Key Business Highlights
New Capabilities with the Intelligent Agreement Management ("IAM") Platform: Docusign launched new AI-powered IAM capabilities to help customers unlock the value of their agreements across the entire agreement management lifecycle.
Create:
-- Agreement Preparation: Agreement Prep helps teams efficiently prepare custom, accurate, professional agreements within the Docusign IAM platform. This feature automatically detects the agreement type, builds a template, and suggests relevant fields.
Commit:
-- Docusign ID Verification with CLEAR: Docusign's integration with CLEAR's biometric identity network makes ID verification fast and easy, allowing recipients to confirm their identity using their existing CLEAR profile.
Manage:
-- Custom Extractions in Docusign Navigator: Custom Extractions allow customers to capture organization-specific information from their agreement at scale. This guided process maximizes efficiency, reduces risk, and provides valuable insights by eliminating the need to manually review countless contracts.
Platform & Applications:
-- System for Cross-domain Identity Management ("SCIM"): Addressing the enterprise need for efficient, secure, and scalable user management, SCIM for Docusign now allows customers to automatically provision and centrally manage users through integrations with Okta and Microsoft Entra.
-- Maestro Workflow Templates: Maestro Workflow Templates allow IAM customers to leverage pre-built templates to quickly customize and deploy workflows. Templates make it simple to automate end-to-end agreement processes without writing any code.
Contract Lifecycle Management ("CLM") Product Releases and Highlights:
-- A 2025 IDC MarketScape Leader for AI-Enabled Buy-Side CLM Applications: Docusign was recognized as a leader in IDC's MarketScape for AI-Enabled Buy-Side CLM Applications report, which acknowledged that "IAM is core to the Docusign strategy of replacing legacy and fragmented systems." -- Unified Task Management: Unified Task Management streamlines task completion by centralizing all Docusign tasks into a single, comprehensive view, providing better visibility into all tasks and allowing teams to prioritize tasks based on AI-extracted terms, such as due date, contract value, and parties.
Board of Directors and Governance Updates
-- Mike Rosenbaum, CEO of Guidewire, has joined Docusign's board: In addition to his experience as CEO of a leading enterprise SaaS company, Rosenbaum brings valuable platform growth, product, and go-to-market experience to Docusign. Prior to Guidewire, Rosenbaum served as EVP of Product at Salesforce, leading product management and strategy for its core CRM offerings. "Mike's extensive experience in scaling platform SaaS businesses will be an immense resource for Docusign as we continue our transformation to an Intelligent Agreement Management company," said Allan Thygesen, CEO of Docusign. "The opportunity to continue to revolutionize agreement technology for the benefit of our customers is profound, and Mike's arrival will help us continue to capture that opportunity." -- James Beer has been appointed as Docusign's next Board Chair: He will succeed Maggie Wilderotter in this role at the end of the current fiscal year. Beer is a seasoned public company director with decades of CFO experience across American Airlines, Symantec, McKesson, and Atlassian. Beer has served on Docusign's Board and Audit Committee since 2020, and will bring deep finance and strategy experience to his role as independent Board Chair. "The introduction and growth of IAM represents a pivotal moment for Docusign as we pioneer a new software category fueled through advances in AI. It is an incredibly exciting time to lead the Board," said Beer. Wilderotter, who joined Docusign's Board in 2017 and has served as Chair since 2018, will remain an independent director.

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. 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 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.
