NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Workiva Inc. (NYSE:WK), a leading, AI-powered platform for transparency, accountability, and trust, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

“Workiva delivered another solid quarter, driven by broad-based demand across our solution portfolio and unified platform,” said Julie Iskow, President & Chief Executive Officer. “We outperformed on both the top and bottom line, and we are raising the FY 2025 guide for both revenue and operating margin. This is the result of our disciplined commitment to productivity and driving measurable improvement to operating leverage in our business.”

“Strong execution across the business led to 23% growth in subscription revenue, compared to 19% growth in Q3 of last year,” said Jill Klindt, Chief Financial Officer. “At the same time, our focus on profitable growth has enabled us to raise our 2025 non-GAAP operating margin target by 400 basis points at the midpoint since the start of the year.”

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 and gross margin, non-GAAP income from operations, 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 margin is the ratio calculated by dividing non-GAAP gross profit by revenues. 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 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 the weighted- average shares outstanding as presented in the calculation of GAAP net income (loss) per share. 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.
