Insights

Docusign combined steady revenue growth with stronger profitability and cash generation.

Docusign delivered $830.2M in Q1 revenue, up 9% year over year, while GAAP operating margin improved to 13.4% and non-GAAP operating margin reached 32.0%. This shows better cost discipline without sacrificing top-line expansion.

Non-GAAP diluted EPS increased to $1.09 from $0.90, and free cash flow rose to $289.4M. The company also returned $317.5M via share repurchases while maintaining $1.0B in cash and investments, indicating meaningful capacity for both investment and capital returns.

Guidance calls for revenue of $865M–$869M for the quarter ending July 31, 2026 and $3.49B–$3.50B for the year ending January 31, 2027, with non-GAAP operating margins around 30%. Actual performance versus these targets will be visible in upcoming quarterly results.

AI-native Intelligent Agreement Management is becoming a larger part of Docusign’s business.

The company reported that Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) represented 12.6% of total Annual Recurring Revenue as of April 30, 2026, up from 10.8% as of January 31, 2026. This suggests early traction for its newer AI-powered offerings.

Docusign highlighted new IAM capabilities built on its Iris AI engine, deeper integrations with platforms like Salesforce, SAP, and Microsoft Copilot, and vertical workflows for HR and Sales. These initiatives aim to embed agreement workflows into existing systems rather than standalone tools.

The appointment of Graham Sheldon as incoming Chief Product Officer, with prior roles at UiPath and Microsoft, adds experienced leadership to guide the IAM roadmap. Future disclosures in earnings materials and ARR mix will show how quickly IAM continues to grow within overall subscription economics.

Intelligent Agreement Management financial
"In Q1, we saw continued growing demand for Docusign’s AI-native IAM platform"
Intelligent agreement management is the use of technology to create, track, and oversee contracts automatically and efficiently. It helps ensure that all parties follow the terms, deadlines, and conditions without manual effort, reducing errors and delays. For investors, it offers greater transparency and control over contractual commitments, making business dealings more reliable and streamlined.
Annual Recurring Revenue financial
"IAM represented 12.6% of our total Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) as of April 30, 2026"
Annual recurring revenue is the predictable amount of money a company expects to earn each year from ongoing customer subscriptions or contracts. It helps businesses understand how much steady income they can count on, much like a subscription service that charges customers every month or year. This figure is important because it shows the company's stability and growth potential.
free cash flow financial
"Free cash flow was $289.4 million compared to $227.8 million in the same period last year"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
non-GAAP gross margin financial
"Non-GAAP gross margin was 81.5% compared to 82.3% in the same period last year"
Non-GAAP gross margin is a measure of a company's profitability that shows how much money it makes from sales after subtracting the direct costs of producing its products or services, but without applying certain accounting adjustments required by standard rules. It helps investors understand the company's core earning ability by excluding items like one-time expenses or accounting changes. This metric provides a clearer picture of ongoing business performance beyond official financial reports.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) technical
"Through our open platform and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, Docusign connects with leading frontier models"
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a system that helps financial models understand and share information about market conditions and data. It’s like a common language that ensures different tools and models work together smoothly, making predictions and decisions more accurate and consistent.

Key Business Highlights

AI-Powered Intelligent Agreement Management (“IAM”) announcements: In May at our annual Momentum conference, Docusign announced new IAM capabilities powered by Iris, our agreement AI engine:
Iris assistant and agents: Iris is Docusign’s AI engine for agreements, which helps teams work smarter, faster, and trigger actions using natural language. Customers can now:
Move faster through reviews: Agents can check agreements against company standards, suggest edits, and automatically request the right approvals in minutes.
Keep work moving automatically: Agents can monitor contracts in the background and flag risks, track obligations, and trigger next steps without manual follow-up.
Build agents for specific workflows: With Docusign Agent Studio, teams can create and deploy custom agents tailored to how they manage deals, renewals, approvals, and more.
Docusign IAM platform ecosystem: Docusign connects agreement work across the systems and teams that run the business. Instead of contracts living in silos, Docusign brings them into the tools people already use:

AI where teams work: Through our open platform and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, Docusign connects with leading frontier models like Anthropic Claude, Gemini, and OpenAI ChatGPT – so teams can create, review, and manage agreements using natural language within the tools they already use.

DOCUSIGN, INC.
Deep integrations across business systems: Docusign integrates with core applications like Coupa, Microsoft Copilot, Salesforce, SAP, and Slack – so agreement workflows happen seamlessly across systems teams use every day, from triggering actions to surfacing completed agreements and the insights they contain.
A connected legal AI ecosystem: Docusign is also partnering with leading legal AI platforms, including Harvey, Legora, and CoCounsel by Thomson Reuters. These integrations will bring legal research, document analysis, and contract review directly into agreement workflows across sales, procurement, HR, and finance.

Docusign IAM platform end-to-end workflows:

IAM for HR: Employee agreements span the entire lifecycle, from hiring to role changes, but the work behind them is often fragmented and manual. IAM for HR spans the often manual HR lifecycle from hiring to role changes. Mobile I-9 verification simplifies compliance, while integrations with HCM platforms help HR teams move faster and improve the employee experience from day one onward.
IAM for Sales: IAM for Sales brings the full agreement lifecycle directly into CRMs like HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and Salesforce. New CRM-embedded experiences for Agreement Desk, Agreement Prep, and Agreement Manager keep workflows, collaboration, and signed agreements connected in one place.
Instant Form Creation for Customer Experience: AI-powered Web Forms transform static documents into interactive, shareable forms in seconds, so people can complete them quickly without manual re-entry.

Executive Appointment: Docusign announced Graham Sheldon as its incoming Chief Product Officer. Most recently, Sheldon served as Chief Product Officer at UiPath Inc., a leading enterprise-grade agentic automation platform. Before that, Sheldon spent more than 20 years at Microsoft Corp., including as Corporate Vice President of Product for Microsoft Teams.

[1] Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on year-over-year guided revenue growth, revenue guidance range would be approximately 1.4% points lower for the quarter ending July 31, 2026 and 1.3% points lower for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2027.


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.

DOCUSIGN, INC.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Metrics

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. 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, 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 the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, we have determined the projected non-GAAP tax rate to be 21% and 20%, respectively.

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.

Annual Recurring Revenue: We calculate ARR as the annualized value of active customer contracts as of the measurement date. This calculation assumes that any contract expiring within the next 12 months renews on its existing terms, and excludes non-recurring revenue streams recognized at a point in time. When evaluating ARR on a product basis for contracts spanning multiple product lines, we allocate the support contract value to each product offering based on its proportional share of the total contract value. To annualize contracts, we divide the total committed contract value by the number of months in the subscription term and multiply by twelve. For international contracts denominated in foreign currencies, ARR is translated into U.S. dollars using a fixed exchange rate set at the beginning of each fiscal year. We adjust previously reported ARR annually to reflect these exchange rate changes for comparative purposes. We believe ARR measures our business performance and serves as a leading indicator of future revenue growth. We report total ARR annually at the end of the fiscal year. Because quarterly net new ARR represents only a fraction of our overall book of business, it is subject to timing volatility and can be highly volatile on a year-over-year basis. Because the objective of ARR is to evaluate the long-term growth of our business, these quarterly timing fluctuations can detract from the insight and usefulness of ARR. ARR is an operating metric and should be viewed independently of revenue, deferred revenue, and remaining performance obligations; it does not represent revenue under U.S. GAAP on an annual basis.

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.
