlights:
- CLM Connector for Coupa: synchronizes contract and source-to-pay processing between Docusign CLM and Coupa. The Connector is now available in the Coupa App Marketplace.
Increase to Stock Repurchase Program:
- Docusign's board of directors has authorized an increase to its existing stock repurchase program of an additional amount of up to
$1.0 billion $1.4 billion - Repurchases under the program are expected to be executed, subject to general business and market conditions and other investment opportunities, through open market purchases, and other transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws. The timing and the amount of any repurchased common stock will be determined by Docusign's management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The repurchase program does not obligate Docusign to acquire any particular amount of common stock and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at Docusign's discretion without prior notice.

Total revenue [1] | to | ||
Subscription revenue | to | ||
Billings [2] | to | ||
Non-GAAP gross margin | 80.5 % | to | 81.5 % |
Non-GAAP operating margin | 26.5 % | to | 27.5 % |

[1] Impact of foreign currency exchange rates on year-over-year guided revenue growth for both the quarter ending July 31, 2025 and the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026 is expected to be neutral. |
[2] Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on year-over-year guided growth, billings guidance range would be approximately 0.7 points lower for both the quarter ending July 31, 2025 and the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026. |
A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP guidance measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, expenses that may be incurred in the future. Stock-based compensation-related charges, including employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions, are impacted by many factors, including the timing of employee stock transactions, the future fair market value of our common stock, and our future hiring and retention needs, all of which are difficult to predict and subject to constant change. We have provided a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the financial statement tables for our historical non-GAAP financial results included in this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Metrics
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different than similarly-titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors' overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We present these non-GAAP measures to assist investors in seeing our financial performance using a management view, and because we believe that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry. However, these non-GAAP measures are not intended to be considered in isolation from, a substitute for, or superior to our GAAP results.
Non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share: We define these non-GAAP financial measures as the respective GAAP measures, excluding expenses related to stock-based compensation, employer payroll tax on employee stock transactions, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, acquisition-related expenses, restructuring and other related charges, as these costs are not reflective of ongoing operations and, as applicable, other special items. The amount of employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions is dependent on our stock price and other factors that are beyond our control and do not correlate to the operation of the business. When evaluating the performance of our business and making operating plans, we do not consider these items (for example, when considering the impact of equity award grants, we place a greater emphasis on overall stockholder dilution rather than the accounting charges associated with such grants). We believe it is useful to exclude these expenses in order to better understand the long-term performance of our core business and to facilitate comparison of our results to those of peer companies and over multiple periods. In addition to these exclusions, we subtract an assumed provision for income taxes to calculate non-GAAP net income. We utilize a fixed long-term projected tax rate in our computation of the non-GAAP income tax provision to provide better consistency across the reporting periods. For fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026, we have determined the projected non-GAAP tax rate to be
Free cash flow: We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. We believe free cash flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available (if any), after purchases of property and equipment, for operational expenses, investment in our business, and to make acquisitions. Free cash flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate or use cash in excess of our capital investments in property and equipment. Once our business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet and invest in future growth.
Billings: We define billings as total revenues plus the change in our contract liabilities and refund liability less contract assets and unbilled accounts receivable in a given period. Billings reflects sales to new customers plus subscription renewals and additional sales to existing customers. Only amounts invoiced to a customer in a given period are included in billings. We believe billings can be used to measure our periodic performance, when taking into consideration the timing aspects of customer renewals, which represents a large component of our business. Given that most of our customers pay in annual installments one year in advance, but we typically recognize a majority of the related revenue ratably over time, we use billings to measure and monitor our ability to provide our business with the working capital generated by upfront payments from our customers.
For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please see "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.
