DocuSign, Inc. (NASDAQ: DOCU) reported stronger-than-expected second-quarter results in a Sept. 3, 2026 press release and raised fiscal 2027 revenue and annual recurring revenue (ARR) guidance, citing accelerating customer adoption of its AI-enabled agreement capabilities.
Quarter Results and Profitability
DocuSign reported second-quarter fiscal 2027 results for the three months ended July 31, 2026, in a Form 8-K filing that included the earnings press release as Exhibit 99.1. The company scheduled a webcast conference call at 5 p.m. ET to discuss the results.
Total revenue rose 9.0% year over year to $876 million, including about a 1.3-percentage-point benefit from foreign exchange. GAAP net income was $78 million, with diluted earnings per share of $0.40, up from $0.30 a year earlier. On a non-GAAP basis, diluted EPS was $1.16, and the operating margin was 31.6%. GAAP gross margin improved slightly to 79.7% from 79.3%, while non-GAAP gross margin was 81.7%, down marginally from 82.0%.
Cash flow remained robust. Net cash from operating activities reached $335 million, and free cash flow was $296 million, representing a 34% margin. The company held $973 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments at quarter-end. It repurchased $307 million of common stock, up from $202 million a year earlier, reducing diluted weighted-average shares to 193 million from 211 million.
Guidance and Intelligent Agreement Management Momentum
For the quarter ending October 31, 2026, DocuSign guided revenue to $886 million–$890 million and raised full-year fiscal 2027 revenue guidance to about $3.5 billion. It set ARR growth guidance at 8.5%–9.0% and a non-GAAP operating margin band of 31.0%–31.5%. Third-quarter non-GAAP gross-margin and operating-margin guidance were 81.5%–81.9% and 31.3%–31.7%, respectively. Excluding foreign currency effects, the quarter guidance would be roughly 1.0 percentage point lower and the full-year guidance about 1.2 points lower. Management attributed part of the upgraded outlook to stronger AI-related demand for its agreement-management capabilities.
Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM) accounted for 15.1% of total ARR as of July 31, up from 12.6% as of April 30. The company expects IAM to represent 18% to 19% of total ARR exiting the fourth quarter of fiscal 2027. This shift, combined with strong cash flow and share buybacks, supported the decision to raise revenue and ARR targets and signals strengthened near-term momentum.
The earnings release stated the company “delivered 9% revenue growth, strong cash generation and boosted fiscal 2027 revenue and ARR guidance as IAM adoption accelerates.”
