Filing Explained

As of June 30, $71.2 million of notes was current; the 3.9 million-share plan increase is authorization capacity, not an issuance.

This Form 10-Q is Workiva’s unaudited quarterly report, covering interim financial statements and updates to liquidity and risks. As of June 30, 2026, the company classified $71.2 million of 2026 convertible notes as a current liability, while $697.4 million of 2028 notes remained non-current. The immediate structural consequence is that the 2026 notes are approaching their stated maturity and represent a near-term debt obligation.

The 2026 notes mature on August 15, 2026, while the 2028 notes mature on August 15, 2028. Holders may receive cash, Class A common stock, or a combination upon conversion, at the company’s election under the indenture. The filing lists 6,132,025 shares underlying the convertible notes among securities excluded from diluted share calculations.

On May 28, 2026, stockholders approved an equity-plan amendment adding 3,900,000 shares to the grant pool; 5,857,132 shares remained available at quarter-end. This is authorization capacity rather than an issuance: additional shares, if issued, would increase the total share count and reduce existing holders’ percentage ownership.

The next named debt milestones are the 2026 notes’ August 15, 2026 maturity and the 2028 notes’ August 21, 2026 redemption date, with redemption subject to the stock-price conditions in the indenture.

Remaining performance obligations $1,456.5 million As of June 30, 2026 for subscription contracts
convertible senior notes financial
"As of June 30, 2026, we had outstanding debt relating to our convertible senior notes"
Convertible senior notes are a type of loan that a company issues to investors, which can be turned into company shares later on. They are called "senior" because they are paid back before other debts if the company runs into trouble. This allows investors to earn interest like a loan but also have the chance to own part of the company if its value rises.
remaining performance obligations financial
"we expect revenue of approximately $1,456.5 million to be recognized from remaining performance obligations"
Remaining performance obligations are the work a company still needs to complete for its customers, like finishing a service or delivering a product. It’s important because it shows how much future income the company has coming in from current agreements, giving a clearer picture of its ongoing business.
net retention rate financial
"Our net retention rate including add-ons was 110.5% as of the quarter ended June 30, 2026"
Net retention rate measures how much revenue a company keeps and grows from its existing customers over a set period, after accounting for expansions, contractions and lost customers. Think of it like checking whether a garden of existing plants is producing more fruit this year than last — it shows whether the current customer base is becoming more valuable or shrinking. Investors use it to judge revenue sustainability and growth potential without relying on new customers.
stock-based compensation expense financial
"Stock-based compensation expense was recorded in the following cost and expense categories"
Stock-based compensation expense is the value that a company records when it gives employees or executives shares or options to buy shares as part of their pay. It matters because it shows the true cost of paying employees this way, which can affect the company's profits and how investors see its financial health.
share repurchase plan financial
"our board of directors authorized a share repurchase plan for up to $100.0 million"
A share repurchase plan is when a company uses cash to buy its own stock from the market, reducing the number of shares available to investors. This matters because fewer shares can make each remaining share represent a larger piece of ownership and boost earnings-per-share—like slicing a pizza into fewer pieces so each slice is bigger—and it can signal management thinks the stock is undervalued, though it also means cash won’t be used for other purposes.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are subject to the safe harbor created thereby. All statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q other than statements of historical facts, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “will” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in any subsequent filing we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), as well as in any documents incorporated by reference that describe risks and factors that could cause results to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements.
Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, achievements or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will occur. We are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after completion of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations.

WORKIVA INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Workiva Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company” or “we” or “us”), is a leading, audit-ready platform for trust, transparency, and accountability. Accounting, finance, sustainability, risk, and audit teams worldwide rely on Workiva for their mission-critical work. We transform how customers connect data, unify processes, and empower teams in a secure, audit-ready, collaborative platform.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The financial information presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements has been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and in accordance with rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2025 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations. The operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year ending December 31, 2026.
Seasonality affects our revenue and cash flows from operations. Revenue from professional services is generally higher in the first quarter of our calendar year as many of our customers file their Form 10-K in the first calendar quarter. Our operating cash flow may be affected by the timing of employee cash bonus payments during the first and fourth calendar quarters and by the timing of payouts under our commission plans in the first quarter. The condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in this report and the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on February 19, 2026.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Workiva Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. These estimates include, but are not limited to, the allowance for credit losses, the determination of the relative selling prices of our services, the measurement of material rights, health insurance claims incurred but not yet reported, valuation of available-for-sale marketable securities, useful lives of deferred contract costs, intangible assets and property and equipment, goodwill, income taxes, discount rates used in the valuation of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, and certain assumptions used in the valuation of equity awards. While these estimates are based on our best knowledge of current events and actions that may affect us in the future, actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, which amends the guidance in ASC 470-20 for induced conversions of convertible debt instruments. The update clarifies the accounting treatment for debt conversion wherein inducement offers are made, regardless of whether the settlement is in equity, cash, or a combination of both. Previously, induced conversions were limited to equity settlements. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025. We adopted this standard for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2026. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive and Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), requiring public business entities (PBEs) to provide disaggregated disclosures of relevant income statement expenses. The amendments aim to improve financial reporting by enhancing transparency in the notes to financial statements, specifically regarding expense categories. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are assessing the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

We do not believe the unrealized losses represent credit losses based on our evaluation of available evidence as of June 30, 2026, which includes an assessment of whether it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the investment's amortized cost basis.
4. Fair Value Measurements
We determine the fair values of our financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability and establishes that the fair value of an asset or liability shall be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable inputs based on our assumptions.

Financial Assets
Cash equivalents primarily consist of AAA-rated money market funds with overnight liquidity and no stated maturities. We classified cash equivalents as Level 1 due to the short-term nature of these instruments and measured the fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
When available, our marketable securities are valued using quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. If we are unable to value our marketable securities using quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets, we value our investments using broker reports that utilize quoted market prices for comparable instruments. We validate, on a sample basis, the derived prices provided by the brokers by comparing their assessment of the fair values of our investments against the fair values of the portfolio balances of another third-party professional pricing service. As of June 30, 2026, all of our marketable securities were valued using quoted prices for comparable instruments in active markets and are classified as Level 2.
Based on our valuation of our money market funds and marketable securities, we concluded that they are classified in either Level 1 or Level 2, and we have no financial assets measured using Level 3 inputs on a recurring basis. The following table presents information about our assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the above input categories (in thousands):

Convertible Senior Notes
As of June 30, 2026, the fair value of our convertible senior notes due in August 2026 and 2028 was $60.1 million and $653.7 million, respectively. The fair value was determined based on the quoted price of the convertible senior notes in an over-the-counter market on the last trading day of the reporting period and has been classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

In August 2019, we issued $345.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.125% convertible senior notes due 2026 in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including the exercise in full by the initial purchasers of their option to purchase an additional $45.0 million principal amount (the "2026 Notes”). The 2026 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 1.125% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on February 15, 2020. Proceeds from the issuance of the 2026 Notes totaled $335.9 million, net of initial purchaser discounts and issuance costs.
In August 2023, we issued $702.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.250% convertible senior notes due 2028 in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including the partial exercise of 77.0 million principal amount by the initial purchasers of their option to purchase up to an additional $100 million principal amount (the "2028 Notes”). The 2028 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 1.250% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing on February 15, 2024. Proceeds from the issuance of the 2028 Notes totaled $691.1 million, net of initial purchaser discounts and issuance costs.
The 2026 Notes and the 2028 Notes are together referred to as the "Notes".
The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture and are senior, unsecured obligations of the Company. The 2028 Notes will rank equally with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, including the Company’s outstanding 2026 Notes.
Holders of the Notes may convert all or a portion of their Notes prior to the close of business on their respective Free Convertibility dates, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, only under the following circumstances:
during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter in which the respective Notes were issued (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;
during the five consecutive business day period immediately following any ten consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price (as defined below) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our Class A common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;
14

Table of Contents
if we call any or all of the Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or
upon the occurrence of certain specified corporate events as set forth in the relevant indenture.
On or after the relevant Free Convertibility Date, holders of the Notes may convert their Notes at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the Notes.
Upon conversion, we will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our Class A common stock, at our election, in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions provided in the indenture.
The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at its option, on or after the respective Redemption Date, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the respective Redemption Date.
As of June 30, 2026, the Free Convertibility Date for the 2026 Notes is less than one year from the balance sheet date and therefore the 2026 Notes are classified as current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the second quarter of 2026 none of the conversion conditions related to our 2028 Notes were met and therefore the 2028 Notes are not convertible at the option of the holders. As a result, the 2028 Notes were classified as non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2026.
Interest expense representing the amortization of issuance costs as well as contractual interest expense is amortized to interest expense at an effective interest rate of 1.5% and 1.6% over the term of the 2026 Notes and 2028 Notes, respectively.
As of June 30, 2026, the remaining life of the 2026 Notes and 2028 Notes were approximately 0.2 years and 2.2 years, respectively.

6. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
From time to time we may become involved in legal proceedings or be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We evaluate the development of legal matters on a regular basis and accrue a liability when we believe a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we currently believe that the final outcome of any currently pending legal proceedings to which we are a party will not have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
7. Stock-Based Compensation
We grant stock-based incentive awards to attract, motivate and retain qualified employees, non-employee directors and consultants, and to align their financial interests with those of our stockholders. We utilize stock-based compensation in the form of restricted stock units, performance restricted stock units, options to purchase Class A common stock and Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") purchase rights. In December 2014, our Board of Directors adopted and the Company’s stockholders approved the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan ("the Plan"). On May 28, 2026, stockholders approved an amendment to the Plan that increased the number of shares available for grant by 3,900,000. As of June 30, 2026, 5,857,132 shares of Class A common stock were available for grant under the Plan.

Asset Acquisition
On March 9, 2026, we acquired a company with deep expertise in data automation. The acquisition was not material to the consolidated financial statements.
10. Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Net income (loss) per share is allocated based on the contractual participation rights of the Class A and Class B common shares as if the income (loss) for the year has been distributed. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, net income (loss) is allocated on a proportionate basis.
A reconciliation of the denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share is as follows (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). Our CEO reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. There are no segment managers who are held accountable by the chief operating decision maker, or anyone else, for operations, operating results and planning for levels or components below the consolidated unit level. Accordingly, we determined we have one operating and reportable segment.

12. Provision for Income Taxes
For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $3.3 million on pretax income of $16.8 million and $1.7 million on pretax loss of $17.7 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was approximately 19.8% and (9.4)%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $4.9 million on pretax income of $37.4 million and $3.6 million on pretax loss of $37.2 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was approximately 13.2% and (9.7)%, respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily as a result of the level and mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions and consists primarily of income taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business, as well as state income taxes in the United States. We have a full valuation allowance on our U.S. deferred tax assets as we have concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2026. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in any subsequent filing we make with the SEC.
Overview
The Workiva platform powers trust, transparency, and accountability. Accounting, finance, sustainability, risk, and audit teams from more than 6,700 organizations worldwide, including over 85% of FORTUNE® 1,000 companies, rely on Workiva for their mission-critical work. We transform how customers connect data, unify processes, and empower teams in a secure, audit-ready, collaborative platform.
From data to disclosure, the Workiva platform empowers customers by connecting and transforming data from hundreds of enterprise resource planning (“ERP”), human capital management (“HCM”), and customer relationship management (“CRM”) systems, as well as other third-party cloud and on-premise applications. Customers use our platform to create, review and publish data-linked documents, presentations, and reports with greater control, consistency, accuracy, and productivity. Our platform is flexible and scalable, so customers can easily adapt it to define, automate, and change their business processes in real time.
While our customers use our platform for more than 100 different use cases, across dozens of vertical industries, we organize our sales and marketing resources into three purpose-built solution groups (financial reporting, sustainability management, and governance, risk and compliance (“GRC”)) focusing primarily on the office of the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), Chief Sustainability Officer (“CSO”), and Chief Audit Executive (“CAE”).
We operate our business on a SaaS model. Customers enter into annual and multi-year subscription contracts to gain access to our platform. Our subscription fee includes the use of our software and technical support. Our subscription pricing is based primarily on a solution-based licensing model. Under this model, operating metrics related to a customer’s expected use of each solution determine the price. We charge customers additional fees primarily for document setup and XBRL tagging services.
We generate sales primarily through our direct sales force. In addition, we augment our direct sales channel with partnerships. Our advisory and service partners offer a wider range of domain and functional expertise that broadens the capabilities of our platform, bringing scale and support to customers and prospects. Our technology partners enable more data and process integrations to help customers connect critical transactional systems directly to our platform.
We continue to invest in the development of our solutions, infrastructure and sales and marketing to drive long-term growth. Our full-time employee headcount was 2,887 at June 30, 2026, a slight decrease from 2,896 at June 30, 2025.
Our revenue grew to $255.3 million and $502.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 from $215.2 million and $421.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. We generated net income of $13.4 million and $32.4 million during the three and six months ended

We continue to invest for future growth and are focused on several key drivers, including our connected audit-ready platform, fit-for-purpose solutions, global expansion, and our partner ecosystem. These growth drivers often require a more sophisticated go-to-market approach and, as a result, we may incur additional costs upfront to obtain new customers and expand our relationships with existing customers, including additional sales and marketing expenses.
Effects of Policy and Regulatory Uncertainty
Sales of our sustainability management solutions have been, and may continue to be, materially impacted by domestic and global policy uncertainties. Shifts in regulatory priorities, market sentiment, and legal challenges to sustainability-related rules and regulations are affecting our market expansion opportunities in the U.S. and abroad. For example, the EU's Omnibus Directive, which revises CSRD scoping thresholds, removes the climate transition plan requirement, and implements other targeted amendments to the CSRD, entered into force on March 18, 2026. The status of implementing these amendments varies by EU Member States. This variability, together with a mandated EU scope-review process that could result in further recalibration of CSRD applicability in future years, has contributed to uncertainty among our customers regarding their compliance obligations and has influenced the pace of customer adoption of our sustainability solutions. The potential impact on our growth trajectory of these changes, and of global policy uncertainty generally, cannot be accurately predicted.
Ongoing regulatory initiatives, including proposed changes to SEC reporting requirements intended to reduce burdens on public companies and enhance the attractiveness of capital markets, could affect the performance of certain of our businesses. The SEC has proposed rule amendments that would permit reporting companies to elect semiannual reporting on a new Form 10-S in lieu of quarterly reporting on Form 10-Q. If adopted and if a significant portion of our current or prospective customers elect semiannual reporting, demand for solutions tied to quarterly reporting cadences could be affected. The SEC has also proposed a number of other regulatory actions. For example, the SEC has proposed (i) a new filer status framework that would raise the Large Accelerated Filer public float threshold from $700 million to $2 billion, simplifying filing requirements for issuers below that threshold; (ii) a 60-month IPO seasoning period before newly public companies become subject to accelerated filing requirements; (iii) exemptions from SOX Section 404(b) auditor attestation requirements for non-accelerated filers; (iv) a long-range plan discussing a potential overhaul of the EDGAR system and the use of AI; and (v) requests for comment on potential XBRL structured data exemptions for smaller filers.
These developments may have positive or negative impacts on our business, but the scope and timing of any effects remain uncertain. We continue to monitor regulatory developments and assess potential effects across our business. The full scope of these potential regulatory developments, and their implications for our financial performance, cannot be predicted accurately at this time.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance
Generate Growth From Existing Customers. The Workiva platform can exhibit a powerful network effect within an enterprise, meaning that the usefulness of our platform attracts additional users. Since solution-based licensing offers our customers an unlimited number of seats for each solution purchased, we expect customers to add more seats over time. As more employees in an enterprise use our platform, additional opportunities for collaboration and automation drive demand among their colleagues for additional solutions.

Table of Contents
Pursue New Customers. We sell to organizations that manage large, complex processes with distributed teams of contributors and disparate sets of business data. We market our platform to professionals and executives in the areas of financial and non-financial reporting, including regulatory, multi-entity and management reporting. In addition, we market to teams responsible for sustainability management and GRC programs. We intend to continue to build our sales and marketing organization and leverage our brand equity to attract new customers.
Offer More Solutions. We intend to introduce new solutions to continue to meet growing demand for our platform. Our close and trusted relationships with our customers are a source for new use cases, features and solutions. We have a disciplined process for tracking, developing and releasing new solutions that are designed to have immediate, broad applicability, together with a strong value proposition and high return on investment for both Workiva and our customers. Our advance planning team assesses customer needs, conducts industry-based research and defines new markets. This vetting process involves our sales, product marketing, customer success, professional services, research and development, finance and senior management teams.
Expand Across Enterprises. Our success in delivering multiple solutions has created demand from customers for a broader-based, enterprise-wide Workiva platform. In response, we have been improving our technology and realigning sales and marketing to capitalize on our growing enterprise-wide opportunities. We believe this expansion will add new users, increase revenue and continue to support our high revenue retention rates. However, we expect that enterprise-wide deals will be larger and more complex, which tend to lengthen the sales cycle.
Add Partners. We continue to expand and deepen our relationships with global and regional partners, including consulting firms, system integrators, large and mid-sized independent software vendors, and implementation partners. Our advisory and service partners offer a wider range of domain and functional expertise that broadens our platform’s capabilities and promotes Workiva as part of the digital transformation projects they drive for their customers. Our technology partners enable powerful data and process integrations to help customers connect critical transactional systems directly to our platform, with powerful linking, auditability and control features. We believe that our partner ecosystem extends our global reach, accelerates the usage and adoption of our platform, and enables more efficient delivery of professional services.
Investment in growth. We plan to continue to invest in the development of our platform, fit-for-purpose solutions and application marketplace to enhance our current offerings and build new features. For example, we are transforming our platform to be agentic-first where agents will enable customers to accelerate reporting and compliance outcomes with the control and traceability of the Workiva platform. In addition, we expect to continue to invest in our sales, marketing, professional services and customer success organizations to drive additional revenue and support the needs of our growing customer base and to take advantage of opportunities that we have identified in Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") and Asia-Pacific ("APAC") regions.
Seasonality. Our revenue from professional services has some degree of seasonality. Many of our customers employ our professional services just before they file their Form 10-K, often in the first calendar quarter. Our operating cash flow may be affected by the timing of employee cash bonus payments during the first and fourth calendar quarters and by the timing of payouts under our commission plans in the first quarter.

Total customers. We believe total number of customers is a key indicator of our financial success and future revenue potential. We define a customer as a separate and distinct buying entity, such as a company, a government institution, or a distinct business unit of a large company that has an active subscription contract with us or one of our partners to access our platforms as of the measurement date. Companies with publicly-listed securities account for a majority of our customers. As customers acquired through our Sustain.Life acquisition in 2024 renew their contracts with Workiva, they are added to our customer count above.
Gross retention rate. Our gross retention rate is based on subscription and support revenue. We calculate our gross retention rate based on all customers that were active at the end of the same calendar quarter of the prior year (“base customers”). We begin by annualizing the subscription and support revenue recorded in the same calendar quarter of the prior year for those base customers who are still active at the end of the current quarter. We divide the result by the annualized subscription and support revenue in the same quarter of the prior year for all base customers. We believe gross retention rates are an important metric to track how the Company retains its base revenue for each year.
Our gross retention rate was 97.3% as of June 30, 2026, relatively flat from June 30, 2025. We believe that our success in maintaining a high rate of revenue retention is attributable primarily to our robust technology platform and strong customer service. Customers whose securities were deregistered due to merger or acquisition or financial distress accounted for over half of our revenue attrition in the latest quarter.
Net retention rate. Our net retention rate is based on subscription and support revenue, and includes revenue from up-selling or cross-selling additional solutions, and pricing changes for existing customers and securing multi-year contract renewals containing periodic pricing term increases. We calculate our net retention rate by annualizing the subscription and support revenue recorded in the

current quarter for our base customers that were active at the end of the current quarter. We divide the result by the annualized subscription and support revenue in the same quarter of the prior year for all base customers. We believe our net retention rate is an important metric to measure the long-term value of customer agreements and our ability to retain our customers.
Our net retention rate including add-ons was 110.5% as of the quarter ended June 30, 2026, down from 113.7% as of June 30, 2025.
Annual contract value. Our annual contract value (“ACV”) for each customer is calculated by annualizing the subscription and support revenue recognized during each quarter. We believe the increase in the number of larger contracts shows our progress in expanding our customers’ adoption of our platform. As customers acquired through our Sustain.Life acquisition in 2024 renew their contracts with Workiva, they are incorporated into our ACV metrics in the following table.

Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
We generate revenue through the sale of subscriptions to our cloud-based software and the delivery of professional services. We serve a wide range of customers in many industries, and our revenue is not concentrated with any single customer or small group of customers. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, no single customer represented more than 1% of our revenue, and our largest 10 customers accounted for less than 10% of our revenue in the aggregate.
We generate sales directly through our sales force and partners. We also identify some sales opportunities with existing customers through our customer success and professional services teams.
Our customer contracts typically range in length from 12 to 36 months. We typically invoice our customers for subscription fees annually in advance. For contracts with a two or three year term, customers sometimes elect to pay the entire multi-year subscription term in advance. Our arrangements do not contain general rights of return.
Subscription and Support Revenue. We recognize subscription and support revenue on a ratable basis over the contract term beginning on the date that our service is made available to the customer. Amounts that are invoiced are initially recorded as deferred revenue.

Table of Contents
Professional Services Revenue. We believe our professional services facilitate the sale of our subscription service to certain customers. To date, most of our professional services have consisted of document set up, XBRL tagging, and consulting to help our customers with business processes and best practices for using our platform. Our professional services are not required for customers to utilize our solution. We recognize revenue for document set up when the service is complete and control has transferred to the customer. Revenue from XBRL tagging and consulting services are recognized as the services are performed.        
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel and related costs directly associated with our professional services, customer success teams and training personnel, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, travel, and stock-based compensation; the costs of contracted third-party vendors; the costs of third-party hosting fees for server usage by our customers; information technology costs; and facility costs.
Sales and Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of personnel and related costs, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, commissions, travel, and stock-based compensation. Other costs included in this expense are marketing and promotional events, our annual user conference, online marketing, product marketing, information technology costs, and facility costs. We pay sales commissions for initial contracts and expansions of existing customer contracts. When the relevant amortization period is one year or less, we expense sales commissions as incurred. All other sales commissions are considered incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer and are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of benefit that we have determined to be three years.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel and related costs, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, travel, and stock-based compensation; costs of third-party hosting fees for server usage by our developers; information technology costs; and facility costs.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and related costs for our executive, finance and accounting, legal, human resources, and administrative personnel, including salaries, benefits, bonuses, travel, and stock-based compensation; legal, accounting, and other professional service fees; other corporate expenses; information technology costs; and facility costs.

The change in compensation was primarily driven by reduced expenses of $1.4 million recognized as a result of our transition from a PTO model to a FTO model which was announced in the second half of 2025 and became effective in 2026 as well as a benefit of $0.3 million for a change in the timing of employer 401(k) match contributions in 2026, partially offset by normal compensation increases for existing headcount. The decrease in internal event costs is due to an internal event held in 2025 that did not recur in 2026.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview of Sources and Uses of Cash
As of June 30, 2026, our principal sources of liquidity were cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $815.2 million, which were held for working capital purposes. We have financed our operations primarily through cash generated from operations and issuances of convertible debt. We have generated significant operating losses as reflected in our accumulated deficit on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. While we may incur operating losses and negative cash flows from operations in the future, we believe that current cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.
Convertible Debt
In August 2023, we issued $702.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 1.250% 2028 Notes. Proceeds from the issuance of the 2028 Notes totaled $691.1 million, net of initial purchaser discounts and issuance costs. We used $396.9 million of the net proceeds from the 2028 Notes offering to repurchase $273.8 million principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, of our 1.125% 2026 Notes in separate and individually negotiated transactions with certain holders. As of June 30, 2026, we had outstanding debt relating to our 2026 Notes and 2028 Notes of $71.2 million and $697.4 million, with corresponding maturity dates of August 15, 2026 and August 15, 2028, respectively.
Share Repurchase Plan
On August 1, 2024, we announced that on July 30, 2024, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase plan for up to $100.0 million of our outstanding Class A common stock (the “2024 Repurchase Plan”). On February 16, 2026, our board of directors modified the 2024 Repurchase Plan to authorize an additional $250 million of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock for repurchase under the plan. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined at the Company’s discretion, and the share repurchase program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason. Shares may be repurchased through open market purchases in accordance with the requirements of Exchange Act Rule 10b-18, or privately negotiated transactions, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. As of June 30, 2026, we have repurchased $244.2 million of our Class A common stock under the 2024 Repurchase Plan.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk    
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see “Item 7A., Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since December 31, 2025.
Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to, and are effective to, provide assurance at a reasonable level that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
