Positive

  • Stronger profitability and cash generation: Fiscal 2026 non-GAAP operating margin reached about 30% and free cash flow rose to $1.06 billion, indicating a materially improved earnings and cash profile versus the prior year.
  • Rapid growth in IAM and large buyback expansion: Intelligent Agreement Management grew to 10.8% of ARR from 2.3%, and the board added $2.0 billion to the repurchase program, leaving up to $2.6 billion authorized.

Insights

Docusign posted steady high-single-digit growth, expanding margins, cash flow, and buybacks.

Docusign delivered 8% revenue growth in Q4 and fiscal 2026, with billings up 10%, signaling healthy demand. Non-GAAP operating margin reached about 30% for the year, and free cash flow rose to $1.06B, showing strong cash generation.

Annual Recurring Revenue grew 8% to $3,272M, while Intelligent Agreement Management expanded from 2.3% to 10.8% of ARR, reflecting rapid adoption of newer AI-driven offerings. GAAP results normalized from a prior-year tax benefit but remained clearly profitable.

The board’s additional $2.0B repurchase authorization, leaving up to $2.6B available, underscores ongoing return-of-capital capacity. Management’s fiscal 2027 outlook for roughly 8% revenue growth and 30–30.5% non-GAAP operating margins suggests an intention to balance moderate growth with sustained profitability.

DOCUSIGN, INC.
A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Metrics.”


Key Business Highlights:

Expanded IAM Platform and eSignature Capabilities: Docusign continued to evolve IAM into an end-to-end platform for customers’ agreement workflows. In Q4, Docusign delivered on its roadmap to integrate AI-native experiences across the entire agreement lifecycle. Key updates include:
Agreement Desk: Now generally available, Agreement Desk is a central hub for teams to request, track, review, and manage agreements from intake to signature. It creates visibility across stakeholders, and allows teams across legal, sales, and procurement to collaborate in real time.
AI-Assisted Review: AI-Assisted Review leverages pre-approved company playbooks and provides instant redline suggestions and clause generation to ensure that all team members within an organization can negotiate agreements in compliance with company standards.
AI-Powered eSignature: In January, Docusign launched a re-imagined eSignature experience powered by AI. The launch provides customers with:
AI-Assisted Agreement Summaries: To drive efficiencies in daily workflows, Docusign launched AI-Assisted Agreement Summaries in eSignature. This feature allows signers to quickly grasp the core components of complex contracts without manual review.
Automated Agreement Preparation: AI-driven tools that streamline the setup and tagging of documents.
3rd-Party Data Verification: Seamless integration of external data sources to verify signer information and agreement accuracy.

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 $2.0 billion of Docusign’s outstanding common stock. The program has no minimum purchase commitment and no mandated end date. As of March 17, 2026, our total remaining authorization under our stock repurchase program is up to $2.6 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.
Board of Directors and Governance Updates
Board Leadership Transition: As previously announced, James Beer assumed the role of Board Chair on February 1, 2026, succeeding Maggie Wilderotter, who continues to serve as an independent director.
Brian Roberts, a general partner at Andreessen Horowitz, has joined Docusign's Board: Roberts, who previously served as CFO of Splunk and Lyft, joined Andreessen Horowitz in 2024, where he advises a range of companies building AI-native applications. "Brian brings extensive finance and strategy expertise to our Board, and a unique combination of operating and investor perspectives," said Allan Thygesen, CEO of Docusign. "His experience in funding and leading transformative businesses will be invaluable to Docusign as we harness AI to pursue our Intelligent Agreement Management strategy."

[1] Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on year-over-year guided growth, revenue guidance range would be approximately 1.6% point lower for the quarter ending April 30, 2026 and 1.4% point 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 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, 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. We have determined the projected non-GAAP tax rate to be 20% for fiscal 2025 and 21% for fiscal 2026 due to the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

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 considered billings to measure our periodic performance, when taking into consideration the timing aspects of customer renewals, which represent 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 used billings to measure and monitor our ability to provide our business with the working capital generated by upfront payments from our customers. Beginning in the first fiscal quarter of 2027, we will no longer report or guide to billings.

Annual Recurring Revenue: We calculate Annual Recurring Revenue (“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. 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.
