NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Workiva Inc. (NYSE: WK), a leading, audit-ready platform for trust, transparency, and accountability, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

“Q2 was another quarter marked by strong financial performance and continued proof that Workiva is the platform CFOs trust in the AI era,” said Julie Iskow, President & Chief Executive Officer. “We beat the high end of our revenue guidance with 19% growth in both subscription and total revenue, while rapidly expanding margins. At the same time, we are transforming our platform to be agentic-first where agents will enable customers in advanced solution tiers to accelerate reporting and compliance outcomes with the control and traceability of the Workiva platform.”

“While our pace of innovation has accelerated, we have also maintained our rigorous focus on operational discipline and expanding operating leverage as we scale the business,” said Barbara Larson, Chief Financial Officer. "Our non-GAAP operating margin beat the high end of our guidance by 180 basis points, representing a 1,300 basis point improvement over Q2 of last year. This outperformance has positioned us to achieve our 2027 medium-term operating margin target of 18% a full year ahead of schedule.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The non-GAAP adjustments referenced herein relate to the exclusion of stock-based compensation and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP historical financial measures has been provided in Table I at the end of this press release. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP guidance has been provided in Table II at the end of this press release.

Workiva believes that the use of non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP income from operations and non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share, free cash flow and free cash flow margin is helpful to its investors. These measures, which are referred to as non-GAAP financial measures, are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. Workiva’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures as tools for financial and operational decision making and for evaluating Workiva’s own operating results over different periods of time.

Non-GAAP gross profit is calculated by excluding stock-based compensation expense and amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets attributable to cost of revenues from gross profit. Non-GAAP income from operations is calculated by excluding stock-based compensation expense and amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets from loss from operations. Non-GAAP operating margin is the ratio calculated by dividing non-GAAP income from operations by revenues. Non-GAAP net income is calculated by excluding stock-based compensation expense, net of tax and amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets from net income (loss). Non-GAAP net income per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP net income by non-GAAP weighted- average shares outstanding.

Beginning with the three months and six months ended June 30, 2026, we are adding back interest expense (net of taxes) to the numerator of our non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in accordance with the if-converted method of calculating the dilutive impact of our convertible senior notes. Prior to this change, potentially dilutive shares associated with our convertible senior notes were included in the denominator, but the numerator was not adjusted, as our convertible senior notes had historically been anti-dilutive for GAAP purposes. As the Company has achieved GAAP profitability, our convertible senior notes may now be dilutive, and we are aligning our non-GAAP calculation with the if-converted method used for GAAP diluted EPS. Prior periods have not been recast.

Because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of equity instruments that can impact a company’s non-cash expenses, Workiva believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation expense allows for more meaningful comparisons between its operating results from period to period. For business combinations, we generally allocate a portion of the purchase price to intangible assets. The amount of the allocation is based on estimates and assumptions made by management and is subject to amortization. The amount of purchase price allocated to intangible assets and the term of its related amortization can vary significantly and are unique to each acquisition and thus we do not believe they are reflective of ongoing operations.

Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure, represents cash flow from operating activities less purchase of property and equipment. Free cash flow margin is calculated by dividing free cash flow by total revenue. We consider free cash flow and free cash flow margin to be liquidity measures that provide useful information to investors about the amount of cash generated or used by the business.

Non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in Workiva’s industry, as other companies in the industry may calculate non-GAAP financial results differently. In addition, there are limitations in using non-GAAP financial measures because the non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and exclude expenses that may have a material impact on Workiva’s reported financial results. Further, stock-based compensation expense has been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in Workiva’s business and an important part of the compensation provided to its employees. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Investors should review the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included below, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Workiva’s business.
