Figma, Inc. (NYSE: FIG) reported first-quarter 2026 earnings on May 14, raising full-year revenue and non-GAAP operating-income guidance after revenue accelerated. Management attributed the growth to broad AI adoption and enterprise seat expansion.
Revenue Growth and Guidance Raise
Figma reported revenue of $333.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, up 46% year over year, accelerating from 40% growth in the prior quarter. The company raised its full-year fiscal 2026 revenue guidance to a range of $1.422 billion to $1.428 billion and set second-quarter revenue guidance between $348 million and $350 million. Management said the upgrade reflected sustained seat expansion and increased adoption of AI features across its platform. Dylan Field, co-founder and CEO, said, "Q1 was an incredible quarter for Figma: revenue growth accelerated for the second consecutive quarter and customers are going bigger and broader with Figma than ever before."

Profitability, Cash Flow, and Customer Expansion
Figma reported a GAAP net loss of $142.4 million for the quarter, compared with net income of $44.9 million a year earlier. The GAAP operating margin was approximately −41%, pressured by $169.0 million in stock-based compensation, higher AI-related infrastructure costs, and increased research and development spending. On a non-GAAP basis, the company posted operating income of $52.1 million, implying a 16% operating margin. Free cash flow reached $88.6 million, representing a 27% margin. The balance sheet showed $1.64 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, with no borrowings under a $500 million revolving credit facility at quarter end. [source:2]
Customer metrics indicated strong enterprise expansion. Net dollar retention was 139% for customers with more than $10,000 in annual recurring revenue (ARR), and the company counted 1,525 customers with ARR above $100,000. Early AI monetization began on March 18, 2026, with paid AI features and a credit model. More than 75% of users exceeding credit limits continued consuming credits, and over 95% remained active, supporting AI as a meaningful growth driver. [source:2]
The results show faster top-line growth and healthy cash generation despite near-term GAAP losses from compensation and AI investments.
